About Mara Farm
Mara Farm is a working farm on the outskirts of Fouriesburg, close to the Lesotho border and deep in the heart of the Eastern Free State highlands of South Africa.
This beautiful homestead is in the process of being converted into comfortable, homely and affordable accommodation and events venue for groups and individuals . The project will be completed mid-2009, but the first self-catering cottage is now available and the main homestead already equipped to accommodate small groups on request.
The farm is home to M.A.R.S - the Mara Animal Rehabilitation Sanctuary, the aim of which is not only to offer sanctuary and assistance to injured birds, exotic pets and small wildlife, but also to educate the general public on protecting the abundant natural bird and wildlife that we find in this magnificent area.
Mara's self-catering cottage is perfect for a small family or group and sleeps up to 4 in 2 x spacious bedrooms. The compact, well equipped kitchen and meal area is the central hub of the cottage and leads to the bedrooms and bathroom with shower. A cot is available on request.
An al-fresco seating area leads from one of the bedrooms and is positioned under a private pergola festooned with grape vines and overlooking a magnificent valley Gather around the fire-pit as evening falls and enjoy a braai as stars appear in the clear night sky. This is the ideal spot to absorb the true rhythm of country life.
Feel free to use the facilities in the main homestead during your stay. The farm kitchen, TV lounge, sunroom and large shady balcony are yours to enjoy while relaxing in a comfortable and down-to-earth home environment.
To make your life even easier we offer a complete holiday shopping service. Avoid the rushing and stress of last minute holiday shopping.

When complete the main homestead will sleep 8 - 10 guests in 4 x double bedrooms and sleeper couch making the venue ideal for interest groups, workshops, private parties and team building. The homestead is a perfect entertaininment and workshop space with the large patio leading into a huge sunroom featuring comfy seating, lots of books and a 10 seater built-in oregan table.
