Riad in Shiselweni

"Yes it was"

"The hotel is the nicest option in Manzini, with very nice staff. However, I felt the room rates were over-priced."

"fridge was leaking and air conditioner was faulty it could not warm the room"

"Views are spectacular and staff are v nice (although poorly trained). Sadly a fire gutted most of the buildings and owners seem to have lost heart/budget leaving burned debri, piles of broken bottles etc lyng in the shells of buildings. Looks nothing like the pictures.There are 2 v nice separate chalets so if you are offered one and can ignore the burned buildings it could be fine.Roads are as bad as stated -impossible without a 4x4 and adbertised rock pool is very muddy - we couldn'ts swim in it (altho we normally enjoy swimming in natural pools, rivers etc) .Sad and I hope the owners can rebuild it as it is a beautiful location.

"We had a lovely time staying at Ester’s lodge. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend "
