Our stay at Summerfield Hotel was truly delightful. The tented rooms were both comfortable and well-equipped, providing everything we needed for a relaxing experience. The staff were incredibly warm, friendly, and attentive, which added to the charm of our visit. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time and would happily return.
The photos dont do this property justice. secluded and quite with the sabie river running along side the villas and restaurants its just paradise. We stayed in the family Villa and it was breathtaking. The whole family went to the spa and had messages whilst listening to the river running by. it was the perfect way to end our trip to Kruger with some luxurious R&R.
Our stay at Summerfields was so special and unique. The property is small with few guests and a beautiful environment to unwind. The staff is helpful, available but not in the way. The food was fantastic at the restaurant and able to accommodate our gluten free and vegan requests.
I did not know what to expect but it lived up to expectations. Keep in mind, the lodging is in a tent style, but still luxury. I was able to bath open air while listening and viewing the forest and Sabie river from my room. The staff went above and beyond to make me comfortable. I had issues with the wifi, but the manager ensured someone was out the next day to fix it. I’m also a vegetarian and the manager created a whole menu just for me. That was very thoughtful. A few mornings I left early and the breakfast pack they give you is amazing! The treatment was also wonderful. I ended up falling asleep since the roaring river was right next to me. The grounds are very beautiful and if I’m ever in the Kruger area again, I will book here but this time with my fiance since it is very couple oriented.
This property is beautiful... like no other! It's a lovely setting on the Sabie River, with an amazing staff and wonderful chef! And the massages are pure bliss! :) We will be back!!
We arrived just as it was about to start raining. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Lunch in the River Cafe was quick and delicious and then we went for our Spa treatment. The heavens opened just as our treatment began, and it was so relaxing hearing the rain drop down on the canvas while we were having one of our best treatments ever. Our room was just as per the fotos, beautiful, with exceptional quality linen. We also spent some quality time in the bath overlooking the forest. This was glamping at its best. We will definately be back again.
Tranquility to the max. Rooms are clean, spacious, welcoming and not to mention the view. Had the best time there and the massages, food and experiences are amazing. Do not miss out on this paradise gem!
The place is amazing ...
However I had a emergency & asked to postpone they said no... & arrived on Friday late night & had to leave on Sunday morning although we were booked till Monday & they charged us for an extra person & was not willing to postpone or refund for extra person ... I think that was very inconsiderate of them considering it was genuine emergency.... my best friend passed away... & Managment was so inconsiderate & only concerned about business & the loss they were going to make 😧😏
It’s really the most beautiful farm in a very special setting by the river ,amongst the plants and undergrowth is almost like being in a wonderland setting ,sunlight and peacefulness with only the sounds of running waters and the birds ,so relaxing and far away from city life ,truly a very special place .
One of the best hotels we ever got to stay with the most amazing Staff, that turned our whole experience into one of the best trips of our lives.
Huge thanks to Mr Sean and all his team for such an amazing environment!

A good location next to the river and some of the staff were excellent, especially the security guys who made us feel very welcome. The tents are relatively close, as a base, to the Kruger National Park.
Beautiful estate with macadamia and lychee trees. Staff is very attentive walking you to and from your tents. Richard the manager is passionate and very involved with the estate. The tents are right on the water and the sounds of the stream soothe you to sleep. You can watch a family of hippos right at the pool area. The food at the cafe and restaurant are amazing, the restaurant feels like your in southern France, it deserves a Michelin star. Roses are everywhere, and the scents are incorporated interesting the bath salts, shampoos and soaps, spas oils, and food. The spa is incredible, we did a coffee exfoliation and aromatherapy massage. You can do a 5k walk around the estate to see the farm and Rose garden, we saw a small croc too. The resort is 5 minute drive to hazyview stores and 15 min to phabeni gate in kruger. Overall amazing resort, can’t wait to be back!
Beautiful, restful, quiet and restorative. A place to unwind and reconnect with yourself. A small piece of heaven. The deep silence can actually be felt. At night it is utterly dark and quiet, except for the sounds of nature, enabling deep sleep. One wakes to the sound of birds and the river. Day trips into Kruger Park are easily arranged. Spa treatments abound. The food is glorious. I can’t imagine a more perfect place to restore the soul.

All the dishes were salty
For going to Elephant Sanctuary in Hazyview, we stayed at this hotel nearby. We spend a night at sweet villa, it was nice. However, insects such as mosquitoes came in the room as it is in nature. Even though we had already paid to Hotel.com at checkout, the hotel staff was saying that we had paid only a deposit and we should pay rest of the amount. So we try to show a confirmation number from Hotel.com and to call Hotel.com to make sure. Shortly thereafter, the staff said that without calling, that is no problem. ??? I wondered what exactly this checkout interaction was. We thought the hotel has to have a solid management of payment.
All the dishes were salty in the hotel restaurant
Apesar de não ter muito o que fazer no resort, o quarto é lindíssimo, confortável e luxuoso. Ideal para casais que queiram descansar da correria do dia a dia. A piscina é bem pequena e eatava meio suja no dia que fui,mas a Infraestrutura é excelente, a comida impecável além de um atendimento personalizado. Pedi para fazer massagem depois do horário disponível e o gerente (que tb era massoterapeuta) rapidamente se prontificou em fazê-la. O único problema é o sinal de internet que só pega na recepção.
Best stay ever. The pictures on the website are a true reflection of the actual place, and the service was spectacular. Very kind staff, and always available to assist when needed.
Incredible luxury tents on river outdoor baths tub
