Lesotho’s wild lily

Mokhabebe is a private family residence in Lower Thetsane, one of Maseru’s calmest neighbourhoods, opened to families, business and leisure travellers who value safety, comfort and belonging.

This is not a hotel. We are a young family, well travelled, and we know the quiet relief of arriving somewhere new and finding a place that feels safe, familiar and kind. What we offer is one of our own homes, opened entirely to you. You are not a guest in a lobby. You are family in a home.

Ha Maama

My husband’s origin, and the valley of our farm. Double bed and an en-suite bathroom. The valley holds our family farm: 63 hectares, fully off grid on a solar plant; more than 6,800 m² of shade nets and a greenhouse growing 450,000 or more seedlings each 30-day cycle; 200 beehives and free-range Cornish hens; a farm restaurant seating 600, a chapel and a farm-style wedding venue. Fresh honey and eggs from Ha Maama are on your table, at no cost.

Ha Molapo

Where my wife was born and raised, nurtured by her grandmother and her uncles and aunts. When I asked for her hand, my father, my uncle and I travelled there and were received so cordially. Two single beds, sharing the main bathroom.

Ha Mafa

Where my husband’s mother was born. She lost her parents young; her older brother took her in, raised her and schooled her until she married. Double bed and a cot. Three homes, one family, now opened to yours.

The garden and the farm

The garden is laden through the seasons. Mint, thyme, rosemary, basil, chives, peppers, chillies, radishes, peas, sweet corn in season, and fresh flowers are yours to pick at no charge.

Farming Forward is an invitation, never a charge. A guest gift of $13.40 is matched, gift for gift, and $26.80 goes into the soil. Harvest returns as vegetables and flowers during the stay. What the house does not need is given to orphanages nearby. Reports go up each quarter at mokhabebe.com.
