Description

Mafube Mountain Retreat is a secluded guest farm, a mere 30 minutes from the tourist hub of Clarens on the R711 between Fouriesburg and Clarens. It is a hiker's and nature lover's paradise, uniquely positioned in a semi-circle of red and yellow sandstone mountains and surrounded by a wonderful wilderness area.

Accommodation is offered in 3 self-catering units, namely the Rondawel, the Chalet and the Garden Unit and are all fully self-catering. The units are positioned between 25 and 50 meters apart for privacy and have their own kitchen facilities, and braai facilities. Each unit has wonderful views of the surrounding mountains. Guests are offered complimentary Wi-Fi.

If the venue is booked as a whole, the Lapa can be used to host small functions. In addition we have 3 small campsites which are close to the pool and lapa. These 3 campsites accommodate a maximum of 12 guests and are only available for group bookings and on application to the Mafube Mountain Retreat Management. Ablution facilities consist of 2 showers, 2 toilets and 2 basins.

Guests have access to the swimming pool and the communal Lapa containing a TV with full DStv channels and a table tennis table. Please note that due to a reception problem in the mountains, TV is not available in the units, only in the Lapa.

There is a lot to do here for both adults and children. We have genuine dinosaur footprints on one of the wonderful hiking trails, a dam with a canoe, a trampoline, a swimming pool and swings near the chalets and a special Plantation Playground about 800 meters from the chalets where there are special swings, climbing frames in the trees and a very popular safe zip-line for children under 40 kg in weight.

Other activities in the area include fishing and bird watching. In winter most of our visitors do a day trip into Lesotho to the ski resort of Afriski, to try out a bit of skiing or snowboarding. The town of Clarens, offering a variety of restaurants and shops, is located less than 30 minutes away.
