We really enjoyed our stay at Koekoek. Comfortable beds and everything we needed.

Marloth Park has relatively easy access to Crocodile Bridge gate at the Kruger. The staff at Crocodile Bridge were very helpful and efficient. Koekoek had everything that we needed but could perhaps do with a few loadshedding lights as we had loadshedding two or three times a day. The aircons work well for hot days and the pool was refreshing. We were a group of 8 people and there was more than enough glasses, cutlery and crockery. 4 bedrooms, one with a double bed and 3 bedrooms with 2 single beds each. They had enough bath towels which was also nice. Two fridges were also much appreciated. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and will definitely go again.

The house has everything you need for a family and is especially good for families with young kids.

Koekoek Guesthouse is really great for families with small children. It's always a worry bringing kids into a place that is so wild, but the house has a great enclosed outdoor area where kids can still interact with the wildlife and be safe, this was a huge plus for us with my 4 small grandkids.

Thanks for your review Sandra. I am so glad you and the family had a nice time and you enjoyed the security I put in place so the small kids are safe .

Sal nie weer by Koekoek bespreek nie.

Huis nie skoon gemaak. Aircons alleen in 1 kamer. 3 Kamers sonder aircon. Braai geriewe pateties. TV werk nie. Badkamers net 'n klein los spieël.

Baie lekker plek om te bly, als wat jy nodig het is daar.

Die huis is ruim, daar is genoeg plek vir 'n groot familie. Die eienaar is baie behulpsaam, het selfs op 'n Vrydagaand vir ons laat gas aflewer vir die braai. Dankie dat ons in julle huis kon bly, sal beslis weer gaan.

We had a great time with the kids but an annoying neighbour was always on our case.

She would call security that we are making noise even if we are not.

Love Marloth but unfortunately will not stay at Koekoek Guesthouse again.

I'm aware the place is in the bush but the house is in desperate need of fumigation. The braai needs to be replaced. It fell apart and my husband had to wire it together. Cleaning is done on a surface level. Pictures on the site are in desperate need of an update as these give a false expectation. Why is there a need for the fence around the pool area? It does not keep anything out and makes you feel very closed in.

Koekoek Guesthouse 's response

The swimming pool is closed for the reason the animals that roam in Marloth park, so that they do not fall into the pool and drown, it is not a lifted pool, it is built into the ground. During your stay at Koekoek the caretaker was there a few times to check and asked if there were any problems, and nobody mentioned any of the above problems, we could have taken care of the problems straight away and your stay could have been more pleasurable.

Wonderlike plek, skoon, ruim, netjies en vreeslik rustig. Sien baie diere daar ook.

Ons as 'n gesin van 8 volwassenes + een kleinkind van 2jr het dit vreeslik geniet by Koekoek Guesthouse. Die plek is lekker groot en ruim, skoon en lekker koel met die hoë dak, en dit was baie rustig daar gewees. Alles was net reg en lekker gewees. Die huis is ook smaaklik gemeubileer en het baie spasie. Ons het baie diere daar gesien soos die koedoes, bosbokkies, varkies, rooibokke, volstruise en kameelperde, en alles vanaf die agterstoep wat 'n groot bonus was vir ons. Ek sal regtig die plekke aanbeveel vir enige iemand en ek self sal weer daarnatoe gaan. Baie dankie dat die eienaar die plekkie beskikbaar gestel het vir ons om die bosgevoel te kan geniet.

Wonderful place, clean, spacious, tidy and very peaceful. See lots of animals there too.

We as a family of 8 adults + one grandchild of 2 years enjoyed it very much at Koekoek Guesthouse. The place is nice and big and spacious, clean and nice and cool with the high roof, and it was very peaceful there. Everything was just right and nice. The house is also tastefully furnished and has a lot of space. We saw many animals there like the kudus, ibex, piglets, impalas, ostriches and giraffes, and all from the back porch which was a big bonus for us. I would really recommend the places to anyone and I myself would go there again. Many thanks to the owner for making the place available for us to enjoy the feeling of the forest.

Waarde vir geld en met alles wat jy nodig het.

Waarde vir geld vir 'n familie wegbreek met alle geriewe wat jy kan nodig kry. Rustig en stil naby Kruger Park. 'n Lekker vuurmaak plek sal 'n goeie toevoeging wees.

Value for money and everything you need.

Value for money for a family getaway with all the amenities you may need. Quiet and peaceful, close to the Kruger National Park. A nice fire place would be a good addition.

Baie rustig, goed geleë vir Krugerwildtuin te besoek.

Ons het baie lekker gekuier, as die eienaar wil verbeter kan hul skoonmaakdienste aanbied, daar was geen toiletpapier met aankoms nie en skoonmaakmiddels was maar skaars (besem, mop ens). Koffiekoppies is baie klein, verder was dit 'n top naweek.

Very quiet, well located for visiting Kruger National Park.

We had a great time, if the owner wants to improve they can offer cleaning services, there was no toilet paper on arrival and cleaning supplies were scarce (broom, mop etc.). Coffee cups are very small, otherwise it was a top weekend.

'n Baie mooi en gerieflike huis.

Was baie opgewonde oor besoek. Moes egter baie oproepe maak en lank wag om sleutels te kry. Lieflike fasilitiete, maar gesukkel met sleutels by aankoms en vertrek het 'n wrang smaak in mond gelaat.

A very nice and comfortable house.

Was very excited about visiting. Had to make a lot of calls and wait a long time to get keys though. Lovely facilities, but struggling with keys on arrival and departure left a sour taste in the mouth.

Dit was 'n ongelooflike verjaarsdag geskenk van my familie en vriende.

Dit is 'n lekker groot huis, maar benodig 'n bietjie aandag. Ons sal definitief weer teruggaan. Die huis kort net 'n braai-area waar jy 'n lekker vuur kan maak. Dankie dat julle so spoedig gereageer het toe ons probleme gehad het.

It was an amazing birthday present from my family and friends.

This is a nice big house but needs some attention. We will definitely go back again. The house just needs a braai area where you can make a nice fire. Thank you for responding so quickly when we had problems.
