This was our second stay, it had been 9 years but it was still as lovely as we remembered. It’s old world ambiance in a fabulous setting.
The rooms a lovely and waking up and sitting on the veranda set the day to a perfect start. The grounds is like walking around in a magic garden, Red and blue Duikers, Steinbucks and turtles roaming around and plethora of birds dashing around.
Lizzy and Kani take such good care of the guests and they were equally professional and personal as they were 9 years ago.
We will definitely be back again.

Magical spot in Eswatini 

Located on top of a hill in a Nature Reserve, surrounded by trees, flowers and huge ferns, very nice staff, lovely breakfast on the terrace and dinner buffet close to a warm fireplace - for us it was the perfect stay! 

Wunderful quiet Lodge in an ancient colonial house

The park is great for walks or bike rides. The Lodge is run by lovely ladies that are super welcoming and cheerful. Dinner at campfire with plenty of choices at the buffet.
The old, historic, building is well maintained.
We stayed at the down gran’s house and could join for dinner and breakfast at hilltop. 

Very friendly, great view, lovely atmosphere

My family and I stayed at Down Grans Cottage and it was absolutely awesome. Quiet, out of the way and absolutely beautiful. The house is quaint and the braai area is perfect. I would happily go back with friends and enjoy a week there as the game viewing is good and it is great that you can even go out on a run.

Down Gran is a Gem

We love Reilly's Rock and have been here frequently. It's a very special place and we never miss an opportunity to stay here when we go to Swaziland.
We also had the opportunity of staying at Red Tiger Lodge at Mkaya and were privileged to be hosted by Ted Reilly. We wish you every success with your new venture.

Our happy place

My husband & I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves while  staying at Riley's Rock Hilltop Lodge.  The service, atmosphere and food were amazing. Having our dinner served by the fire while listening to bush-babies was especially memorable.   We hope to return and highly recommend it to anyone wanting a wonderful getaway.

Overnight at  Reilly's Rock

WE spent a night with a group of customers in Reilly´s Hilltop lodge hidden in a lush forest in the middle of the natural park. You can drive your vehicle all the way to the lodge under the supervision of the local wildlife grassing couple meters from your path. The staff was amazing and we had an open air barbeque dinner with fire and it was fantastic. Overall 5 stars stay. The history of the place is also amazing.

Wonderful haven of peace

This is a great place to stay when you visit Eswatini. It’s located in a nature reserve, on a hill with beatifull views. The garden is magical! See the little deers walking close when you enjoy your terrace. You can walk around in the tropical gardens. Dinner is served around the fire outside. The rooms are decorated in a luxury colonial style. Food and wines are very good, and home cooked. We have been here several times, and the staff is very friendly and personal. It is a good stop for a few days between StLucia and Kruger parc. 

Magical stay in Eswatini!

A wonderful stay in a traditional colonial house. A very warm welcome and we enjoyed good food made even more warm by the braii! The views were excellent as were seeing the Bush babies and other animals.

Wonderful stay

A charming stay in this cool, lofty, former colonial house in Esawatini (formerly Swaziland).  We were greeted warmly by the resident staff Ruth and colleagues and given a quick tour. They did everything they could to make us feel at home.  Built in the 1900s for the eponymous Mick Reilly, whose larger than life exploits you can read about, it was a civilised pleasure after several days in and around Kruger. There are just 6 rooms and we got to know our fellow  guests well over dinner. The second night's dinner was outside around a log fire, magical.  Breakfast was lovely too.  Just one point, the staff wear rubber booties and leather hats for a reason.. up there in the mountains,  it has its own microclimate and can be wet. Still , sitting out on the veranda, watching the rain drip on the beautiful plants in the botanical garden and the duikers (Africa's smallest mammals) delicately eating was a memory to treasure.
