Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was our first hotel we stopped at after a long day of traveling to the country. The hotel is gorgeous and the whole place feels relaxing, quiet and peaceful. From our large and well decorated room we loved watching the bird life and even spotted a family of hippos. The food was delicious and it was lovely to sit out on the water during the day and inside the property in the evening (we visited in August). We hired a car and there is so much to explore from the local area. We would have stopped another couple of days if we could.

Bambuu Lakeside Lodge, a perfect getaway

Beautiful and peaceful setting, lovely garden and view. Staff are friendly, very accommodating and helpful. You can dine indoors or outdoors right on the lake's edge. Food was good and the dinner menu had nice choices and was quite tasty. Perfect get away for couples and close to numerous tourist attractions in Sabie, Graskop, Hazyview and game drives at the Kruger National Park.

We absolutely loved the Bambuu Lakeside Lodge! We stayed here three nights when we visited Kruger. The hotel and grounds were beautiful and cozy! Our room was right on the lake, making our stay very peaceful with stunning views. Dinner was delicious and there were always great food and drink options.
