Half of the rooms overlook the breathtaking Sabie river and its wallowing hippos and the other half face the beautifully maintained gardens and swimming pool. Rooms deliberatly have no TV or telephone so guests can enjoy the incredible sounds of nature by the river, although guests can make calls from reception or watch TV in the hotel bar.

Hippo Hollow
The location was very convenient for touring the Panorama Route. "God's Window" was clouded in when we went to visit, but we were able to get up in the morning and drive back to see the beautiful view due to Hazyview being a close distance. We rented a two story loft. The upstairs loft didn't appear to have been cleaned in a long time. There were no screens on the windows and no mosquito nets. Insects weren't biting, but they were buzzing about. The back deck looking over the river did make the hotel worth staying at. There were hippos and a large number of birds we were able to view.

Shopping tip:
Short drive from hotel
We went to nearby grocery and liquor stores to buy supplies for dinner, so we could enjoy the view from our deck.
