Summerfields Rose Retreat & Spa 

Relax, reset and rejuvenate

Just a short drive from Kruger National Park, luxurious tented suites are set amongst 100 acres of rolling farmland.

Summerfields Rose Retreat & Spa is the vision of owners Andre and Ilse. Situated on the banks of the Sabie River, Kruger Park is about a 15-minute drive away and you’ve also got the Panorama Route which takes in Blyde River Canyon and beautiful waterfalls in the Sabie area. The sub-tropical climate of the lowveld creates a magical setting of granadilla plantations, macadamia trees, litchee orchards and perfumed roses.

Tours of the farm and rose tunnels can be arranged. Relax to the sounds of nature at the riverside setting of the Rose Spa where you may hear hippos as you indulge in a macadamia compress massage or a rose-infused steam session.

A forested walkway and stone bridge lead you to River Café where breakfast is served. With eggs from the free-range hens and seasonal fruit and vegetables from the farm, the ingredients are as natural as its setting on the banks of the Sabie River. The Padstal is the retreat’s farm shop and deli where you can purchase gifts and snacks for your onward journey.

Nestled amongst the lush greenery and on the banks of the Sabie River, the Rose Spa offers treatments using lots of natural ingredients. Expect coffee body scrubs, rose butter soothers and papaya facials.

Summerfields is perfectly placed if you are planning to self drive the Panorama Route or want to do a day trip into Kruger National Park. Tours of the farm and the rose gardens can be arranged.

Food is sourced from their own organic farm and from local suppliers. Free-range chickens roam the grounds and they do not use synthetic fertilisers or chemicals and make their own compost from husks and leaves.
