The staff were so friendly and helpful. Special shout out to Jannie and Thabo that assisted us with fixing our car. All the staff made my husband's birthday so special. The lovely Lucy was just a bonus. The beauty of the area is unmatched, and the food and service was spectacular.
Nothing it was superb

What a special place nestled in the mountains. Our accommodation was wonderful. We had the Penthouse which was so comfortable, easily fit our family of 4. Very close to the main reception, swimming pool and cafe. The staff couldn’t do enough for us. So helpful and friendly. We decided from night 1 we’d eat in the restaurant as the food was delicious and the menu changed each night. We would 100% visit again. Yes, there is a gravel road for about 20 mins but once you’ve done it once it’s not so bad. Just slow and steady.
Everything was wonderful. Nothing negative.

The location in the hills surrounded by nature The size of the cottage and the equipment provided
The hotel advised us to arrive before dark, but we could not make it. Driving down the municipality road with a sedan car through the night and the fog was a bit tense. The amount of lighting in the cottage could be improved, it was a bit too dark at night.

Our stay at Mount Sheba Rainforest Hotel and Resort was nothing short of extraordinary. Traveling with my wife and young daughter, we discovered the perfect balance of relaxation, adventure, and awe-inspiring natural beauty. One of the highlights was our hike to Marco’s Mantle waterfall. The experience was both invigorating and serene, surrounded by the tranquil forest and the soothing sound of cascading water. Dima’s clear and thoughtful guidance ensured we navigated the trails with ease. For anyone visiting Mount Sheba, exploring the waterfalls and hiking trails is an absolute must—it’s an experience that truly connects you with nature. The accommodations were a delightful blend of elegance and comfort. Cozy fireplaces made our evenings wonderfully relaxing, while pre-heated blankets added a touch of luxury on chilly nights. The staff went above and beyond, offering warm hospitality and impeccable attention to detail. The meals, from hearty breakfasts to satisfying dinners, were a true culinary treat. Mount Sheba is a haven of tranquility, offering breathtaking scenery and activities for visitors of all ages. It was the perfect family retreat, and we are already looking forward to returning and creating more unforgettable memories. This destination is a gem for anyone seeking peace, adventure, and the charm of nature’s finest!
We truly loved everything about the property—it’s a fantastic destination with exceptional value for money. However, one piece of advice for future visitors: plan to arrive during daylight hours, particularly if you’re driving a vehicle with low clearance. The road leading to the property can be a bit challenging, but the journey is worth it once you arrive. 😁

The resort is hidden between mountains, which can only be reached by driving through a rainforest - which was a magical experience. Upon arrival, the staff were extremely friendly. Our unit, which sports a fireplace, was immaculate, with a huge bathroom and an exceptionally comfortable bed. It also has two comfortable chairs in front of the fireplace. The unit was cleaned every day, and the firewood was replaced at no extra charge. The food was excellent, and the breakfast was scrumptious. The bar has a dart board and a pool table, which we enjoyed immensely. It was fantastic fun to relax and be well-treated.

Is a little slice of heaven. The property is amazing and extremely picturesque. Surrounded by a thick forest with fantastic hiking trails, just don’t wear crocs and socks like I did and look at the difficulty level before deciding on which hike to take. There are also hiking sticks available at the reception, just saying, as I did not notice. The staff are so helpful and extremely professional. They made it such a relaxing and rejuvenating stay over a long weekend for both my boyfriend and I as we celebrated his birthday. Anne’s hands is the spa that is available and the property. They were phenomenal and managed to work out the knots in my back. The full body massage is a must. Lastly I must talk on the food. It was delicious and rather large portions. A 3 course meal for dinner and a continental and hot breakfast. The options were great for meat lovers. It is truly worth a visit this haven.

The location is fantastic. The staff are friendly, warm and welcoming. Dhansile and Mavis are an asset to the hotel and are well trained in service excellence. The food was outstanding, both breakfast and dinner options. Tania is on the ball and everything seems to run like clockwork. Hiking hiking hiking, the trails are magnificent.
Rooms are a little dated and the cappuccinos could be better. The rocky road to the Hotel could use a makeover. Other then that i don't believe there was anything else we could fault at Mt Sheba.
