    The cottage is beautiful, well equipped and with a marvellous location and views in the heart of Eswatini. I've stayed in the Mlilwani reserve before, or in other parks and reserves in the area for hiking but this cottage is one of the best...

    Super vriendelijk gastvrouwen die je verblijf tot een mooie ervaring maken. Diner en ontbijt bij Hilltop te krijgen als je niet zelf wilt koken. Gezellig buffet met de andere gasten rondom een kampvuur.

Property information

Down Gran's was originally the Cook's cottage, then home to Ted Reilly's mother-in-law, known to the grandchildren as "Down Gran" - she lived further down the hill from "Up Gran"! This tranquil, private self-catering cottage is the perfect retreat for those looking to immerse in nature, or just looking for a comfortable homely place from which explore Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary, the surrounding Ezulwini Valley & Swaziland in general.
