"We love nature, so we really loved all the trees and the birds that's singing almost the whole day!! AND it's close to our grandchildren to come for a day to swim and visit us."
"The blankets were dirty no toilet papers in the toilets. They need spray for ."
"Pest controlBetter sitting outside as the umbrella stop was missing"

"Quite place and yes we had our privacy which I prefer, wish there was a TV though, but I would definitely go back"
"We had a lovely stay. The view of the mountain/tree farms is amazing. Pity the main road is so close. But we really enjoyed it and will return again."
"The quiet surroundings and cleanliness would be nice to have shower"
"Lovely little nest friendly helpful people. Will definitely stay here again."
"We spent a weekend near Sabie, the chalet was neat, clean and tidy. Beautiful well kept surroundings."
"Love the place will visit again"
"Nice stay overall. Thanks"
"Great view of the mountains. Complete quiet and serenity. Great service with room service everyday. It was a great value for money."
"Fantastic!! Incredible value for money and so clean! In fact, cleaner than most 4 and 5 star places. Very helpful, Jaques went out of his way to make the stay comfortable. Also situated perfectly to see the top highlights of the area. Will be back"
"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"
"Poor maintenance on units and full of Black Widow spiders.No TV, no aircon, no insect repellent, not worth the tariff."
"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"
"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."
"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. 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."
"The boys (10&14) and I had a wonderful stay! Thank you!"
"Thanks for great facilities. Will make use of it again in future."
"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!"
