Foresters Arms, Mhlambanyatsi

Foresters Arms is a country hotel dating from the colonial era, set in extensive gardens of native flora in the pine-forested highlands around Mhlambanyatsi, about 18 km south-west of Mbabane. It describes itself as "a traditional haven of comfort and a place of great character and charm," and carries the highest review count of any Eswatini stay found in this research: 523 reviews on Google, rated 4.5 out of 5.

Facilities include a restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, terrace dining, a heated swimming pool, a conference hall for up to 40 delegates, and horse riding around the grounds. The hotel markets itself as sitting in a malaria-free part of the country, a detail worth knowing for travellers weighing it against Eswatini's lowveld properties such as those at Hlane or Mkhaya.
