A lovely quiet, stylish place. Excellent Service.
The nicest place we have stayed in Nelspruit area. Very nice owners. Kind compasssionate and helpful. Highly recommended.Very nice rooms and excellent breakfast. I have stayed in many hotels and B+B's in this area and Sheppards Boutique Hotel is by far the nicest. Lovely pool and stunning views.We will definitely be back.

Great stay. Biggest challenge is that the rooms door was frosted glass and the night lights lit the room up like Armageddon. The team acted fast and turned off the lights for the remaining nights, which was much appreciated.
Overall, food was good, service was a little slow but always well intentioned.

Malheureusement, le restaurant n’était pas ouvert, et la réception fermée à 17:00, un samedi. L’endroit est propre, le lit confo, la douche est grande. Nous sommes allées au Orange pour souper, très bon, et belle vue.

Perfect location with easy access to downtown areas of Nelspruit but neatly tucked away in a neighborhood in the hillside so you can relax, unwind and enjoy the view when you are there.

Well furnished boutique hotel
This hotel is a large boutique hotel - and although it looks like it has been around for a while, the rooms were freshly decorated. The hotel has quality furniture, linens and towels - which gave it a more luxurious feel than other B&Bs that I have stayed in. The breakfast was delicious - offering both a buffet of cereals and cold meats etc and a plate of cooked breakfast made to order. The leafy garden and views over Nelspruit were lovely and made us feel like we had had a mini-holiday whilst overnighting in Nelspruit.
