Wide Horizons Mountain Retreat, Eswatini, Swaziland, 26KM from Malkerns

Beautiful

Clean & private

The location was quite far but exceptionally clean. The scenery is great and filled with nature and tranquility. The lawn is well managed and the surroundings are very clean.

The tennis court needs to be well maintained since it is a good facility to have.

The place was absolutely stunning. What an amazing property with the wildebeest and zebras right on the property. The staff washed my car without being asked the caretaker of the whole place is the friendliest woman enjoyed every minute I spent there.

The drive to this place is sketchy during the rainy season without having a car with four-wheel-drive. I did not have that car and I was quite very scared to be stuck. The drive included a portion where you drive through a river. And at least I did not have any cell phone reception at the gate to call the owners.

We arrived after dark, driving up a rough mountain road through small villages and honestly weren’t sure what to expect. That’s why the place felt like such a surprise - at the top we found a beautifully maintained property with lush greenery and stunning cottages. The staff were warm and welcoming, gave us a quick tour and made us feel at home right away. The views from the mountain are incredible. The cottages themselves (we've occupied all 3 of them) are thoughtfully designed, stylish, and very comfortable. You can tell a lot of care went into the details. The property is large, with plenty of space to explore, including hiking and running trails right outside your door. Overall, a genuinely special place that completely exceeded our expectations.

The place is self-catering and the nearest shop/restaurant is an hour drive away. You need to plan wisely. Also, the hiking/running instructions were a bit too general, I went on a summit run in the morning and got lost. PDF is not the best instrument for navigation. That would be great if you could add GPX files with all the hikes to the web site, it would help a lot!
