Description

Mafube Mountain Retreat is secluded guest farm, a mere 25 minutes from the tourist hub of 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. Conveniently situated between Clarens and Fouriesburg, it is the ideal option for a secluded weekend getaway, a family reunion, or a group holiday.

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 braai facilities. Every unit has wonderful views of the surrounding mountains. Bed linen, as well as towels, are provided during your stay. Wifi is available in all three units.

If the venue is booked as a whole , the Lapa can be used to host small functions. In addition we have 3 small camp sites which are close to the pool and lapa. These camp sites are only available for group bookings and on application to the Mafube Mountain Retreat Management. One site is suitable for a caravan, one for a camping trailer and the third is suitable for tents only. Electricity is available for two of the sites using an extension cord. Ablution facilities consist of two showers, two toilets and two 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. You can explore the spectacular hiking trails and mountain paths, or visit the waterfalls, pools and caves. We also have genuine dinosaur footprints on one of the hikes, a dam with a canoe, a trampoline 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 25 minutes away.

Mafube Mountain Retreat is easily accessible by car or bus but it has 3 km of dirt road which is not suitable for very low profile cars, like sports cars, especially in the rainy season. As is usual on farm roads, if you are driving a low car, you will need to drive on the higher parts of the road in places.
