Down Gran's was originally the Cook's cottage, then home to Ted Reilly's mother-in-law, known to the grandchildren as "Down Gran" - she lived further down the hill from "Up Gran"! This tranquil, private self-catering cottage is the perfect retreat for those looking to immerse in nature, or just looking for a comfortable homely place from which explore Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary, the surrounding Ezulwini Valley & Swaziland in general.
