About this place
Set within an ancient indigenous rainforest on the edge of the Mpumalanga escarpment, Mount Sheba Rainforest Hotel & Resort is a serene mountain retreat near Pilgrim's Rest on the Panorama Route. The hotel sits inside its own 1,500-hectare nature reserve, surrounded by giant yellowwood trees, waterfalls, and walking trails rich in birdlife and forest game.
Colonial-style rooms and suites are scattered amongst the forest canopy, each featuring fireplaces, private patios, and garden or forest views. Guests enjoy a full-service restaurant serving country-fresh cuisine, a cosy library and bar, a swimming pool, a wellness spa, and conference facilities.
Ideally placed for exploring God's Window, Bourke's Luck Potholes, the Blyde River Canyon, and Pilgrim's Rest: Mount Sheba is a rare combination of heritage charm, forest wilderness, and contemporary comfort.
