Unforgettable.
We spent the week at Marloth Bush Retreat and asked if we could check in early as we are about 900 meters from them and had to check out at 10h00. The place was ready, neat and clean. The house had all the necessary things that one needs to have a good time. The pool was spotless, and the garden looked wonderful. We had an incredible number of animals that came to visit us, day and night. I would recommend people who would like to have a peaceful, very luxurious holiday/weekend to contact them. He is also a cook, and makes his own pizzas from his home, right next to the holiday home. I will definitely visit them again. Thank you very much for the kindness and assistance right through our stay.

Divers, ibex, zebras, kudus, impalas and many pigs came to visit! Can definitely recommend the place and will use the facility again. Marloth Bush Retreat is value for money.

Beautiful place in the middle of the forest.
Marloth Bush Retreat is a gem in the middle of the bush. The large splash pool was a relief in the summer heat. The house is large and neatly furnished. The bathrooms are extremely modern and spacious. The owner welcomed us kindly and explained all rules and regulations nicely. Although the accommodation was located right next to the owners' apartment, it didn't bother us at all. Another advantage is that the accommodation can also accommodate up to 8 people. We would only have liked a firepit spot, to be able to watch the bush TV, although there are good braai facilities.

Relaxed and especially enjoyed the splash pool.
Friendly host and hostess. It was very hot and we just cooled off in the splash pool. Saw many animals. Zebras, mongoose, divers and the night monkey. Especially the little warthogs were very cute and the kudus came around often. We were lucky to see a large mane on the other side of the river and herds of elephants. Unit has everything needed. No complaints.

Marloth Bush Retreat 's response
I really appreciate the fact that Mr. Putter took the time to write a review, as this is the only way things can be improved. However, I am shocked to read this review, especially when we have such great reviews. The guest did not complain about anything at the time, although we engaged with him several times, and I live right next door. He paid a discounted price and also brought an extra guest with him, without prior booking, for which we did not ask payment! With that in mind, he paid R170.60 per person per night. I consider this value for money. I know people have different expectations. I regret that this guest's expectations were so woefully not met. As far as I understood, he told me he was leaving as his friends had accommodation where they could all stay together.
We have open parkland in front of the property, which makes for a wildlife haven, with lots of visiting animals, so our location should merit more than 2 stars. Our security has never been in jeopardy here in 14 years that we have had this house. With all these ratings, to my mind, being under-played, I will be double checking the cleanliness, which is normally particularly good, but I will review this closely, as I personally think this is one of the most important ratings. I truly hope the rest of Mr Putter's stay in Marloth Park was enjoyable.

I was very disappointed with the accommodation, the photos are very deceiving.
Firstly, the shower on the first floor's water leaked right through to the bottom bathroom. There was no casserole in the kitchen, some of the fork's prongs were bent. The place can accommodate 8 people, but most of the utensils does not make provision for 8 people. The towels smelled off. The Braai-facilities are not much better, the braai grid hangs from a chain and it is very unstable. The fact that the braai facilities isn't under a roof is another big problem, because you have no shelter against the rain, if it were to rain. Prospective guests are asked to bring their own wash and drying cloths, which we did, but the one drying cloth they had there looked more like a floor cloth.

Marloth Bush Retreat 's response
Ek woon direk langsaan die vakansie huis so sal graag enige tekortkominge dadelik regstel. Ek is altyd dankbaar vir konstruktiewe terugvoer. Net voor hulle vertrek het ek verneem dat die stort lek. Dit kan natuurlik gebeur. Die volgende oggend het ek 'n loodgieter ontbied maar hy kon nie 'n fout vind nie. Ek het self in die stort gaan stort maar ook nie n lek ondervind nie. Maar ek vra om verskoning vir die ongerief wat my gaste ondervind het. Die casserole het ek ongelukkig nie gesien is vermis nie. Ek sou dit met een van my eie kon vervang het as ek net in kennis gestel was. Ek vermis aanmekaar eetgerei nadat gaste vertrek. Ek maak verskoning dat ek nie agtergekom het dit is nie voltallig vir agt mense nie. Gelukkig was hulle net 4 gaste. Die rooster werk met n ketting meganisme. Ek weet van niemand van my kennise of vriende in Marloth Park wat 'n onderdak braaiplek het nie. My handdoeke word noukeurig gewas en drooggemaak. Die ekstra afdrooglap wat ek voorsien is nie vervang met n nuwe lap elke week nie maar dis nie n vloerlap nie. Ek is baie trots op my vakansiehuisie en streef altyd vir verbetering. Ek geniet dit om gaste hier te verwelkom teen n bekostigbare prys en vriendelike diens.

Disappointing.
The house has two rooms outside that do not form part of the house. Only one room has a double bed. The place is very cramped and if it rains, eight people cannot fit in the house with only 3 chairs. House is about 3 meters from the owner's house. So no privacy.
