Mateka Accommodation

Tucked into the gentle highland landscapes of the Berea District, Matheka (often spelled Mateka) is a small, quietly atmospheric rural town that offers a glimpse of everyday Basotho life far from the bustle of Maseru. Surrounded by patchwork fields, sandstone outcrops and rolling hills, the settlement feels deeply rooted in tradition: rondavel homesteads cluster along winding tracks, children walk to school in the crisp mountain air, and villagers tend livestock on the slopes that frame the horizon. Though modest in size, Matheka is an inviting stop for travellers exploring the region, particularly those heading towards nearby heritage attractions such as the Ha Kome Caves. Its charm lies in its simplicity, warm greetings from locals, views that stretch into the blue-tinged highlands, and an unhurried rhythm that reflects the enduring pastoral heart of Lesotho.
