  • Description
  • Facilities
On the outskirts of Fouriesburg, close to the Lesotho border and deep in the heart of the Eastern Free State highlands of South Africa you will find a special guest farm, Mara Farm.

This beautiful homestead is in the final stages of conversion into comfortable, homely and affordable accommodation and events venue for groups and individual parties. Bookings for the main house are open for August 2011, but the first self-catering cottage accommodating four guests in two bedrooms is already available.

To make your life even easier, we offer a complete holiday shopping service. Avoid the rushing and stress of last minute holiday shopping. Send us your shopping list prior to arriving and let us take care of groceries, liquor and soft drinks, braai requirements, allowing you to save time, sanity and car-space.

Sally, your hostess, is a well-respected caterer and meals are available with prior arrangement for those not wishing to self-cater. Small functions, picnic baskets, themed dinners and parties are expertly catered. Sally invites you to contact her to discuss your menu requirements.

Mara overlooks the majestic Maluti Mountains and our view tower is the ideal spot to drink in the beauty of valleys and sandstone precipices over a champagne breakfast, or leisurely sundowners after a day of exploring this fascinating region.

Clarens, en-route to the Golden Gate National Park, is a 30 minute drive as is Bethlehem and Ficksburg, home of the Cherry Festival. The closest border post to Lesotho is just 8km away making Mara the perfect base for visitors to this fascinating mountain kingdom. The Afriski ski resort and Khatse Dam is an easy day trip for those not able to overnight in Lesotho. We look forward to welcoming you to our special corner of this remarkable country.

Absolutely beautiful surroundings. One of the nicest places I've visited in the Eastern Freestate. Convenient location, not far from Clarens. Sally and Steve warm and welcoming. Enjoyed the stay despite the weather.

Sally and Steve were really welcoming and the views are to die for. Peace and quiet, feel really rested. Not for people who do not like animals. The accommodation was luxury for us as we are hardened campers in tents sleeping on the ground, but adequate for anyone who wants to self cater. Thanks a lot for sharing this lovely place with us.

What a great weekend at Mara Farm. Although freezing cold, the warm welcome made it so worth it. Very friendly hosts with the most spectacular view of the Maluti Mountains. We will definitely return in the future! Thank you.
