Description
No photograph does justice to the vast green vistas that embrace you as you wind your way up through Oribi Gorge. When you arrive at the hotel, you are in for another surprise. The friendly faces that greet you are sincere and genuinely love what they do. Originally a farmhouse on a sugarcane plantation, the main hotel building dates back to the 1890s. Driven by the Jefferys’ love for entertaining guests, the farmhouse on the edge of Oribi Gorge soon evolved into a quaint little hotel, boasting the very essence of old-world hospitality.
Situated 1.5 hours drive from Durban’s King Shaka International Airport, 11 km off the N2 near Port Shepstone and 22 km from the beach, Oribi Gorge Hotel stands guardian to one of the most phenomenal natural paradises in South Africa.
Oribi Gorge Hotel, featuring the Wild 5 extreme adventure company, offers heart-pounding adventure right on the property. Activities offered on-site include the world’s highest gorge swing (33 storeys), abseiling, a wild slide across the gorge at 160 m above the gorge floor, white water rafting and more. Delegates with a less extreme taste in adventure can choose from a huge range of fun games/activities professionally presented by experts in the field of team building.
