The Morija Guest House is perched on a rocky outcrop overlooking the historic village of Morija, in the Lesotho Lowlands (45 km from the capital Maseru). Built of handcut stone and thatched with local grass, it blends discreetly into the environment. During the day there are commanding views of the surrounding forest and the village below. The sunsets from the front deck and the views of the night sky are unforgettable. Below the main house, there are small cottages to welcome more visitors. The accommodation offered is rustic but comfortable and the rooms are tastefully decorated.

We can welcome 24 people comfortably (see details under "Facilities"). Guests can choose to cater for themselves or to order cooked meals. We are proud of our homely atmosphere where families, NGOs, church groups and professionals all feel at ease. We also organise special weekends, some to introduce visitors to the language and the culture of Lesotho, and others to teach French, with accommodation, meals and activities all being included (See details under "Special Events").

The 10th Morija Arts and Cultural Festival took place on 1 - 5 October 2008. In-between shows and concerts, our visitors enjoyed relaxing at the Guest Houses: napping, sipping wine on the terrace, drinking beer while admiring the view, or having a foot massage! Pure bliss!

On 8-9 November, we will hold a "Festive, Gastronomical and Historical Weekend" to celebrate the 175th anniversary of the arrival of the first French missionaries in Lesotho.
