As
a
Culinary
Institute
of
America
graduate
with
25
years
of
experience
and
a
zest
for
youthful,
fun,
and
zippy
travel
experiences,
Victoria
House
in
Ficksburg,
South
Africa,
was
an
absolute
gem!
Stepping
foot
into
this
modern,
pristine
estate
felt
like
a
dream—imagine
the
best
night's
sleep
on
an
excellent
bed
draped
in
crisp
white
linen
and
pillows
that
cocooned
you
in
comfort.
The
scenic
landscape
adorned
with
rock
walls,
a
lush
forest
of
trees,
and
tranquil
fountains
was
a
sight
to
behold.
Add
to
that
the
in-ground
tiled
pool,
off-street
gated
parking,
and
rock-walled
grounds—all
contributing
to
an
enchanting
stay.
Oh,
and
let's
not
forget
the
full
bar
and
culinary
treats
that
just
elevated
the
entire
experience.
What
sets
Victoria
House
apart,
beyond
its
aesthetics,
is
the
owners'
profound
knowledge
of
the
area.
Their
guidance
not
only
led
me
to
thrilling
mountain
biking
trails
but
also
facilitated
an
exploration
of
the
breathtaking
Lesotho,
all
while
ensuring
seamless
airport
transportation.
The
gardens
brimming
with
citrus
trees
and
aromatic
herbs
were
a
source
of
intrigue.
Discovering
that
the
owners
are
professional
chefs
themselves—humble
and
gracious
individuals—added
a
unique
charm.
The
impromptu
culinary
escapade
in
their
professional
kitchen,
firing
up
pizza
ovens,
marinating
steaks,
and
reveling
in
the
aromas
of
garlic
and
herbs
tossed
in
wooden
bowls,
was
an
absolute
delight.
Victoria
House
isn't
just
a
place
to
stay;
it's
an
experience
curated
by
passionate
hosts
who
effortlessly
blend
comfort,
adventure,
and
culinary
indulgence.
A
must-visit
for
those
seeking
a
vibrant
and
enriching
getaway!
