It's far from flash, but this mellow place is the most obvious choice if funds are short, with an assortment of 10- to 12-bed dorms, a self-catering kitchen, a chill-out lounge with TV and a small pool in the garden. Those needing privacy can opt for the plain but restful private rooms in a separate building. Breakfast costs E55.
Swazi Trails, the lodge's sister company and local adventure-activity operator, is just across the road. The nearest supermarket is a 10-minute stroll away.
