Part of the holistic relevance of everything at Fordoun has led to the development of the Fordoun signature range of products, created in conjunction with Dr Elliot Ndlovu, herbalist and ethnobotanist, who is a Sangoma and Inyanga, and a director of Fordoun Spa. Under his guidance, a number of products have been carefully created from indigenous traditional healing plants, especially for Fordoun. The range includes soaps, gels, protective clays, oils, bath salts, lotions and creams, and sprays, based on the theme of the seven Chakras and the seven colours of the rainbow. A luxury Eau de Toilette range, Ma’Ndlovu for women and BabaNdlovu for men, has been designed for both the local and export markets. Fordoun also make use of Elemis an exclusive up market international beauty treatment range. Which we feel works well with the Ndlovu range. Fordoun won the Top Destination Spa at the 2006 Professional Beauty Spa Awards. This is a great credit to us and a tribute to all those guests who have stayed with us and spoken so favorably about us. This is a national award, and we were up against some fantastic Spa’s. According to the brochure at the Professional Beauty Awards dinner, “The winners reflect true excellence and are worth admiring, because it’s not only about the spa or salon experience, but about ensuring that staff issues are in place, education plans are up to date and that a solid marketing campaign is used. Judges make sure that client-service is high priority and that the treatment menu offers enough of a variety. The entrants were judged by individuals of standing in the industry and the final decision was made by industry experts who add their particular expertise to the judging criteria.” Accommodation The hotel comprises seventeen luxurious, individually appointed double suites with private verandas, underfloor heating and dream bathrooms, each with bath and shower, and a dressing area.
