sprawling Fordoun is a working farm
with grassy pastures. The original milking
pen has been converted into an indoor
pool, and old farmhouses have been
converted into guest suites with luxurious
bathrooms, cosy fireside seating and
summery verandahs. What’s more, the
spa has a restaurant with the kind of
high standards that make it a dining

traditional African
potjie
(a lidded, cast-
iron cooking pot with three legs that can
be placed in an open fire). FromFordoun,
guests can go on a cultural tour to enrich
their African experience.
