Summerfields Rose Retreat & Spa is a stylish and sophisticated boutique property located on the banks of the Sabie River. The 12 safari-style luxury tents all feature en suite bathrooms and viewing decks with either forest or river views. The luxury tents also have outside baths and private wooden walkways.
The property has a highly regarded onsite spa (pre-booking is advised) as well as two restaurants and a bar. The swimming pool overlooks the river, where hippo and crocodile can often be seen when the water is high enough.
The Summerfields estate grows a wide variety of fruit as well as macadamia nuts. Much of this produce can be found served in the restaurant.
OUR OPINION:
Summerfields combines the feeling of being on safari with elements of total relaxation. The luxuriously-styled bush tents have plenty of home comforts including air conditioning, power sockets, hair dryers, safes and fridges. Book a table for dinner on the deck at the Summerfields Kitchen (open Tuesday-Saturday) to enjoy creative and seasonal dishes.
