The hotel is situated on the picturesque banks of the Sabie River and is on the fringe of the tiny town of Hazyview. The International airport is a 35 minute drive away. Only 12 kms from Phabeni Gate, the nearest entrance to Kruger National Park, and a short drive to the Panorama Route.

This is a stunning 4* lodge hotel with 2 outdoor swimming pools and beautiful landscaped gardens surrounding the lodge chalets. As well as relaxing at the hotel there are many activities to enjoy nearby including river rafting, fishing, hiking, golf and a newly opened elephant experience reserve.

The property consists of thatched chalets, some of which are on the river bank and others are situated in the sub tropical garden. There are also hotel rooms.

The a la carte restaurant serves international and local food and guests can sit within the thatched boma or out on a lovely terrace overlooking the Sabie River. The food here is first class and the wine menu extensive as the restaurant manager has a good wine cellar. Meals are also organised outdoors every other day and are accompanied with cultural dancing by local tribes. The bar is very cosy and inviting and popular with guests.

The reception desk is situated to the left as you enter the restaurant and bar and draws guests attention to the lovely lawn leading down to the Sabie River and its many wild inhabitants.

These are beautifully decorated rooms with African patterns on all of the soft furnishings, a tall thatched roof and cool stone tiles on the floor. Rooms have excellent cupboard space, safe, seating and writing desk as well as a hairdryer. All rooms are en suite. Half of the rooms overlook the breathtaking Sabie river and its wallowing hippos and the other half face the beautifully maintained gardens and swimming pool. Rooms deliberatly have no TV or telephone so guests can enjoy the incredible sounds of nature by the river, although guests can make calls from reception or watch TV in the hotel bar. Rooms also have a terrace with seats.

2 kms to city centre, 25 kms to the nearest airport (kruger mpumalanga int'l).
