Sabi River Sun Review

This place offers the most great atmosphere if u want a break from city noise this is the place to go,

Beautiful resort near the Kruger and the various waterfalls of the Mpumalanga, very nice tropical garden, green golf courses, inviting and varied cuisine, very kind staff, a pleasant place to stop for a few days

Excellent resort. Spend a week there. Birding walk was special. I will go back

It's quite a beautiful place. Food is quite good and delicious.

This is a shout out to Freedom, the duty manager, who made my parents feel special on their wedding anniversary. I cannot fault the management at Sabi River Sun.

My parents have been regular visitors since 1988 and they take care of their guests. We were there during a terrible storm back in 2009 and they sent us complimentary pizzas along with some staff to check up on us. They arranged a hire car for us to get back to Johannesburg when a tree at the bungalows fell on to my car and it had to be towed during the same storm.
The units are well maintained and the nature and surrounds are spectacular.
It s a very special place with a super golf course for those that play - mind the crocodiles and hippos!

Golf, hippos, birds, kids friendly, lovely to relax

My favourite holiday place close to Kruger National Park. Staff bend over backwards to make you happy. Gardens are lovely. Golf course wonderful.

Very relaxed and above all has pristine 18 holes golf course.

Just returned from a fabulous long weekend at Sable River Sun. What a wonderful place! Clean, entertaining, lovely restaurant, friendly staff, even met Malcolm the general manager who mingled with the visitors. Thank you For a wonderful weekend wil see you again!

The service was exceptional. Nolan, Prudence, house staff Susan(?) The grill men, all extremely pleasant and professional. The views, nature the grounds are beautiful. However, the rooms (Chalets) are dated and worn. The pool was in repair most of the week (without advanced notification), there is minimal programming and entertainment, and no shuttle service or public transportation into town. We paid the ultimate price when choosing to move from an extremely old and worn chalet #28, out in the back boonies to the offered chalet #9. Somewhat in better condition (actually pretty nice) BUT chalets 1-8 were being repaired with teams of individuals pounding, hammering, shoveling, communicating loudly, using some sort of machinery, carrying wheelbarrows back and forth past our back lounge area (which is also nice with bbq pit, large table and lawn chairs). This went on from early morning until about 1700 or 1800. Nope, didn't ask to move again. The first lady upon check in made it clear that they had nothing else since we were only Exchange guests.

Nice resort with good food. Rooms and beds were ok.

Great golf course and stunning accommodation and food!

Loved it. Entertainer needs to be inclusive of all kids... need someone younger

One of my favourite places to spend a few days. The chalets are well equipped and generally far enough apart that one doesn't feel crowded. It has an 18 hole championship golf course for the golfers and there is lots to do in the area. My favourite is the chalets overlooking the hippo pond especially watching them come out at night to feed.

I own week 50 in a chalet... The resort is 10/10 in terms of service and maintenance. The restaurant however is truly shocking. It is dead quiet(for a reason) and way over staffed by people who simply don't care. The other reviews show a general and overwhelmingly positive towards the resort but the same comments on food. Senior management at TSOGO sun need to look into this as hotel management are clearly incapable. Would I recommend the resort? 8 days a week

What a wonderful place to unwind and relax a perfectl getaway for you or the whole family. Hotel and self catering.

Beautiful view of the golf course. Well kept grounds. Friendly staff.

Magnificent resort on excellent golf course. Wonderful chalets and surroundings

Sabi River Sun chalets are always clean and neat with friendly service and are well equiped.
Located close to the Kruger National Park's Pabeni gate, local Checkers and other stores.
Amazing being able to view hippos, crocodiles and a large variety of bird life right from your doorstep.

Awesome Holiday destination, just a pity how they rip you off at the pool area with their pricing on beverages and beers. Ridiculous to say the least!!! Bring your own...

Lovely, tranquil setting. A well maintained Resort.

An excellent place to stay an relax.

have a break ooooiooh just awesome.

What a place. Really enjoyed my stay here. Beautiful setting. Lots to do Excellent staff and service. Very close to Krueger Park. Very relaxing.

An amazing resort that we try to visit on an annual basis. Suitable for all families whether to play golf, relax by the pool while the young kids are entertained, or as a base to travel to the Kruger and surrounding tourist attractions. All in all an experience not to be missed.

Well looked after resort. Peaceful though lots do to in the area. Friendly management and staff.

Very very nice, very quiet and really sunny, the service is great and the waiters are really kind and nice ... For a sportsman it is excellent it has tennis courts, volleyball, golf, swimming pools and much more ...
I recommend it to those who are really very good

Probably some of the prettiest gardens in whole area. We had dinner in the new golf club house. Excellent food, and really good service. Not well signposted from the car park though. Lovely ambience in the evening

Always wonderfull....prime resort and maintained perfectly ..absolutely the perfect holiday escape..

Fun and entertaining had lots to do and the accommodation is excellent

Very special Resort by, among other things, the crocodiles and hippos that have their place on the site.

Hotel in beautful setting, on the banks of the Sabie river. A challenging18 holes golf course winds it way through well appointed self-catering luxury holiday chalets of various sizes. Hotel rooms and suites also avalable. Tennis, bowls and volleyball courts on the premises. Kruger National Park gates less than 30 mins away. Ultra friendly staff cater for every whim a guest might have. Ideal for family holidays, breakaway weekends or business events and team building excersizes. Enjoyed my time there.

Nice for golf lots of things to do for the kids something for everybody

Excellent resort to stay. Enough to keep one so busy that another holiday is needed. A bonus is the close proximity to the Kruger National Park

Beautiful place and enjoyed my stay. Would recommend most definitely

One of the most hospitable hotels I have visited in South Africa. Staff are friendly and go out of their way to accommodate your needs. Other hotels should take lessons from Sabi River Sun Resort

Rooms were comfortable. Disappointed that we booked a room for 4 people and then we only get supplies for two people, 2 towels, 2 coffees etc. The food was really not good. The evening buffet was shocking actually. There should be consistency with hotel groups like Tsogo Sun. The food between yourselves and Riverside Sun cannot be compared. Actually not worth the R2700 for the night.

Always relaxing. Well maintained units. Hippo dam a great treat

Playing here when taking a break from Joburg is always a pleasure. Their new club house, pro shop and bar area, which is also the halfway, is a major improvement since I last came in 2016. The fairways are manicured and always in good shape thanks also to good rains. Improvements in their aloe and succulent gardens around the course are noticeable - good water-wise planning for the future. The T-box distance and par markings are now looking a little old. The greens remain a challenge, some showing spots. The many water sections make for excellent photography and the occasional call of a Purple-crested Turaco makes the game a touch bit more interesting. The Safari Gold draught beer from Sabie Brewing Co. available at the Clubhouse after the game didn't touch sides.

Best resting place in close proximity to Kruger National Park and many other sightseeing places.

Sabie River Sun is a beautiful resort and golf course. Hippos can be observed in the afternoons and walking paths along the course are wonderful for visitors who would like to take a stroll when all the golfers are gone. A large swimming pool is available and the restaurant serves delicious food. Not forgetting the new club house and pro shop which is really nice for golfers who cannot resist the urge to buy a memento from every course they play.

The gardens are amazing. Food is really good. Staff is friendly and helpful

Visited for three days. Friendly staff, beautiful setting and absolutely loved the hippos on my morning jog.

Awesome place. Only 500mb per day free Wi-Fi irrespective of sunrewards membership. Great variety of food on the buffet menu.

It's a beautiful place to get your mind off things, if you want to rest, perfect place to be.

Great accommodation. Renovations are also superb. Highly recommend.

Having a good time here at Sabi River Sun, so many friendly and helpful people working here.
