We stayed in the hotel for 4 nights over school holidays. From the moment we arrived, we loved our stay. The staff are friendly, the food was good but most of all the most beautiful setting. We had amazing sightings from the new Hide of hippos and crocs and water birds. The new Padel and Pickleball courts are full and we had a great time.

Resort remains very good in general. Sesonke Restaurant is still very mediocre despite numerous complaints and bad reviews for years. Southern Sun F&B department don't seem to bother with improvements, maybe because foreign tourists come in bus loads with nowhere else to go for meals. Therefore, they keep it going with its limited menu, poor buffet selection and lacking in value for money. On a positive note, timeshare units, property and golf course are all excellent in every respect.

The place is a large resort with golf, tennis, etc and various apartments. My review applies only to the hotel. The resort obviously caters to wealthy visitors to the Kruger Park. I found the hotel replete with a beautifully manicured golf course and very high-end cabins as well as the hotel itself to be disappointing. It is probably the only one available for tours, and it is professionally run, and is satisfactory for lodging. But we had been staying at hotels characterized by happy, always smiling and very helpful staffs, but in the two days I never saw single staff person smile, nor for that matter, the wealthy guests. Many seemed dour and unhappy. The staff almost seemed proud of the fact that they have no ATM machine (the town is too far to walk for one). I suspect that this is a management issue. Our rooms were adequate but nothing memorable. Our group of 9 was unanimous in our disappointment, and everybody commented that the food here was by far the worst of the trip, overcooked and tasteless.

Sabi river is part of the Sun group, which says it all. Excellent accommodation with onsite restaurant, spa, golf course, bowling and tennis and swimming pools. Also kids entertainment and show during the holidays. Friendly and efficient service. Close to the Kruger Park. Great views of the hippocampus and crocodiles from most chalets.

The timeshare bungalows are in excellent condition after the upgrade. Golf course is good and the resort entertainment is great. Tennis, golf, pedal, lawn bowls. Close to Kruger Park with easy access. Game drives available, if you're that way inclined

Good comfortable option pretty close to Kruger gates. Accommodation was tidy, good area for braaing and enjoying time after being in the car all day. Seeing the hippos leaving their dam each sunset was special. We didnt hear about this cool experience and just stumbled upon it so front desk should be trained to mention this at check in. Small shop with limited products (ice cream, souvenirs etc) so best do food shop in town Suprisingly, didn't have a gym which was a shame for a big property like this.

How it is possible that this hotel is a supposed 4 star facility is beyond belief. From our arrival to our departure an absolute negative experience from our room not being serviced notwithstanding various requests to supper services not starting until 20 minutes later than supposed 6pm. We communicated the negative aspects to management that elected to ignore any issues and us as guests and early check out was done - zero accountability nor any attitude to make amends . If possible consider other options in the area.

Beautiful resort with hippos to view in a private dam. Rooms are of a high standard, and the staff are friendly and welcoming. It’s a short drive to Numbi Gate for access to the Kruger Park. There is a 9 hole golf course, bowls lawn and tennis courts.
