Keep up the good work. "

"The rooms are spacious and clean. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need.
The scenery is refreshing in the morning and evenings.
Great location with attention to personal service."

"The log cabins were clean, neat and cozy. The scenery was beautiful and breathtaking. Really enjoyed my stay."

"Just got home from a wonderful three night getaway at Bananien Lodge. The lodge was warm, clean, cosy and centrally located which made it easy to do day trips to all the wonderful natural attractions. We loved the fact that the cell phone signal wasn't great and that there was no TV as we bonded as a family with our two teenage girls. We will definitely be back!"

"I loved the serenity and peace of the place. The stove can was a bit annoying as it switched off every time it went over a certain temperature. It took me two hours to fry 1 dozen samosas. "

"It was very good for people who want to be off the grid for a while"

"Pragtige plek! Vriendelike mense met baie kennis van die aktiwiteite in die omgewing! Chalet het alles wat mens nodig het. Perfekte plek om te bly om rustig te ontspan na 'n besige dag in en om Sabie!"

"Wow!!! I have never experienced peace of mind as the one I experienced at this wonderful lodge. The tranquillity offered by the environment, andhospitality from Maggie and her family was awesome. Thanks for the pleasant stay Bananien lodge"

"Very nice place its quiet. Thanks to Marni and Jaques for making it a very pleasant stay.They are very friendly and helped a lot with where to go.

Just needs a jungle gym thats all. But overall stunning little house. Thank you Bananien lodge. See you again next year."

"What a fabulous, restful and peaceful experience. We will definitely be returning soon."

"We spent only a weekend but would definitely love to come back for a week! Nice environment to just sit and be with mother nature."

"Basically all you need to relax."

"We had a wonderful stay at the lodge, the rooms were neat and clean. Our hosts Pieter, Maggie and Jacques were all very welcoming. We will be back here again the next time we holiday in Sabie."

"We spent four days in a lovely, well-equipped log cabin next to the swimming pool, in a beautiful forest setting. Highly recommended, we would definitely stay again."

"I really had a nice time. I did like the place. It's peaceful and quiet."

"The lodge had beutiful surroundings, this is a well developed resort."

"The place is very well located in a green park with a lot of space and the lodges are also comfortable. We were a little bit disappointed that the pool was not clean. After a long day on the road we expected to relax in the fresh water."

"We were welcomed and well accommodated at Bananien. The setting is lovely and the nature amazing. The units themselves are tired and in need of an upgrade. The kitchen is tiny ! That said, the atmosphere is great and we enjoyed our stay."

"We where there for the annual Sabie Experience. So our stay was about getting up at 5am out by 6am and only back at 4pm eat, out for the race briefing and back to sleep at 9pm. Not quite the holiday fib we where going for.

"We where there for the annual Sabie Experience. So our stay was about getting up at 5am out by 6am and only back at 4pm eat, out for the race briefing and back to sleep at 9pm. Not quite the holiday fib we where going for.

All we ask is for quite clean space where we can make food and sleep and the what is gr8 of the other places like Mary Pebbles is that they have a place to wash the bikes after each day. As maintenance is very important this is a nice feature that we did not have.

Over all we where happy with what we got. "

"Met ons aankoms was ons regtig vriendelik ontvang. Die bly plek is uitstekend. Ons het vir die motor fiets rally daar oornag en is deur die eienaar met goeie raad voorsien aangaande die omgewing. Baie dankie vir julle. Sal weer van julle gebruik maak in die toekoms.

"The boys (10&14) and I had a wonderful stay! Thank you!"

"Thanks for great facilities. Will make use of it again in future."

"Beeeaautiful!!!!!!!?????"

"My boyfriend and I came for a quiet weekend away, it is very nice there to be in the mountains away from traffic and everything else. It is nice to see places that went back into history and know that you have been there. It is a nice place to go just to have peace and quiet especially when you come..."

"A pleasant stay in a beautiful setting. Very romantic and moodily, the owner is an instant friend and very helpful.

We can recommend it without hesitation and will make use of this lodge again in the future!

The recent fires in Sabie did not damage the lodge and is remains picturesque...."

"Very basic rustic small log cabins set in a charming garden on the road between Sabie and Hazyview...expect some road noise. Well situated for touring the Panaroma and Kruger Park. Don't forget to bring your own bath and swimming towels."

"Great location, relaxed ambiance and great company is a great recipe for a good time. To anybody looking for an escape from the city at an affordable rate, this is the place to be. Thank you for a wonderful weekend.

Will definitely recommend Bananien Lodge to everybody."

"The lodge was cosy and everyone was friendly - we thought it was a central location to see all we wanted to see - e.g Pilgroms rest, Gods window, macmac, lisbon falls etc

There was a little noise from the road. But in general it was comfortable and what we needed. ThankS!"

"Our stay at Basnaniem Lodge was excellent. We really enjoyed the comfortable lodge's clean environment and the friendliness of all the staff. I would suggest Baninien Lodge as a base for the Mpumalanga region to anyone. We are planning our next trip already.

Thanks again"

"The Lodge was way better than we expected it to be.

We were very well attended by Jack and the place is very well taken care of.

I would recommend it any time.

"We enjoyed the quiet surroundings and the sound of the water in the river. A special thanks to Jacque, Maggie & Pieter. When in the area we will use the lodge again and will recommend to friends. If possible a microwave oven should be available in the cabins. "

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the service was outstanding. Extremely firendly and welcoming hosts. Will definitely be coming back."

"The lodges are in the most beautiful surroundings, well hidden from the road - which made finding it fun! The cabins are well decorated with very comfy beds.

"The lodges are in the most beautiful surroundings, well hidden from the road - which made finding it fun! The cabins are well decorated with very comfy beds. We arrived way too early, and Maggie let us stay and use the pool until our rooms were ready, which was so nice. There is so much to see in the surrounding areas, and this made for a great base. For our first 2 nights in South Afirca -this lovely accommodation set the standard for everywhere else to meet. Will definitely stay here again when we come to SA next."

"Brilliant lodge - well equipped. Will definitely go back at every opportunity. Beautiful setting and garden. Little touches like the Steiner Services hygene products were excellent. Comfortable beds - we loved it!"

"The lodges are very clean and neat and the scenery amazing and peaceful. We really enjoyed our stay. It is quite central for sightseeing. Just some little things to consider. When you think of a lodge you would expect tea and coffee to be available. Just enough for the period of your stay for the morning. Hand soap would be a nice to have. I do understand that people steal the towels and if that is the case then charge them a deposit for the towels payable back to the person if towels are still on the premises. Maggie was very friendly and accommodating. We will be back"

"It was a lovely break from Johannesburg. We were well received and accommodation was adequate for our family. The facilities offered were clean and well looked after. We enjoyed our stay and it was wonderful to explore the Sabie area."

"My stay was absolutely blissful! The room was neat and clean. It was close enough to all the tourist attractions, god window etc"

"Family and I stayed at Bananien Lodge for 4 days recently and wish to fully recommend it. From the reception to the final farewell we really enjoyed our stay.

"Bungalow was very neat and tidy. I would just suggest that the lodge must supply their bungalows with bath Towels. The service was excellent."
