There is a better shorter faster route

Please give more info, gps co-ordinates or directions, and recent road conditions if you can

Hi Gerhard
Do you maybe have any details for Marula Chalets? We normally stay over in Hlane Game reserve in Swaziland but waited too late this year and now they're full ...
I tow a small ski-boat down so access to the lodge also needs to be reasonable.
Any details (website, pic's etc)will be appreciated.

Barman,
the number I have is for Chris, but Karen runs the chalet bookings, say Gerhard refered you, thinks price is R700 chalets for 2 adults and 2 kids, but think it is R175 per bed you can use??
phone after 5, as the number is for Chris and he is not always close to bookings
PM me if you need more info .... directions ...about 28 km from both Namaacha and Goba, but have not been there, the 10th will be my 1st

[GerhardHough]

oops, the number 00 258 847075380

Thanks Gerhard
