Situated in Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary
Historical, colonial, luxurious, elegant and personal, Reillys Rock Hilltop Lodge is the ultimate destination in Swaziland. This exclusive retreat is situated on the Mlilwane Hill, within the Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary, against the back drop of Nyonyane Mountain (Execution Rock) and with commanding views of game-studded plains and the Ezulwini and Malkerns Valleys below.
The atmosphere is one of peace and tranquillity, with an almost spiritual link to years gone by. The original stone house was built at the turn of the century in true colonial style, and the necessary additions have been made in keeping of this style.
A unique combination of stone and hardwood create the sense of solidarity, while the very tasteful interiors offer an air of elegance and romance.
At Reillys Rock our guests receive personal attention from our very friendly Swazi staff and the cuisine is assured to tickle the fancy of the most sensitive pallet!
If relaxation, rest and regeneration is what you need, Reillys Rock is the place to go! Within the gardens you will find numerous secluded spots ideal for that sought after moment of solitude, thought or just quite reading, while nature goes about its harmonious way around you.
Each of the six exquisitely furnished rooms (five doubles and one twin) has been decorated individually within the overall colonial theme. The communal dining and lounge areas are equally inviting, and breakfast on the verandah is a great start to the day.
Activities such as Land Rover tours, horse riding, mountain biking, guided and self-guided walks, white water rafting and sight seeing can be arranged for the adventurous guest.
Reillys Rock is an ideal venue for the corporate getaway with a conference facility accommodating up to 60 people, away from the hustle and bustle, in a setting conducive to decision making and future planning - it is, after all, the place where the dream of Swazi Nature conservation was born!
Reillys Rock occupies a commanding position high above the Ezulwini Valley from where guests can enjoy breathtaking views of the valley and the herds of wildebeest, impala, zebra and blesbuck in the plains below.
For big game enthusiasts, day trips to Mkhaya Game Reserve and Hlane Royal National Park can be arranged from Reillys Rock. Both of these parks are less than 90 minutes drive from Mlilwane and offer intimate encounters with game such as black and white rhino, elephant, giraffe, buffalo and lion.

Very nice, quiet and peaceful place. The bungalow was perfect for our family (two adults and two teens). Staff was very kind. We had a pleasant dinner around the fire and we enjoyed the breakfast as well with a nice view over the valley.

The facility is charming, the service from the people just wonderful, the food excellent, the sleeping rooms and sitting rooms quaint and adequte. The only negative is the fact that you have to drive 5+km on rough dirt roads to get in and out. Perhaps cannot be avoided, given the hilltop wilderness location.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay enormously, Ruth and Fortunate were delightful people who conducted their job with professionalism and a great sense of humour. We would certainly stay again and recommend Reilly's Rock to others. Thanks for making a great experience.
