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.

Fabulous river frontage My husband tried unsuccessfully to land some fair sized trout. Cottage very comfortable with fireplace and heaters. Had Sabie trout in the restuarant which was excellent. Perfect base for visiting all the local sites and hikes. Will go back again. Staff discreet and efficient. Sadly, my offer to buy life rights to the cottage as a retirement home was rejected. Ah well….

Relaxing environment, bit pricey for what you get

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!

Good spot after touring the Blyde River Canyon

I booked this quickly the same day using the iPad app while driving through Blyde River Canyon, and when I arrived in Graskop, which I had searched for a place to stay in, I was a bit surprised to discover that this site was actually in Sabia, a good 20 km away. That's not the fault of the hotel, of course, but my own, and maybe partially the designer of the app. Anyway, this meant that we arrived at the hotel just as it was getting dark and soon before the reception closed. Everything was fine and the site felt secure, although we drove past a semi-scary-looking informal settlement just before reaching Sabie. This must be a good place for keen fly-fishers, with a river running straight through the property.
