Overnight stop in Utopia in Africa Neilspruit

Great place to break up our trip returning to Joberg. The property is stunning and unique, extremely comfortable, quiet and such a peaceful garden. Patricia was really helpful and welcoming and ensured we knew where to go for food and how to get to different places. The breakfast was fantastic and the honesty bar enables you to have the refreshments you fancy whilst enjoying the garden. Absolutely loved being there.

Last week at our away home

Reviewed By Ian T

Its our last week at our retreat in the lowveld. Treated royally by the crew. Wish we could stay longer. Like all travel industry places here the lack of overseas visitors is not good. Come you foreigners you've had your jabs. This cosy friendly place so close to the Kruger is a must.

Wonderful central place in Mpumalanga

Reviewed By Moira L

We spent 4 nights at Sabi Star Chalets and found it to be very clean and comfortable. The hosst were very friendly and kept us updated via WhatsApp on load-shedding etc. Great TV channels and good wifi. The unit has everything we needed. We wouldn't have minded if the lounge chairs were a bit more comfortable - I think they definitely need replacing. But really not much else to fault. Loved our time there - quiet and beautiful.

We had a wonderful stay here. Nice rooms, very friendly people, beautiful surroundings but mostly we felt like being their guests. Waking up with the smell of fresh baked bread, having diner at a large table in the kitchen while the food is being prepared right in front of you. You can come here as couple, with friends or family or for a wedding.
