Tripadvisor gives a Travellers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travellers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
ANEW Resort Hazyview offers a wide choice of luxury accommodation catering to all tastes, with conference facilities and beautiful surroundings. This Hotel is a taste of the best that Africa can be. Ideally placed in the beautiful setting of Mpumalanga, the resort is just a few hours from Johannesburg, and the drive is breathtaking. Just beyond the boundaries of the resort lie some of the jewels of the area: God's Window, the Blyde River Canyon and all the other scenic glories of Mpumalanga and the last great haven for wildlife, the Kruger National Park, is just a hop away.
Star ratings are intended to indicate the general level of features, amenities, and services to expect. This property is classified according to TGCSA - Tourism Grading Council of South Africa.
ANEW is one of the best local resorts, has the staff and their facility is very quiet and appeasing. I'd recommend this resort to anyone who fresh air and great new experience. As for their swimming pool side, it's a big wooow

My partner and I visited on 23/06/2023, due to the distance, we arrived around 8pm for check-in and had bought food along the way. I asked reception to warm it up for us as there aren't microwaves in the rooms. Reception referred me to the kitchen. The kitchen staff said their microwave is not working, a whole hotel with 139 guest rooms has no microwave!!! Speedy (employee) suggested that they use the oven but the lady behind the table said the plates will break from heat. There are stoves, pots, pans to warm up our food but reading the room, I picked up an unwillingness to help. Not very nice on our first night. This experience set the tone/expectations for the rest of our weekend. From us, we will not be visiting Anew Hazyview in the future.

This Hotel was selected as an option as it was about a 25 minute drive to Kruger Park (little longer on the return as we were on the opposite side of the park). Comfortable stay. Bathroom wall had an opening to the main part of the room and we needed to drop a shade for privacy.

The Anew Resort Hazyview, has to have some of the most beautiful gardens of any hotel we have stayed in. It’s location gives guests a complete escape from their daily routine. Based on a Portuguese village, walkways and paths meander through the complex where the rooms and suites are found. Some have terraces and small gardens and once inside our suite we found it spacious and comfortable. The linen and pillows were first class, towels and toiletries plentiful and the room fridge, safe and tea making facility made the accommodation more than acceptable. The staff could not do enough for you and over our 2 week stay, we got to know them well. Odele, the General Manager, could not have made us more welcome, but we noticed that she found time to speak to all guests and even on occasions play with children on the lawns, throwing herself into their games, which for us was a pleasure to watch. The pool area is a delight surrounded by lush vegetation and there is a large children’s pool too. Overall, our stay was just what we needed after the hectic build up to Christmas and the hotels location is perfect for so many activities including safaris. Quad biking and archery are just two of the activities available on site, but just walking through the grounds is refreshing and often enlightening with a stunning array of flora. The food, whether it was a buffet meal or A la carte is wholesome and varied. We highly recommend a stay.

Arrived after dark but easy to find even in a thunderstorm. Once in the grounds went to the reception to book into our suit. Reception was not manned but duty manager arrived in a few minutes. No welcome drink or anything to make you feel special which for a 4 star luxury hotel and the fact that we had one of their biggest suits was a huge disappointment. Did not even get an escort to the hotel building where the suit was located, just given the key and directions and directions to another building where the dinner was served. There was no conciege service which is expected in a 4 star hotel at the cost these suits are charged at.
We reserved a luxury suit in this hotel which was another disappointment. It look like a large standard room. TV was small and had limited channels. Had issues with the netspresso maker and called the reception. Confirmed someone would be there to assist in a few minutes, an hour later there was no-one. Would have expected bath robes for this level of hotel but had basic towels only. Overall, I was not impressed by the hotel suit or service.
However the dining room, when we eventually found it in the dark, served amazing tasting though very expensive food considering what a similar restaurant in the city would charge for the same meal. I took the fillet and my partner took a burger. The fillet was very small (maybe 3 bites of a normal steak) considering the cost and the burger would have the better choice. The elderly server was very pleasant and friendly and professional. Did have one gripe about the dining room apart from the tables and chairs looking like they were out of a 2 start hotel dining room. It was off the main bar area so gets quite noisy if the other patrons have been drinking. Thankfully we stayed there only the one night and were gone the next morning. Checkout was like the checkin the night before, nothing done to make you feel welcome or a valued guest. Would have rather booked a second night at our next night stay which cost the same, was 5 star and went all out to make you feel special.

Our stay was horrible right from the start. The only thing we were aware of before going there was that the restaurant is under construction. We were suprised to see that there was a major refurbishment happening which reception didn't warn us about. Our rooms were close to the construction site, and we didn't have privacy at all. On arrival, we had to ask one of the staff members to ask the construction man to move from our window. We could also see men on the roof from our room. When I went to my daughter's room, I found a man painting the door while she was inside. How do we stay in rooms while there is work being done?
The service was poor and short staffed. I understand that closing the hotel entirely for refurbishment could cost the property BUT you shouldn't open rooms where the construction is happening. We were supposed to be far from that. This was horrible.
We only had towels for swimming for o e day and the following day we were told there are no more towels because people don't return them "please use the bath towels" we were told.
We ordered drinks from the pool, it took very long to get the drinks because there was only one waiter. The glasses we used were left at the pool until the following day afternoon when we asked the same waiter to move them.

Unfortunately the al le carte menu is only available if there are fewer guests. This was not made apparent to us when booking. The norm appears to be the buffet menu which is average quality food with an emphasis on carbohydrates and meat. Otherwise, the grounds and staff are great, and easy distance to Kruger Park Phabeni gate.

The location was ideal, near Kruger Park. The hotel was very South African, Memories of Africa with dark bedroom furniture, old faucets, big bedroom which overlooked the pool. In the same complex there were plenty of restaurants and shops.

The reception and assistance by staff in general was good The food recycling is too much. Most of the restaurant staff were good, only one who refused me meat, I hadn’t eaten breakfast and lunch due to food reaction, I needed one piece of braai meat instead of other choices. I was told I’ve taken enough, I then asked for lemon and honey water.. nothing came

Not a good experience! Our room did not have any water!! We had been travelling internationally so this was a major issue. Also, we specifically searched out a property that had WiFi. There was absolutely no WiFi in the room, whatsoever. The WiFi that did exist was in the hotel reception area, which was a great distance from the rooms and was completely worthless as the signal was so weak that we could not even log on to the internet. Additionally, when attempting to pay for our dinner and drinks at the hotel, we were told that the credit/debit card machines were all "broken" and would need to pay cash. We never received a cash receipt or any type of receipt and we have later been told that the employee likely just pocketed our money. Due to the remote location of the property and inaccessibility of an ATM, depleting one's cash reserves when on the road for many weeks is a major issue when you are not expecting to have to use cash for anything, let alone the employee infidelity issue!

Yes, there is wi-fi in the rooms but it is patchy. The best wi-fi reception is near the restaurant and swimming pool. Even then it is a relatively slow connection. Hope this helps!
There are more places to choose from in the Hazyview area.
