Introduction

The guest houses are built with local materials: sandstone, trees from the nearby woodlot and thatching grass. The cottages below the main house are smeared with a mixture of mud and cow dung according to the traditional method.The houses all blend perfectly in their surroundings . There’s no ugly wire fencing, only wooden rails are used. Rubbish is disposed of as ecologically as possible: all kitchen refuse is fed to neighbours’ pigs, paper and cardboard are kept for burning in the wood stove and fireplaces in winter, and all glass bottles and aluminium tins are taken to the recycler’s. Therefore only a minimum of rubbish is burnt in deep pits that are then covered up. Solar power is partially used in all houses, either for lighting or for hot water. However we are also connected to mains electricity to ensure that there is always a good supply of hot water and that guests can enjoy all modern conveniences (for eg to recharge their phone, to plug in their laptop, or to switch on their bedroom heater in winter).

Location

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). Morija is located between Maseru and Mafeteng, off the Main South Road. If you come from Maseru, you must drive past the airport and go on for about 20km before you see signs on your left indicating Morija (the first sign for the Guest Houses is also just before the turn-off). If you come from Mafeteng, the sign will be on your right.
