Morija Guest Houses

Top choice in Lesotho


At this sterling stone-and-thatch house perched high above the village, guests can choose between cosy rooms in the main building and cottages below. Mountain biking, village tours and pony treks are offered, making this a top spot to experience the area. Backpackers who arrive by public transport pay R200 per person, regardless of the room. Meals are served (breakfast/lunch/dinner M70/130/150).
