Foresters Arms Hotel and Restaurant

The Foresters Arms Hotel is a country-style hotel with character. Situated in the mountainous highlands of Swaziland, amidst forested surroundings, it is only 27km from the capital, Mbabane (all on tarred roads).

Accommodation is provided in 30 bedrooms, arranged around the swimming pool and set in the colourful gardens that are a favourite haunt for sunbirds and paradise flycatchers. Each room has an en-suite bathroom, telephone and television. In the morning, wake up a cup of tea or coffee served to your bedroom. Then wander through to the dining room for breakfast. Lunch is served on the terrace or next to a roaring log fire in cold weather.

The restaurant is open all day, every day. Foresters is renown for its Sunday buffets / barbecue lunches, which include 160 different dishes to choose from, and for dinner there is a nine-course meal that changes daily. Foresters Arms Hotel specialises in the freshest ingredients cooked and served with pride, from home-baked breads to Swazi fillets of pork and beef, and fresh vegetables from a nearby farm.

Activities available include tennis, squash, walking, horse riding, and mountain biking. There is also a fitness centre and sauna. Golfers can play a round or two on the adjoining Usutu Golf Course, and for fishermen the various dams in the Usutu forest are stocked with trout and bass.
