Rustig - Skoon, netjies, aangenaam - Loop afstand vanaf uitkykpunt.

Baie aangename tyd gewees. Baie skoon en netjies. Mooi natuur, lekker rustig met heelwat diere wat kom besoek. Sal vir seker weer daar gaan bly. Elke dag word dit skoongemaak en die dame wat skoonmaak is altyd vriendelik, stiptelik en haar werk is uitstekend.

Quiet - Clean, tidy, pleasant - Walking distance from viewpoint.

It was a very pleasant time. Very clean and tidy. Beautiful nature, nice and quiet with lots of animals that come to visit. Will definitely stay there again. Every day it is cleaned and the cleaning lady is always friendly, punctual and her work is excellent.

Heerlik rustig.

Twee goed was ietwat problematies: 1. Die slotte aan die glasdeur is onprakties vir 'n pensionaris. Ek kon nie self die boonste en onderste een oop/toesluit nie. 2. Die ligte binnekant is baie dof en sterker ligte sal waardeer word.

Wonderfully peaceful.

Two things were somewhat problematic: 1. The locks on the glass door are impractical for a pensioner. I couldn't open/close the top and bottom one by myself. 2. The lights inside are very dim and stronger lights would be appreciated.

Ons het heerlik gerus en kinders het dit geniet om die bokkies te voer.

Ons het dit baie geniet. Die eienaar het net gesukkel om vir ons te reël vir WiFi maar dit was die laaste dag reg. Ons tevrede met sy diens. Baie dankie.

Diere baie lief vir hierdie plek.

Die diere wat daagliks hierdie plek besoek is duiker, koedoe, vlakvark, ribbok, rooibok, apies, uil en natuurlik die nagapies. Die diens is baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig soos almal reeds genoem het. Ons sal graag weer wil besoek as ons kansie het.

Animals love this place.

The animals that visit this place daily are diver, kudu, warthog, ribbuck, roebuck, monkeys, owl and of course the night monkeys. The service is very friendly and helpful as everyone has already mentioned. We would love to visit again if we have the chance.

Love Bushbaby Lodge!

What a beautiful little slice of paradise! The accommodation is clean and comfortable with all the amenities that you would ever need for a relaxed and pleasant breakaway. The inside and outside of the property is spotless clean, neat and tidy, with extra effort and TLC to the garden area which is tropical and very pretty. The front cleared area is also ideal for the visiting animals to gather and have a relaxed snooze in the shade after enjoying a handful of pellets and water. Winston, the caretaker, is a very pleasant and efficient chap making sure the fireplaces are cleaned and tidy before you even get up for breakfast in the morning. Highly recommended!

Wat 'n plek! Perfek geleë vir wild kyk in Marloth Park. Sit op die stoep en die diere kom verby.

Die woning is skoon en netjies regtig waarde vir geld. Alles binne en buite die huis wat jy nodig het is daar. " Bushbaby" kom so 18:00 uit om te kom eet aan die vrugte wat jy vir hulle uitgesit het. Hoor die leeus brul in die nag en die hiënas kerm. Baie wild om die huis soggens en saans. Baie aangename naweek gewees Baie dankie.

What a place! Perfectly located for wildlife viewing in Marloth Park. Sit on the porch and the animals come by.

The house is clean and tidy, really value for money. Everything inside and outside the house you need is there. "Bushbaby" comes out around 18:00 to come eat the fruit you put out for them. Hear the lions roar at night and the hyenas whine. Lots of wildlife around the house in the morning and evening. It was a very pleasant weekend, thank you very much.

Ons hoop om beslis meer gereeld Bushbaby met julle te deel.

Jammer om dit te sê maar dit was nie wat ons verwag het nie.

Die probleem wat ons ondervind het, het nie verband met die bogenoemde ster toekennings nie. Dit is 'n baie mooi plek. Dit is egter nie geskik vir vreemdelinge om saam gegooi te word nie. Ons het die gevoel gekry dat ons die privaatheid van die ander groep skend, en het dus nie die swembad gebruik nie. Die ander groep het besoekers ook gehad en hulle het dit baie geniet. Ons het die plek op Kersdag ontruim en na familie toe gegaan op Sabie. Verhuur die plekke aan mense wat as een groep daar kan gaan kuier, sal dit in die vervolg so bespreek. (Dit is nie julle skuld nie, ons moes self meer vrae gevra het). Nogmaals dankie vir al julle moeite. Daar is 'n buitestoel wat stukkend is wat ons op 'n tydelike manier (met stuk draad) bruikbaar kon maak.

Sorry to say but it was not what we expected.

The problem we encountered is not related to the above star awards. It is a very beautiful place. However, it is not suitable for strangers to be thrown together. We got the feeling that we were violating the privacy of the other group, so we didn't use the pool. The other group also had visitors and they enjoyed it very much. We vacated the place on Christmas Day and went to family on Sabie. Rent out the places to people who can visit as a group, will discuss it in the sequel. (It's not your fault, we should have asked more questions ourselves). Thanks again for all your efforts. There is an outdoor chair that is broken that we were able to make usable in a temporary way (with a piece of wire).

Hi Maryna,

Baie dankie vir jou terugvoer. Ons waardeer dit opreg. Ons kry baie keer mense wat albei eenhede saam bespreek - dit is sekerlik ideaal.
Hoop julle kan volgende keer so 'n spannetjie opmaak. Jammer as die ander besoekers julle dalk gesteur het.
Baie voorspoedige nuwe jaar vir julle!

Groete,
Hannes

Gerieflik en goed in gerig vir twee persone.

Ek sal wel aanbeveel dat julle gaste voor die tyd inlig dat daar geen skoonmaakmiddels of afdroogdoeke is nie. Dit is baie ongerieflik as jy nie skottelgoed kan afdroog nadat dit gewas is nie.

Comfortable and well designed for two people.

I would recommend that you inform your guests ahead of time that there are no cleaning products or drying cloths. It is very inconvenient if you cannot dry dishes after washing them.

Goeie more Annelie,

Jammer om te verneem dat daar nie skoonmaak middels en afdroog doeke was tydens julle besoek nie.
Ek is nie seker wat gebeur het nie, maar on het 'n bediende wat daagliks veronderstel is om in te kom en die eenhede te diens en skottelgoed te was.
Dit lyk vir my of sy dalk nie tydens julle besoek opgedaag het nie.
Baie jammer daaroor.
