I wasn't sure about the hotel at first as there were a couple of coaches parked in the car park. Nevertheless, there is plenty to like about the hotel. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped, and the view from the restaurant is awesome. In addition, the location is perfect, just near the foot of a mountain for an early hike,... More

We spent two nights at Mantenga (one in a King Solomon room and the other in an Execution Rock chalet). The chalets seem a little older and slightly smaller but I highly recommend them for the setting - lush foilage filled with monkeys and a balcony with table, chairs and a great view of Execution Rock. The restaurant & staff... More

Mantenga could be absolutely fabulous if the rooms were completely refurbished! The rooms are very small, old and tired, this can be changed to make the most of the fabulous setting, friendly people and lovely food. I was there with a large group of elderly people, one handicapped and in a wheelchair. The terrain does not cater for this market.... More

We've been here for 2 nights. The Rooms were ok, my safe didn't work, they changed them quiet fast. The staff ist very friendly. Breakfast and restaurant are great. Around the corner you'll find swazi trails. They offer great adventures. Only one thing we missed ... a fridge would be nice.

Despite a small hiccup with our pre-paid reservation not initially being found in the system, this is a great hotel with friendly staff in a lush, green, peaceful location. The rock view room was clean, with everything you could need. Delicious food at the restaurant as well.

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Mantenga Lodge in December 2012. The lodge itself is relatively modest, but perfectly clean and comfortable. The setting is amazing, the food is great and the people are incredibly friendly. We fell in love with Swaziland on this trip and will no doubt return many times.

Our room at Mantenga Lodge offered great views onto the mountains. The room was clean and had a comfortable bed, however it all looked a bit 80ies. The bathroom was a bit too small for my taste, but ok for one night. Which we liked most was the setting: The restaurant has a wonderful terrace which has a very nice... More

During our 4 week honeymoon travel throughout southern Africa, we had the fortune of staying three nights at Mantenga Lodge. We booked the place based on VERY affordable pricing, combined with good reviews on the booking site (hotels.com). We chose to upgrade from the lowest priced alternative to a more "expensive" choice, to get a twin bed (this was our... More
