Summerfields Rose Retreat & Spa is a 5-star accommodation located in Hazyview, in the Blyde River Canyon region, approximately 12 km from Phabeni Gate of Kruger Park. The property combines luxury tent suites overlooking the Sabie River, an active working farm, and a spa centered around the rose theme.

Why stay here

• Luxury tent suites on the Sabie River's edge
• Multi-hectare farm (macadamia, lychee, passion fruit)
• Spa and restaurant built around the floral rose theme
• Strategic location between Panorama Route and Phabeni Gate of Kruger
• Cuisine supplied by the property's organic gardens

Atmosphere

The estate occupies a farm planted with macadamia and lychee trees and passion fruit bushes, crossed by the Sabie River. The place's identity rests on a deliberate choice: roses are everywhere—in the rooms, on the tables, in spa treatments, and even on the plates. Cut roses come from the property's garden, as do the organic vegetables served at the restaurant.

The atmosphere feels more like a country farm than a resort: century-old trees, paths through the orchards, and the sound of the Sabie River in the background.

Accommodation

The accommodation consists of luxury tent suites pitched in immediate proximity to the Sabie River. The concept combines the structure of a high-end room with canvas and openness to the immediate farm environment.

Dining and spa

River Café

The property's restaurant is reached via a forest walk and a stone bridge crossing the Sabie. From the terrace, it's common to spot or hear the river's hippopotamuses. River Café serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with a menu showcasing vegetables from the farm's organic gardens.

The rose spa

The spa menu is organized around the following treatments:

• Aromatherapy and reflexology
• Hand, foot, and scalp massage
• Facials, exfoliations, and body wraps
• Manicure and pedicure

Garden roses feature in several treatments, consistent with the house's overall theme.
