Indigo Fields Farm House

NO. 3 OF 17 B&BS/INNS, NOTTINGHAM ROAD

‘ You ladies need another bottle of bubbly?’ hands-on owner Jennifer Hindle asks as we pass a group of women having breakfast in the cellar. Clearly, this is no ordinary spa. Jennifer explains that every meal is served in a different venue; similarly so the treatments, with guests seamlessly rotated between different bomas dotted in the tangled bush beyond. The result is a private and highly personalised pampering experience. The gardens are lush and filled with nooks – I slip past a couple lounging by the fountain; they look glowing. It’s not just the

guests: the staff are radiant, too. It’s a magic recipe, empowering local women and replenishing the weary. Indigo Fields is listed on TripAdvisor as a B&B but this it is not – it’s a spa that comes with wonderful rooms and five-star service. ROOM TIP You can’t really go wrong with any of the six suites, though I liked Safari best. The four-bedroom Twickle Cottage is popular with book clubbers. COST Prices vary depending on the spa package; the midweek special is R1 700 pp sharing full board, including a 90-minute treatment. CONTACT indigofields.co.za
