Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It is a beautiful facility, very quiet, very safe, and very clean. The staff is very courteous, the owner is available for any concerns and she takes care of any issue personally and in a timely manner. I like the Christian atmosphere. The phones in the room do not work, the smaller rooms have an extremely tiny bathroom/shower.

A Homely Gem

We were super excited for the trip, and after a very long drive we were greeted by the friendliest staff at reception. Bongiwe warms up the room with her friendly personality and all the staff were extremely accommodating. we used Google Maps for directions, but this takes you to someone's private property. Bongiwe gave very clear, easy to follow directions when we called for assistance. Dinner service was amazing. At times we felt there could be a little more attention, and the food took a bit long. However, when it came we all said it was certainly worth the wait. Value for money as well. We couldn't get enough of the views! Even though it was mostly overcast and rainy, the rest and relaxation was amplified by the surrounds. Very nice rooms and comfy beds; all clean and well kept. It's a great location and within good distance from anything you might need. Will definitely book again and refer others to stay here.

Comfortable and cozy lodge in Mbabane!

Very Nice to its siste hotel Mountain Inn. Had to move because the latter was full. Much more quite and cozy atmosphere at Emafini - as the the other one was overloaded with german, dutch and american tourists. Very serviceminded. Nice breakfast and restaurant for dinnner, important if you don’t have a car as this is 4 km outside the center. The friendly, elder lady (owner) does ecverything to make you feel at Home 😎!
