Love the approach down to the cottage, already feels different once you turn off the road. Love the sound of water from the Sabi river and the birds in the surrounding trees.

At Mackers you will be treated as one of the family. Not only are you near the Panorama route and 24kms to the Kruger National Park, You, as our valued guest, will find top notch accommodation in our 3 Cottages in the valley (And from 1 July 2018, 10 Africamps Luxury Glamping Tents were added on the river) with crisp linen in well-equipped rooms. Our cottages overlook the Sabie valley – ideal for quiet getaways with a partner or family groups - you can have the place to yourselves. We welcome kids! Glamping in Luxury with an experience of peace and tranquility. Appreciate waking up to the rapids in the morning, walk out of your tent and you face the beauty and sounds of the Sabie river. Bring your tubes, canoes or kayaks and brave the grade 3 kayaking rapids. Mellow out in the rock pools or hike along the river trails. Bring the bicycles for some good riding. Kids love our spot - let them be kids again with no TV...only nature. Our little piece of heaven. There are very few unspoilt places left like this, teeming with birdlife.
Ryan and Michelle are the owners of Mackers - originally from Benoni but chose to have "quality of life" in Hazyview. The longer we stay the more we enjoy and improve our property for our guests. We would love to welcome you to the "Mackers" family
We are 24 km away from the Phabeni Kruger gate. We also have an adventure center 1km away with rafting, quad biking etc. etc. elephant interactions close by and plenty of biking trails for bikes and bicycles. We are 25 min away from Sabie, 35 min from Graskop and 45 min to Gods window so we are in the middle of it all. Plenty of restaurants and golf courses nearby
