At our Eco Estate the emphasis is on comfort, relaxation and romance. We aim to do anything that we can do to make your stay special. Our staff, from the front office and housekeeping staff to the kitchen staff, are formally trained. We give you the privacy that’s so important, while always being available to attend to your needs.
Every effort has been made to ensure that your stay at Summerfields is as worry free and restful as it can be. Accommodation, dining, the lux gardens, the spa and boma – everything is designed for your relaxation. Let the stress wash away to the sounds of the birds.
And when you want to venture out, it is a short drive to Hazyview, where there are shops, restaurants and even a nursery and reptile park. And, of course, the Kruger park is also just a short drive away.
TENTED SUITES
Accommodation at the River Lodge comprises 12 luxury tented suites, 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.
Attention to detail is evident in every rose-variety suite, 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 luxury bath, are stocked with quality toiletries and have a private fridge for the comfort of our guests.
Enjoy a relaxing rose-scented bath with optional sparkling wine and homemade treats.
Each suite has air-conditioning, roof fan, large bath sheets, bath gowns, tea and coffee making facilities, fridge, hairdryer, electronic safe, a range of quality toiletries and a selection of current magazines.
Breakfast and lunch is reserved for our fully licensed River Café, where there is also a lounge and library area with views over the Sabie River. We have satellite television available in the lounge area as well as Wifi available in the rooms, free of charge. Due to the frequent incidence of thunderstorms wifi may be interrupted. Dinner is served at our Kitchen.

Often referred to as ‘glamping’, Jackalberry Suite lends itself to those seeking that extra special something. We’re just waiting for some special photographs to show off this gorgeous suite.
Dining at Summerfields is a gastronomic experience. We pride ourselves on our attention to detail, from the carefully prepared menus to the table settings. We carry the romance of our Eco Estate through to the River Café and the Eco Estate's Kitchen and you can be assured of fresh roses and flowers. All vegetables are taken fresh from our own organic nursery, where everything is grown as close to its natural, original form as possible.
The River Café, a bistro type restaurant on the river, is open daily for breakfast and lunch. The Eco Estate Kitchen, above our organic garden, is open daily for dinner. Menus change according to the season and what is available from the organic nursery and the Estate Farm.
We are proud to announce that both the Estate Kitchen and River Café were winners in the prestigious 2016 World Luxury Restaurant Awards.
RIVER CAFÉ
The River Café is a glorious culinary space in idyllic surroundings, reached via a forested walk, across a stone bridge and set on the banks of the Sabie River, where you can often see and hear hippos.
River Café is open for breakfast & lunch daily.
We use only the finest ingredients in our menu, with vegetables from our organic gardens or from trusted suppliers.
The River Café is a must-visit location whilst touring the Lowveld. We offer a special experience, whether for a lazy weekend breakfast or light lunch.
OUR ECO ESTATE KITCHEN
Our stunning dinner restaurant, Summerfields Kitchen is open for dinner only. This delightful venue looks out over an organic garden.
The Kitchen is a romantic restaurant with white linen, candlelight and roses for dinner. Our large wooden tables, leather chairs, rose-scented candles and fresh cut roses will add to an amazing farm-to-table dinner experience.

Go above and beyond the normal and take your imagination to a place where nature’s unspoilt beauty and peace allows you to totally relax your body and mind thus refreshing your soul and strengthening your inner being.
Our Spa is surrounded by bush-clad mountains on the banks of the Sabie River which affords glimpses of crocodiles and an abundance of hippos. The birdlife is prolific with over 100 species already identified on the estate. The Lowveld enjoys a sub-tropical climate giving rise to a delightful variety of fruits such as litchis, mango’s, avocado, pawpaw to name a few.
Facilities include a steam room, Jacuzzi, swimming pool, Vichy shower, unisex change rooms and hydro walk along the banks of the Sabie giving meaning to the philosophy “Sanare per Aquam” which means ‘health through water’.
Following your choice of treatments we urge you to enjoy our half-day packages which include lunch at River Café.
Our guests choose a spa experience because it is pleasurable and fun, it transports them from the grind of everyday life. It elevates focus on physical appearance only to a level where caring about one’s state of mind, emotional well-being and stress reduction become important.
Whichever type you choose to be, we have a treatment that is right for you.
THE FARM
Our Farm comprises 100 acres of rolling hills running down to the river, with orchards of macadamia and litchi trees and granadilla plantations.
Our Eco Estate takes up only a small portion of the farm. The owners of our Eco Estate and their children have a vision to create an environment where active farming and warm hospitality can co-exist in a wonderfully unique way. This remains a work-in-progress, and we are constantly on the lookout for improvements and new dynamic developments.
At our Eco Estate we strive to produce as much of our own produce as we can for use in the restaurants, or source from reputable local suppliers. We grow most of our organic vegetables on the farm. This means we only use our own compost, which is made from leaves, husks, organic manure, and the use of thousands of little earthworms. We do not use any synthetic fertilisers or chemicals to control insects, rather we concentrate on the health of the soil and plant material, and encourage natural predators such as bats to control insects.
Our folio feeds include earthworm ‘tea’, which we spray onto our roses, vegetables, nuts and fruits. This not only gives much needed nutrients to the plants, but enhances the vegetables and fruits’ quality, colour and taste.
We have our own free-range hens - bred to withstand harsh South African conditions, and you’ll notice the deep, intense yellow, almost orange colour of the yolk. This means they had to search for their food, they certainly won’t get it force-fed.
We grow seasonal vegetables, and there is always some to share with passers-by. Just ask what may be available.
We export macadamia nuts, litchis and passion fruit to Europe, and use this produce in our food, in value-added products such as chocolates, sorbets and ice-creams, cakes and puddings. Our products are for sale on the property.
We are Global Gap accredited and adhere to their health, safety and hygiene practices.
DUKE GIN
On the slopes of our Estate, nestled between stretches of lush subtropical vegetation, lies our bountiful litchi orchard. Hot, humid summers with thunderous rainstorms create the ideal climate needed to produce the sweet florallike flavours characteristic to the litchi fruit, from which we distill our own alcohol, the base for Duke Gin. Unlike most traditional gins which simply import raw alcohol, Duke veers towards avantgarde through its utilisation of litchis to create a truly unique and flavourful gin.
Duke is an exotically fragrant gin - traditional and tropical botanicals are gradually infused during distillation to produce a balance between sweet, fresh hints of rose, ginger and honey, and grounded, earthy tones of juniper berries and macadamia.
Our unique, triple distilled Gins are produced from 'farm to bottle' and are fermented and distilled in small, hand-crafted batches - entirely on the estate, giving rise to the slogan ‘farm to bottle’. Each bottle is lovingly signed as a tribute to its authenticity.
Our forever-faithful companion, Duke the Vizsla, reminds us that persistence and consistency are key to producing the perfect gin, every time.
Duke Gin, now known as ‘Duke Of The Lowveld’ now comes in 4 distinct varieties, Duke Original, Duke Sportsman, Duke Zero and Duke Copper.
