Pros:

Foresters Arms is a real gem. Its has a special charm and I loved every minute of my one night stay there.
I was very touched to see my car had been washed just before I left.
This is your best choice in this area.

A nice gem
Pros:

The hotel lives up to its reputation. Apart from the beautiful garden, the food was definitely given a thumb up. They supply several homemade items everyday including bread and jam. All of them were very fresh. Breakfast was generous. The four-course dinners were satisfying in terms of taste and creativity. Two choices are available for starter and desert and four for main course and a guest can order two for each course. The portion is not very big so people like me can have both to satisfy curiosity. The room we stayed for our first night is relatively dated and simple yet clean. We moved to another room next day whose toilet is equipped with more modern amenities including a bath. The hotel staff including the hostesses and housekeepers were cheerful and did their jobs very well. Our car was washed complimentarily and it was very much a pleasant surprise. We notice many people stay there for one or two nights, but our view is people can easily spend a longer there and we did eventually -- it had not been our plan. :) Highly recommended.

Paradise in Swaziland
Pros:

One would not expect such a hotel after the drive over pothole-ridden streets and having seen the extremely simple living conditions all around. Surrounded by a secure fence, there is an island of splendor with great food, local staff, and very international clientele. The food is excellent; the table was always the same and the waiter by name assigned for breakfast and dinner. It’s a happy and beautiful place. Imagine this: you wake up and your car has been secretly washed by good spirits early in the morning, and so it goes on and on. Highly recommended!

A Hotel to come back again
Pros:

Excellent (international) cuisin with exciting cookings. Clean, large rooms. Some rooms with own chimney (the chimney was ready prepared to start firing with a single match). The hotel is located in the woods, no noise - just recreation.

Pros:

Great room, lovely night, excellent breakfast, friendly and helpful staff. Nice relaxed start to the following day.

I would definitely stay here again.

Reception / Manageress very helpful, especially with ongoing directions.

Didn't realise that Manzinin was the province and not the location, so went to the wrong area, took a while sorting it out in-situ but got there in the end. Make sure you do your research and preparation properly before setting off, my fault I failed to do this.

A GREAT STOP OVER
Pros:

We spent a night here on our way further north, it is a lovely location, and most certainly had the best table we experienced anywhere in Swaziland. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would recommend it anytime.
