Very peaceful and was able to rest wonderfully.
Our family really enjoyed the visit. The owner is busy with upgrades and we have also given our suggestions. The house is small and has the basics you need. The pool is permanently in the cool and basically never gets sun and therefore stays ice cold. At least we could swim, but didn't last long. The selling point is definitely the top deck and the view over the Crocodile River. Every evening's sunset was picture perfect and elephants, waterbucks, impalas, kudus, hippos and a lot of others came down to the river to drink during the day.

Peaceful stay.
Majuli River Lodge is neat, clean and comfortable and was ready on our arrival. Mercy made sure we were satisfied and showed us everything on arrival. She is very friendly and helpful. View from the deck is great. Very peaceful environment. Boma is very nice. Just a little low to grill on too, +- 30cm from the ground. With the wind blowing, the sand blows easily on the meat, and it is uncomfortable to stand hunched all the time and grill. Pool is great and a bonus. Aircon inside also saved us from 38 degrees, which Mercy had already put on before our arrival. thank you very much. Animals often pass by, and were able to enjoy eating the game pellets that we took with us. Suggest a separate grill, which is higher would be ideal. Canopy for the vehicle also a big plus. We really enjoyed it terribly. Will definitely stay here again, thank you very much.

Thank you for taking the time to review us. Also thank you for your offer of investing in the house as part of a partnership and then to offer to buy the house outright. With it's brilliant location and view, we get that a lot but thanks again.
Our employee, Mercy offered to come daily and service the house when checking you in. You refused this. I'm sure any cleaning issues could have been addressed during your stay if you wanted it.
I have spoken to the manager and cleaner of the house to ensure we take all your points onboard. There is to be a full review completed in the next day or two and we will put an action plan to rectify any issues. Most of our reviews are positive but we take negative ones seriously.
Apologies again that the house wasn't to your standard and thanks again for the offer of partnership! Sorry we couldn't make it happen

We would have liked it if the trees and bushes could have been cut lower so that you could also see the river from the lower porch. The place is neat and safe. We had a great time, the deck just gets incredibly hot, so we decided to cut the bushes by the lower porch. Thank you very much we will definitely come back again.

Many animals in Marloth.
The best part of Majuli River Lodge is the deck with its view of the river and animals near the lodge. Unfortunately the lodge itself is a bit old and in need of attention. The lodge has what is needed, but it's all uncomfortable. The shower curtain sits very low and only my small children did not need to bend down to get into the shower. After the 6th time the curtain fell off, I stopped putting it back. Cutlery is provided, but kept on the lowest shelf in the kitchen and one has to bend far for a teaspoon. The table and chairs on the deck do not fit together and it was very uncomfortable to eat, the table is high and the chairs low. Even I who am almost 2 m tall sat on a cushion to get better. The customer service is good and booking went smoothly, we were warmly welcomed. The WiFi worked well. At R1500 per night I expected more.

I am so sorry we changed your booking. We made a mistake and double booked so thought we would upgrade you to another house on the river that charges double what you paid. We thought that was the least we could do and we absorbed the extra cost. I am sorry it didn't live up to your expectations and I will pass on your comments to the owner.

Already recommended it to all my friends. Excellent value for money. Loved tanning on the deck while elephants, buffalo and hippos grazed down in the Crocodile River. The animals in Marloth Park are beautiful. Two small things, the cupboards in the room could use some attention, especially for people staying longer than a week. At the braai area some of the weeds can be removed. It's not negative, just constructive criticism. If I should go again, this would be the place I stay and as I mentioned I have already recommended it to friends.

When you sit on the deck early in the morning with a coffee and a piece of biscuit in your hand and feel the gentleness of the night and the morning on your body, the words "be still and know I am God" come to mind. We realize again how small we are and that there is a bigger hand that keeps everything under control.

Absolutely fantastic. Incredible tranquility and view.
It was delicious, just too short. This is such a small piece of heaven that has fallen here. The view is incredible, as is the tranquility. The animal sounds and the birds are unique. Here you get your soul back from the everyday rush to nothing. Here you can become human again. Many thanks to Maritsa and Dean for your kindness. If you want to complain about something then just complain it's fantastic. All I would recommend is the possible placement of a small fridge above. If you sit up on the deck and enjoy nature with a cool one, you have to refill the fridge every now and then.

Thank you for choosing us for your stay in Marloth Park and we are delighted you enjoyed your stay. Also thank you for taking the time to get in touch. I have my manager looking at the stools as we speak. As they are outside they get exposed to the elements more so the wood might have shrunk and made them a little wobbly. We will repair or replace immediately.

Thank you for your booking and thank you for taking the time to write a review.
The house is quite cosy so we decided not to have a bath and instead went for showers. There is a lovely lit up splash pool directly outside the house. I will speak to the manager regarding the floors to review them and see if we can reduce the noise.
Also I see you only gave 3 stars for security. I am sorry for this. Marloth Park is statistically one of the safest places in South Africa with guards on the entrances. We also have 24 security located in the park. we maybe should have explained that to you to make you feel more secure. Sorry.
Thanks again for the booking and review. Majuli River Lodge
