Incredible location with beautiful views. Very peaceful environment. We drove from Hazyview and we stayed 2 nights at the lodge. We did the village walk with our 4 year old and we really enjoyed and found it really interesting. I think this is a great place to visit for people who come from the panorama route, definitely recommend it

A lovely peaceful spot, wonderful waterfalls, very good food and lovely staff. Love the fact that while enjoying all of the above, you are also supporting the ecolodge and helping protect the environment. Full recommend it.

The ecolodge is set in the hills near Pigg's Peak, with a lovely view over the surrounding country. It's on the rustic rather than luxurious side, which is exactly what we wanted. It's very quiet and peaceful and the staff are all absolutely fantastic. The drive up to the lodge is on a logging track so proceed with caution, as it's not kind on the suspension of smaller cars, but still perfectly accessible all the same. There are shorter and longer walks in and around the nature reserve that can be undertaken from the lodge itself, and we spotted Red Duiker in among the trees close to the lodge early one morning. The falls themselves are lovely, but were not at their full extent when we stayed there. The location is in the north east of Swaziland so bear this in mind, as it's a 90 minute drive to the main attractions in the valley the drive is incredibly scenic, but be aware that mist can sometimes descend over the mountain road, making visibility very poor in some sections. There is a lowveld alternative route that can be taken if the weather is bad. The town of Pigg's Peak itself is small but has a supermarket, petrol stations and various shops to let you pick up any supplies you need.

The area is beautiful, in the heart of a nature reserve which had decent hiking trails and views. The staff however, could use a complete overhaul. They are very unfriendly, and asking for anything is like pulling out a tooth. Their attitudes leave a lot to be desired. The food was rather shocking for an establishment of this nature, and despite having a menu for breakfast, you'd be hard pressed to get even half of the items on there. As for free wifi, don't hold your breath. It is only available at the restaurant and with dodgy reception. For the price paid, this place is regrettably avoidable

Very nice stay- 2 nights enough on our way to Maputo from Joburg. Nice walks and falls. Nice swimming pool But be carrefull wioth your invoice! What we did not like: we were invoiced at the end of our stay: 5360 R for 2 nights acomodation less 50% of prepayment at Booking rate by Neamsile Simelane at receptionthough we had paid everything at a lower rate: 4861 R via booking. After prooving we had pay 100% of our stay we only had to pay for meals and beverages. Be carefull!

Friendly, helpful staff. Most wonderful setting - stayed in a luxury tent right on river edge. Walks well signposted and maintained - we really enjoyed these and the falls were lovely. Food was excellent and enjoyed the Swazi traditional dishes. Stayed two nights and would have liked to stay longer to do more of the walks.

Die Unterkunft ist ein kleines Paradies mitten in der Natur. Wir haben im Beehive 2 übernachtet was ein echtes Highlight in unserem Urlaub war. Wer das besondere sucht ist hier richtig aufgehoben. Und nicht zu vergessen das nette Team und das gute Essen muss natürlich auch noch erwähnt werden. Vielen Dank für alles! Wir kommen gerne wieder! Bis bald in Swasiland :-)

Świetne miejsce, położone w środku lasu (prywatnego Parku Narodowego), wodospad tuż obok. W okolicy są dobrze oznakowane różnej trudności ścieżki trekkingowe (w sumie ok. 10-12 km). Noclegi w luksusowych namiotach lub lodgach. Idealne feng-shui, pomimo że w pobliżu są inne namioty to w swoim namiocie lub na tarasie czujesz się jakby nikogo nie było w okolicy. Dobra restauracja (polecam pstrąga tęczowego) - śniadania (w cenie), obiady i kolacje. Jest też basen, a także basen naturalny przy wodospadzie. Internet nie jest zbyt szybki i dostepny tylko w okolicy recepcji i restauracji, ale nie po internet się tutaj przyjeżdża. Noc, za oknem szum wodospadu, lasu, nocnych ptaków i owadów - bezcenny. Aha, i nie wiem jak to zostało zorganizowane, ale moja największa obawa - owady w namiocie lub komary (w namiocie i okolicy), praktycznie nie przeszkadzały (komarów nie widziałem). Miły właściciel, który może doradzić co zobaczyć w okolicy. Polecam to miejsce bardzo!
