This fairly important town at the centre of the country is the entry point to nearby Lesotho. Few tourists stopover here, even when taking a break between Johannesburg and Cape Town.

My suggestion

The hotels are expensive and there's not much to do here. If you can, pass directly by Lesotho to stopover in Manzini.
