Lovely stay with friendly staff, clean room, and delicious spread of breakfast buffet.
Pros:

Great location, providing a quiet and serene environment surrounded by beautiful mountains and nature.

Cons:

The off-road to access the property was not in a good state and not suitable for small cars, e.g. sedans.

Good for a stopover in Eswatini, excellent location in beautiful Ezulwini Valley
Pros:

Beautiful location, fantastic view from the restaurant terrace, friendly staff, excellent breakfast! The rooms have everything you need, but not more.

Cons:

Standard rooms a little on the basic side, no view from the room (because of dense vegetation).

Gute Unterkunft mit Potential für mehr
Pros:

Ruhige Lage - gutes und reichhaltiges Frühstück.

Cons:

Leider gab es keine Hilfe mit den Koffern und der Weg vom Parkplatz ist recht weit und die Koffer müssen getragen werden.

Keine Moskitonetze über den Betten.

Pros:

Die Aussicht war traumhaft, sowohl vom Zimmer als auch vom Restaurant. Das Frühstück wie auch das Restaurant waren gut.

Cons:

Die Zufahrt ist nicht so gut, wir folgten erst dem Navi und Beschilderung um zu einer extrem ausgewaschen gravel Road zu kommen, die wor nicht passieren konnten. Es gab eine andere Strecke, die sehr holprig aber okay war. Eine Info vorab wäre hilfreich gewesen
