Ten Years of 3 on Greger

In 2016, 3 on Greger Accommodation opened its doors for the first time.

What began with our Family Unit grew over the years into the four accommodation options we offer today — the Family Unit, Zebra Suite, Tauraco Room and Kingfisher Room.

But 3 on Greger has never really been about rooms.

It has been about people.

In our very first year, we welcomed 170 guests from 16 countries. By 2019, our busiest year before the pandemic, 1,415 guests from 19 countries had passed through our gates.

Some stayed for a single night. Others stayed for weeks. Business travellers became regular visitors, families returned for school and sporting events, and guests travelling between South Africa, Mozambique and Eswatini made 3 on Greger a familiar stop along the way.

And somewhere along that journey, many stopped feeling quite so much like guests.

Through Changing Times

Like every hospitality business, our journey has included challenges.

The global pandemic changed travel almost overnight, but 3 on Greger adapted and continued to welcome those who needed a comfortable place to stay.

The years since have brought their own adventures, changes and plenty of hard work. Through it all, we have continued to invest in the property and in the comfort of our guests.

More recently, we added a substantial solar and battery system together with backup water storage, helping us provide the dependable comfort our guests expect even when municipal services are less dependable.

Ten years later, we are still learning, improving and finding new ways to make 3 on Greger a comfortable home away from home in Nelspruit (Mbombela).

More Than Somewhere to Sleep

We have always believed that hospitality is found in the little things.

Sometimes that means helping somebody find their way around Mbombela. Sometimes it is recommending somewhere to visit, helping solve an unexpected problem, or simply providing a warm welcome after a very long day.

Our guests have come to us for business trips, hospital visits, family occasions, school sport, marathons, festivals, holidays and adventures through the Lowveld.

Whatever brings someone through our gate, we want them to feel comfortable while they are here.

Perhaps the greatest compliment we receive is when someone returns.

Over the years, many guests have done exactly that — often enough that familiar faces walking through the gate feel less like new arrivals and more like welcoming old friends back.

The Hands Behind 3 on Greger

Meet the Real Property Owners 🐾

It still makes us smile when a guest who arrived keeping a very cautious distance is, a day or two later, stopping on the way past to scratch a back or pat a head.

Leila, Dusty and Whiskey are simply part of everyday life at 3 on Greger — supervising the garden, keeping an eye on proceedings and ensuring that their humans maintain acceptable standards.

Ten Years — and Counting

In 2026, we celebrate 10 years of 3 on Greger.

When we look back, the numbers tell one part of the story — the rooms added, the countries represented and the thousands of stays.

But the real story is found in the people we have met along the way.

To every guest who stayed once, every traveller who returned, every company that continued sending people our way and every familiar face who has become part of the 3 on Greger story:

Thank you.

We are grateful that you chose our little corner of the Lowveld, and we look forward to seeing where the next ten years take us.

Heinrich, Lani & the 3 on Greger family ❤️
