Perched on the edge of a mountain with breathtaking views across a scenic valley to the great Sibebe Rock, the largest granite outcrop in the world and home to the rare black eagle. Ematjeni, “on the rocks”, lives up to its name.

The perfect stopover between Kruger Park and KwaZulu-Natal, Ematjeni offers both tranquillity and adventure in abundance. Experience white water rafting, 4×4 trails, horse riding, an Aerial Canopy Tour and golf nearby. The popular Swazi candle factory, Ngwenya Glass, House on Fire Theatre, and various wildlife sanctuaries are within easy reach.

The impressive stone house offers classic rooms leading onto a balcony with sweeping views, Dstv and WiFi. Personal, friendly service from owners and staff, lavish country breakfasts, with dinner and indulgent massages by prior arrangement. A two night stay is highly recommended to take advantage of all that is on offer, as well as find some time to relax between long journeys.
