The accommodation is old and run down. The bathrooms are in a bad condition, the bathtub in our unit was stained with black marks/dirt. Cleaning of units is well managed. There are no cleaning services on a Sunday. Our unit had droppings from the thatch part of the roof drop all over dining table and lounge sets. The Bar area furniture is old and faded. The resort is also not equipped for loadshedding in the units.

Don’t be fooled by the lovely photos on the website when you are looking at this place. Unfortunately I made the booking based on that. The one star is only because the grounds and gardens are well taken care of. We stayed in the self catering units (49 B) - River view. Of course many years ago you might have been able to see the River but not anymore. The reception staff is the rudest I have ever encountered! The pool was full of algae, bedding and towels definately not washed (disgusting brown marks on towels), lumpy terrible duvet, toaster that kept tripping the electricity, patio railings were painted with a very strong smelling tar - which prevented us sitting outside on patio, in very humid, hot conditions - air conditioning remotes not working, dripping air conditioner that dripped on my iPad laying on bedside table, and then worst of all - 12 hours from 24 - ABSOLUTELY NO ELECTRICITY!!! Not even Wi-Fi signal. As international travelers we absolutely rely on Wi-Fi. Candles are provided - but not even a candle holder. We booked and paid for a 7 night stay - but left after 3 nights (wanted to leave after the first night but was having difficulty in obtaining other suitable accommodation. So - to conclude: if you want a stressful, terrible holiday - this place is for you!

Maybe it was the timing of our visit; perhaps we simply had different expectations based on word-of-mouth/website... Anyway, there was certainly nothing "wrong" with our visit - besides the price - and 'Sanbonani' has plenty on offer including: huge swimming area, tennis courts, a small but functional indoor gym, pool table/billiards, nice quiet location, lush & beautiful grounds, but it just didn't feel worth it. Our "luxury ensuite room" felt a little 'worn'/aged, and the air-con made noise all night. The bed was comfortable, but made a terrible 'cracking' noise every time one of us rolled over! Breakfast was fine, though they attempted to charge us for coffee on the second morning, even though we had paid 'bed and breakfast' rates! Alas, a good location very proximal to Phabeni Gate at Kruger, kind staff, and the fact that you're staying minutes from Kruger National Park all make it worth it.

Frontline reception staff had no authority to take any decisions. Room had bathing water that was running hot and then cold. We requested the staff to correct it but nothing was done about it. Food was of a sub optimal standard with very limited options. We were overcharged for the service we got. I would not recommend Sanbonani to international tourists, specifically from a “value for money” perspective.

Excellent Stay
My stay was excellent overall. The only area where I think it needs a bit of focus is the restaurant/food! That really fell below my expectations.

Poor guest care
The accommodations were very nice. Unfortunately there were daily electricity outages. The resort made no effort for guests to be cared for during outages, which happened three times a day for a minimum of 2 hours at a time. Everything is electric. Foreigners are not accustomed to these problems and are stranded in the dark with no resources. The resort needs to find a way to care for their guests during outages.

The Hotel is a true hidden gem in Hazyview. Easy access from the main road. The pools are very clean,the buffet hits the spot,spacious bedrooms, excellent room service, refreshing views of Sabie river from the patio. Air conditoners keep the rooms very cool during the hot evenings. The Braai area is big enough to barbecue for a whole family. The kitchen has all the things you need to feel at home.
