Air conditions not working. All old and not maintained. Changed room twice and at the end they had to put a noisy heater. Also rooms are not cleaned properly. The ashtray in the room wasn’t cleaned from the previous stay and in another room a mouse jumped out of the air condition. Big ants are everywhere.

Good choice
The views were amazing and the lodge is central to other places which provide activities (e.g Mantenga Nature Reserve and the craft market). During my stay, we experienced poor WiFi network. The breakfast menu is very limited, will probably not be suitable for vegetarians or vegans. The staff is very hospitable and friendly, showed care and respect. The lodge in and of itself is a beauty and the botanicals that surround the lodge are a serenity for anyone who finds pleasure in nature. The beds were comfortable and the TV has a USB port, which came in handy when the channels were not viewing anything interesting.

The view is exquisite from the deck & restaurant. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Rooms are very neat and staff are trustworthy - I'd left some money on my nightstand unintentionally in the morning, and when I got returned to my room that night, every cent was packed neatly in a pile on my table, so well done to the cleaning staff. Bathrooms, showers especially could do with a bit of an upgrade. Rooms could do with another electricity plug socket, and internet is very slow. Overall, very nice and neat accommodation and excellent value for money. The food is excellent, and breakfasts are a real feast. The views are worth every cent, and any shortcomings (rooms wise) of this resort are more than compensated by all other positive aspects. The staff are excellent and very helpful in every respect. Mantenga Lodge is by far my favorite resort in Ezulwini, Swazilad. Well done to the owners, they are very hands-on people who run a respectful and professional business. Cheers, and see you again soon. Nick

Mantenga Lodge
We loved Mantenga lodge. The staff are super friendly and very helpful. The location is spot on if you want to shop for local crafts. We went to the candle making shop which was great, house on fire had a super lunch there, had lunch at Mantenga Craft Centre very good. Our dinners and Mantenga lodge were delicious, service great, loved our breakfasts. Just a super little hotel to stay at!!! Will be back. Only downside is the WIFI is very slow, but as we are in the mountains it is understandable.

Comfortable room, very clean in a great setting.
Enjoyed my short stay at this establishment. Always receive good service. The breakfast is a bit limited though and can definitely be improved on. The WIFI was also not very good especially if you trying to log on with a laptop and a cell phone.
