Heerlike netjiese verblyf.

Ek het 2 aande vir my ouers gebook en het 'n ekstra aand gratis ontvang wat my ouers opreg waardeer het. Hulle het baie diere gesien en het die swembad baie geniet. Die verblyf was baie netjies en my ouers kon rus sonder enige bekommernisse.

Lovely neat accommodation.

I booked 2 nights for my parents and received an extra night for free which my parents really appreciated. They saw many animals and really enjoyed the pool. The accommodation was very neat and my parents could rest without any worries.

Weekend in the bush.

The house was clean and it had everything that you can need in a holiday home, I loved the pool, it was clean and warm for all seasons, the beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen had everything, I am so happy. Will definitely visit again, my family also loved the house they can't stop talking about it.

Made the best of a bad case.

Kruger Cottage was not equipped with even the basic backup for load shedding - not even candles or matches were supplied. One of the geysers was not working, DSTV was not working, and one fan was not working. No outside dustbin was supplied for rubbish - you must take it with your car to the dumping site. All of this at R2000 per night. We feel ripped off and will not recommend or visit again.

Kruger Cottage 's response

Dear Barry,

Once again, we are so sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction. My guest liaison had reported to me that you were very happy when she did the meet-and-greet, so this did come as a bit of a surprise. We certainly aim to provide a great experience and customer service to our guests, and it saddens me to hear of your disappointment.

I checked around and was not able to find anything cheaper for the time frame that you were interested in. Prices do tend to be higher during school holidays. Please do give us credit for accommodating you at very short notice, with quite a bit of extra effort on the part of my staff to make it work.

We unfortunately do experience consequences from the loadshedding that impacts appliances and we can only deal with this on a reactive/responsive basis....there is no proactive way for us to predict what will go wrong and when. And when things do break down, we are further limited by available manpower and expertise to make the repairs. We are out in the bush and supplies and service vendors are not always readily available. Thankfully the house has two geyers so I'm glad you had at least some access to hot water. I hope you'll be pleased to know that the overhead fan has been replaced, the ailing geyser has been fixed, and the DSTV decoder and satellite dish have all been replaced.

While we don’t provide a generator or inverter, we do provide outside cooking facilities, a two-burner gas stove for inside cooking, and a bright emergency lantern to illuminate the common area. I do send a message to guests asking them to come prepared with their personal torches and other favourite devices. Because your booking was made at such short notice, possibly you didn’t see this. Based on your feedback, I have purchased several additional rachargeable lanterns for the house so that there will be one available for each bedroom and another one for outside. Thank you for the suggestion.

I wish I could wave a magic wand and make it so that people on holiday get a break from loadshedding. It is an unfortunate part of South African reality and it is tricky for us all to deal with.

Hi RP,
We are glad you enjoyed your stay! Unfortunately, with the design of the house being so open plan and with the expansive vaulted ceilings, it is simply not practical for us to include air conditioning. When it's hot, we manage by cooling down in the splash pool before bed then make sure the fans are on in the bedroom.
Thanks for visiting Kruger Cottage, and we hope to host you again!
sincerely,
Lorelle

Vakansie saam met my gesin.

Kruger Cottage was regtig 'n belewenis wat ek vir enige iemand sal aanbeveel. Die huis is baie goed toegerus met alles en meer as wat mens sal benodig. Die eienaar deel goeie inligting voor jou besoek en William (die opsigter) het ons verwelkom en seker gemaak dat ons als het wat ons benodig. Die huis is pragtig skoon. Dit was heerlik om die bosveld so te beleef.

Kruger Cottage was really an experience that I would recommend to anyone. The house is very well equipped with everything and more than one would need. The owner shares good information before your visit and William (the caretaker) welcomed us and made sure we had everything we needed. The house is beautifully clean. It was wonderful to experience the woodland like this.

Dear Jan,
Once again, I can only apologize that we had not completed our exit and cleaning prior to your arrival. We went to Kruger Cottage for 2 weeks of vacation and ended up working there on maintenance and upgrades for 7 weeks. I should, of course, have declined your booking rather than scrambling to try and make it happen. Unfortunately, I only realized this in hindsight.
Nonetheless, I'm glad you enjoyed the location, it really is a magical place. The longer we were there, the less I wanted to leave. Thanks for your understanding and patience given the situation. I hope you will give us another chance in the future.
best regards,
Lorelle

Dit was goed om die diere so van naby te sien.

Die swembadjie was ook 'n lafenis, maar die plek is nie skoon nie. Die foto's is bedrieglik. Op die foto's wys dit nie dat 'n mens deur die een slaapkamer moet loop om by die ander kamer uit te kom nie. Die hoofslaapkamer se bad is in die slaapkamer. Die toilet in die hoofslaapkamer lek. Ons moes self ons vullissakke na die stortingsterrein neem toe ons vetrek het, anders word daar van ons "breakage fee" afgetrek.

The swimming pool was also a pleasure, but the place is not clean. The photos are deceiving. In the photos it does not show that one has to walk through one bedroom to get to the other room.

We had to take our garbage bags to the landfill ourselves when we left, otherwise our "breakage fee" would be deducted.

Die plek kort beslis 'n aircon!

Die plek kort beslis 'n aircon, want die "powerful fans" wat beskryf was help absoluut niks nie. Daar is geen wasmasjien nie en die ligging van die wasgoedlyn (langs die braai-area) en grootte van die wasgoedlyn is nie reg nie. Mens kan nie al die klere ophang van elke inwoner van die kothuis nie. Die breekware is glad nie genoeg vir 7/8 mense om gelyktydig te eet nie. Daar was 4 borde en 3 steak-messe. Dit sal drasties opgegradeer moet word. Een sjampanjeglas vir 7 inwoners? Die asblikke, die hele mandjie voor was vol van ander mense se vullis so ons kon nie ons vullis verwyder nie. Die teëls op die stoep is ongelooflik glad en het veroorsaak dat die kinders val en seerkry. Die deur na die stoep se sleutel was gebreek toe ons dit ontvang het. Ons het maar die slamlock gesluit en die deur ingehaak elke keer. Baie dankie vir die netjiese plek en die ys in die yskas.

The place definitely needs an aircon!

The place definitely needs an aircon, because the "powerful fans" that were described help absolutely nothing. There is no washing machine and the location of the washing line (next to the braai area) and size of the washing line is not correct. One cannot hang all the clothes of every resident of the cottage. The crockery is not at all enough for 7/8 people to eat at the same time. There were 4 plates and 3 steak knives. It will need to be drastically upgraded. One champagne glass for 7 residents? The bins, the whole basket in front was full of other people's rubbish so we couldn't remove our rubbish. The tiles on the porch are incredibly slippery and caused the children to fall and get hurt. The door to the porch key was broken when we received it. We just closed the slamlock and hooked the door every time. Thank you very much for the neat place and the ice in the fridge.

Die Kruger Cottage was volledig toegerus en baie lekker om in te bly. Goed geleë en die natuur is sommer deel van die plek. Sal baie graag weer in die toekoms daar wil bly.

A fantastic place to stay!

The house was well equipped and contained everything we needed with comfortable furniture. Lovely size splash pool. We fed the bushbabies that came to visit every night.

The photos are misleading.

Although the people are very friendly and helpful, the place was very dirty. The pool was brown/green. There is no fence. There is no air-con. For the same amount per night you can stay in a luxury place. There were remains of bugs between the sheets. The floors were so dirty, I sent pictures to the owner. Positive: Cute nightcaps. Animals come close to home. Near Kruger National Park. There are probably people who like the primitive holiday in the woods, but then you don't expect to pay that much per night. The owners are very friendly, but I don't believe they are aware of the dirty conditions at their place.

Kruger Cottage is perfek geleë in Marloth Park.

Kruger Cottage het als wat jy nodig het en genoeg ruimte in die leefarea. Loopafstand van die Krokodilrivier af met 'n lieflike uitsig. Het 'n groot verskeidenheid diere gesien waarvan 'n olifant teenaan die grenslyn was. 'n Perfekte wegbreek in die bosveld.

Kruger Cottage has everything you need and enough space in the living area. Walking distance from the Crocodile River with lovely view. Saw a variety of game - an elephant next to the fence! Perfect getaway in the bush.

Rustig en opwindend met al die diere wat verbykom elke dag.

Ruim huis met lekker kombuis, braai-area en swembad. Dis net wat mens wil hê met vakansie. Die bonus is dis net 100 m van die rivier af en diere kom elke dag by die huis verby.

Peaceful and exciting with all the animals that pass by every day.

Spacious house with nice kitchen, braai area and swimming pool. It's just what you want on vacation. The bonus is that it is only 100 m from the river and animals pass by the house every day.

Daardie plek kort dringend opgradering.

Geen inventaris om inhoud na te gaan nie: 1. Agterdeur kan nie van binne sluit nie ─ onveilig! 2 Toiletsitplek in tweede badkamer stukkend en seepbakkie lê op vloer. 3 Braaipan is so geroes dat ons dit nie wou gebruik nie. 4 Blikoopmaker werk glad nie. 5 Stoofplate se termostate werk nie. 6 Braai-area swak: geen plek om rooster op te sit nie. Ons moes klippe gaan soek. Rooster was onaanvaarbaar vuil. Ons moes dit eers skrop om te kon gebruik. 7 Vloere is baie glad. 8 Patio-stoele se bande is stukkend. 9 Lugreëlaar is regtig nodig. 10 Watter noodmaatreëls is in plek vir kragonderbrekings?

That place is in dire need of upgrading.

No inventory to check content: 1. Back door cannot lock from inside ─ unsafe! 2 Toilet seat in second bathroom broken and soap dish lying on floor. 3 Frying pan is so rusted that we didn't want to use it. 4 Can opener doesn't work at all. 5 Stoves' thermostats do not work. 6 Barbecue area poor: no place to put grill. We had to go look for stones. Grille was unacceptably dirty. We had to scrub it first to be able to use it. 7 Floors are very smooth. 8 Patio chairs' straps are broken. 9 Air conditioner is really necessary. 10 What emergency measures are in place for power outages?

Kruger Cottage 's response

Dear Dottie,
Thank you for taking the time to submit such a detailed list of concerns. We spent several weeks at Kruger Cottage -- just after you left -- to do maintenance and upgrades. We are pleased to report that the changes were so significant that the Tourism Grading Council of South Africa subsequently upgraded our status from 2 stars to 3 stars. We hope you will give us another try, and we will happily offer you a free night of accommodation to apologise to you for your negative experience.
All of your items have been addressed other than the following:
1. The floors are tile, and tile is slippery when wet.
2. We cannot control the power outages, however, we do provide a two-plate gas stove and kerosene lamps to support our guests during these unfortunate times. There is also the outside braai for cooking.
3. We do not provide air-conditioning because it is cost-prohibitive based on previous guests misuse of the units.
Thank you again for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
KRUGER COTTAGE

Dit was regtig 'n besonderse kuier in Kruger Cottage.

Om wilde diere op jou stoep te hê, is baie spesiaal. Dit is veilig vir kinders om te speel en het gereeld langs die Krokodilrivier gaan stap om te sien watter diere ons kon sien. Die Cottage is goed toegerus en baie gemaklik. Definitief 'n hoogtepunt van ons vakansie! Uitstekende waarde vir geld!

It was really a special visit in Kruger Cottage.

Having wild animals on your porch is very special. It is safe for children to play and often walked along the Crocodile River to see what animals we could see. The Cottage is well equipped and very comfortable. Definitely a highlight of our vacation! Excellent value for money!

Aangenaam, rustig, kalm en 'n heerlike uitspanplek!

Wat 'n aangename plek. Die fasiliteite is eenvoudig dog prakties. Ek en my vrou het die week geniet met baie besoekers uit die natuur. Net 'n groot jammerte dat ons weer huistoe moes gaan. Ons het beide 'n deel van ons hart daar verloor en moet definitief binnekort teruggaan om dit te gaan soek!

Dit was 'n fantastiese ervaring en alles was in plek.

Kruger Cottage is 'n besonderse plek en alles is netjies en gerieflik. Die kuiergaste ─ sebras, koedoes en volstruise ─ was 'n groot verrassing en baie nuuskierig. Ek en my vrou beveel Kruger Cottage aan en gee dit sommer volpunte. LekkeSlaap.co.za se diens was puik en absoluut die beste, vriendelikste mense om mee te werk.

As dit nie vir die meegaande frustrasie was nie, was dit 'n baie aangename 2 dae.

Die lys van moets en moenies van Kruger Cottage moet op hul webwerf wees sodat 'n mens 'n ingeligte besluit kan neem. Om die vuilis weg te ry as jy vertrek beteken ek moet die vuilis en as-sak saam met my bagasie laai en gaan weggooi by die vuilishoop. 'n Mens moet jou eie braaiplek skoonmaak sonder gereedskap. Ek sal liewer verkies om by plekke tuis te gaan waar die braaiplek elke oggend skoongemaak word deur die betrokke oord se personeel.

If it wasn't for the accompanying frustration, it was a very pleasant 2 days.

The list of dos and don'ts of Kruger Cottage should be on their website so that one can make an informed decision. Driving the rubbish away when you leave means I have to load the rubbish and ash bag with my luggage and go and throw it away at the rubbish dump. One has to clean one's own braai area without tools. I would prefer to stay at places where the barbeque area is cleaned every morning by the resort's staff.

Alles was skoon en gereed met ons aankoms.

Soos reeds genoem, was die verblyf skoon en netjies, die kommunikasie van die eienaar was deurlopend en hy wou seker maak ons is gelukkig. Ons enigste negatiewe kommentaar is die veiligheid van die gebied. Inteendeel was daar die Woensdagaand met 'n vuurwapen nie ver van ons blyplek af nie op iets/iemand geskiet. As die eienaars/bestuur en Sekuriteitsmaatskappye nie behoorlike toegangsbeheer toepas nie, sal ons nie weer soontoe gaan of dit by ander mense aanbeveel nie.

Everything was clean and ready upon our arrival.

As already mentioned, the accommodation was clean and tidy, the communication from the owner was continuous and he wanted to make sure we were happy. Our only negative comment is the safety of the area. On the contrary, on Wednesday evening something/someone was shot with a firearm not far from our place of residence. If the owners/management and Security companies do not apply proper access control, we will not go there again or recommend it to other people.

Ruskans in die bos!

Ons het heerlik gebly. Die plonspoel was fantasties vir die warm middae. Wild het vrylik om die stoep beweeg wat dit baie besonders gemaak het. Die kothuis is baie goed ingerig en niks het kort gekom nie. Sal weer gaan en sommer die hele familie saam neem.

Gerieflik, maar taamlik afgeleef.

Dit was aangenaam om in Marloth Park te kuier. Die huisie is ruim met genoeg spasie vir nog vier mense. Die huisie is funksioneel. Ons het reën en koue gehad ten tye van ons verblyf, en kon op die eerste dag die Bosveld se Jacuzzi gebruik wat baie aangenaam was.

It was pleasant to visit Marloth Park. The cottage is spacious with enough space for four more people. The cottage is functional. We had rain and cold during our stay, and were able to use the Bosveld's Jacuzzi on the first day, which was very pleasant.

The cottage was clean and well equipped for selfcatering

We really enjoyed our stay. We found everything we needed in the kitchen...a home away from home. The DSTV was however not working as promised as the plug was loose. I would also suggest that the pool be cleaned and filled before guests arrive. Having to do it yourself and then waiting over an hour for it to fill is a bit annoying.

Peaceful Retreat

We really enjoyed our stay at Kruger Cottage. Everything was spotlessly clean. Our only criticism is that there should be a proper bathroom with a shower added on, rather than having the bath in the main bedroom and a very small sink in the toilet area.
