Malaga Hotel, on the banks of the Elands River in Mpumalanga, has recently undergone refurbishments and will be rebranded as a Protea Hotel in March, 2015.
The three-star hotel is one of six properties leased and managed by the Boulevard Group and is ideal for families as a stopover en-route to to the Kruger National Park or Mozambique. It is also convenient for business travellers as it is close to Nelspruit.
All 52 rooms have private balconies with garden and mountain views. There are three conference rooms and a restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating with a menu featuring farm-fresh country fare and organic homegrown vegetables. The hotel is a popular venue for country weddings.
The Panorama Route, which includes the Blyde River Canyon, Pilgrim’s Rest, Sabie, Graskop, God’s Window, waterfalls, Pinnacle Point (rock formation), Bourke’s Luck Potholes and Three Rondavels (mountain range), along with the Kruger National Park, is easily accessible from the hotel. The area is renowned for adventure sport and is close to one of South Africa's top rock climbing destinations. For the outdoor enthusiast, there is abseiling, mountain-biking, hiking, trail-running and fishing. 
Other facilities include the spa with Jacuzzi and sauna and a volleyball court. A trampoline and a mini putt-putt course are currently being added for additional entertainment for younger guests.
