The Sanctuary in Mabalingwe Nature Reserve

Excellent property with lots of activities for the kids

This was the most magnificent place! Such attention to detail! We absolutely loved our stay. 🩷

It’s a gorgeous property in a peaceful part of greater Mabalingwe reserve. The farm manager was friendly warm and professional throughout. The cleaning staff were great, on time and well managed. The house is well appointed and high quality furniture throughout. We were there during a particularly hot weekend and though I enjoy an aircon which the property didn’t have, I felt the house wasn’t overly hot with the thatched roof. We saw loads of animals and the game drive was a particular highlight. Thank you for hosting us.

If you want to be neared to the action of a restaurant and bar this won’t work for you. We cooked our own meals at night and enjoyed the african night sounds.

It was beautiful and tranquil as soon as u stepped in with the beautiful patio shown.

No complains

The sanctuary had everything we needed, including some fun activities like badminton for the kids. The house & pool were all very clean & the helpers very friendly. Cherime was a fantastic game guide & host, she made us feel very welcome & made our stay very easy!

We had the most incredible stay at this bush lodge. The serenity of the surroundings instantly put us at ease, and the abundance of bird life made each morning feel truly special. It’s one of those rare places that feels almost magical — peaceful, beautiful, and full of character. If you’re looking for a place to unwind, reconnect with nature, and soak in genuine tranquility, I can’t recommend this lodge highly enough. An unforgettable experience from start to finish.
