Don't arrive without a car

It is a nice place, and a great experience staying in traditional beehives. However, there are a couple of flaws. First, it is set up only for drivers. I found my way here by public transport. If you want to do anything outside the park, you are on your own, and the staff will absolutely not help you in any way. Second, the Hotels.com site states very explicitly, in clear language, that high speed internet is complimentary. But they charge you for it. I argued with the staff about this, and they tried to interpret the word complimentary, which has one and only one meaning in the context that appears on the site. The staff, as polite as they were, would not budge. They said they would talk to marketing about it. I know they are only employees, but their collective reticence to do anything for me, a guest traveling solo, was kind of a downer for me. I don't regret going, as the hikes were awesome and the animals are all over the park. But don't expect this place to honor whatever you find on any online booking site.,

Tolle HĂŒtte mit Blick aufs Tal von der Terasse. Beim Betreten der HĂŒtte Blick auf ein wunderbares Doppelbett, hĂŒbsch dekoriert. QualitĂ€t des Essens mittelmĂ€ĂŸig, aber die Aussicht vom Restaurant auf den See hat alles wett gemacht. Tisch direkt am GelĂ€nder gehabt, wunderbar.

We were delighted to have a rondaval with an amazing view. Saw lots of antelope, warthogs, and interesting bird species while seated at our porch. I had wanted a cheaper and more traditional beehive rondaval, but this was so much better and way more private too. Only thing that would make it better is if windows were screened so we could leave them open for airflow at night.

Mlilwane 2 night stay

Great place to stay for family, where you can walk freely amongst some animals. Beehive rooms were comfortable and clean. Breakfast and dinner are both buffet, but plenty of choice. Pool is a good size. The only downside for us was the fact that the day visitors were very noisy and left a large amount of rubbish which of course the wild animals were eating (plastic bags, plastic food containers). Staff although cleared up later on the evening did not seem to deter this poor behaviour.

Atypique, reposant et 100%nature.

Cadre exceptionnel. Personnel trÚs accueillant. Au mileu de nul part. Des bungalows, un feu de camp, des phacocheres, des impalas en liberté et un complexe de restauration. Le logement est atypique mais dans l idée de passer un séjour nature. Nous étions en août, la température a chuté la nuit. Pas d'isolation, juste une porte en bois, et un toit en paille avec 15 cm ouverts aux 4 vents... Tout est prévu. De grosses couvertures. Par contre, beau spectacle de danses du Swaziland, un feu de camp idyllique,avec des animaux qui s y réchauffent à 2 metres. Hors du temps, mais tellement reposant. AccÚs compliqué. Arrivée de préférence le jour et assez mal indiqué.

Your website totally misrepresented the accommodation. The ‘standard twin rooms ‘ we booked were two windowless ‘beehives’ made of thatch with a very small double bed. After much argument and time spent we managed to get tow ‘cottages’ mucin like the beehives but with windows. Awful!

Vidunderlig bush-oplevelse.

Stedet oser af Bush-stemning. Dejligt afslappende stemning. Smuk natur og autentiske indkvartering. Mange muligheder for aktiviteter og afslapning ved smuk beliggende swimmingpool. Restaurant smukt beliggende med flot view over sÞen og et godt menukort. Faciliteter kunne opgraderes f.eks med liggestole ved poolomrÄdet.

A basic, clean & comfortable lodging option

Stayed 2 nights at Mlilwane in the beehvive huts which provide basic accommodation within the park. Rooms are clean and spacious but don't expect much else. While there is electricity, paid wifi is only available at reception. There is a restaurant on site overlooking a pond - it's a la carte at lunch, buffet at night. Plenty of walking trails to explore or to cycle on a rented bike. We were dissapointed only to be able to book a tour the morning of our departure and not any earlier during our stay. Might be worth contacting the park in advance to book tours so you don't miss out. A good option if you don't mind basic, but don't expect luxury safari style by any means.

Great place to explore nature

Stayed in a beehive hut and it was great. It has twin beds, toilet and shower, tea and coffee facilities, and a fan. Hotel grounds are well kept with many animals wandering around. Some nice hikes to do ranging from short and long distances. Prices for everything like bike hires and tours are expensive here. Wifi is not included and you must pay. Fire and dance show at night was a bonus and great way to end a day. I would stay again enjoy the peaceful environment to relax and explore.

Saturday in Swazi

Pretty decent and what we expected - stayed in the Beehive Village - pretty rustic but thats what we were after. The restaurant was nice and had good dinner and breakfast. Dancing show after dinner. Felt good and safe being there - liked that we parked near where our room was and behind a gate. Only bummer was that they didnt seem to have our reservation or know that we were coming - luckily we had our email to prove our reservation and they put us up, but only after a bunch of confusion and them sending us up to the wrong place way out of the way first. Eventually it sorted it out - I suppose maybe the comms are a bit rough in the Swazi.

beau petit chalet

on a été logé dans un joli petit chalet, simple et efficace, au milieu de la reserve, quelques animaux s'y promenent, c'est superbe de se reveiller et d'apercevoir des antilopes au reveil. Les pistes de la reserve ne sont pas toutes en super état, mais elle est agreable et on peut s'y promener à pied ou en velo.

Einfach und Sauber

Die Lodge ist mitten im Nationalpark. Sie ist einfach, aber sehr gepflegt und sauber. Wir hatten Die Antilopen und Warzenschweine genau vor der TĂŒr! So nah waren wir den Tieren noch nie! Das Essen ist okay. Das FrĂŒhstĂŒck ist relativ teuer fĂŒr das, was man bekommt. GrillplĂ€tze zur Selbstverpflegung sind natĂŒrlich vorhanden! Man kann tolle Wanderungen unternehmen und Radtouren machen. Reiten konnte man auch, haben wir aber nicht genutzt! Die Landschaft ist wahnsinnig schön und bestens geeignet fĂŒr Outdoor AktivitĂ€ten! Gerne wieder!

Great place for kids.

Very good place to stay, specially if you are with young kids. The animals go around all the place and it is very safe. The biggest problem was to get there, since the road is in construction.
