Mogi Boutique Hotel

Balconies trace three sides of the hotel, offering plenty of elevated outdoor space to relax. The dining room is surrounded by glass and, like everything else, echoes a clean minimalist style. Highly rated breakfasts are often served outside on the terrace or on the ground floor by the pool. The garden has the authenticity of a wild space with enormous granite boulders, indigenous trees and all the attendant birdlife. The swimming pool sits on a stamp of paved ground and seems to be surrounded by jungle.

Rooms are modern and smart, designed with top-tier comfort in mind. They either overlook the Sheba's Breast Mountain or peer toward the Valley of Heaven through large sliding glass doors that lead to private balconies. Extra-length king-sized beds and quality cotton linens ensure a royal night sleep and the adjoining lounge with fold-out sofa-bed means room for little ones if you're travelling en famille. Air-con, wifi, and a small kitchenette complete the convenient package.

The region offers a number of outdoor activities from hiking and cycling to exploring the small but picturesque Mantenga Nature Reserve. Try a walk to the waterfalls, scout the forests for birds of paradise, or enjoy a secluded picnic. You may also like to pay a visit to the cultural village. Here, a collection of structures in the authentic family homestead display traditional artefacts and items, illustrating the various aspects of ancient Swazi life.
