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 Hütte mit Blick aufs Tal von der Terasse. Beim Betreten der Hütte Blick auf ein wunderbares Doppelbett, hübsch dekoriert. Qualität des Essens mittelmäßig, aber die Aussicht vom Restaurant auf den See hat alles wett gemacht. Tisch direkt am Geländer 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.

Friendly staff. Loved the beehive accommodation. Good to be around the animals and birds. Lovely birdsong. Almost surreal at times.

Atypique, reposant et 100%nature.

Cadre exceptionnel. Personnel très 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. Accès 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 søen og et godt menukort. Faciliteter kunne opgraderes f.eks med liggestole ved poolområdet.

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.
