Uitstekende atmosfeer.

Ek het dit baie geniet, die stilte en rustigheid. Vir my is dit 'n lekker rus tyd. My besige lewe by die gastehuis het ek sulke stil plekke nodig. Dit herlaai my siel.

Excellent atmosphere.

I really enjoyed it, the silence and tranquility. For me it is a nice rest time. My busy life at the guesthouse I need such quiet places. It recharges my soul.

An amazing stay in the beautiful Sabie area.

We had an extremely pleasurable stay! The hosts were very friendly and accommodating, and the scenery around the lodge is beautiful. The only downside is that the cellphone signal is extremely weak, but at the same time, it was great to detox from electronic devices, and this was clearly stated on the website when we booked. Bananien Lodge is very centrally located and allows easy access to all the sights on the Panorama Route as well as the Kruger National Park. Would definitely recommend!

Baie lekker gebly. Lekker sentraal.

Ideaal vir 'n vinnige naweek wegbreek. Bietjie beknop vir 4 volwassenes maar kon daarmee saamleef. Die gasvrou was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Rejuvenating.

We are from Johannesburg and just wanted a place to relax and have peace and quiet. This is exactly what we had. No television in the room was an extra bonus. The only suggestion to the lodge is if they can add WiFi extenders in every cabin, the signal was very unstable. Other than that, my hubby and I had an awesome time.

Thank you for the review, Malisa. Glad you were able to relax here at Bananien Lodge.

Vrede en rustigheid.

Die verblyf is maklik toeganklik reg langs die pad, maar die verkeer pla glad nie. Die tuin is pragtig en die stroompie water wat langs die perseel verbyloop dra by tot die rustigheid. Die huisies is netjies en skoon, en goed toegerus met alles wat nodig is. Die eienaars bly ook op die perseel en het uit hulle pad gegaan om ons te akkommodeer en ons verblyf so gerieflik moontlik te maak. Hier is baie min selfoonopvangs, maar mens kan lekker afskakel en die natuur en mooi tuin geniet. Ons kom vir seker weer.

Peace and tranquility.

The accommodation is easily accessible right next to the road, but the traffic does not bother you at all. The garden is beautiful and the stream of water that runs past the premises adds to the tranquility. The houses are neat and clean, and well equipped with everything you need. The owners also live on the premises and went out of their way to accommodate us and make our stay as comfortable as possible. There is very little cell phone reception here, but you can switch off and enjoy the nature and beautiful garden. We will come again for sure.

Good. Overall stay was very good.

The owner of the place and her son were both pleasant to talk to and helpful. The location is also very good. There is no strong WiFi, and you need to go to a certain place for WiFi, but a place like this is a perfect spot for a digital detox, forgetting the outside busy world. I would recommend a few things they can do to make the place even more attractive for future guests. 1. Have a table-top fan in each of the rooms. It'll help a lot in summer. The current ceiling fans are too slow. The weather when we came was pleasant, luckily, else it would have been very hot. 2. Change the shower in that big house on the ground floor. The water is coming very slowly.

Bananien Lodge 's response

Thank you for your review.
The shower head has been replaced with a new one and the ceiling fan is fixed. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. The Vodacom signal can indeed be a problem. Vodacom has experienced a lot of vandalism on the tower and they're considering moving it.

Nie vir 'n vakanskie saam met 'n gesin nie.

Geen musiek is toelaatbaar nie. Die yskas het nie gewerk nie. Geen pakplek vir klere nie en in kombuis kan jy skaars werk. Matras is ook maar sleg en almal het opgestaan met rugpyn.

Dankie vir die terugvoer. Wanneer gaste die verstelling van yskas verander is daar gewoonlik n probleem. yskas is getoets en werk. Daar is aangebied om ander yskas te gee waarop u gese het dit is nie nodig nie u kom reg met die koelbokse met ys. Miskien moet u net vra of musiek toegelaat word voordat bespreking gemaak word. Daar is vooraf vir u gese dat die huisie net 4 mense slaap u wou ekstra persoon bring en nou as dit beknop is is dit die lodge se skuld.

Die huisies kan opgegradeer word. Daar was nie eers 'n flits, LED-liggie om te voorsien in loadshedding-tye nie. Die bestemming is 'n ent uit die dorp en baie ongerieflik as mens nie met 'n motor ry nie. Jacques het ons hartlik ontvang.

Sal ideaal wees as selfoonopvangs en kragonderbrekings uitgesorteer kan word.

The cottages can be upgraded. There was not even a flash, LED light to provide in loadshedding times. The destination is a bit out of town and very inconvenient if you don't drive a car. Jacques received us warmly.

Would be ideal if cell phone reception and power outages could be sorted out.

Our stay was peaceful.

My teenage kids, daughter age 16, and son age 17, enjoyed it to my surprise since there was no Wi-Fi connectivity and cellphones signals were unable to connect. We shared a swimming pool peacefully as we took turns using it.

Pragtige omgewing.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Die gasheer/vrou was baie vriendelik. As dit enigsins moontlik was sou ek graag langer daar wou bly. Die natuurskoon daar was onvergeetlik. Kleine apies speel in die bome rond, heerlike vars lug daar, en so baie om te doen in die omgewing. Alhoewel houthuisies koel kan wees in die winter, het die verwarmer en elektriese en vere komberse ons heerlik warm laat slaap. Dankie aan Bananien Lodge, dit was lekker.

Beautiful surroundings.

We had a very nice stay. The host/wife was very friendly. If it was at all possible I would like to stay there longer. The scenery there was unforgettable. Little monkeys play around in the trees, lovely fresh air there, and so much to do in the area. Although log cabins can be cool in winter, the heater and electric and feather blankets kept us warm and cozy. Thanks to Bananien Lodge, it was nice.

Baie lekker gekuier.

Ons kuier was baie lekker gewees, plekkie waarin ons gebly het was 100% gewees, swembad was mooi skoon gewees. Maar net een probleem is daar is geen voorsiening gemaak vir loadshedding nie, as die krag afgaan is die huisie en als buite donker, dit sal goed wees as hulle daarna kan kyk. Maar verder was als reg en die mense het ons vriendelik ontvang.

Had a great time.

Our visit was very nice, the place we stayed in was 100%, the pool was nice and clean. But only one problem is there is no provision made for loadshedding, if the power goes out the house and everything outside is dark, it would be good if they could look into it. But otherwise everything was fine and the people received us kindly.

Eenvoudige maar netjiese verblyf teen 'n billike prys.

Ons verblyf by Bananien was gerieflik. Dit het baie gehelp dat daar 'n swembad is vir lafenis na 'n warm dag se verkenningstogte. Naby aan meeste besienswaardighede, watervalle, Graskop Gorge met the Big Swing asook Misty Mountain se Teboggan ride. Klipgooi van die wildtuin indien dit jou volgende stop is. Maggie is 'n vriendelike en hulpvaardige gasvrou.

Simple but neat accommodation at a reasonable price.

Our stay at Bananien was comfortable. It helped a lot that there was a pool to cool off in after a hot day of exploring. Close to most attractions, waterfalls, Graskop Gorge with the Big Swing as well as Misty Mountain's Teboggan ride. A stone's throw from the game park if this is your next stop. Maggie is a friendly and helpful hostess.

Ongelooflike mooi ligging in die natuur. Ek beveel dit aan vir enigeen wat 'n ware wegbreek nodig het weg van die gejaagde lewe in die stad.

Al het die kinders baie gekla oor die swak selfoonsein in die gebied. Dit was vir my as ouer welkome verligting om hulle te kon kry om op te kyk en die natuur weer bietjie te ervaar. Dit doen wondere vir die siel.

Even though the children complained a lot about the poor cell phone signal in the area. It was a welcome relief for me as a parent to be able to get them to look up and experience nature again. It does wonders for the soul.

Die ligging en diens was goed, maar te duur vir fasiliteite.

R2,400 per nag was heeltemal te veel vir die fasiliteite in die hut vir 8 mense. Die oond het gewerk, maar die stoof nie eintlik nie (neem 3h om 'n kastrol aartappels gaar te maak). Die kombuis-oppervlakke is te klein om doeltreffend vir 8 (7) mense kos te maak. Daar was onvoldoende bakke om kos in op te dien - later reggestel. Die eetkamertafel het slegs plek vir 6 mense. Die klerekaste is onvoldoende. Die waterdruk was baie laag, sodat meerdere mense nie gelyk kon stort nie. Daar was slegs 6 plastiekstoele op die stoep. Slegs plek vir 4 persone by tafel op die balkon. Eienares was vriendelik en behulpsaam, maar ek voel steeds die prys was te hoog. Geen skoonmaakdienste gelewer tydens 6 dae daar, weens Covid, maar het later 'n mop, emmer, besem, ens. gekry om self vloere skoon te maak.

This review is being shown in its original language.

The location and service was good, but overpriced for facilities.

R2,400 per night was way too much for the facilities in the cabin for 8 people. The oven worked, but the stove didn't really (takes 3h to cook a pot of potatoes). The kitchen surfaces are too small to efficiently cook for 8 (7) people. There were insufficient bowls to serve food in - later corrected. The dining room table only has room for 6 people. The wardrobes are inadequate. The water pressure was very low, so that several people could not shower at the same time. There were only 6 plastic chairs on the porch. Only room for 4 people at the table on the balcony. Owner was friendly and helpful, but I still feel the price was too high. No cleaning services provided during 6 days there, due to Covid, but later provided a mop, bucket, broom, etc. got to clean floors himself.

Die Benanien Lodge was amazing, dit was goed geleë em die personeel is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Ek kon my twee klein hondjies saamvat en ons kon in rustigheid elke dag die plek geniet. Ek wasl mal oor die houthuisie waarin ons gebly het en sal beslis weer gaan. Net een voorstel is dat daar 'n voorsiening gemaak word vir ’n plekkie met ’n TV (die geriewe is reeds daar - dit kort net 'n TV).

The Benanien Lodge was amazing, it was well located and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

I could take my two small dogs with me and we could enjoy the place in peace every day. I love the log cabin we stayed in and will definitely go again. Only one suggestion is that a provision be made for a place with a TV (the facilities are already there - it just needs a TV).

Quiet stopover within the mountains.

Service was good and a fast book-in. The cabin was neat and clean. Although it’s a self catering unit it would have been nice to have a some basics like coffee and sugar in cabin. We enjoyed the fact that there was no TV which allows for quality family time. Will definitely use the facility again to get away from the hustle and bustle.

Baie goeie ligging en welkome swembad.

Sal graag net 'n remote wou hê vir die hek ,want voel ingeperk deur die heeltyd die knoppie by die hek te druk. Vir stadsmense sal ek graag wou hê dat die gastehuis vry moes wees van spinnekoppe voordat gaste arriveer. Agter die swembad kan die natuurlike waterval dalk skoon gemaak word van al die plante. Verder baie lekker gebly!

Very good location and welcome pool.

Would love to have a remote for the gate, because I feel restricted by pressing the button at the gate all the time. For city people, I would like the guest house to be free of spiders before guests arrive. Behind the pool, the natural waterfall may be cleared of all the plants. Also had a great stay!

Ongelukkig gee ons nie remotes vir kliente nie, dis vir u eie veiligheid. Kliente maak nie hek toe nie en bring nie betalende vriende in wat u in gevaar stel. Ek kan vir u n klomp redes gee maar daar is nie plek hier nie.
Ek verseker u alle eenhede word op dag van aankoms weer deurgegaan en skoongemaak. Ongelukkig is ons in die bos en daar is goggas wat saam met ons bly.
Ek sal plan maak met waterval.
Hoop om u weer te huisves in toekoms.

Daar was egter geen sout, koffie of nie eens 'n bietjie melk in yskas nie.

Ons moes alles by Spar in Sabie gaan koop, aangesien ons vanaf Kaapstad tot Jhb gereis het, en met 'n huurmotor tot hier gekom het, het ons niks saamgebring nie. Met die braai moes ons ook alles koop, daar was nie eens 'n braailappie/knyper beskikbaar nie, ek het die wit afdrooglap gespaar wat in kombuis was. Hierdie is 'n baie lekker plek vir plaaslike toeriste, ons het per vliegtuig vanaf Kaap na Jhb gereis, en van daar met huurmotor. Ons moes eie handdoeke saamneem en letterlik alles koop by Spar, Sabie van sout, koffie, melk, suiker, waar meeste oornagplekke koffie, suiker, melk beskikbaar het. Handdoeke is ook 'n probleem, wanneer jy uitboek, reis jy verder met nat handdoeke. Die braai is ook nie baie prakties ingerig nie, geen braaitong of braailappe beskikbaar nie. Ek het die wit afdrooglap egter gespaar, anders sou hulle dit moes weggooi na die tyd. Die stortvloer is egter baie gevaarlik glad wanneer dit nat is. Eienaar se seun moet ook homself weerhou om politieke/rassistiese praatjies met kliënte aan te knoop.

However, there was no salt, coffee or even a little milk in the fridge.

We had to go and buy everything at Spar in Sabie, since we traveled from Cape Town to Jhb, and got here with a rental car, we didn't bring anything with us. With the braai we also had to buy everything, there wasn't even a braai cloth/tweezers available, I saved the white drying cloth that was in the kitchen. This is a very nice place for local tourists, we traveled by plane from Cape to Jhb, and from there by rental car. We had to take our own towels with us and literally buy everything at Spar, Sabie from salt, coffee, milk, sugar, where most places to stay have coffee, sugar, milk available. Towels are also a problem, when you check out you travel further with wet towels. The braai is also not very practical, no braai tongs or braai cloths available. However, I saved the white drying cloth, otherwise they would have to throw it away after the time. However, the shower floor is very dangerously slippery when wet. Owner's son must also refrain from engaging in political/racist talk with customers.

Baie mooi netjies en vriendelike personeel.

Die natuur is pragtig en die tuine is baie mooi versorg. Die cabin was baie mooi ingerig en alles wat ons nodig gehad het was daar. Nie baie oorde gee mens 'n opsie om hulle maklik te kontak in 'n noodgeval nie, maar Bananien het vir ons 'n panic button gegee wat ons baie veilig laat voel het. Baie vriendelike en behulpsame personeel. Baie dankie julle!

Gemaklik ingerigte verblyf. Vriendelike ontvangs vanaf Maggie gehad.

Groot voordeel is die 2 badkamers met meer as 2 storte. Veral omdat dit vriende was wat die verblyf gedeel het. Die onderste stort se stortkop moet dalk net na gekyk word omdat dit nie sterk spuit nie. Een kopseer was die in- en uitgaan by die hek, aangesien jy nie 'n remote kry nie, maar elke keer die eienaars moet kontak om oop te maak deur die interkom. Veral as mens laat inkom. Sal wel weer gebruik maak van hulle verblyf.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Comfortably furnished accommodation. Had a friendly reception from Maggie.

Big advantage is the 2 bathrooms with more than 2 showers. Especially since it was friends who shared the accommodation. The lower shower's shower head may just need to be looked at as it does not spray strongly. One headache was the entry and exit at the gate, as you don't get a remote, but have to contact the owners each time to open through the intercom. Especially if you come in late. Will definitely use their accommodation again.

Rustig en goed geleë.

Ons beveel Bananien met vrymoedigheid aan vir enigiemand wat in 'n mooi rustige omgewing vakansie wil hou, sentraal geleë tot die omgewing se toeriste-aantreklikhede en gemaklik is met selfsorg. Die eenheid waarin ons gebly het was netjies, skoon en bevat alles wat nodig is vir kosmaak. Elke eenheid het sy eie braai-area en die swembad is byderhand vir daardie ekstra ontspanning. Die kinders het gou gewoond geraak aan die swak selfoonnetwerk en na dag twee het dit nie eens meer gepla nie. Baie dankie aan Jaques wat altyd behulpsaam en vriendelik was. By Bananien kry jy presies wat hulle adverteer en dit teen goeie waarde vir geld. Ons sal definitief weer soontoe gaan.

Quiet and well located.

We confidently recommend Bananien to anyone who wants to holiday in a beautiful, peaceful setting, centrally located to the area's tourist attractions and comfortable with self-catering. The unit we stayed in was neat, clean and contained everything needed for cooking. Each unit has its own braai area and the swimming pool is on hand for that extra relaxation. The children soon got used to the weak mobile phone network and after day two it didn't even bother them anymore. Many thanks to Jaques who was always helpful and friendly. At Bananien you get exactly what they advertise and at good value for money. We will definitely go there again.

Heerlik ontspannend met gashere wat jou privaatheid in ag neem!

Aangesien ons die enigste gaste tydens ons verblyf was, was dit heerlik privaat. Die huisies is baie kompak en word netjies en blinkskoon gehou. Ideaal vir wanneer daar ander aktiwiteite in die area gedoen wil word en saans wil terugkeer na 'n rustige ontspannende atmosfeer. Dit was waarde vir ons geld, maar indien ons dit nie vir die promosie-afslag gekry het nie sou ons nie die aanvanklike prys vir hierdie tipe akkommodasie betaal het nie.

Wonderfully relaxing with hosts who take your privacy into account!

Since we were the only guests during our stay, it was wonderfully private. The cottages are very compact and kept neat and clean. Ideal for when you want to do other activities in the area and want to return to a peaceful relaxing atmosphere in the evenings. It was value for our money, but if we didn't get it for the promotional discount we wouldn't have paid the initial price for this type of accommodation.

Baie lekker maar baie beknop.

Die chalet is skoon en netjies, maar die dubbelbed se matras is baie deurgeslaap. Ek en my man het albei rugpyn na die naweek. Dit het ook heeltyd gereën, en daar is nêrens in die chalet 'n gemaklike plek om te sit nie. Jou keuse is of die bed met die ongemaklike matras of 'n harde houtstoeljie by 'n piepklein tafeltjie. Die stapelbed se leertjie is ook gebreek wat dit moeilik maak vir die kind wat bo slaap. Die tuine is pragtig en die omgewing asemrowend. Die swembad is skitterskoon, hoewel ons nie geswem het nie. Met bietjie meer onderhoud sal dit regtig 'n fantastiese plekkie wees vir 'n vinnige wegbreek!

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Very nice but very cramped.

The chalet is clean and tidy, but the double bed's mattress is very worn. My husband and I both have back pain after the weekend. It also rained all the time, and there is nowhere in the chalet a comfortable place to sit. Your choice is either the bed with the uncomfortable mattress or a hard wooden chair at a tiny table. The bunk bed's ladder is also broken, which makes it difficult for the child sleeping upstairs. The gardens are beautiful and the surroundings breathtaking. The pool is sparkling clean, although we didn't swim. With a little more maintenance it would really be a fantastic spot for a quick getaway!

Het reeds hierdie jaar n R5000.00 Booster opgesit vir beter opvangs vir gaste. Alhoewel u net 1 aand geslaap het sou ons die ketel onmiddelik omgeruil het indien u dit gerapporteer het.

Completely too close to the road so the trucks and especially motorbikes are noisy - especially during the day.

The unit was indeed clean and tidy, but very basic and really quite small and cramped. The decor is old fashioned and not very nice. Sorry, but definitely won't stay here again. The wood-and-thatched unit is also not terribly neatly finished.

Sub-standaard verblyf met 'n hele paar huishoudelike items wat aandag nodig het.

Ons het vir 3 dae tuisgegaan in Sabie, met ons gesin en ouers dus 6 gaste. Die eenheid bied 2 badkamers waarvan die onderste badkamer se stort geen warm water het nie en met ons vertrek het ons dit aan die bestuurder genoem wat heeltemal daarvan bewus is. Ook was net 4 van die 8 beddens voorsien met elektriese komberse, alhoewel die prys wat ons betaal het vir 8 mense was. Daar was geen handdoeke voorsien nie, blikoopmaker en broodrooster is nie in werkende orde nie. Ons het probleme opgetel met ons motor en die bestuurder kon geen advies gee oor waarnatoe ons die kar kon vat nie. Ons het R1 800 per nag betaal en die verblyf was sub-standaard, geensins die geld werd nie, en sal dit nie vir gesinne met meer as 4 gaste aanbeveel nie.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Substandard accommodation with quite a few household items that need attention.

We stayed in Sabie for 3 days, with our family and parents, therefore we were 6 guests. The unit offers 2 bathrooms, the lower bathroom has no hot water and with our departure we mentioned it to the manager who is completely aware of it. Also, only 4 of the 8 beds were provided with electric blankets, although the price we paid was 8 people. There were no towels provided, tin opener and toaster are not in working order. We picked up problems with our car and the manager couldn't give any advice on where we could take the car. We paid R1 800 a night and the accommodation was substandard, not worth the money at all, and would not recommend it to families with more than 4 guests.

Quite a lovely getaway.

My three siblings and I stayed there for 3 days. The place was lovely, it has majestic views. We interacted a lot with Jacques, he was very friendly. I will definitely be staying there again. The cabins are quite lovely but really have the minimum basics as told on their website. Do bring all your small essentials e.g. coffee and snacks. The place is also quite close to everything, it is perfectly located. Yes, network and WiFi connections dampen it a bit but it is worth it staying there.

Uitstekend.

Dis die plek om te bly as jy Oos-Transvaal wil beken, halfpad van als (Nelspruit, Hazyview en Grakop), ons het so lekker gebly, wou nie huis toe gaan nie, toe boek ons een nag meer. Bananien, julle rock en dankie vir julle gasvryheid.

Nice stop over, value for money.

We stopped for two nights on the way to Kruger and on the way back, group of 5 with two kids. Accommodation is not luxurious but it has everything you need, kitchen plates, pots, cutlery etc. Accommodation in the wooden cabin was on the basic side but spacious and comfortable. Nice garden with braai stands. Owners friendly. Two main drawbacks: no mobile phone reception (I know it's not the owner's fault but it's a problem) and the pool was not maintained, water was murky and with frogs in it (if you travel with kids this is important). Overall good value for money, got what I expected and would go back, but a little more attention to detail would go a long way (bin liners, wood for braai, towels etc).

Bananien Lodge 's response

Dear Daniela,

Thank you for the review.

In the last 3 cabins, we have just installed granite tops in the kitchen with new 2-plate hobs.

We are on premises and will always go and attend to a problem if it is reported to us.

Hope to see you soon again.

Incredibly invigorating experience.

Beautiful lodge in an aspiring surrounding. Quiet and serene with awesome views. The only thing that was uncomfortable was the 2-plate cooker. It kept going off as soon as the plate got hot then switched off so we had breakfast at lunch time and it was extremely frustrating.

Netjiese cabins met al die nodigste, die lodge se terrein is netjies en pragtige natuur en tuin. Vriendelike diens ontvang. Ons het baie lekker gebly, enigste probleme was cabin nr 4 het 'n mierprobleem, die miere het in als ingeklim en die yskaste in beide nr 4 en 5 het nie baie koud gemaak nie.

Rustig, veilig en pragtig!

Dit was rerig lekker, netjies en skoon. Jy het lekker privaatheid en die natuur is pragtig daar. Was bly oor geen geraas nie en geen harde musiek ens. wat jy by ander plekke kry. Enigste jammerte was oor geen selfoonsein so die buitewêreld sukkel om jou in die hande te kry. Maar sal definitief weer daar bly!

Pragtige omgewing, maar teleurstellende verblyf!

Die wooneenheid nr. 3 waarin ons gebly het, het dringende opknapping nodig en dit is ook so gemeld aan die personeel wat aan diens was, aangesien die eienaars nie tuis was nie. Die volgende het o.a. dringende aandag nodig: Badkamer - badkraan stukkend, toiletbank stukkend, eenlaag baie swak en dun toiletpapier! Geen seep in houer. Kombuis: geen mop of skoppie, geen opwasseep of vadoek, sponsie (na aanvraag daarvoor is 'n geskeurde, gevlekte vadoek en seep wat nie wou skuim aan ons verskaf). Braaipan is gedaan, vuil en skeefgetrek. Tweeplaatstoof was stadig en 'n gesukkel om spek en eiers in te bak. Slaaparea: Dubbelbedmatras en beddegoed is gedaan. Matjies voor bed was vuil. Sondag is geen skoonmaakdienste verskaf nie en na navraag was die verskoning dat hulle vergeet het om ons daaroor in te lig. Nie aangename verblyf en ook nie 'n plek wat ons vir iemand sal aanbeveel nie. Beslis nie op standaard in vergelyking met soortgelyke verblyf en prysklas in daardie omgewing nie.

Beautiful surroundings, but disappointing accommodation!

The residential unit no. 3 in which we stayed needed urgent renovation and this was also reported to the staff on duty, as the owners were not at home. The following have a.o. urgent attention needed: Bathroom - bathtub tap broken, toilet seat broken, single layer very weak and thin toilet paper! No soap in container. Kitchen: no mop or scoop, no washing-up soap or dishcloth, sponge (upon request we were provided with a torn, stained dishcloth and soap that did not lather). Frying pan is done, dirty and warped. Two plate stove was slow and a struggle to bake bacon and eggs. Sleeping area: Double bed mattress and bedding are done. Mats in front of the bed were dirty. On Sunday no cleaning services were provided and upon inquiry the excuse was that they forgot to inform us about it. Not a pleasant stay and not a place we would recommend to anyone. Certainly not up to standard compared to similar accommodation and price range in that area.

Skoon, vriendelik, sentraal.

Die huisie was skoon met warm water, tuin is pragtig. Die plek het groot onderhoud nodig. Trappies op en van die reling op stoep se hout moet dalk vervang word. Van die hout in die vloer en badkamer het al weggetrek en daar kom 'n koue luggie deur. In die somer sal dit geen probleem wees nie. Geen wynglase nie. Kragprop agter yskas moet herstel of vervang word. Ongemaklik met net 1 prop vir ketel, mikrogolf en stofie.

The cottage was clean with hot water, garden is beautiful. The place needs major maintenance. Steps to and from the railing on porch wood may need replacing. Some of the wood in the floor and bathroom has already moved away and a cold air is coming through. In the summer it will be no problem. No wine glasses. Power plug behind refrigerator needs repair or replacement. Inconvenient with only 1 plug for kettle, microwave and stove.

Hi Truna

Die hout wat wegtrek is as gevolg van die baie nat weer wat ons in die somer gehad het en nou is die winter weer baie droog. Sal definitief daarna kyk asook die ander probleme wat jy noem. Hout wat stukkend is, is reeds op al die eenhede vervang.

Kan ek net verneem waarna u verwys as u sê die plek is in "bad" kondisie met geen onderhoud? Dit sal dit makliker maak om reg te maak as ek weet waarvan gepraat word. Die gaste is persoonlik deur die eienares uitgeboek waar geen melding gemaak is van probleme wat hulle ondervind het nie. Dit spyt ons dat dit nou eers deur middel van die agentskap aan ons gemeld word, terwyl die probleem moontlik dadelik aangespreek kon word.

A warm friendly greeting met us and throughout our stay we felt our needs were their primary focus, from the cleaning of the pool to their concern regarding our safety when we had to evacuate due to a fire threatening our safety. We were treated like family, rather than guests.

Bananien het ten volle aan ons behoeftes voldoen!

Ons het min tyd by die lodge spandeer, basies net daar geslaap. Alles was skoon en netjies en het perfek voldoen aan alles wat ons nodig gehad het. Enigste probleem was die 2-plaatstofie. Ons wou vinnig ontbyt maak maar die stofie is baie stadig. Het dit later toegeskryf as 'n slegte ervaring en gaan ontbyt eet. Verder NIKS om oor te kla nie.

Banana fully met our needs!

We spent little time at the lodge, basically just slept there. Everything was clean and tidy and perfectly met everything we needed. Only problem was the 2 plate stove. We wanted to make breakfast quickly but the stove is very slow. Later chalked it up to a bad experience and went to have breakfast. Other than that, NOTHING to complain about.

It was excellent experience.

The only problem was that there is no network for cellphones, WiFi and TV, except at my place. The location is great. Our group was quite happy.

Bananien Lodge 's response

Dear Syed,

Thank you for your review for Bananien Lodge. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us and hope to see you again in the near future.

The cellphones is a bit of a problem due to the location of Bananien Lodge in the mountains. We are busy seeking advice to solve the problem but it seems to be a very expensive exercise to put up a system for Wi-Fi. If we still had a Telkom service it would not have been a problem.

Thank you again for your support.

Kindest regards,
Pieter Nortje

Dit was 'n aangename ervaring vir ons en veral die kinders wat die oop spasies geniet het.

Bananien is perfek vir 'n naweekwegbreek van die gejaag van werk. Die feit dat daar geen TV was nie, was nie eers gemis nie en die kinders was meer behep met buite wees, wat goed is. Dit is ook sentraal geleë vir "sight seeing" en Sabie is net a klipgooi daarvandaan. Sal dit beslis oorweeg 'n volgende keer.

It was a pleasant experience for us and especially the children who enjoyed the open spaces.

Banana is perfect for a weekend break from the hustle and bustle of work. The fact that there was no TV wasn't even missed and the kids were more preoccupied with being outside, which is good. It is also centrally located for "sight seeing" and Sabie is just a stone's throw away. Will definitely consider it a next time.

Heerlike, snoesige houthuisies met 'n pragtige uitsig.

Bananien is naby Sabie geleë wat dit maklik maak om heen en weer te ry. Geen TV nie (positief), en oorgenoeg speelplek vir die kinders op die reuse grasperke. Die huisies is klein, maar ruim genoeg om heerlik te kuier. Die badkamer is afgeskort, maar die dak is oop, wat ongemaklike situasies tot gevolg kan hê. Dis naby die pad geleë, maar daar is min verkeer en amper geen swaar voertuie wat 'n groot geraas maak nie. Dis ook gemaklik om die kinders rondom die swembad te kan dophou vanaf die huisie se dek. Dis goeie waarde vir geld (veral met die afslag) en ons sal weer kom en vriende saambring.

Lovely, cozy wooden houses with a beautiful view.

Bananien is located near Sabie which makes it easy to drive back and forth. No TV (positive), and plenty of play space for the children on the giant lawns. The houses are small, but spacious enough to have a great time. The bathroom is partitioned off, but the roof is open, which can lead to uncomfortable situations. It is located near the road, but there is little traffic and almost no heavy vehicles that make a lot of noise. It's also comfortable to be able to watch the children around the pool from the cottage's deck. It's good value for money (especially with the discount) and we will come again and bring friends.

Hi Cornelia
Dankie vir die positiewe terugvoer, dit word waardeer.
Ons wil egter nie TV's in die eenhede sit nie want dit sal die rustigheid versteur.

By Bananien het ons vinnig teruggekom aarde toe en vir die eerste keer in 'n lang tyd het ek en my man en ons 2 dogtertjies met mekaar gesit en gesels en saam gespeel. Dit was 'n awesome bonding experience en om van die natuur nie eers te praat nie. Jacques en Marni het ook kom koffie drink soos ou vriende en dit was baie spesiaal.

Baie geniet, rustig, mooi en skoon.

Vir die prys wat ek betaal het, was dit baie lekker. Ek sal net die volgende voorstel: Gee vir elke verblyfeenheid 'n afstandbeheer vir die hek en verhoog die sleuteldeposito. Verbeter die algemene veiligheid van die chalet/rondawel. Die deur kon amper oopmaak sonder 'n sleutel. Die mikrogolfrak in die rondawel is nie op 'n veilige plek nie. 'n Mens stamp jou kop as jy inloop. Kry moontlik 'n TV.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Very enjoyable, peaceful, beautiful and clean.

For the price I paid, it was very nice. I would only suggest the following: Give each accommodation unit a remote control for the gate and increase the key deposit. Improve the general safety of the chalet/rondavel. The door could almost open without a key. The microwave rack in the rondavel is not in a secure location. You bump your head when you walk in. Possibly get a TV.

Bananien Lodge 's response

Goeie Dag Tony,

Dankie vir die terugvoer, ek waardeer dit baie want dit help ons om die standaarde te verhoog. Die afstandbeheer vir die hek word juis nie uitgegee nie as gevolg van veiligheid. Gaste vergeet om die hek toe te maak of maak nie seker dat hek wel toe is nie, of hulle bring ander vriende wat nie bespreek het nie en dit veroorsaak 'n oorvol lodge met raserige gaste. Ek sal kyk wat ek kan verbeter aan die deur en die mikrogolfrak skuif. Ons sal egter nie 'n TV kan insit nie.

Groete,
Pieter Nortje

Nie vir ons as gesin met jong kinders bedoel nie.

Die huisie is netjies, maar ongemaklik warm. Van die ligte het nie gewerk nie. GEEN vermaak vir jong kinders nie, nie binne die huisie met 'n TV of buite met 'n klimraam of speelgeriewe nie. Ons sal Bananien nie gou weer besoek of aanbeveel by vriende met jong kinders nie.

Not meant for us as a family with young children.

The house is neat, but uncomfortably warm. Some of the lights did not work. NO entertainment for young children, not inside the cottage with a TV or outside with a climbing frame or play facilities. We will not be visiting Bananien again anytime soon or recommending it to friends with young children.

Daar is vele redes hoekom ons nie tevrede was met ons verblyf by Bananien Lodge nie!

Die foto's is misleidend. Ons was al teleurgesteld toe ons by die hek inry. Die bestuurder het ons ook nie goed behandel toe ons dit onder sy aandag bring dat ons nie gelukkig is met sekere dinge daar nie.

Ons sal verseker weer van hul diens gebruik maak.

Bananien Lodge is sentraal geleë wat dit 'n goeie opsie maak vir oornag verblyf indien jy die Panorama roete wil doen. Ons is vriendelik verwelkom, die eienaars en personeel was hoflik en behulpsaam. Eenheid is netjies en die nodige items is tot jou beskikking. Die padgeraas vroeg oggend het bietjie gepla, maar dit mag dalk net wees aangesien ons nie daaraan gewoond is nie. Die swembad se rante het bietjie alge maar die water was skoon.

The road noise early in the morning bothered us a bit, but that might just be because we are not used to it. The edges of the pool have some algae but the water was clean.

Beautiful accomodation

Accommodation is beautiful and it's close to all the major tourist attractions which makes life convenient. Customer service however, was non-existent. They never once checked that their guests were okay, see if they needed anything or asked if they were enjoying themselves. Some of the other guests at the same time as we were, said their feelings were mutual on this point - they also wanted more customer service from the people who ran the lodge (A basic check-up on your guests is expected at a TGCSA 3-star rated place)

Ek sal nie weer die lodge besoek nie ... Die diens is stadig en die veiligheid is belaglik.

Die huisies is hopeloos te klein vir 3 volwassenes en 'n kind. Die feit dat daar net een badkamer is, maak die geriewe ongemaklik vir soveel mense. Die veiligheid by die lodge is belaglik, my kind en kleinkind is beroof en dis duidelik waar die rowers in- en uitgegaan het! Personeel voel hulle veiligheid is op standaard.

Baie mooi omgewing.

Die plek het baie potensiaal en ek glo die houthutte is mooi ingerig. Ons was effe teleurgestel in die plek waar ons gewoon het (slaapplek vir 6-8) met 'n toilet wat nie gewerk het by ons aankoms nie, en bergfietsroetes geadverteer maar toe nie beskikbaar nie. Die diens was egter baie vriendelik. Ons voel net die plek se potensiaal kan soveel beter benut word. Sabie is 'n pragtige dorp en ons sal weer terugkeer maar is ons is onseker of ons van dieselfde verblyf gebruik sal maak. Ons het egter die omgewing baie geniet. Ons het by Merry Pebbles gaan fietsry op die ou einde. Dit was lieflik daar. Baie dankie.

The place has a lot of potential and I believe the log cabins are nicely decorated. We were a bit disappointed in the place we stayed (sleeps 6-8) with a toilet that didn't work when we arrived, and mountain bike trails advertised but then not available. However, the service was very friendly. We just feel the place's potential could be used so much better. Sabie is a beautiful town and we will return again but we are unsure if we will use the same accommodation. However, we really enjoyed the surroundings. We went cycling at Merry Pebbles in the end. It was lovely there. Thank you very much.

The fact that there is no cell phone reception was a concern. The security company at the house called and couldn't get through. Problems at home were encountered. Anything could happen and there is no cell phone reception to call anyone.

Very caring and good service

Very caring and good service, one improvement may be to include a cabinet, where the most need items like dishwashing soap etc. can be kept. Otherwise, a wonderful experience.
