The Morija Guest House is perched on a rocky outcrop overlooking the small historic town of Morija, in the Lesotho Lowlands (45 km south of the capital Maseru). Built of hand-cut 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 (a telescope is available). 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.

Eco-Tourism:
Eco-tourism is not just a catchword for us. We strive to respect the environment, work with the local community, and facilitate authentic encounters between the tourists and the locals.
Morija Guest House is on top of the hill overlooking the town of Morija, the National Museum of Lesotho and the Queens supporting women in business, and also close to the Kings project, which is a joint venture between Lesotho and Thailand to support the farmers, with agriculture and also very close to the Kings actual home in Matseng!
