We arrived at the resort just after 5pm and was handed our keys with a map of where our unit was and a map of the various sites in the area. We noticed the shop was well stocked. When we got to our cabana, the unit was very clean, with a chocolate for each of us, some rusks and tea/coffee packs. The resort is very tranquil. It is close to every site in the lowveld.

Expensive mediocre accommodation
Average place. Needs a revamp and not well looked after.
Very hot no Aircon. Otherwise average accommodation at a very high price.
Pros: nice area, relaxing, pools, convenient shop on site
Cons:
Unfriendly owners / managers / shop employees
Aged (dirty) bedding needs replacement
Uncomfortable beds
Dirty extractor fan in bathroom
Cutlery / Utensils aged - needs replacing
Overpriced
Overall:
Nice stay in relaxing environment, but the owners should be guest orientated, friendly & approachable. More detailed cleaning of units. Bottom bedroom had a mouldy smell. Paying attention to finer details, like informing guests on check in that braai grids must be taken from the shop with a deposit, and ensuring that units are spotless clean will lead to better ratings. Seriously consider replacing mattresses & bedding
Sabie is a great location for visiting the eastern Transvaal area. Fantastic scenery and good activities nearby.
The on site restaurant was the best we sampled in Sabie
The heated pool was a good extra for our mid winter visit.
Accommodation was comfortable.

Okay!
It was a bit expensive for a basic self catering facility for max 4 persons, and the unit was a bit old, and smelt as though it had been closed up for a while. But overall the resort offers a lot, and I would likely go there again!

Great location just a few minutes outside of town,restsurant on site
Manager welcoming and small shop and restaurant on site if you needed it. We were only there one night but chalet well appointed with comfortable beds and lovely clean bathrooms and kitchen , looked like new !
Easy parking . giant chess, heated outdoor pool in evidence although didnt get chance to use.
Had fantastic dinner at old figtree restaurant in town, lots of South African foods to try !
Security gate and guard presence reassuring
Wonderful studio apartment style room walking distance from the Sabie river. Lot of outdoor facilities. The only thing lacking was an air conditioner in our room.
we enjoyed our stay very much. good service and very good breakfast. WIFI was very good.
