Part of the holistic relevance of everything at Fordoun has led to the
development of the Fordoun signature range of products, created in conjunction
with Dr Elliot Ndlovu, herbalist and ethnobotanist, who is a traditional
African Healer and Inyanga, and a director of Fordoun Spa.
Under his guidance, a number of products have been carefully created from
indigenous traditional healing plants, especially for Fordoun. The range
includes soaps, shower gels, massage oils, bath salts, creams and sprays, based
on the theme of the seven Chakras and the seven colours of the rainbow. A
luxury Eau de Toilette range, Ma’Ndlovu for women and BabaNdlovu for
men, has been designed for both the local and export markets.
Fordoun also make use of Elemis an exclusive up market international beauty
treatment range. Which we feel works well with the Ndlovu range and compliments
our natural , South African range, Africology.

Outdoor Activities
Fordoun 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.
