cyclingfan Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Try MBizi in Bela Bela. Fantastic place. http://www.mbizi.co.za/cyclingfan2009-07-30 03:25:07
Tumbleweed Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 tranquilitas in waterval boven is also an option.
Dirtbreath Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Just camp on the Spruit. Becoming a very popular spot. Facilities closeby along the whole length.
Danger Dassie Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Stay at the Backpackers in Sabie you numbnut. Heated pool, cold beers!

gremlin Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Try MBizi in Bela Bela. Fantastic place. http://www.mbizi.co.za/ I agree. Mbizi is great. And you can cycle on their premises. Lots of track to cover, last time after the Lionman did 26km their and did dot even cover everything.
Tumbleweed Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 tranquilitas!! oi, when you heading up there again? need to go soon!

numbnuts Posted July 31, 2009 Author Posted July 31, 2009 Thanks to all who answered my post looks like I will be having a great mountain biking weekend away or more than one, with prices of places like Tranquilitas and Makele both places looks great. <?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />Also phoned Mibizi on web looks like great place but price now also R410 per night. I went camping in April and all places priced around R250 To R300 look like prices of some places have in 5 months time increased by 50%.
