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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We enjoyed it very much. Thank you!
The place and management were very pleasant. The nightlife is busy, we would have preferred it quieter. Other than that, everything was great.

Very nice environment.
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.

Nice quiet environment with nice garden. Pleasant people.
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.
