Eating in Sabie

There is a diversity of Restaurants in and around Sabie. The four which we recommend are all within walking distance of Wayfarers.

 For a very good traditional restaurant meal which also has some exotic South African dishes, try The Wild Fig Tree. You can sit inside or outside. They are now also serving excellent Pizzas, at a very     competitive price.

Opposite is The Woodsman, with a good menu and plenty of atmosphere, and sport on large screen televisions. When the weather is good, you can eat outside on the deck.

Around the corner, near BP, is Smokey Train Diner, which serves everything from Pizzas to Potjies. This is a large restaurant which plays good music, and has a vibrant atmosphere.

Look out for Stoffel the Parrot! Smokey's is closed on Mondays.

In The Courtyard near Petena's Pancakes is Attilio's Steak Ranch, where the food is good and plentiful, at very reasonable prices!

BREAKING NEWS!

We have just been informed that next years MTN Sabie Classic , to take place on February 25, 2012 in Sabie, will be the first leg of the 2012 UCI World MTB Marathon Series.

This Series consists of 11 Events Internationally, and this is the first time that an African race has been included in The World Series.

This means that not only will Sabie play host to the best South African Mountain Bikers, but we can expect the best Mountain Bikers in the World to make the trip to Sabie, in order to gain valuable UCI  points in our event.

Accommodation is sure to be at a premium, so it will be in everyone's interest to Book early, as the MTN Sabie Classic is now less than three months away.

 THE ROADS AROUND SABIE.

The road to Nelspruit, from Long Tom Pass, has been resurfaced, and the roadworks are  finished, except for a crew who are improving the roadside drainage near the Long Tom end. The road is now excellent, with Cats Eyes the entire distance, and all the lines have been repainted.There are no potholes for the entire distance between Sabie and Nelspruit, using the R37.

The road to White River is in good condition, and is recommended for driving at night, as there are excellent cats eyes. However there are some bad potholes  starting to appear, near White River on the way back to Sabie.

Look out for Speed Traps coming into Sabie from White River, near Harmony Hill, and also leaving Sabie for Long Tom near York Timbers offices. A new place for trapping has recently surfaced, 21 kms from Sabie, on the Long Tom Road.

The road to Hazyview from Sabie can be split into three sections. The first part is the Forestry section and is in surprisingly good condition,the second sector is The Plantation section, and here the road starts to deteriorate, with some bad potholes, and this state of affairs continues into the third segment, namely The Hospitality  section, right through to Perry's Bridge. Heavy summer rains have again wreaked havoc on this road, with approximately 40 large potholes in each direction.

In Sabie itself, there are a number of poor stretches of road. Unfortunately the Old Lydenberg road to Lone Creek Falls is in a shocking state of disrepair from Loggerheads to York Timbers. Once past York Timbers sawmill, the road improves. Sixth Street, near the Woodsman Centre also needs care and attention, whether walking or driving, and Kerk Street, past the Police Station is one to avoid..
