N rustige en salige verblyf. Die mooiste uitsigte.

Dit was 'n fantastiese ervaring. Met sneeu as 'n bonus. Gareth was a perfect host. Hy het selfs vir ons die kragopwekker aangeskakel om 23:00 sodat ons rugby kon kyk. Nie sy skuld dat Eskom krag af was a.g.v. 'n sneeustorm nie.

A peaceful and blissful stay. The most beautiful views.

It was a fantastic experience. With snow as a bonus. Gareth was a perfect host. He even switched on the generator for us at 23:00 so we could watch rugby. Not his fault that Eskom was out of power due to not a snowstorm.

Dit was lekker.

Ons het lekker gebly, die enigste klein dingetjie was dat die hout wat hulle vir die kaggel voorsien het, nog nat was en het gesukkel om te brand.

It was nice.

We had a great stay, the only small thing was that the wood they provided for the fireplace was still wet and struggled to burn.

Wonderlike wegbreek.

Sani Valley Lodge is 'n prentjiemooi plek om weg te breek van die alledaagse. Die huisies is baie privaat en het elke denkbare item wat nodig mag wees vir 'n perfekte ruskans. Die ontbyte is heerlik en die opsionele selfrybootritte was 'n groot bonus. Silindile is die beste host waarvoor mens ooit kan vra.

Wonderful getaway.

Sani Valley Lodge is a picture perfect place to break away from the everyday. The cottages are very private and have every conceivable item that could be needed for a perfect rest. The breakfasts are delicious and the optional self drive boat trips were a huge bonus. Silindile is the best host one could ever ask for.

Ongelooflike uitsig en natuurskoon.

Stil en afgeleë. Ideaal vir 'n Sanipas-uitstappie. Wonderlike beddegoed en dit is bo-aan my lys van belangrikheid. Kort opknapping en aanvulling van basiese items soos 'n braaitang. Alles werk, storte wasbakke, ens. is net al 'n paar jaar oud.

Incredible view and scenery.

Quiet and remote. Ideal for a Sanipas excursion. Great bedding and this is at the top of my list of importance. Short renovation and replenishment of basic items such as tongs. Everything works, showers, sinks, etc. is only a few years old.

Great location close to hiking and other activities in the berg.

Beautiful views and well-equipped and beautifully decorated accommodation. There are paths for hiking and MTB on the premises and canoes to use free of charge on the dam. They are located next to Sani lodge, where there is a variety of hiking trails. I thought the unit could have been cleaner (the extractor fan was sticky-dirty), but on the surface, everything was well looked after.

Beautiful, tranquil location with great amenities!

A secluded destination in a wonderful chalet (Early Mist). Catered dinners were great! Unfortunately it rained the full 2 days we were there but the fireplace and wood supplied, underfloor heating and electric blankets made it so comfortable. The outside jacuzzi struggled to heat up properly in the cold temperatures and the road out after the heavy rains damaged our car a bit but still a highly recommended stay.

Lovely nature and scenery, disappointed in the accommodation.

The scenery and surroundings are beautiful. The cleanliness and neatness is definitely not 4-star as advertised. Towels were old and ragged, oven and extractor hob very dirty, showers need some mold treatment, carpet in main living area need replacement. Not value for money compared to the price charged.

Wonderskone ligging en uiters ruim verblyf.

Die grond/modderpad vanaf die teerpad tot by ons eenheid was weens die reën en omdat dit blykbaar jare laas geskraap is, in 'n uiters swak toestand. Maar toe ons by die eenheid kom en sien hoe mooi geleë dit is, was die stres van die pad vergete. Die ligging tussen die heuwels en berge en langs 'n meer is onverbeterlik. Die sebras en bokke wat rondom wei asook die watervoëls skep 'n wonderlike, natuurlike atmosfeer. Ons eenheid was heerlik ruim met oorgenoeg plek om ons bagasie uit te pak. Dis perfek toegerus met alles wat 'n mens kan nodig kry, en die hout vir die kaggel word elke oggend aangevul. Die plek was nie silwerskoon nie, en ek moes my net keer om die swart aanpaksel tussen die teëls af te skrop, maar as dit aandag kan kry, sal ek die lodge volpunte gee.

Wonderful location and extremely spacious accommodation.

The dirt/mud road from the tarmac to our unit was in extremely poor condition due to the rain and because it had apparently not been scraped for years. But when we got to the unit and saw how beautifully situated it was, the stress of the road was forgotten. The location between the hills and mountains and next to a lake is unbeatable. The zebras and goats that graze around as well as the waterfowl create a wonderful, natural atmosphere. Our unit was wonderfully spacious with plenty of room to unpack our luggage. It is perfectly equipped with everything one could need, and the wood for the fireplace is replenished every morning. The place wasn't spotless, and I just had to stop myself from scrubbing off the black tack between the tiles, but if it could get some attention, I'd give the lodge full marks.

Pragtige plek, uitstekende geriewe en 'n baie hulpvaardige eienaar en personeel.

Ons het ons drie dae by Sani Valley Lodge terdeë geniet. Daar is regtig niks waaroor ons kan kla nie. Die verblyf is van hoogstaande gehalte, die uitsig pragtig en die eienaar, Gareth, het absoluut uit sy pad gegaan om dinge aangenaam te maak. Die ontbyt was uitstekend en ons het besluit om aandetes daar te geniet (afgelewer in die chalet) eerder as om elders heen te ry. Dit was die regte besluit. Die gebraaide hoender, beesstert en die hoender-kerrie was uitstekend ten opsigte van gehalte en prys. Ons kan nie wag om weer soontoe te gaan nie. Dis hoogs aan te bevele.

Beautiful place, excellent facilities and a very helpful owner and staff.

We thoroughly enjoyed our three days at Sani Valley Lodge. There is really nothing we can complain about. The accommodation is of a high standard, the view beautiful and the owner, Gareth, went absolutely out of his way to make things pleasant. The breakfast was excellent and we decided to enjoy dinner there (delivered to the chalet) rather than drive elsewhere. It was the right decision. The fried chicken, oxtail and the chicken curry were excellent in terms of quality and price. We can't wait to go there again. It is highly recommended.

Our stay at Sani Valley was first class.

The scenery was magnificent, the staff were very friendly and helpful! The fishing was very difficult, maybe just the time of year. Will definitely go back!

Beste plek waar ek al was in my lewe.

Dit is 'n plek waar mens in 'n dag voel of mens 'n week rus. Foto's kan dit nie beskryf nie. Dit lyk 100 keer beter as die advertensie. Ek hoop om in my lewe nog 'n klomp keer daar te gaan kuier. Baie dankie vir als.

Best place I've ever been in my life.

It is a place where one feels in a day or one rests for a week. Pictures can't describe it. It looks 100 times better than the ad. I hope to visit there many more times in my life. Thank you very much for everything.

An amazing bush experience in the Drakensberg.

Loved waking up to the panoramic view of the sun glimmer on the lake with surrounding mountains with Zebras and antelope grazing close by. During the day the sight and sound of many birds but particularly fish eagle and at night jackals. We did a horse ride which we loved - wish we had booked longer as so much to do at Sani Valley Lodge.
