Our personal opinionTaking the Spas’ in KwaZulu-Natal into account, I like Fordoun the most! Fordoun offers wonderful spa treatments and the staff compliment the spa facilities too. The rooms are out of the ordinary for a Spa and I like that too. Being at Fordoun gave me a new release on life and I think it will do the same for you too. Taking time out is important and I think spending your time out at Fordoun will be very rewarding. I likes the couples massage room and the vichy shower, of course taking an afternoon stroll in what I could only describe as a meadow before my next set of treatments already put me in a fabulous mood! The continuous sound of flowing water from the various water features aids a good nights rest and all this resulted in a very pleasant stay! AttractionsFordoun is located in the rolling grasslands of the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, where the air is crystal-clear and smog and traffic are echoes of another lifestyle. Guests can enjoy gentle walks around the grounds, visit the herb garden of Dr Ndlovu, or ride on mountain bikes along designated routes through the Fordoun estate. Fly-fishing is available on three still waters on Fordoun, or, in season, in the pristine waters of the nearby Bushman’s or Mooi River. Golf is available at the magnificent Bosch Hoek course or the new Gowrie course which are both a few minutes away. Some of the outdoor activities in the area are:
