SOUL-REFRIENDLY as listed below. An Unforgettable Refreshment for the Soul at Mount Sheba If you’re looking for a place to disconnect from the world and reconnect with your soul, Mount Sheba Hotel is the ultimate destination. We recently completed a 13-day stay, and it was nothing short of breathtaking. The Journey and Surroundings: Although the road to the hotel is a bit rough and rocky, don’t let that put you off! We made it easily in a Toyota Corolla, and even in a Suzuki Ignis it’s possible by driving slowly. Trust me—it’s worth it. The surroundings are incredible and the views are absolutely breathtaking. Service with a Heart: From the moment we arrived, the reception team immediately made us feel at home and welcome. This warmth continued throughout our entire stay. The Room: Cozy, spotlessly clean, and serviced daily with a smile. The fireplace was a highlight, always stocked with enough wood for our needs, and the electric blankets provided extra comfort. The Management: The hosts, Tania and Hanru, are incredibly hands-on and make sure everything runs smoothly. Tania always made time for a friendly chat, creating a happy working environment that is clearly reflected in the staff's attitude. The Team: Special thanks to Jeffrey, our star who looked after us every night; Vusi, who welcomed us so warmly on our first night; Dansile for his constant friendliness; and Shelby, the bartender, who was always helpful. A Culinary Paradise: The chefs here are true artists. Every meal felt like it was prepared with love. They really are "lamb specialists" — the lamb shank and lamb stew were top notch! The Highlights: The soups are mouthwatering, and the breakfast buffet offers a delicious variety that will start your day with a song in your heart. Special Occasions: They made my wife’s birthday unforgettable with rose petals on the table and staff singing. Our Christmas dinner was also out of this world, with an impressive selection of starters, followed by a delicious buffet and dessert. Conclusion: Mount Sheba is a rare gem where special requests are handled quickly and guests are treated like family. We left refreshed and inspired. We will definitely be back! Thank you, Mount Sheba, for an unforgettable treat!

SIELS VERKWIKKEND als onder opgesom. ’n Onvergeetlike Verkwikking vir die Siel by Mount Sheba As jy op soek is na ’n plek om van die wêreld af te skakel en weer met jou siel kontak te maak, is Mount Sheba Hotel die uiteindelike bestemming. Ons het onlangs ’n verblyf van 13 dae voltooi, en dit was niks minder as asemrowend nie. Die Reis en Omgewing: Al is die pad na die hotel ’n bietjie rof en klipperig, moenie dat dit jou afskrik nie! Ons het dit maklik met ’n Toyota Corolla gemaak, en selfs met ’n Suzuki Ignis is dit moontlik deur stadig te ry. Glo my—dit is die moeite werd. Die omgewing is ongelooflik en die uitsigte is absoluut asemrowend. Diens met ’n Hart: Van die oomblik dat ons gearriveer het, het die ontvangsspan ons onmiddellik tuis en welkom laat voel. Hierdie hartlikheid het regdeur ons hele verblyf voortgeduur. Die Kamer: Gesellig, silwerskoon en daagliks met ’n glimlag gediens. Die kaggel was ’n hoogtepunt, deurentyd aangevul met genoeg hout vir ons behoeftes, en die elektriese komberse het ekstra gemak verseker. Die Bestuur: Die gashere, Tania en Hanru, is ongelooflik betrokke (“hands-on”) en sorg dat alles vlot verloop. Tania het altyd tyd gemaak vir ’n vriendelike geselsie, wat ’n gelukkige werksomgewing skep wat duidelik in die personeel se houding weerspieël word. Die Span: Spesiale dank aan Jeffrey, ons ster wat elke aand na ons gekyk het; Vusi, wat ons so hartlik verwelkom het op ons eerste aand; Dansile vir die deurlopende vriendelikheid; en Shelby, die kroegman, wat altyd behulpsaam was. ’n Kulinêre Paradys: Die sjefs hier is ware kunstenaars. Elke maaltyd het gevoel asof dit met liefde voorberei is. Hulle is regtig "lamsvleis-spesialiste" — die lamskenkel en lamsbredie was uit die boonste rakke! Die Hoogpunte: Die soppe is watertand, en die ontbyt-buffet bied ’n heerlike verskeidenheid wat jou dag met ’n lied in die hart laat begin. Spesiale Geleenthede: Hulle het my vrou se verjaarsdag onvergeetlik gemaak met roosblare op die tafel en personeel wat gesing het. Ons Kersfees-ete was ook uit hierdie wêreld, met ’n indrukwekkende voorgeregkeuse, gevolg deur ’n heerlike buffet en nagereg. Gevolgtrekking: Mount Sheba is ’n seldsame juweel waar spesiale versoeke vinnig hanteer word en gaste soos familie behandel word. Ons het verfris en geïnspireerd vertrek. Ons sal beslis weer terug wees! Dankie, Mount Sheba, vir ’n onvergeetlike bederf!

Absolutely worth it, awesome and unforgettable! The stay was fantastic. The staff are absolutely excellent, friendly, diligent and I can't say anything bad or negative about my stay. We will definitely be back with the family to do all the walking trails. The food was top notch, actually too much for a woman, definitely a must eat at the hotel. If you don't want a three course meal, there are smaller options such as pizza and hamburgers available at the bar.

Absoluut die moeite werd, awesome en onvergeetlik! Die verblyf was fantasties. Die personeel is absoluut uitstekend, vriendelik, fluks en ek kan niks verkeerd of negatief van my verblyf sê nie. Ons gaan beslis weer terugkom met die familie om al die staproetes te doen. Die kos was uit die boonste rakke, eintlik te veel vir 'n vrou, beslis 'n moet om by die hotel te eet. As jy nie 'n driegang maaltyd wil hê nie, is daar kleiner opsies soos pizza en hamburgers by die bar beskikbaar.

Exceeded expectations, we will be back. Very nice, everything was great. We will definitely come back. Beautiful scenery, quiet, peaceful. The road there doesn't matter, just drive a little slower and enjoy the surroundings. Thank you.

Verwagtinge oortref, ons kom terug. Baie lekker, alles was puik. Ons kom definitief terug. Natuurskoon, rustig, vrede. Die pad soontoe maak nie saak nie, ry maar net bietjie stadiger en geniet die omgewing. Dankie.

Beautiful forests that can be compared to the Garden Route. Great customer service from reception to the staff serving breakfast. We had some water problems upon arrival but they sorted it out quickly and kindly.

Pragtige woude wat met die Tuinroete vergelyk kan word. Puik kliëntediens van ontvangs tot by die personeel wat ontbyt bedien. Ons het waterprobleme ondervind by aankoms, maar dit is vinnig en vriendelik uitgesorteer.

Quiet getaway for pleasant rest for the soul. One of the nicest getaways in Mpumalanga. The accommodation is first class, the food is incredible, the staff are excellent, the well-marked footpaths are lovely to walk on and the view is breathtaking.

Stil wegbreek vir aangename rus vir die siel. Een van die lekkerste wegbreke in Mpumalanga. Die verblyf is eersteklas, die kos is ongelooflik, die personeel is uitstekend, die mooi aangeduide voetpaaie is heerlik om te stap en die uitsig is asemrowend.
