Awesome stay.

The owner was very friendly and helpful. Had some visitors around (kudus, deer, springboks, and vlakvark). It was really a very pleasant stay. Will definitely go back again. Thank you.

Fantasmagories, sal weer soontoe gaan, stil en natuurlewe is puik.

Wat 'n lekke plek om net af te pak en rustig te wees. Diere kom groet die hele dag en die nagapies kom ook piesangs soek van 18H00 af. Die enigste probleem is die vuil drinkwater, maar dit is 'n klein probleem.

Fantastic, would go there again, quiet and wildlife is great.

What a great place to just unwind and relax. Animals come to say hello all day and the night monkeys also come looking for bananas from 18H00. The only problem is the dirty drinking water, but this is a minor problem.

Awesome.

The house was very clean & modern. When it rains (which it didn't), there is a TV with DSTV full package. A small splash pool and a Jacuzzi will definitely help in the warm months or a romantic getaway. We had a fantastic time, driving around seeing wild animals, sitting at the restaurant and lookout point looking into the Kruger National Park.

Baie teleurstellend.

Ek is bitter jammer om te sê, maar die netheid van die plekkie was nie goed nie en daar word nie goed skoongemaak nie. Die handdoeke het nie lekker geruik nie, en ons kon glad nie die mikrogolf gebruik nie a.g.v. hoe dit geruik het. Al die toilette lek ook in die badkamers.

Very disappointing.

I am very sorry to say, but the cleanliness of the place was not good and it is not cleaned well. The towels didn't smell good, and we couldn't use the microwave at all because how it smelled All the toilets also leak in the bathrooms.

Baie dankie vir jou terugvoer, Helga. Jammer om te hoor van jou ervaring. Ek sal beslis met die skoonmaker gesels.
Jy moes dit onder my aandag gebring het terwyl julle daar was, dan kon ek dit uitsorteer. Ons kry nie as 'n reël hierdie tipe klagtes nie en kan jou verseker dat goeie diens vir ons van uiterste belang is.

Goeie waarde vir geld, een nag oorslaap.

Dit was 'n baie vinnige eennagoorslaap na 'n vol dag in die wildtuin. Goeie waarde vir geld. Met load shedding ongelukkig in die donker aangekom.

Uitstekend.

Was ons eerste keer in Marlothpark en was beslis die moeite werd. Hilda is 'n gasvrou 1000. Alles wat ons nodig kon gehad het was beskikbaar en selfs toe ons gas leeg was, het sy 'n plan gemaak. Sal beslis weer daar gaan bly.

Small but comfortable spot with everything needed. Close enough to walk to viewing spot into Kruger.

Nice small spot in the Marloth park nature reserve close to Kruger fence. House was clean and had all necessary utilities. Dstv was not working but didn't use TV much as we were enjoying the bush. Very suitable spot for four people to use as a base to travel daily into Kruger.

Baie goed.

Twee probleme. Die swembadjie was vuil. Die eienaar se verskoning is die tekort aan water. Dit is nie geldig nie. Daar was water in die swembadjie en hulle moes hom skoongemaak het. Eers na drie versoeke is dit gedoen. Tweedens. Die gasgeyser vir die storte. Dit werk nie. Of jy brand jou dood of jy dood van die koue. Dit is onmoontlik om die stort se tempratuur te beheer. Die res van die fasiliteite was goed en netjies.

Very good.

Two problems. The pool was dirty. The owner's excuse is the lack of water. It is not valid. There was water in the pool and they should have cleaned him. Only after three requests was it done. Secondly. The gas geyser for the showers. It doesn't work. Either you burn to death or you die of the cold. It is impossible to control the temperature of the shower. The rest of the facilities were good and tidy.
