Panorama Route where you will find the
Lone Creek River Lodge. Horse riding, hiking, fine country cuisine and the breathtaking views of the Sabie River valley.

Blue Mountain Lodge epitomises lavish comfort and privacy and is surrounded by unspoiled forests. One of our favourites is

Cybele Forest Lodge is arguably the most famous lodge in the area and is situated deep inside the cool mountain forests between Hazyview and White River. The tranquil surrounds along with the on-site health spa make it a treat for all the senses.For limited budgets and families,
Hippo Hollow is an ideal choice. Close to all the action, affordable and set alongside the Sabie River.
All accommodation along the
Panorama Route is in close proximity to spectacular attractions such as the Blyde River Canyon, God’s Window, Pilgrim’s Rest and Bourkes Luck Potholes. This beautiful, temperate region is definitely worthy of inclusion into your itinerary.
