113 guests' feedbackWe had a wonderful stay and really enjoyed the tranquility.
We had a nice stay.
Great and a wonderful getaway place.
Wonderful place, so peaceful, enjoyed the privacy and the cable from the river was amazingly beautiful and peaceful, I enjoyed playing with the dogs, that was a bonus. I would definitely like to stay longer.
Value for money, very good service.
We had a great time in the river cottage! Very homely feeling, the equipped kitchen is a great plus. Will go back again to play with the cute dogs!
Delicious adultery with friends.
Very pleasant and the owners are helpful.
The hosts were great, friendly and welcoming. Our room was large, there is a fully equipped communal kitchen, and the bed was comfy.
It was a very pleasant stay, although I never thought it is a house with rooms inside. I was under the impression it is a stand-alone unit.
Slept well, clean and tidy.
Very nice place, neat and clean, and very friendly service. Feel at home and safe.
Maybe we were a little tired from touring, but we didn't find the accommodation cozy. The host did not welcome us personally, but the maid was very hospitable. Our devices could only connect to the WiFi inside one of the wardrobes in the bedroom. The blue light lighting in the cottage together with the barbed wire above the bed creates an unpleasant feeling. Little conveniences like extra power points next to the bed for phone chargers or yellow light bulbs will go a long way. As I understand, cleaning services are already included in the price, so an extra envelope on the bed for this expense is a bit presumptuous. However, the garden and the river are breathtaking.
The stay was nothing short of amazing. My 2 toddlers loved the river and the dogs. We are definitely coming back. The host was super great and friendly; she even let our boys pat her horse. It was close to everything we wanted to see.
Our stay at Thandamanzi Self-catering was really nice! It was perfect for travelling in the area, along with great amenities to keep us busy when we were not exploring the next waterfall.
Friendly welcome. Sabie River flows in front of the houses. We could have a nice walk around. Cute and playful dogs. Large kitchen with enough amenities for everyone. Room is nice and big and tidy.
Wonderfully quiet and peaceful, conveniently located close to town, access control which makes it safe.
We were kindly received very late in the evening. If you like nature, you will really like the stream of water next to the rooms. There are friendly dogs that we had to entice with treats to come and sit with us - they are terribly sweet and did not want to come into the homes.
It is very peaceful and safe. Rooms are neat and clean.
Wonderfully close to nature, friendly reception, so peaceful and relaxing.
The place is neat and the decor cute and unique. The bed was very comfortable. Beautiful view from the porch, beautiful sunset photographed. Coffee facilities were available and a microwave oven. The particular room we booked could benefit from a bedside table for a coffee mug and mobile phone. The narrow porch could do with a small table/shelf for a coffee cup. However, we still had a great time on the stoepie.
Two friendly enthusiastic dogs were nice company.
The area is nice and quiet and safe, if you want to drive around and see waterfalls during the day.
This accommodation was used by me as a stopover on my journey but is comfortable enough for a stay if you want to explore the Sabie area. It offers all you need to do this.
Stayed one night and there were no problems, would be nice if each room had its own braai area and not shared with other guests.
It was a lifelong dream come true, we looked down on the river, the water brought a calmness to us, just what we needed after 10 years of hard work. Many thanks to everyone at Thandamanzi, we really had a great time, and will definitely come again.
Only spent the night there. Calm with the river a few meters from your porch.
See stars.

Very friendly, beautiful place and quit.
We enjoyed the owners' well behaved dogs and the relaxing atmosphere.
Warm welcome and fantastic setting. Very peaceful and relaxing with clean well-appointed accommodation and the river to drift one off to sleep. Well worth a visit and hoping to be back there in the near future.
If we had housekeeping every day it would have been helpful.
Clean and tidy. Lovely in the Lowveld.
Beautiful place just what the soul needed. Very safe, clean and tidy, would definitely recommend Thandamanzi. Close to all the tourist attractions in the lowlands from Graskop to the Kruger Wildlife Park. And incredibly friendly people. Thank you Martin, Gerda and Eziel, will definitely visit again. Ensure value for money.
Walking distance from town. Nice atmosphere. Karla solves little problems fast to make you happy. The room next to us had noisy youngsters and she gave us another room other side of the house.
It was bitterly cold. The most delicious, warm bedding available.
Very friendly and accommodating.
Would definitely use their accommodation again, it is also close to all places to visit in the area.
Wonderful place. The river creates a wonderful atmosphere. We will come back again any day!
Rooms were clean. Nice view. You only need to buy more plates and glasses, I think it's not enough for a large group like us.
Stayed here for 2 nights, basically just slept over. Room was spacious, bed very comfortable, and could cook in the kitchen. Very nice to be out of town for a bit. Will stay here again.
Tranquility by the river and the resident dog who entertained us with her "stone fish" that she takes out of the river.
Lovely place right on the river, nice to sit outside and grill meat and listen to the lapping water. Inside, everything is very neat and clean.
Very neat and nice location. Safe and quiet.
Beautiful view of the mountain. Very private and a nature and animal lover's dream.
Nice place to sleep and barbecue. Will recommend. Value for money.
Owners of Thandamanzi are awesome people. We will definitely go back again but we are bringing the whole family.
The hosts were very friendly, helpful and open, welcoming guests to explore the farm. The setting was beautiful, with the river attracting amazing birdlife. Excellent location from which to explore the beauty of the surrounding area.
Terribly friendly reception in a beautiful place to stay. The little river that rippled past in front of our accommodation was so soothing and relaxing. All the animals are a bonus. My grandson was carried away with the horses and sheep that he could feed apples by hand. Ducks and geese that walk right here right in front of you and the high point for the kids is the whoop, Lielie. She provided a lot of prestige entertainment, any child's best friend. This is an ideal place to get away for a family reunion. More than enough place to stay.
Wonderful stopover spot for us on our way to Kruger.
Great view and friendly hosts. Only stayed one night, but this will be our future stay over in Sabie.
Attention can be given to faucets in kitchen, very difficult to use. Upgrading in kitchen and bedroom would be good with hanging space and shelves in room. Bigger sink in bathroom please!
Nice place next to the Sabie River to just unpack and enjoy some peace and quiet. To sit next to the river and just listen to the running water is a bonus. Shower/basin needs a lot of attention to give it more privacy and the kitchen needs dishtowels and the layout/organisation needs better planning, please. Thanks.
Only stayed overnight and it was definitely worth it. No laundry soap in the bathroom was somewhat strange.
Kids loved playing at the river with the lodge dog.
The cabin with a mountain view could be better - curtains, floors and wardrobe need replacing and none of the cutlery and crockery matches. I got the feeling that the cabin was not a regular accommodation, almost as if it is a place to put things not needed. The view from the cabin is spectacular. Just wished the inside was not such a let down.
Very nice environment. Nice place to stay.
It was a wonderful, peaceful vacation stay.
The place is very neat and bigger than we expected. You have a nice little garden and a braai area. Beautiful view. Close to Lone Creek Falls and Bridal Veil Falls.
It's a very cute place. Nice to be around. It is close to everything and has the most beautiful view of the mountains.
The surroundings was beautiful and the sound of water falls.
We were in Sabie, had been more in town. We were able to park the vehicle on the grounds and immediately got the key to our accommodation and were able to go out with the agent to look at houses.
Oh, again the best place to stay Thank you very much for the hospitality and that we could stay with you again. We'll see you again soon
Friendly hosts and hostesses. Place is clean and tidy. Quiet and convenient. Will definitely stay there again.
Love to farm? Book your stay at Thandamamzi! The history of the farm is clearly visible everywhere with implements. Animals, horses, ducks, geese, chickens and you can swim in the river if you want and there are waterfalls within 15 km on the Panorama route.
Lily is a first class bodyguard.
Bed comfortable and very nice surroundings.
Very clean and tidy, very nice next to the river. Incredibly beautiful place
One can swim in the river and watch birds. It's very nice to be next to the river and hear the water.
Jule's cottage is very private and the river that runs in front of the cottage makes you feel very peaceful. Will definitely go and relax there again.
Unprofessional.
There was a smell that was not nice. It was like a place that was not being used for some time with no proper ventilation. I was sneezing all the time. The blankets were dark colours which I was not comfortable with. Black and grey/purple and black. Fitted sheet was maroon. Towels were very, very old and they looked like a fabric softener was never used. I understand that they can't have new towels all the time but those were worse.
Beautiful view over the beautiful garden and river. Very quiet, clean and tidy. It is relaxing and I would definitely stay at Thandamanzi again.
Beautiful place with a beautiful view! Owners are very nice and happy to help if needed. Will definitely stay here again.
Martin received us with a warm kindness, his service and hospitality we cannot put into words because it was excellent. Would recommend Thandamanzi anytime. Nice and quiet, clean and tidy.
It was so nice to spend the night here with the beautiful view of the large garden and the river. Bedroom is spacious and neat and everything is clean. The unit is on a plot and it really feels much nicer and quieter than in a town.
We had a very nice stay. Beautiful along the river. Big house. Nice room. Everything good. Want to go again.
Very good reception. Fully equipped unit. Great patio on the river bank. Ideal for your morning coffee. Peace and quiet.
Quiet place, nice view of the mountains.
Please add the tubing experience to the list of activities.
Nice clean and tidy place, can pay attention to beds and kitchen utensils, as well as extra braai space. Had to eat out one night because the other people used the braai, another night we had to make our own plan to make potjie on a gas bottle, because people wanted to braai. Maybe build an extra one or provide a Weber for the upstairs apartment. Kitchen had no tongs, pot, pan or anything specifically for cooking. Just bowls and plates and cups. Two single beds that make a king-size bed, but one bed sits higher than the other, so when you lie down, one person lies high and one low. Road is not well suited for a small car. Furthermore, the farm is beautiful and tidy.
I can recommend Thandamanzi.
We had a nice stay in the Cabin with a View, but not fully equipped for self-catering. The kitchen is impractical and cannot really cook much. The bedding can be replaced with new ones, the duvet is a bit frayed. We had to ask for their grills to be cleaned and trash thrown out. The view is beautiful and the braai facilities are wonderful.
Sorry we could only stay for 1 night, but the nature is beautiful, even saw how beautiful the moon rises and got to know new foreign people who were also guests.
What a beautiful place! We were so warmly welcomed and could play with animals, fish and hang out all afternoon! Almost as if you are with family on the farm! This is a pocket pass option for anyone who wants to stay in Sabie.
Although we only stayed for one night, we were welcomed very kindly and we enjoyed it very much. Everything was neat and clean. You feel relaxed right from the start with the beautiful view and the river that flows peacefully and then don't forget the rooster that woke us up early in the morning. Enjoyed it a lot. Will definitely go there again.
It was wonderful to stay like this in the silence by the river. Wonderful view from the veranda and the tranquility of the sound of the water in the river calms a turbulent mind.
Very nice, cosy place. Loved the animals and to swim in the river. Very friendly people, made you feel welcome. Will definitely go back there!
We had a great time. Would definitely recommend and stay there again.
A nice, peaceful stay next to the river. Everything was clean and neat. The kitchen and bathroom looks a bit old and dated.
I would recommend Thandamanzi anytime. It's quiet, clean and you feel at home there. Beautiful place and friendly people!
Had a nice stay and it was tranquil.
Excellent location and perfect accommodation! The host was really friendly and helpful. Everything was clean and well maintained. I love the garden and the view of the river. This place really is a piece of heaven! I will definitely return to stay at Thandamanzi.
Thandmanzi is an affordable and lovely place to stay when you are in Sabie. It is a neat and large farmhouse next to the Sabie River, which is perfect for a couple or even a large group of family or friends who wants to stay together and have a good time.
Beautiful place located next to the Sabie River. View is fantastic. The house is painfully neat and the service is great. We will definitely stay there again. Thanks also to LekkeSlaap for their great service and there is really nothing to complain about. Thank you.
So nice and Gerda and them were so kind! Will definitely be back and I already recommended the place to other people! Thanks so much for an unforgetable weekend! Just one remark maybe: check out is very early! You don't need 4 hours to get this little place ready for the next guests, do you? I reckon this time can be halved. Just to give guest 2 more hours to enjoy themselves.
Even though we only stayed one night here, it was so nice and peaceful, will definitely want to go again. The little apartment has everything one could need. Thank you very much Leonard for the warm welcome.
Warmly received and the host and hostess were very helpful. Beautiful garden where one can take a stroll.
See the stars.
It is in a beautiful setting and central to everything in the area.
The accommodation is comfortable with all amenities on hand, for a "home away from home" experience. The hosts are friendly and welcoming.
Wonderful stay, they met us despite Sabie having load shedding.
See stars.
Great reception and top notch accommodaton.
We enjoyed our stay very much. The people of the place were so nice and kept saying if something wasn't right to let us know. I enjoyed being able to read the history of the place. So precious! My boy is 2 years old. He really enjoyed nature and animals. His highlight when he was able to rub the hand lamb. Something for any type of person out there to appreciate. We enjoyed the tranquility so much! We will for sure go home there again. Thank you very much for recommending the place!
It was wonderful. I can recommend this establishment to anyone. Incredible view. Friendliest people. I immediately felt like family and I wouldn't think twice about visiting them again! It was like a little piece of heaven on earth.
Hospitality 10 out of 10! Absolutely value for money!
Friendly reception and well-equipped apartment. Rich history at the guest house. We enjoyed the stay very much.
