From $30 /person
An unforgettable stay in a historic house that is cosy and characterful
Experience a piece of Eswatini history at Reilly's Rock Hilltop Lodge, set in a historic house perched high atop Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary in the Ezulwini Valley.

Located a short distance from the eLudzidzini Palace, Reilly’s Rock Hilltop Lodge has many activities on offer for travellers looking to immerse themselves in the history of Eswatini, as well as bird watching, game viewing, horse-back safaris and nature walks to enjoy.
