Merry Pebbles is campground style accommodation. We had a nice 2-bedroom cottage set amongst grassy lawns and large trees. As it was off-season, the place was nearly deserted, with only a handful of other occupants, making for a very peaceful and relaxing stay. The location is great for those wanting to experience the outdoors. Just across the river is a... More

We recently spent two nights at merrypebbles in the camping sections. The resort is very clean and the ground staff are very friendly. I think the management could maybe take a lesson from the staff. The resort really caters for kids with pools and the river rafting.

The resort's location is perfect if you enjoy using the trails for either running or biking. Very good trails, we enjoyed running on and around the mountain. With the river running through the resort, the kids enjoyed floating down the stream on tubes, good fun. The resort need a bit of a make over as it's got an old look... More

We go to Merry Pebbles on a regular basis! We love the natural environment and real country experience. The Comley family go the extra mile to mke on feel at home and part of the family. Merry Pebbles is a true gem. Very few holiday destintions still offer this true family type destination. Our family love it!!

We recently visited Merry Pebbles on our trip to escape the city life, and I can honestly say it was a trip we will be taking for many years to come. As I sat on my balcony of my quaint chalet and took a breath of that fresh air, with the sound of the rushing river and a child's laughter... More

I was immediately blown away by the beauty of the resort, with the crystal clear river running quietly past the chalets, and the thick green vegetation lining the mountain side. It truly is a beautiful setting, and definitely a place where one can relax and reflect! The chalets were great and I even found the sleeper couch really comfortable! The... More

It has been a long while since I was last in South Africa, and even longer since I was at Merry Pebbles, but it was great to stay in these cabins. They are well appointed, with a double bed and bunk bed, as well as a kitchen and bathroom. There was plenty of hot water for showers and although we... More

Rather dated chalets set amid an extensive campsite. Reminded me of a 1970s holiday camp. There is a clear need for an update with our loo badly stained with limescale (as was the ketttle) and a slightly musty smell in the room, although the kitchen was clean and well equipped. We stayed in winter and it was pretty quiet but... More

This huge campsite has everything you need, goods ablution, washing machines small shops. But the campsite was empty in wintertime and missed the warmth we found at Sabie River camp. A hot pool and very nice and very clean ablutions.
