Fordoun/KwaZuku-Natal. This family-run hotel and spa complex exudes the promise of warm hospitality and exquisite service, capped with its unique range of traditional medicine and healing methods alongside contemporary spa treatments.
As a luxurious boutique establishment, Fordoun boasts 17 plush suites, each with its own private verandah, not to mention a large bathroom and dressing area. The decorative theme for each suite ranges from various local flora and fauna, to families who lived on the farm, to historical battlefield site of this area.
All staying guests have free use of the large indoor heated pool, the flotation pool with underwater music and starry ceiling, as well as the sauna, steam room and gymnasium. But the real attraction of Fordoun is its African spa treatments.
Confirming Fordoun's meteoric rise as a landmark spa destination is a number of prestigious accolades. It was named a finalist at the inaugural Les Nouvelles Esthetiques Spa Awards 2005 when the hotel was just four months old, and it also bagged the title of Top Destination Spa 2006 at the Professional Beauty Spa Awards.
A cosy country getaway rich in local flavours and influences, it certainly offers a holiday experience unlike any other.
