We enjoyed it very much. They are centrally located between all the attractions.
If you want to go and get quiet in the woods, semi-secluded, the chalets are a good choice. It feels a bit cut off from the outside world. If you would rather enjoy a holiday-type accommodation, their tented houses by the river are an excellent choice with the most beautiful view, swimming pool and tranquility around you.

The communication between Mackers and us was excellent regarding routes and passability and directional signs. Pleasant, peaceful accommodation and silence that you can hear and feel.
With rugby as the exception, a TV would have been handy. But its provision would have been special. But then the silence was disturbed. The provision of limited light because there was load shedding is appreciated. Thanks to the owner and his staff for excellent communication and availability. Would love to stay there again.

Unfortunately, we were there for such a short time that we basically only needed a place to sleep and shower because we wanted to see the places in the area during the time we were there.
But I have to say the bedding was super clean, the beds themselves had the most amazing mattresses on them. The extras in the place like electric blankets, complimentary coffee etc. was like a bonus! Mackers really impressed us when we got there. The direction we had to go to get to our spot as well as the parking was very well indicated so that one could not go wrong. As mentioned above, I have to be honest and say I'm not the easiest customer and I slept so well on that mattress there that I tried to twist my fiance's arm to spend another night there so I just could sleep on that nice bed for once. The gas stove with the kettle ensured that even during load shedding one could still drink coffee. The water for the shower was deliciously hot. It was spacious and tidy. And the check-in and check-out system they have there, too easy! I would like to request that if a main road such as the way between Hazyview and Sabie is that they/the website only informs you of it so that you can plan your routes around it. But I would recommend anyone to Mackers anytime and also that they book through LekkeSlaap.

The word Riverbend made us believe we would be near the river. The road was dangerously steep. Dimly lit. Not enough kitchen utensils. Not modern at all and needs television and internet. Photos misleading. We were 4 persons and 1 had to sleep on the floor.

Mackers 's response
Good day
We are sorry that you did not enjoy your 1-night stay with us.
Riverbend is the name of the farm and if you read the full description it says "in the valley with the sound of the river " not on the river.
Our road is a 1 km trip to the cottages and in 11 years have not had a problem of it being called dangerous. You arrival was after check in hours at night and the road was dark.
We do not advertise TV and Wi-Fi as we hope for a tranquil stay.
We checked the utensils and everything required for 4 people is there.
Photos are not misleading and match the cottage description. 1 bedroom cottage with 2 single beds in the lounge area.
We hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip and found better and more accommodating places and venues for the money you paid.

City dwellers move in the short end with the noise and bustle and miss the silence of nature as one experiences it in this valley. Off, sacrifice and more sacrifice in the hole and suddenly you are there, what a cremation.

Hi Hennie, thanks so much for the review and we are sad that you were not happy about not being received. Our signs clearly state that it is a self-check in. We adopted this policy since Covid to have less contact for both the guests and ourselves. In the 8 years that we have been on the property, to date we have had no problem with cars passing, as they pull over for one another. Please also be advised that we are a self catering establishment, however, thank you for bringing it to out attention that we should put extra complimentary coffee in. We hope to see you back soon.

We used the place just as an overnight place to go to the Wildlife Park. It's very close to 2 gates of the Wildtuin. The place is very quiet and peaceful. All you hear during braai time are the birds and river at the bottom of the resort. The road is very steep, but it was fun going up and down. It's only going to be difficult if someone comes from the beginning. It only happened once but could easily pass in one place. We had a small problem with the shower but it was sorted within a few hours. We will definitely visit again.

We had a nice stay.
The stay was nice and we had a good time. However, there are a few things that could use attention that weren't right. I list it briefly: Fan in living room not working. Fan in main room cord very unsafe! Light in the main room plug does not wake up nicely. Showerhead sprays in all directions and definitely needs attention. There were dirty wet towels in room with two single beds behind the door. The dishes such as pans are already a bit old. The road is very steep down to the cottage which feels a bit dangerous. Despite everything that was wrong, we still had a great stay and would stay there again.

It was not very welcoming - minimal facilities.
We weren't welcomed by reception - our room number was just written on a sign, the door was open and we could just walk in. We were not told in advance that there would be no lighters to make a fire - we were not told in advance that one could not drink the water from the taps, that one would have to buy water. The numbers left to call no one answered. So no, I wouldn't recommend the place for people to stay, it's down in the mountains, if you have to drive to buy things it's a long way from town and amenities.

Mackers was very calm and quiet. The river in the background while grilling a piece of meat is just what you're looking for away from the city's noise. Unit was neat and clean.

The tent camp was very neat and well equipped. The ablution facilities are also very neat and clean. Owners, Ryan and Michelle, were very friendly and helpful. It was wonderful to stay like this on the banks of the Sabie River and enjoy the tranquility of the surroundings. Would definitely want to go again. It was unforgettable!

Peaceful and felt at home.
I would suggest that the branches of the trees by the cottages be cut. It was very difficult to sleep those 2 nights with the branches that kept scratching. It would be a good idea when guests stay for more than one night that somebody checks up on them to make sure that everything is alright.

We were so impressed by the tranquility of the accommodation. We departed with heavy hearts. The interest that the owner and his wife's showed and their friendliness was appreciated, since there aren't many who offer customers this these days. My husband and I score Macker River Bend 180 out of 100!

My absolute favourite.
Definitely my favourite accommodation out of all of the places we stayed at during our 2 week road trip through South Africa. The unit is beautiful with comfortable furniture and it is equipped with everything that you need. The owners are very friendly and helpful. They even have paramedics on stand by for guests if there are any incidents. We really enjoyed our time there and I have already recommended the place. I am definitely spending a week here on my next holiday. They are exceptional.

Hi, there are not many places that you stay for 1 night where you will get to meet the owner. You were seen in by a staff member on arrival. If you had stayed longer we would have met you the next morning. As far as safety goes we have 2 guards on duty and each cottage is alarmed. If you try some of the other lodges in the area we have 1 of the best roads in.
Thanks for the feedback.

It was absolutely fantastic, wonderful, quiet and peaceful.
We enjoyed our accommodation very much. The units are well-equipped with everything you need. Ryan went out of his way to make sure everything is in order and that we had everything we needed. The area is relaxed and quiet, and you can totally relax. If you don't get too lazy there are beautiful walking trails that you can follow. While we were there we had a medical emergency and Ryan even helped us with this - Mackers provides paramedic services to guests free of charge! I could just call the emergency number and trained paramedics were quickly there to help us. They also arranged an ambulance and accompanied us to Nelspruit untill we got to where the ambulance waited for us at the side of the road. Ryan also tended to us personally when he became aware of the situation and made sure the unit was locked securely and when we returned in the early hours I immediately got an SMS from him to hear what the problem was and if everything was OK - a sign that he cares about his guests' well-being. We will definitely call again.
