It was the best place in Marlothpark we have ever stayed. The animals across the river are just amazing. And the host is a real host. He cares so much about his guests.

I would definitely recommend the Self-Catering Cottage for people to go and enjoy. It was clean, enough space and a very good location. The price is not unaffordable either.

We had a great time as a family (all pensioners). The accommodation is very wheelchair friendly which made our stay easier.
We especially enjoyed the night owls' visit. We had trouble finding the house on Google Maps. At first we didn't see that Warthog Road continued where it turns towards the river. We were pleasantly surprised with the camping chairs and cushions, it made visiting outside a lot easier. We did miss a single light at the barbeque as all three outside lights worked with only one switch and this attracted a lot of bugs which made sitting outside at night difficult.

Self-Catering Cottage 's response
Dear Kathy
I am so sorry you had these issues with the load shedding in the cottage at Marloth Park. We do have an inverter to keep essential items running during load shedding. These include all lights , fridge, and TV. Appliances that could burn out the battery back-up system like, the oven, microwave and kettle, are disconnected during the hours of load shedding . The new stove has a gas oven and I apologise profusely for not explaining how to use it. Unfortunately on your final afternoon on the 13th, Eskom had a major fault throughout the Marloth Park section and was only repaired the following evening . The battery back up had subsequently run flat during the evening without Eskom charging it
Once again I apologise for any inconvenience caused during the load shedding
Kind regards
Rodney

Neat, modern and well located.
Ideal for small to medium groups with all necessary facilities for a short break. The cottage's location next to the Kruger National Park/Crocodile River meant we were treated to the sound of elephants trumpeting while we barbecued and relaxed in the pool. With just a few steps, we could also see the elephants for ourselves where they grazed on the other side of the wire. We were also close to the shopping centers and restaurants, while still being able to enjoy our privacy. The cottage is neat and modern and I would definitely like to stay there again in the future.

Restful.
Tidy. Friendly host. Many bird species seen. The cottage is located opposite the wildlife garden's fence. The upper floor is delightful with two bedrooms and bathroom with deck and lookout tower. The youngsters could have hung out there all day while we hung out downstairs at the braai. The unit is very well and conveniently laid out.

Very nice but the view area was a disappointment.
Als was neat and clean, very comfortable house, but we booked the place because we wanted to see a view of the Crocodile River from the house. The house is against the boundary wire of the wildlife park but the viewing area is overgrown by tall trees. Can't really see anything there. (Don't know if it was just like that because it rained so much?) The viewing area should have been just a little higher, so that you can see over the trees. Other than that we were very happy with the stay!

Hi there,
Here in Marloth Park, especially as I am an honorary ranger, we get rid of weeds but keep indigenous vegetation unspoiled for the wild animals to eat. We cut along pathways and a meter around the house.
I know there are many properties with manicured lawns in Marloth Park, but that is not what is good for the animals. The more vegetation that is cut, the fewer animals the Park can sustain. Insects are a fact of life in the bush, especially in summer. Light attracts them to the houses. The windows have gauze to exclude these pests but insect repellent will help if sitting outside.

Dit was vir ons n skok om hierdie terugvoering te kry, omdat ons voor elke besoek seker maak dat die huis deeglik skoon is.
Daar is definetief nie n plaag kokkerotte nie.
Die gaste het ons gladnie gekontak oor enige probleme tydens hulle besoek nie sodat ons toekortkominge dadelik kon regstel nie.
Daar was reeds 'n groot afslag gegee per persoon vir 'n groot huis reg op die rivier wat uitkyk op die wildtuin.

Very nice, just too short.
Very nice house. Located by river and not far from main road. Kudus/zebras/roebucks and warthogs came to visit and in the evening the night owl. Only shower in master bedroom is hot and then cold and then hot again and then cold again. And then a request: put a security gate on the door leading to the car. Had to keep the door closed all the time when we sat outside on the porch for baboons and safety. Kitchen and living room then become hot and stuffy.

Dankie vir julle kuiertjie. Dit was 'n plesier om julle hier te huisves. En dankie vir die terugvoer. 'n Veiligheidshek is a goeie idee.
Die water temperatuur wissel as gevolg van Marloth Park se waterdruk. Dit is ook 'n goeie idee om nie die warm water te stel as die water te warm is nie, maar net koue water groter oop te maak want soms sal die gas wat die water verhit afskakel as die druk te veel wissel.
