Mama Fourie's

Mamma Fouries offers three fully equipped, self-catering units which ooverlooking orchards and Ventersberg the highest mountain in the area. In contrast with all of the dirt roads in town, the path leading to Mama Fourie's is lawned and it ensures a soft landing.

We offer our beautifully decorated units with unusual enamel fittings, natural stained cement floors, white bed linen, towels and Sechweshwe fabrics. The self-catering units have either twin beds or king-size beds and en-suite bathrooms. The open-plan kitchens are fully equipped and they lead into open-plan living areas with wooden dining tables and lounges. Each cottage has braai facilities and safe off-street parking. Rooms are heated by wall panels and all the beds have electric blankets in winter or hot water bottles for the kids.

If clients prefer being catered for, we have an old Thames and Ford bus that have been restored and changed into a kitchen and dining area. By doing so, we are now able to offer self-catering and B&B facilities. We offer a Jukskei course and an outdoor chess board.

    11 December 2015

    "We loved our stay at Mama Fourie! Philna is a lovely host, very accommodating and she makes sure her guests are comfortable and happy. We loved eating in the bus - incredible homemade chicken pie... The decor is unique and full of character. Clean and well serviced, it had everything we needed. Such a pity we couldn't stay longer! We will be back for sure! This will have to become a regular stop! Thank you for your hospitality Mama Fourie. A gem!"

  • "A comfortable "quirky" home from home"

    27 October 2013

    "We really enjoyed our overnight at Mama Fourie's. It stands out from other B&B's we have stayed in in that the owner has used enamel objects in her design to make the rooms unique and different. Think enamel basins, light shades and toilet roll holders. Old paraffin lamps have been converted to work off electricity. A king-sized bed made sure we had a good night's sleep.An enjoyable breakfast was had in their converted buses which also made for a unique dining experience.Will definitely overnight (if not longer) when we are in the area again."

  • "Awesome Stay"

    27 July 2011

    "My partner and I spent two nights at Mama Fourie's during July. We immediately felt welcome and relaxed. Our unit was beautifully furnished with lots of personality. We were out sightseeing during the days and when we came home in the evenings our incredible host Philna had switched on the heaters so our unit was warm, snug and cozy. The two buses in the yard which Philna converted into a kitchen and diner, with a beautiful antique fire place, made the experience of Mama Fourie's even more interesting and unique. If you are in the Fouriesburg region, I would highly recommend staying at Mama Fourie's, it’s awesome!"
