Fouriesburg Accommodation / Mafube Mountain Retreat Fouriesburg Accommodation / Self Catering Accommodation in Fouriesburg

Welcome to Mafube Mountain Retreat on SA-Venues.com, offering accommodation in Fouriesburg, Thabo Mofutsanyana.
 

Mafube Mountain Retreat is a little slice of heaven. Set in an amphitheatre of colorful sandstone cliffs, with stunning views from every window, it is the perfect place for a bit of soul therapy. It is a wonderful place to clear your head and experience peace and tranquility of unspoiled Africa.

Mafube Mountain Retreat is situated on a 465 hectare farm in the Eastern Free State Highlands which is one of the most beautiful areas in South Africa.. It is a place to escape the crowds and hassles of city life. It is a place to bring the children in the holidays, away from the shopping malls, and the barrage of television and computers. Explore the hiking trails and mountain paths. Visit the waterfalls, pools and caves, bird watch, fish or canoe: or simply unwind, in a place where the silence sings.

We are only a 20 minute drive from the popular tourist village of Clarens, where there are many good restaurants, shops and art galleries. The town also has an 18 hole golf course. We are about half an hour from Golden Gate National Park and only 16 kilometres from the border post of the Mountain Kingdom of Lesotho. Lesotho’s spectacular Katse Dam is in easy reach and in winter many of our guests take a day to visit Afriski which is only 90km from Fouriesburg.

The Fouriesburg area is well known for its Adventure tourism, including quad biking, hiking, mountain biking, and fishing, 4x4 trails, river rafting and horse riding.
