The river lodge consists of 12 exclusive tented suites under a canopy of Jackalberry and Tambotie trees, surrounded by the music of nature – the sounds of cascading water, amplified by a choir of bird calls and the occasional snort of a hippo. Each luxurious suite ensures total privacy whilst relaxing on the deck with views of the Sabie River, which runs to the Mozambique coastline.
Attention to detail is evident in every rose-variety suite, ensuring a memorable experience, with specially designed furniture, percale linen and the tantalizing fragrance of fresh cut roses from the farm. All units are air-conditioned with additional roof fans, have double vanities, an outdoor shower and a luxury bath, and are stocked with quality toiletries, and a private fridge for the comfort of guests.
At the Summerfields Rose Spa, guests are pampered to aromatherapy, reflexology, hand, foot and scalp massages, facial treatments, full body exfoliations and wraps as well as manicures and pedicures. The Summerfields signature treatment includes a steam pack shower, followed by a macadamia exfoliation, a vichy shower and a rose oil massage. In between treatments guests can enjoy fresh, tasty and healthy meals and drinks at the pool deck, prepared by Summerfields Kitchen.
Spa guests can opt to stay over at the river lodge or just visit for the day. Further options include customized fly-in packages with Summerfields aircraft or transfers from hotels and lodges in the area. Perhaps it’s a fusion of African sensibilities with the rose from which Summerfields River Lodge & Rose Spa derives its intriguing charm. Or is it the bygone romance underscored by percale linen in a tented lodge suite? If not that then the fact that you may take a treatment in a spa pavilion set beside the river in which hippos bath at dusk?
