Fordoun Hotel & Spa is a highly recommended Nottingham Road hotel providing accommodation for tourists visiting the Natal Midlands region.

About Fordoun Hotel & Spa

This celebrated five star boutique hotel in Nottingham Road offers a conveniently located destination, luxuriously appointed rooms, friendly service, a superior fine dining restaurant, and a conference centre ideal for smaller groups.

This owner run hotel and spa was built into and around an original 1860s settler homestead and barns plus the 1950s dairy, manager's house, garages and cattle sheds. The overall design and layout are intended to retain a sense of history combined with modernism. Wherever possible, old materials have been incorporated within the development.

Accommodation

The hotel comprises 22 luxurious, individually appointed double suites with private verandas, under floor heating and dream bathrooms, each with bath and shower, and a dressing area. Each room has its own television, and tea/coffee-making facilities. There is also a double suite with wheelchair access and specially adapted bathroom. The New Mountain View Suites boast panoramic views of the entire Drakensberg range.

Please see the individual cottage or suite descriptions and photographs below, to assist you with your choice.

Dining

Skye Restaurant is a fine dining establishment set in the heart of The Natal Midlands, incorporating the beauty and luxury that is The Midlands into our menu and restaurant. In the past year, we have been awarded with 2 Chefs Hats by Portfolio Places and been listed in The BOE / Moet en Chandon Top 100 Restaurants in South Africa.

The restaurant at Fordoun serves modern classical cuisine using locally sourced ingredients wherever possible from our surrounding farms. Skye Restaurant is open to our guests and the public for breakfast, lunch and dinner 7 days a week.

Conferencing

The tranquil conference venue is ideal for smaller managerial conferences. The conference room can accommodate up to 60 delegates cinema style or 34 delegates boardroom style. Fordoun is popular due to the service the group will receive, as we only have small groups we can afford specific attention on individual and group requests.

The Spa

The Spa features acclaimed treatments such as the rasul (a Turkish steam and clay treatment room), a saline flotation pool, heated swimming pool, outdoor swimming pool, sauna, steam room, and sumptuous couples' treatment suite with hydrotherapy bath, vichy shower and hydrotherapy room.

Loadshedding Facilities

What is loadshedding? It refers to the temporary suspension of electricity provided by Eskom, South Africa's electricity provider, to reduce consumption and thereby the load on the national grid. To compensate, South African property owners are turning to solar power, inverters with backup batteries or in some cases generators to keep the power on, wherever feasible.

Verified reviewvery good

Relaxing trip with good food. Neg. When not fully booked consideration should be given to leaving a gap between rooms with kids. I think washing of cars must be confirmed with the owner. The washing of a black Porsche with an old towel is not for everyone.
