Hippo Hollow Country Estate Hotel - Hazyview

The Hippo Hollow Country Estate Hotel welcomes guests to an oasis of tranquillity and an Out of Africa feel, with lush indigenous gardens and views of the Sabie River. The hotel is a welcome respite for travellers from big cities. It offers stylish accommodation that offers great views of the gardens and river, with hippopotamus grazing the lawns. There are two outdoor swimming pools, a state of the art conference centre with packages and customised corporate programmes, and a variety of dining experiences on-site, ranging from an a la carte restaurant to cocktail bars.

Number of Rooms: 91

The a la carte restaurant serves international and local food and guests can sit within the thatched boma or out on a lovely terrace overlooking the Sabie River. The food here is first class and the wine menu extensive as the restaurant manager has a good wine cellar. Meals are also organised outdoors every other day and are accompanied with cultural dancing by local tribes. The bar is very cosy and inviting and popular with guests.

The reception desk is situated to the left as you enter the restaurant and bar and draws guests attention to the lovely lawn leading down to the Sabie River and its many wild inhabitants.

The property consists of thatched chalets, some of which are on the river bank and others are situated in the sub tropical garden. There are also hotel rooms.
