My husband and I recently had a weekend at Sani Valley Lodge in one of the Early Mist chalets. Although we were unlucky with the weather, continual rain, we had a relaxing weekend in absolute luxury! The chalets are beautifully appointed and we could enjoy a roaring fire, hot jacuzzi and their complimentary sherry! The staff are friendly, cheerful and... More

We stayed at Sani Lodge end of March. My husband does fly fishing, was very relaxing, my daughters loved the animal farm, the bushman lodge is the best, beautiful views, the fireplace is stunning. The self catering has everything, beautiful glasses, like a mini hotel, the furniture is modern and very comfortable. The lady's set the table every night for... More

Spent the past Valentines weekend there with my wife where we stayed in the Sunset lodge which is three three self contained flats in one cabin. However everything about it was great! We decided on the self catered option, but that was not an issue as the kitchen was fully equipped! Even when there was a slight problem it was... More

My wife and I recently stayed at Sani Valley Lodge. From the outset Gareth and his team could not have been more accomodating and helpful. The setting of the lodges ( we stayed in Sunset) is truely amazing. The decor, cleanliness, food, service and overall standards were beyond expectations, I have to say. The fishing was great and we were... More

We spent 2 nights in Lakeside Lodge 1 which is perfect for a couple on their own or with a child as a spare bed is provided. The lodge is beautiful and has everything you would need to make your stay more than comfortable. The lodge is double story with a bathroom (just a basin and toilet), kitchen with pantry... More

I have stayed at Sani Valley Lodge on a number of occasions and have always had a memorable experience. It is one of the truly beautiful destinations in South Africa. From my wedding being held there a year ago, to various fishing trips, to weekends with just my wife; the friendliness and efficiency of the staff, the accomodation and surrounding... More

We stayed in Lakeside Lodge 3 for three nights in October 2012. The surrounding scenery and lakeside setting is truly stunning...and the drive through the grounds is beautiful. On arrival (and throughout for that matter) we found the staff to be friendly and helpful however like other recent reviewers we were also disappointed with the standard of accommodation. The furniture... More

This was our second visit to Sani Valley lodge. The first we enjoyed very much, but I must say the standard has dropped quite a bit. We stayed in Lakeside 1. The chalet has a beautiful view over the lake and has a stunning bathroom. Unfortunately the entire chalet seemed neglected and dirty. Our stay included breakfast and dinner, which... More

Dear Laurette, I am not sure where to start with replying to this review. Obviously I need to start by apologizing to you for your terrible stay in our lodge. It doesn't do us much good trying to dispute anything you have said as I was unaware of it at the time and having happened in July I honestly can't... More

We stayed in a Lakeside-chalet. Beautifull setting and I can see that once upon a time it was very classy. But sadly not anymore. The chalet was extremely dirty and rundown. I took pictures if the owners/ manager are interested. Even the washcloth was torn and dirty. One towel had a septic stain on it. The windows were last cleaned... More

My husband and I stayed in a lakeside lodge for 4 nights during the first week of October. The setting is very beautiful, the unit is luxurious and it is a place to relax. We enjoyed that very much and it is peaceful and quiet with lovely bird life and a lot of game grazing around the dams. The lakeside... More
