Swaziland is not a familiar place for most travellers and indeed not Phophonyane. A small Lodge hidden in the lush forest with beautiful walking trails and peaceful tranquility. Do not go there if you thrive in luxury hotels. Here you find the closeness to the nature, particularly if staying in one of the safari tents. You may even spot bushbabies... More

Had a wonderful two nights over there, tucked cozily in our Swazi hut. Nature is breathtaking, the place is very relaxing... We were looked after by the delightful Lomanesi and couldn't get enough stories from the owner Rod. If you go there, ask the ranger to take you hiking, the surrounding mountains are majestic... The only regret was we couldn't... More

Phophonyane Falls Lodge is hidden away 3miles or so into dry rain forest along a dirt road.The outlook of the lodge across lawns is onto plains below or their own land on which are five or so different walking trails up to the hills, down to the falls or a mixture of interweaving tracks. The lodge is really lovely decorated... More

Swaziland has some amazing scenery, not least of which is the breathtaking scenery on the drive from the border by the Kruger's Melanzane Gate through Jeffes Reef to Piggs Peak. We saw it in 2010 and made a tryst to revisit in 2012, I had noted a sign for Phophonyanye Falls and booked in for February 2012. We were not... More

Ah, where to begin writing something wonderful about this special place? Perhaps at the start? Where a long windy road stretches out of the unsightly forestry area of the Piggs Peak environs into the Phophonyane Eco terrain? Drive slowly, you might just hit a lemon-sorbet coloured butterfly or spot an olive sunbird in the thick vegetation. And soon you will... More

Not only is the property beautiful and well kept, the views spectacular, the food beyond delicious, the staff is the most helpful and caring we've ever encountered. The office manager Thato came in on her own time in the evening to help us contact the airlines about our delayed (five days at that point) luggage. Nessie would watch to make... More

A perfect destination if you want a quiet retreat in the middle of natural wonder with lots of opportunity for strenuous hikes or lounging by the pool. Delicious food in the restaurant. The service was really excellent throughout our stay, and then the staff went out of their way to track us down after we left because we forgot our... More

My boyfriend and I spent 2 nights in this magical place... there are few options for accomodation and thanks to the owner of the place which was so kind to us and friendly, we had the plessure of spending one night at this beautiful cottage, super romantic inside and outside a wooden porch. We just relaxed on the grass there... More

Our weekend in Phophonyane was truly memorable for all the right reasons. It is a hidden away gem and certainly worth the little trek off the beaten track. Nature is all around and the buildings are beautifully blended into the natural landscape. We loved our cottage (2) with its 360 forest view from the upstairs bedroom and we also loved... More

My husband and I stayed at Phophonyane after traveling around Swaziland and staying in other parks for a week, and what a wonderful experience - the most beautiful spot in Swaziland - without a doubt! From the moment of our arrival, we were in heaven - it was a fantastic way to end our touring! We stayed in a beautiful... More
