Nice Bosveld cottage with many wildlife visitors.
We had a very nice stay. Too bad the home owner to the left of the house blocked the view. It's not right what he did. 'Home away from home'. We plan to go again.

Completely adequate and comfortable.
Very comfortable house with sufficient facilities, convenient because there are 3 bathrooms, cutlery is a bit scarce, the bedrooms are spacious enough, there is sufficient space and storage space in the kitchen and the 2 fridges are very convenient. The upper deck offers a lovely place to hang out, just a shame it wasn't cleaned.

Real estate offers much, much enjoyment.
Thank you very much for the privilege of being able to stay in your special place. For people complaining I would like to say, for the price the property offers a lot. For someone to open their place for you comes from the heart. There are ṅ front and back to choose from. If the traffic bothers you in the front, sit in the back. We saw many animals in the back. The fence and plants help a lot with privacy in front. Being able to walk just a short distance to the river was wonderful. Well equipped and beds sleep great. Thank you very much again.

House is very close to the wildlife park and we could hear the animals through the night. We felt very safe. House was very neat and practical. Will stay there again and recommend to other people.
We were there for the long weekend. Was really very nice. The house is very close to the wildlife park and we heard the animals so beautifully. Also had a great time walking down the wire. I would just think for the price there would be a pool. Would have been very nice. We struggled a bit with the showers. The hot water had to be turned on and off all the time so that the hot water could stay warm and when you turned on the cold water, the pipes made a big noise. Other than that it was lovely to stay there. Felt very safe and the animals came to eat grass in the garden. I will stay there again and recommend to other people.

"Rustic" accommodation very close to the river.
The house is within walking distance of a viewpoint over the Crocodile River. The house is spacious. It's very good value for money, except for a few niggles that can actually be easily fixed. The grill at the braai is not very practical. They can easily provide a folding grill. There are also not enough lights in the house. Especially the corridor and the stairs to the upper floor are poorly lit. The hot water is not hot at all, maybe lukewarm at most. There is a gas geyser, but it really doesn't work well. The rest is very cute, but the three things need attention.

Hi Hardus, dankie vir die terugvoering. Ons het 'n toeklap rooster vir die gaste verskaf, maar dit word heeltyd gesteel. In die besprekingsbevestigings brief spesifiseer ons dat daar nie een is nie.
Ons sal kyk na die ligte.
Ek het nog nie 'n klagte oor die geyser gehad nie. Ek sal daarna kyk. Dankie

Very nice place but poorly maintained.
1815 Sea Cow is a nice house close to the wildlife garden, at the vantage point that can be burdensome. Amenities are adequate but poorly maintained. Refrigerator is broken which caused us to suffer and just take your own grill with you. Would have had a nice view of the river but garden is completely overgrown. There is a deck that you can look out of but that is also risky. We still had a nice stay and if they spend some time and money on the house we will go again.

Hi Henk, dankie. Ek het mense uit gekry om te kyk na die yskas en volgens my kennis het alles reg gewerk. Ek was nie bewus nie.
Die braai roosters word heeltyd gesteel, daarom sê ons in ons brief dat mense hulle eie roosters moet vat.

We were unfortunately not very pleased with a few things.
Please note that you should make sure you take your own dishcloths with you. No dish soap is provided. The amount per night does not justify the inconvenience we had. We only arrived very late, 21H00 in the evening, with no information from security that loadshedding started at 21H00, we struggled for about 30 min to be able to enter in the dark, and this with an 11 month old baby who is tired and hungry wash. There were no warnings about water pressure, so we couldn't have had a proper shower all weekend. The sink was full of cobwebs and baby daddy long legs. Without knowing what the house looks like we had to choose which rooms we wanted as not all beds are made because the owner wants to save her bedding. We then chose rooms with king-size beds, but the second room was so small for the big bed that baby's cot could not be put up. So we could not use the other room, because there were no bed linen. Personally, I really think the amount per night is very high, no splash pool, and the wording on notes about what to do and what not to do makes one feel half like a child. Unfortunately we will not stay there again. We come to Marloth a lot and have been to more modest type places but at least we got dish towels and dish soap to use. It's the least convenient, especially if you want to rinse out a baby bottle during the night. The general feeling from all 3 of us adults was that it is absolutely all about profit and there is no, but no recognition or appreciation for guests. We just drove early on Sunday morning because we really didn't enjoy the weekend with the struggle.

Hi Jenny. In die brief wat julle ontvang het, was julle in kennis gestel dat die huis vol self sorg is en vadoeke en skottelgoed seep is deel van die lys wat nie voorsien word nie. Ons lys alles wat beskikbaar en nie beskikbaar is nie.
Ongelukkig is load shedding en water druk buite my beheer. Dit gebeur in die hele Marloth park en ek kan niks daaraan doen nie. As julle gevra het kon ek uit gevind het wat is die tye van load shedding maar ek bly nie daar nie so ek vind uit soos wat daar gevra word. Wanneer ek weet gaste gaan eers later inklok, los ek die buite lifte aan.maar weereens. Die huis is in die bos so ons kan nie al die spinnekoppe weg hou nie.
Ek het al 3 kamers vir julle reg gemaak vir net 4 mense. Daar was 2 king beddens en ‘n enkel bed reg vir julle. Die kamp kot in die groot kamer sou beter gewees het vir julle. Al twee kamers het koninggrootte-beddens en 'n badkamer. Die huis word geadverteer sonder ‘n splash pool.

We had a peaceful, nice holiday there in the forest, the house is comfortable and well equipped with everything. It's nice and close to the lookout point and you can relax in several places, in front or behind for a nice braai. The upper deck is lovely for a cocktail or an early morning coffee. Your place sucks! We will definitely book there again next time, we really enjoyed the holiday and had a nice rest and visit.

We spoke to owner and explained the situation, but she was not very helpful. She offered to refund us R7000 but then we have to leave the premises even though we paid R8400. The sink in master bedroom was dirty and blocked. The shower in the guest room was blocked. The owner then offered to give us a discount but nothing came of it.

Hi Brenda, thank you for the review. Some lights work off a battery system for when there is load shedding. We are addressing the issue. The air con in the loft was checked and is working 100%. It was switched off and uses the same remote as in the lounge.
Thank you again for the feedback.

Unforgettable time at 1815 Sea Cow!
Three bathrooms, one of which has a bathtub, are a huge treat! The location is unbeatable! The house is spacious and offers several visiting options. There is a lapa at the back, a stoep at the front and a balcony to choose from. There are sufficient crockery, as well as tablecloths and place mats. We booked for a week and would have loved to stay longer! The gas geyser sometimes provided cold surprises. However, I would book here again anytime.

The photos are exactly what you get. Nice and private and walking distance from the Kruger Lookout Point. Lovely lawn and view of Crocodile River. The lapa at the back is nice for hanging out and the animals often come to say hello. The aircons in 2 rooms and in the living area helped a lot in the heat wave we had. The owner also kept us informed of matters. Thank you for a beautiful home where we can appreciate nature.

Good day Rodney,
All the photos on the website are of what the actual house looks like. This is a self-catering bushveld accommodation and daily cleaning is not offered. Our cleaners come in and put clean linen on the beds before all our guests arrive and they have been servicing that house for 7 years. The place was not left in a good condition as there were 3 full bin bags locked inside, mattresses that had no reason to be used left all over the house, wet towels left on the deck and mats rolled up and stuffed behind furniture because of furniture indents. They are not dirty. I try assisting wherever I can but I am very confident that my cleaners are doing what they should.
Kind Regards,
1815 Seekoei
