Summerfields Rose Retreat and Spa is nestled on 100ha in a secluded valley near Hazyview in Mpumalanga province, close to the sights of the Blyde River Canyon. The luxury lodge, spa and restaurant are all set on Summerfields Rose Farm, famous for its export quality hybrid tea roses and macadamia nuts (which are also available for sale at the farm).
There are 12 exclusive tented suites under a canopy of Jackalberry and Tambotie trees, surrounded by nature with 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. Attention to detail is evident in every suite, with specially designed furniture, percale linen and of course the fragrance of fresh cut roses from the farm. All are air-conditioned with additional roof fans, en suite bathrooms with double vanities, outdoor shower and bath.
At the Summerfield Spa you will find both indulgence in a variety of unique, signature treatments and facilities such as the rose quartz steam shower.
**Please note that the restaurant is closed for dinner on Sunday and Monday evenings.

From Hazyview, the tour begins as it climbs towards the town of Graskop, and the southernmost point of the Blyde River Canyon. The Panorama Route encompasses some spectacular scenery, with breathtaking views of the Blyde River Canyon, and out over the endless Lowveld beyond. We take guests along the edge of the escarpment, to look out points offering magnificent views, including God’s Window, Wonderview and the Three Rondawels. Along the route we visit the famous Bourke’s Luck Potholes – deep cylindrical cavities formed by thousands of years of water erosion at the confluence of the Blyde and Treur Rivers. Pilgrim’s Rest is well worth a visit. This old mining town was established during the heady days of the gold rush in the late 1800’s, and the whole town is now lovingly preserved as a national monument. At lunchtime the tour will stop back in Graskop so that guests can have lunch at a restaurant, and if time permits, can spend a while browsing in local shops or along the pavements. Street vendors sell an amazing variety of goods – from nuts and fruit to beaded necklaces and carved wooden animals. South of Graskop, where the Sabie River rises, and numerous waterfalls tumble down the mountains, we will visit the beautiful Berlin Falls and Lisbon Falls on the way back to Hazyview.
The Kruger National Park is South Africa’s largest game reserve, and one of the most respected in the world. Our highly experienced field guides are passionate about the bush, and they will share their knowledge of the 147 species of mammals, more than 500 species of birds and 336 species of trees which make this 2 million hectare space their home, with our guests. The recorded presence of man – including bushman rock paintings and archaeological sites, are conserved along with the Park’s natural assets. If time permits, at least one of these will be included in the trip. From an Open Safari Vehicle guests can smell the dust and the sun-warmed grass, listen to the cicadas and the cry of the Fish Eagles, and enjoy the heat of an African day. However we are also able to offer a safari in a closed, air-conditioned vehicle. This is a pleasant and comfortable option especially in very hot weather, for older guests, and for families travelling with young children.
Our Farm Tour starts in our impressive vegetable garden, where you will learn about our farm-to-table philosophy and acquire some useful tips on how to produce your own vegetables. A visit to our inspiring rose garden will follow, before visiting our gin distillery, to see how we craft our Duke Gin from our litchis. After a walk trough our orchards of macadamia and litchi trees, you will stop at our award-wining River Café for a well-deserved lunch.
Our River Café, situated beside the river serves breakfast, lunch and dinner daily.
Breakfast consists of a fresh continental breakfast that includes homemade bread, croissants, fruit and vegetable juices. Hot breakfast options are available too.
Lunch is relaxed Tapas- style with lots of small dishes to choose from.
Our a la carte dinner is available from 18h00 - 22h00 daily.
All vegetables are taken fresh from our own organic nursery, where everything is grown as close to its natural, original form as possible.
