Ah, where to begin writing something wonderful about this special place? Perhaps at the start? Where a long windy road stretches out of the unsightly forestry area of the Piggs Peak environs into the Phophonyane Eco terrain? Drive slowly, you might just hit a lemon-sorbet coloured butterfly or spot an olive sunbird in the thick vegetation. And soon you will... More

Not only is the property beautiful and well kept, the views spectacular, the food beyond delicious, the staff is the most helpful and caring we've ever encountered. The office manager Thato came in on her own time in the evening to help us contact the airlines about our delayed (five days at that point) luggage. Nessie would watch to make... More

A perfect destination if you want a quiet retreat in the middle of natural wonder with lots of opportunity for strenuous hikes or lounging by the pool. Delicious food in the restaurant. The service was really excellent throughout our stay, and then the staff went out of their way to track us down after we left because we forgot our... More

My boyfriend and I spent 2 nights in this magical place... there are few options for accomodation and thanks to the owner of the place which was so kind to us and friendly, we had the plessure of spending one night at this beautiful cottage, super romantic inside and outside a wooden porch. We just relaxed on the grass there... More

Our weekend in Phophonyane was truly memorable for all the right reasons. It is a hidden away gem and certainly worth the little trek off the beaten track. Nature is all around and the buildings are beautifully blended into the natural landscape. We loved our cottage (2) with its 360 forest view from the upstairs bedroom and we also loved... More

My husband and I stayed at Phophonyane after traveling around Swaziland and staying in other parks for a week, and what a wonderful experience - the most beautiful spot in Swaziland - without a doubt! From the moment of our arrival, we were in heaven - it was a fantastic way to end our touring! We stayed in a beautiful... More

I stayed at Phophonyane Falls Lodge almost a year ago and I am still recommending and telling friends about my wonderful stay there! It was very memorable and certainly stands out from the typical places. It was a surprise holiday destination which I had booked for my boyfriend and I consequently I was quite anxious that it would be as... More

The lodge is nestled on a hilltop overlooking a valley, which makes for breathtaking views. We stayed in a beehive, an impressive half-dome structure, all built using local materials but not lacking in comfort in any aspect. It felt very private as well as it was located on a lower plateau at the far end of the lodge, despite being... More

Me and wife just back from a week or so in Kruger, Mozambique and Swaziland, we stayed at Phophonyane for our last night before heading back to Pretoria. WHAT A FANTASTIC PLACE! We found it very hard to leave and will be back whenever we are in the region. Amazingly beautiful accommodation (the view from Beehive No2 is extraordinary), fab... More
