  • Description
  • Facilities
Mac Mac Forest Retreat is centrally situated between Sabie, 15 km away from Mac Mac, Graskop and Pilgrim's Rest, in the picturesque Mpumalanga Escarpment area. The resort used to be a forestry station, but in 1999 Coen and Sonja Vermaak took over Mac Mac and started renting out the self-catering forestry houses.

The view of Mauchberg, the tranquil atmosphere, beautiful surroundings, and a central base to explore the popular escarpment area and Kruger National Park became known with time. The accommodation became more and more popular, and Mac Mac Forest Retreat underwent constant upgrading. A cosy and intimate bar was added, a swimming pool was put in, and some activities were added.

The self-catering houses feature a kitchen with cutlery, crockery, stove, fridge, an indoor fireplace, and outdoor barbecue facilities. Bedding is supplied, however guests will have to supply their own towels. The houses do not have TVs inside, but there is a warm, cosy pub on the premises equipped with DStv.

It is excellently situated to explore the local area and some walks are on your doorstep. But the cottage is in serious need of some TLC. Bit expensive for what you get.

We stayed at Mac Mac for 5 days and had a great time. The camping site we were assigned was lovely, with great views of the valley. Activities for the family are plentiful, and the resort is centrally loacted for the area and the usual touritst attractions. My only reservation would be that the ablutions could be improved - they are a bit scarce, although there were some under development when we were there so this may be resolved soon. otherwise a lovely spot.
