We were well rested, had lovely braais, enjoyed the pool, and we had everything.

What a lovely stay. The manager is amazing. She is customer-focused and even offered us free cleaning services as we stayed for a prolonged period. She also made her washing facilities available to us.

Goeie waarde vir geld.

Die drie kamers se eie badkamers was baie goed gewees. Die kombuis was goed toegerus. Die hoofkamer bo is baie groot en ruim. Die onderste kamers is 'n bietjie uitdagend met die deure wat teen die bed oopmaak. Persoonlik hou ek meer van die oop huise sodat die diere tot by jou kan kom.

Good value for money.

The three rooms' private bathrooms had been very good. The kitchen was well equipped. The main room upstairs is very large and spacious. The lower rooms are a bit challenging with the doors opening against the bed. Personally, I like the open houses more so that the animals can come up to you.

Goeie ligging, veilig, maar kort aandag.

Die plek het baie potensiaal, maar kort 'n deeglike skoonmaak en dalk 'n bietjie van 'n make-over. Daar is pluspunte: Beddegoed was mooi skoon en wit (het net een kussingsloop gemis), en die beddens in die huis slaap lekker. Die kombuis is redelik goed ingerig, het lekker warm water, 'n lekker braai-area, en ons het veilig gevoel. Maar die gordyne en muskietnette is nie skoon nie, en die meubels is bietjie gehawend. Daar is 'n slaapbank in die sitkamer wat 'n goeie skoonmaak nodig het. Wasbakkranke is los.

Good location, safe, but needs attention.

The place has a lot of potential but needs a thorough cleaning and maybe a bit of a makeover. There are plus points: Bedding was nice and clean and white (only one pillow case was missing), and the beds in the house sleep well. The kitchen is quite well equipped, has nice hot water, a nice braai area, and we felt safe. But the curtains and mosquito nets are not clean, and the furniture is a bit battered. There is a sofa bed in the living room that needs a good cleaning. Sink faucets are loose.

Het lekker gekuier en die prys was goed.

Ja, het lekker gebly. Die beddens is baie gemaklik. Een groot nadeel is die plek is te toegebou, daar is geen uitsig op die bos nie en die stoepgedeelte leen homself om dit te kan doen, maar is so toe gemaak jy moet oor die heining hang om die diere te kan sien. Die banke het ook aandag nodig; nuwe oortreksels oor die kussings sal baie beter lyk. Ook bietjie meer breekware as net die nodige ses van elk sal ook goed wees. Kamers kan doen met meer hangplek vir klere en die kothuis se badkamer kan doen met 'n kassie vir jou toiletware.

Had a great time and the price was good.

Yes, had a nice stay. The beds are very comfortable. One big disadvantage is the place is too closed, there is no view of the forest and the porch area lends itself to being able to do this, but is closed so you have to hang over the fence to be able to see the animals. The banks also need attention; new covers over the cushions would look much better. Also a little more crockery than just the necessary six of each would be good too. Rooms could do with more hanging space for clothes and the cottage's bathroom could do with a cabinet for your toiletries.

Was stil, nagapies het kom kuier.

Was 'n lekker-slaap-plekkie, net kyk na netheid en gordyne wat nie reg hang wat se knippies gebreek het, selfs teëls wat stukkend is. As dit opgeknap is, sal dit 'n lekker plekkie wees.

Was a nice place to sleep, just look at cleanliness and curtains that don't hang properly and have broken clips, even tiles that are broken. If it is renovated, it will be a nice place.

Unpleasant and will not recommend.

The place is unpleasant. The bedding has stains and the towels were not clean. The bathroom stank and wasn't cleaned properly. There is a multiplug in the lounge overheating, and a damaged plug without a cover in use in the bedroom. There are no cupboards or mirrors. The lights are not working in one of the bedrooms. It is unhygienic as all crockery, cutlery, and glassware is left uncovered on a counter or on a low cupboard without doors. The blue sleeper couch is absolutely disgusting, filthy, and full of stains. The furniture is worn, and the pool is missing tiles.

John and Noleen's Place 's response

Thank you for the review, Janine. We regret the discomfort you experienced during your stay. Although we strive to meet the basic standards at all times, some aspects might have been overlooked. Concerning the bedding, we only have white bedding which is changed and washed regularly. We will conduct another inspection to ensure your complaint is addressed. As for the mirrors, there are three mirrors in the place: two in the downstairs bedrooms and one in the upstairs bedroom. This might have been overlooked. We display the contents of our kitchen and allow guests to make decisions accordingly. Also, we enquire Field Security for the protection of our guests, providing a remote control with a panic button and alarm for use during your stay. There was an issue with your vehicle, for which we extended the check-out time to ensure your comfort at our establishment. Above all, we are grateful that your concerns were raised and they will certainly be addressed. We hope to accommodate you in the future. Best Regards.

Gesellig tussen die bome.

Ons het lekker gekuier by John en Noleen. Die opsigter was vriendelik genoeg om ons so 1½ uur toegang te gee. Dit was baie welkom. Daar is egter so paar goedjies wat uitgewys kan word. Ons het geboek vir 7 volwassenes. Die uitleg van die huis is egter nie geskik hiervoor nie. Ons het wel geweet dat 1 bed 'n slaapbank is voor ons gegaan het. Die sitkamer deel is egter so klein dat dit die slaapbank onprakties maak. Die 2 badkamers is bitter klein, soveel so dat mens sukkel om met gemak daar binne te beweeg. Kombuisware is alles daar, maar so klein bietjie aandag sal nie skade doen nie. Plastiek wynglase wat almal al dof gewas is, geen skuurder vir potte, geen braairoosterborsel - is alles klein goedjies wat vinnig uit gesorteer kan word. Ons het die gevoel gekry dat die plek net as 'n inkomste bedryf word sonder enige passie. Ek en my vrou het in die houthuis bo die parkering gebly. Baie lekker kamer. Geen klagtes hier gewees nie. Alles en alles het ons baie lekker gekuier en kon rondom die paar klein haakplekke werk. Lekker naby die rivier so ons kon sommer daarheen stap.

Cozy among the trees.

We had a great time at John and Noleen's place. The caretaker was kind enough to give us access for about 1½ hours. It was very welcome. However, there are a few things that can be pointed out. We booked for 7 adults. However, the layout of the house is not suitable for this. We did know that 1 bed was a sofa bed before we went. However, the living room part is so small that it makes the sofa bed impractical. The 2 bathrooms are extremely small, so much so that you have trouble moving around with ease. Kitchenware is all there, but a little attention wouldn't hurt. Plastic wine glasses that have all been dull washed, no scrubber for pots, no grill brush - are all small things that can be quickly sorted out. We got the feeling that the place is run only as an income without any passion. My wife and I stayed in the log house above the parking lot. Very nice room. No complaints here. All in all we had a great time and were able to work around the few small snags. Nice close to the river so we could just walk there.

Was adequate.

There was a bad smell, swimming pool was empty.

John and Noleen's Place 's response

Thank you for your review, Neels. Please note that during the week of your booking, we experienced non-stop rain, receiving over 100mm, which is why the splash pool was empty. The unwanted smell might have been a result of the incessant rains, making it challenging to leave the windows open for sufficient ventilation. We will address these concerns going forward. Above all, thank you for your support.

Too closed off, no animals can be viewed from the property.

Place is well-maintained but totally enclosed, no wildlife can be seen. Cleaner, which we paid extra for, needs a crash course on housekeeping. Needs extra candles or battery lights for load shedding.

John and Noleen's Place 's response

Thank you for acknowledging that the place is well maintained and the challenge was no wild animals passing by. On that note kindly note that the park was full of guests and feeding of animals elsewhere was high. If animals are not fed they simply favor those areas where guests feed them with animal feed. With regards to the cleaner your recommendations are acknowledged. Load shedding is every one living nightmare. We did provide an extra gas stove off the grid to make your stay manageable under load shedding. In future we will add rechargeable lighting as recommended. It is important to kindly note that we did enquire if everything was okay, however, no complain was raised at the time of which we could have addressed. We hope to host you in future.

A lovely, clean place, well-stocked with everything you need. Owners phoned to check in and send loadshedding times so we could prepare. Reed fencing around the stoep was perhaps a bit high for animal viewing but other than that, we had such a lovely stay.

Had a great time at this house. Clean, well-stocked and owners/agent checking in. Would happily recommend to others.

Ons het baie lekker gekuier dankie. Als wat ons benodig het was in die huis. Die loft cabin is ook 'n baie netjiese kamer.

Fekile was baie behulpsaam. Wat ek dalk kan aanbeveel is dalk 'n paar los stoele wat maklik rondgeskuif kan word - die bankies by die braai is baie ongemaklik. Anders as dit het ons baie lekker gekuier, dankie.

We had a great time, thank you. Everything we needed was in the house. The loft cabin is also a very neat room.

Fekile was very helpful. What I might recommend is perhaps some loose chairs that can be easily moved around - the benches at the barbecue are very uncomfortable. Other than that we had a great time, thank you.

Good Day Johannes V

Thank you first and foremost for your overall review of our establishment. We are also glad that most of the categories you scored, you scored us well except for the shower in the room you used. Kindly note that we live in the bush and we use gas as our form of energy. Each bathroom has its own geyser with a 12l capacity which is estimated to be enough to shower. However should there be a need for a repeat circle the geyser allows that to happen to the guest satisfaction. Your complaint is noted and we do have other rooms with bigger shower and bath tub and a king size bed, we hope to accommodate you in that room in future.
Regards

Was teleurgesteld.

Alhoewel dit 'n plek met hope potensiaal is, is dit baie verwaarloos en kort baie aandag. Ons was daar as 'n familie vir my pa se verjaardag en hy is 'n groot rugby ondersteuner en dit was toetsrugby - Springbokke teen die Ierse Leeus, die plek word duidelik geadverteer met DStv Premium-pakket, dit is egter die teendeel, dis die DSTV Compact-pakket, wat natuurlik 'n groot teleurstelling was. In die huis self is die twee badkamers geweldig beknop en die storte is 'n probleem met warm water. Van die gordyne in die kamer het sommer los gehang agter die bed, was nie ingehaak bo nie en dit het baie slordig gelyk, die kas binne se een rak is gebreek. Die kamer bo aan die buitekant is pragtig en die bad baie mooi, maar die toilet sitplek is stukkend, die brandblusser daarbo was in die rooi en sou nie werk as mens dit sou nodig kry nie - wat 'n probleem kan wees aangesien dit 'n houtkamer is. Die buite stel tafel en stoele is oud en die kussings op die bankies is stukkend en lyk net onaangenaam. Ek is baie teleurgesteld in die plek, het regtig meer verwag vir die prys.

Was disappointed.

Although it is a place with heaps of potential, it is very neglected and needs a lot of attention. We were there as a family for my father's birthday and he is a big rugby supporter and it was test rugby - Springboks against the Irish Lions, the place is clearly advertised with DStv Premium package, however it is the opposite, it is the DSTV Compact package, which was obviously a huge disappointment. In the house itself, the two bathrooms are extremely cramped and the showers are a problem with hot water. Some of the curtains in the room were just hanging loose behind the bed, were not hooked at the top and it looked very untidy, one shelf inside the cupboard was broken. The room upstairs on the outside is beautiful and the bath very nice, but the toilet seat is broken, the fire extinguisher upstairs was in the red and wouldn't work if you needed it - which could be a problem as it is a log room is. The outside table and chairs are old and the cushions on the benches are broken and just look unpleasant. I am very disappointed in the place, really expected more for the price.

Good Day
Thank you for the review and we strongly cherish reviews as they facilitate improvement to our establishment. In light of that we wish to address your discomfort as follows
1. The profile on Travelground specifically mentioned Dstv as compact package not premium. Upon checking lekker slap we found out that the information was not updated which we apologize. However it is important and fair that I mention that when you complained about it we offered to upgrade the package to your need during your stay and you REJECTED the offer and preferred to go to nearest restaurant which is five minutes away from our establishment. This gesture was in line with our customer service and ensuring your comfort was considered at all times. Furthermore, We even advised you that we had a Helper on site should you wish to utilize her services. That is the furthest we could provide to you our guest during your stay.
2. With regards to the hot water system we live in the Bush and we use gas geysers and every room has its own geyser. The geysers has timers and you can repeat the process multiple times to your satisfaction when bathing. In future we will look into maybe installing electric geysers but for now the gas geyser was recommended.
3. The toilet lid was broken by the guest who left the day you checked in and the plumber has since fixed the problem. Because of covid there are very few maintenence people on site.
4. Fire extinguisher is due for service this week Thursday and thanks for highlighting that up. In future we will display all the information on the wall.
5. The cushions we put on outside bench was for guests comfort so we thought was an extra mile especially for women and we have removed them after your complaint. Having addressed all your complaint,
We hope to host you in future.
Regards

Lekker plek vir 'n kort tydjie in die bos.

Vol toegeruste plek met fantastiese kuier-area. Baie naby aan die Krokodilbrug-ingang na die Krugerwildtuin. Ons dogtertjie was mal oor die diere wat naby die huis verby beweeg en die waterpark wat 5 minute weg is. Die slaapkamers wat weg van mekaar af is was bietjie onprakties vir ons as gesin en die plastiekglase gee ook nie die regte atmosfeer vir 'n drankie nie.

Nice place for a short time in the forest.

Fully equipped place with fantastic visiting area. Very close to the Crocodile Bridge entrance to the Kruger National Park. Our little girl loved the animals that pass by near the house and the water park that is 5 minutes away. The bedrooms being away from each other was a bit impractical for us as a family and the plastic glasses don't give the right atmosphere for a drink either.

Teleurstelling.

Die eienaars was baie vriendelik en het dadeik gehelp met die dinge waarmee ons nie gelukkig was nie. Die grootste teleurstelling was dat op die advertensie sê dit dat mens diere kan sien wat water kom drink by die watergat vanaf die dek (uitkykdek) maar jy kan niks sien nie, al waaraan jy vaskyk is bome. Dit is die grootste rede hoekom ons die plek bespreek het so dit was 'n groot teleurstelling om absoluut niks te kon sien nie. Die ander probleem was die stort in albei kamers, die geyser is baie klein en die water is net warm vir 'n minuut of twee daarna word die water yskoud dan moet jy weer 'n paar minute wag vir die water om warm te word. Die laaste probleem was die swembadjie, daar was niks in die swembad om die water bietjie te sirkuleer nie, so dis die heeltyd net stilstaande water gewees, ons was te bang om te swem want ons was nie seker hoe lank die water al so staan nie. Ek sal ook voorstel dat hulle 'n lig by die braaier sit want ons moes 'n flitslig gebruik het as ons wil braai, die lig wat wel buite was, was 'n sensorlig wat net vir 'n paar minute aanbly, ons moes maar kort-kort voor die lig gaan staan het sodat die lig kan aangaan. Ons het eintlik een dag voor die tyd teruggery huis toe omrede ons nie die bly plek baie geniet het nie.

Disappointment.

The owners were very friendly and really helped with the things we weren't happy with. The biggest disappointment was that on the advertisement it says that you can see animals coming to drink water at the watering hole from the deck (viewing deck) but you can't see anything, all you stare at are trees. This is the main reason we booked the place so it was a huge disappointment to be able to see absolutely nothing. The other problem was the shower in both rooms, the geyser is very small and the water is only hot for a minute or two then the water becomes ice cold then you have to wait a few more minutes for the water to warm up. The last problem was the pool, there was nothing in the pool to circulate the water a bit, so it was just stagnant water the whole time, we were too scared to swim because we weren't sure how long the water had been standing like that . I would also suggest that they put a light by the grill because we should have used a flashlight if we wanted to grill, the light that was outside was a sensor light that only stayed on for a few minutes, we just had to -shortly before the light stopped so that the light can come on. We actually drove back home one day early because we didn't enjoy the place very much.

Thank you for highlighting your concerns encountered during your stay. All the concerns are being addressed, the geyser has been upgraded, the splash pool water circulatory is in place and the website was updated accordingly.
Thank you once again for raising these concerns, as they will help us to continue improving our business.
We would like to continue accommodating you and your family again, if ever you decide to visit Marloth park.
With kind regards,
