Onvergeetlik.

Ons het die week by Marloth Bush Retreat deurgebring en het gevra of ons vroeg kon inboek, aangesien ons so 900 meter van hulle af is, en 10h00 by die verblyf moes uitgaan. Die plek was gereed, netjies en skoon. Die woning het al die nodige goed gehad wat mens nodig het om lekker te kon kuier. Die swembad was silwerskoon, en die tuin het wonderlik gelyk. Ons het ongelooflik baie diere gehad wat by ons kom kuier het, dag en nag. Ek sal mense wat graag 'n rustige, baie luukse vakansie/naweek wil hê, aanbeveel om met hulle kontak te maak. Hy is ook 'n kok, en maak sy eie pizzas van sy huis af, reg langs die vakansiehuis. Ek sal vir seker weer by hulle gaan kuier. Baie dankie vir die vriendelikheid en bystand reg deur ons verblyf.

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.

Ons is vriendelik ontvang deur Mornè. Alles was skoon en netjies. Baie diere het kom kuier, onder andere vlakvarke, koedoes, bosbokkies, blouwildebeeste, ens. Ons het die paar dae heerlik gerus en baie lekker by Marloth Bush Retreat oorgebly. Dankie vir julle vriendelikheid en gasvryheid. Dit was so lekker! Die tyd het net te vinnig verby gegaan.

Uitstekende keuse!

Die plek laat jou voel jy is letterlik in die bos. Morné is baie gasvry en het seker gemaak alles is in orde. Netjies, veilig, skoon en stil. Naby genoeg aan die winkels. Duikers, bosbokke, zebras, koedoes, rooibokke en baie varke het kom kuier! Kan beslis die plek aanbeveel en sal weer van die fasiliteit gebruik maak. Marloth Bush Retreat is waarde vir jou geld.

Baie dankie aan Morne wat ons kuier so aangenaam gemaak het deur sy gasvryheid en behulpsaamheid. Dit was 'n voorreg om so te kon vakansie hou. Die ete wat op ons laaste aand voorgesit is, was werklik uit die boeke. Morne het ons waarlik getrakteer. Baie dankie Genie en Morne dat ons van jul plek kon gebruik maak.

Pragtige plekkie in die middel van die bos.

Marloth Bush Retreat is 'n juweel in die middel van die bos. Die groot splashpool was 'n lafenis in die somerhitte. Die huis is groot en netjies gemeubileerd. Die badkamers is uiters modern en spasieus. Die eienaar het ons vriendelik verwelkom en alle reëls en regulasies mooi verduidelik. Alhoewel die verblyf reg langs die eienaars se wooneenheid geleë was, het dit ons glad nie gepla nie. Nog 'n voordeel is dat die verblyf ook tot 8 mense kan huisves. Ons sal net graag 'n firepit plekkie wou gehad het, om na die bos-TV te kon kyk, alhoewel daar goeie braaigeriewe is.

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.

Rustig gekuier en veral die splash pool geniet.

Vriendelike gasheer en gasvrou. Dit was baie warm en ons het maar in die splash pool afgekoel. Baie diere gesien. Zebras, mongoose, duikers en die nagapie. Veral die klein vlakvarkies was baie oulik en die koedoes het gereeld kom draai. Ons was gelukkig om 'n groot maanhaar aan die anderkant van die rivier te sien en troppe olifante. Eenheid het alles in wat nodig is. Geen klagtes nie.

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.

Die gasvryheid en privaatheid was so lekker. Definitief baie lekker as ouers privaatheid van kinders will hê. Skoon, netjies en presies wat ons nodig gehad het. Daar was vlakvarke, bokke en apies wat ons verblyf so interessant en cool foto's gemaak het.

Wonderlike wegbreekplekkie om deur en deur die natuur en bos te geniet.

Pragtige plekkie met die beste atmosfeer. Beste plek om te gaan as jy die natuur en buitelewe geniet. Sal definitief weer besoek.

Die rustigheid het ons verblyf die moeite werd gemaak!

Genie en haar seun het uit hulle pad gegaan om ons verblyf so lekker as moontlik te maak! Ek sal Marloth Bush Retreat enige tyd aanbeveel en sal beslis in die toekoms weer daarheen gaan!

Rustig en aangenaam.

Dit was 'n baie aangename naweek dankie. Die paaie in die gebied is redelik maar kan gerus geskraap word vir gewone motors.

Beste waarde vir geld.

Uitstekende waarde vir geld. Die eenheid is voldoende toegerus met alles wat mens benodig vir 'n rustige wegbreek in die natuur. Die hoeveelheid wild in en naby die eenheid was meer as verwag met 'n rustige buite-area, boma en swembad.

Best value for money.

Excellent value for money. The unit is adequately equipped with everything one needs for a peaceful getaway in nature. The amount of wildlife in and near the unit was more than expected with a peaceful outdoor area, boma and pool.

Ek was baie teleurgesteld met die verblyf, foto's is baie bedrieglik.

Eerstens, die stort op die boonste vloer se water het deurgeloop tot in die onderste badkamer. Daar was byvoorbeeld geen casserole in die kombuis, van die vurke se tande is gebuig, dis 'n slaapplek vir 8 mense, maar baie van die eetgerei maak nie voorsiening vir 8 mense nie. Die handdoeke het 'n onwelriekende reuk gehad. Die braaigeriewe laat veel te wense oor, die rooster hang aan 'n ketting en is baie wankelrig. Een groot probleem is dat die braaigeriewe nie onder dak is nie en dus is mens glad nie beskut teen die reën nie, indien dit wel sou reën. Voornemende gaste word aangesê om hulle eie was- en afdroogvadoeke saam te vat, wat ons wel gedoen het, maar die een afdroogvadoek wat wel daar was het meer na 'n vloerlap gelyk.

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.

Teleurstellend.

Die huis het twee kamers buite wat nie deel van die huis vorm nie. Net een kamer het 'n dubbelbed. Die plek is baie beknop en as dit reën kan agt persone nie in die huis pas met net 3 stoele nie. Huis is ongeveer 3 meter van die eienaar se huis af. Dus geen privaatheid nie.

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.

Alles wat jy nodig het vir 'n naweek weg van die huis af.

'n Baie aangename, rustige en stil wegbreek van die besige daaglikse lewe. Dit was so lekker om so naby die wilde diere te wees. Kan dit aanbeveel vir enigiemand wat die natuur geniet.

Everything you need for a weekend away from home.

A very pleasant, peaceful and quiet break from busy daily life. It was so nice to be so close to the wild animals. Can recommend to anyone who enjoys nature.

Dit is nie die ideale verblyf as jy nie in die Wildtuin kan bly nie.

Baie rustig. Dit voel of jy in die Wildtuin self is. Het die bos en diere baie geniet. Verblyf was ideaal vir ons.

This is not the ideal accommodation if you cannot stay in the Wildlife Park.

Very calm. It feels like you are in the Wild Garden itself. Really enjoyed the forest and animals. Accommodation was ideal for us.

Rustig, ontspannend en gerieflik. Lekker naby Krugertuin en die Leeuspruit.

Die eenheid is gerieflik met alle toerusting wat benodig mag word vir 'n lekker, ontspannede verblyf in die natuur. Geniet die diere en voëls, daar is ook nagapies maar ons het hulle nie gesien nie. Onthou dit is die Laeveld, maak dus voorsiening om muskietweermiddels saam te neem.

Quiet, relaxing and comfortable. Very close to Kruger Park and the Lionspruit.

The unit is comfortable with all equipment that may be required for a nice, relaxed stay in nature. Enjoy the animals and birds, there are also night monkeys but we didn't see them. Remember this is the Lowveld, so make provision to take mosquito repellent with you.
