“GREAT family holiday spot”

This place is brilliant for families. We nailed it perfect timing over New Years, and the vibe, staff, ambience and general atmosphere was unreal. It's really a special place if you looking for easy, simple, beautiful resort with large grounds. We loved every moment.

“Ideal family destination.”

Always a treat for young and old. Plenty of activities snd sparkling swimming pools. Any children in the party can play and explore safely. The chalets are wellvappointed and serviced daily. The grounds were in excellent condition making long leisurely walks a joy.

“A beautiful and relaxing resort”

It was my first time at this resort although I have been going to Hazyview for over 30 years. It is a beautiful resort. It was a 2 bedroom for 6. Two bedrooms off the living room, a bedroom with two single beds upstairs. The master bedroom had a one suite bathroom, and a second bathroom between the other two rooms. The unit was spotlessly clean, and it had a well stocked kitchen. The outside space was really big, with a large table, a big barbecue area and two sun lounges. The staff were friendly and helpful at all times. We have stayed in many timeshare resorts in this area but we will definitely be back to this one. It is close to all the local tourist places, the Kruger Park only 20 minutes down the road, God’s Window, Mac Mac Fall’s, Grasscop. Sarbi, and many more places a pleasant drive away. It is very quiet, the grass cutter is out early most mornings but to keep the resort in the excellent condition it is in takes a lot of maintenance. If you have never visited this resort it is well worth a visit.

“Lovely Location, Friendly Staff, and a Spa You Should Definitely Skip”

We travelled to Sabi River Sun for the first time during week 50 in December. The resort’s convenient location makes it very attractive. There are lovely malls within a few kilometres, the gate to Kruger National Park is about 30 minutes away, and there is easy access to the Panorama Route. From check-in to check-out, special mention must go to the staff. Overall, they are absolutely pleasant, friendly, and helpful. That said, the maintenance team needs to be more efficient. When we arrived at our unit (41), the Wi-Fi was not working, and it took numerous calls and a fair amount of frustration to finally have it resolved — three days later. Teens without Wi-Fi is a real problem. The unit itself is well laid out. The air fryer and dishwasher are welcome additions, and the fan and light at the braai area show that careful consideration was given to practicality, even down to the smallest touches. What was really impressive is that Checkers Sixty60 delivers directly to your unit. This is extremely convenient, especially considering that the small store at the resort is quite basic and expensive. Unfortunately, we experienced a few rainy days, which meant there wasn’t much to do entertainment-wise. When the sun is out, however, the team at the main pool area does a great job — lots of fun for everyone. In the evenings, though, there is very little to do after sunset, and this is an area that could be improved. Perhaps options such as a comedy show, pop-up market, or a “movie under the stars” night could be introduced, as is done at other Southern Sun resorts like Umhlanga Sands. The resort is clearly geared toward golfers, which may be the target market, but there were also many families with younger children. I would strongly suggest avoiding the spa and rather exploring other spa options in the area. The spa staff were quite inexperienced when it came to massages, with poor etiquette (long nails and rough hands), and the treatments felt very rushed. The owner was also rather defensive when faced with negative feedback. In hindsight, we should have taken heed of the poor reviews and gone elsewhere. Another suggestion would be to introduce bicycle hire or make golf carts available for guests. The resort is vast and beautifully laid out, but besides walking, there are no other options for getting around. This could be challenging for families with younger children or elderly guests. Overall, this is a lovely, well-kept, and child-friendly resort. The padel courts are a welcome addition, and the self-catering setup — combined with Checkers Sixty60 delivery — is a definite highlight. The friendly staff truly enhance the experience, and the front desk team is excellent when it comes to providing information about surrounding areas and tourist attractions. Be sure to chat with them before venturing out — they gave us great tips for the Panorama Route and were very helpful with advice for our self-drive trip into Kruger National Park.
