Set in a beautiful rural village in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa, Qunu Heritage Home is surrounded by picturesque landscapes and green rolling hills. The village's tranquil setting and simple lifestyle provide a glimpse into the traditional rural communities of the country. Immerse yourself in our retreat and cultural activities like nature walks, permaculture, upcycling crafts and many more. Qunu holds a special place in the hearts of many South Africans and people around the world as the place where the beloved leader of South Africa's struggle for equality and freedom, Nelson Mandela spent much of his formative years and where he found rest in his final days. Qunu is also home to the Nelson Mandela Museum, which was established to honor the life and legacy of Nelson Mandela. The museum showcases artifacts, photographs, and documents related to Mandela's life and the struggle against apartheid. It serves as a memorial site and a place of reflection on Mandela's contribution to South Africa and the world. Qunu represents the rural way of life in South Africa, characterized by farming, cattle herding, and traditional practices.
