Guided hikes and walks can be arranged to take you on a
tour of discovery of the world of the lost bushmen and their legendary rock
art. This is a whole day trip and when leaving Moorcroft Manor you are
provided with a picnic lunch.
The hiking opportunities encircling Moorcroft Manor are countless and will
appeal to both beginners and experienced hikers. The
Terrace at Moorcroft is open daily for light lunches and your meal can be
enjoyed under the shade of the glorious, statuesque Pin Oaks. The Terrace is
well-known for its Ploughmans Platter, Smoked Salmon, Camembert &
Horseradish Salad and the very robust Steak & Caramelized Onion on Ciabatta.
A welcome interlude in the middle of the day. |
With Hodgsons Peaks as your compass point and the fresh, clear
mountain air as your guide, the hauntingly beautiful Drakensberg mountains
beckon. Moorcroft Manor Country House is situated amidst rolling green
hills and breath-taking sunsets on the outskirts of the country village of
Himeville, 8kms from Underberg in the Southern Drakensberg.
Moorcroft Manor is family-owned and operated and prides itself in offering
the highest standard of service excellence, hospitality and comfort.
Being graded 5 stars by the South African Grading Council for three years
has been an accomplishment and being voted "Best Guesthouse KZN – 2005“
by The Federated Hospitality Association of South Africa – East Coast has
been a highlight in the years we have been operating.“Awake to the tranquil sights and sounds of the countryside, soft
sunlight filtered through light mist and a rainbow of colours reflecting
from crystal like dew drops….”
Moorcroft Manor offers eight classically decorated rooms all with
bathrooms en suite. Choose from standard double rooms, a junior suite and
two executive suites.
Lose yourself in the sheer comfort of our kingsize beds, crisp vanilla
scented linen and finest quality Makoti down duvets and pillows. Selected
satellite television, ceiling fans, hairdryers and robes are available in
all our rooms.
All our bathrooms have underfloor heating to keep away the midnight chill
and in winter, a covered hot water bottle in your neatly turned down bed is
a welcoming treat. Our two executive suites are the epitome of luxury,
furnished with antiques, free standing showers and thoughtful touches. The
ambience and comfort will perfectly match your most romantic moments and
leave you feeling relaxed, revived and rejuvenated.
Freshly brewed tea or coffee with homemade biscotti is delivered to your
room each morning and can be enjoyed whilst marvelling at the uninterrupted
views of the Giants Cup from the private patios which adjoin each
room. Single beds and hypo allergenic duvets and pillows are available on
request.
Moorcroft Manor is optimally positioned directly on the
main route to the Sani Pass which leads into the Kingdom of Lesotho.
A tour up the Mighty Mountain can be arranged either via 4 x 4 with a tour
operator and guide or for a far more close encounter, a quad bike or rhino
ride, with a guide. A visit to a Basotho village is a highlight of the trip
as is lunch at the Highest Pub in Africa.
Valid passports are essential for these trips.
Our a la carte restaurant is open every evening and our
experienced chefs have assembled a menu with a variety of different flavours
and tastes which epitomise real food.
Only the freshest produce and ingredients are used in preparing our dishes.
The menu is changed seasonally to allow our guests to savour culinary
delights that are guaranteed to tantalize your tastebuds. Our Executive Chef
has personal recommendations which change daily as does our sinfully
decadent dessert menu.
