FRANSHOEK MOUNTAIN LODGE & POLO SCHOOL
Guest House Accommodation
between Fouriesburg / Ficksburg,
Free State, South Africa
"The Free State gladdens my heart, no matter what my mood. When I am here I
feel that nothing can shut me in, that my thoughts can roam as far as the
horizons." - Nelson Mandela
Franshoek Mountain Lodge lies about 20 kms outside of Ficksburg in a secluded
valley in the heart of cherry growing district of the Eastern Free State - a
dramatic landscape of sheer sandstone cliffs and gentle green slopes scattered
with an abundance of wild flowers.
We are surrounded by an area of exceptional beauty with caves and waterfalls to
explore, dams to fish in and walking trails to please everyone from the casual
stroller to the serious hiker. The lodge is very pet friendly as long as your
pet is pet friendly?
With only ten rooms, we provide an intimate, easy going, family friendly lodge
which appeals to all generations. The heart of the lodge is a charming, thatched
sandstone building where guests can relax at the bar or enjoy a delicious meal;
Thai food is
the house specialty but we cater to all tastes. On the cooler evenings, a
roaring log fire creates the perfect atmosphere for an evening of games or music
and many guests find themselves getting to know strangers who end up as enduring
friends.
The bedrooms are situated in the old farmhouse which is attached to the lodge
and each has its own access to our beautiful gardens which are home to a
menagerie of creatures including tortoises, cats, dogs, horses and a pot bellied
pig called Lily.
Up behind the guest buildings is a spectacular, sandstone edged swimming
pool-with-a-view where lunches can be served in summer. The pool area is
enclosed, so parents can relax, knowing that their children are safe. In the
evenings we fire up our Africa
n Steam Hut where you can detox and take a dip under our dazzling starlit night
skies. The lodge offers a variety of holistic treatments and therapies, among
them; reiki, aromatherapy massage, hypnotherapy, reflexology, hot stone massage.
We have recently built a thatched cottage with two double bedrooms and a wooden
deck reached by a spiral staircase where children can sleep. The master bedroom
has a king sized bed, slipper bath and one-way glass looking out to a
breathtaking view of the mountains.
