The Mountain Inn is run by owners Marc and Patrick Ward. Having been involved in hotel management for 40 years in Swaziland, the family has succeeded in establishing a reputation for reliability and quality, which is unequalled in the local Swaziland travel industry. This business success is mirrored by their involvement in a myriad of local community structures, social welfare and business development programmes. As a former Senator in the Swazi Parliament, Marc (snr) is a knowledgeable host, who, with his family, exude a passion and enthusiasm for the Kingdom, which is characteristic of all Swazi's.
Patrick Ward after working onboard charter boats in the Caribbean for eight years returned to Swaziland and has brought a wealth of experience and passion for the leisure industry to the Mountain Inn. Patrick is married to Katheryn and they have a vivacious daughter Ella.

Traveller Feedback
Not impressed

on 01 Jul 2010 It is well placed within the community and it is important to be part of the community. Staff members are sourced from the community.

on 07 May 2010 This hotel REALLY does care. On hearing that our group of Americans was cycling across Swaziland to raise funds for Young Heroes, an orphan-support project, the hotel owners instinctively donated the value of our two-night stay in cash back to the project. How great is that?
