Marloth Park Hippo House

Perfekte bestemming in Marloth Park.

Baie lekker gebly. Plek was netjies en baie diere het kom kuier. Vir die mense van Australië was dit werklik 'n belewenis wat hulle nie vinnig sal vergeet nie. Kamers almal baie goed en gemaklik.

Ideale kuier huis. Pragtige ligging.

Mooi ligging, ruim, interessante kuierhoekies en buite kuier ruimte. Ideale huis vir familie kuiers. Ons het groot waardering vir die hulp tydens die verblyf, asook toe ons goed daar vergeet het.

Great view.

Hippo House is beautiful and I enjoyed my stay.

Awesome.

Baie lekker en die persoon wat daar was om skoon te maak was baie behulpsaam en vriendelik.

Al die diere en goeie vriende maak vir 'n wonderlike wegkomkans.

Ons het die ligging en die huis terdee geniet. Was heerlik om na die seekoeie te luister en die kudus en zebras het kom kuier. Bheki was baie hulpvaardig en vriendelik.

Gemaklik en pragtig.

Die uitsig is stunning, ons het baie lekker gebly.

Vuil.

Was okay, glad nie wat ons in gedagte gehad het van 'n lekker familie kuierhuis nie. Die rivieruitsigdek is regtig 'n mors, trappe-styl. Niemand wil daar bo by die aangelaste lap gaan sit nie.

Memorable.

We enjoyed ourselves but I think they need to improve on having linen changed. There was no housekeepers until on the last day.

So impressed with the location, services and such a beautiful house we really enjoyed our stay, will definitely book again!

The house was clean and serviced daily and even the generator put on during loadshedding by the care taker, great house for family or group of friends, love that it's so close to the fence looking into Kruger over the river, saw plenty of animals on a daily basis!

Moeite werd.

Ons het heerlik gerus en elkeen kon gemaklik doen wat hy wou.

Gerieflike huis met die ideale ligging, lekker en volop kuierareas. Goeie waarde vir geld.

Ons het die huis en fasiliteite baie geniet. Die boonste dek is heerlik vir wildkyk en om die sonsopkoms te geniet. Kamers en badkamers is gerieflik. Enigste kritiek is dat daar meer aandag aan netheid aan dele van die huis en agterkant van die erf gegee moet word.

Amazing stay in comfortable accommodation with everything we needed.

Hippo House provided us with everything we needed. The surroundings are beautiful and the view from the deck is amazing. Marloth Park is a wonderful place to visit and we would recommend it to anyone. Close to Kruger and lots of animals right at the house.

Ongelooflike uitsig!

Huis baie aangenaam met aircons wat goed werk en skoon badkamers en ongelooflike kuier plek vir groot familie!

Gerieflik en waarde vir geld.

Sien sterre.

Good quality accommodation in a great location in the bush.

The house is well equipped, private and in a great location. The viewing deck has great views into the Kruger Park where we spotted many animals during our stay.

Lekker kuiertjie in die bos.

Huis is mooi netjies, die care taker Bheki is vriendelik en baie hulpvaardig. Sal definitief weer soontoe gaan.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The bedrooms were comfortable and en-suite bathrooms perfect.

We were however a bit disappointed with the kitchen, which was very old and grubby. Broken cupboards, we're very grotty. One of the gas stove plates didn't work and the stove unit very wobbly. And the tiles didn't go behind the stove unit, leaving one a bit skeptical about the hygiene. There was not enough cutlery, especially dishing up spoons, wooden utensils for cooking as the plastic ones need replacing. No pot holders for the table and no potato peeler. Sharp knives need attention as the little sharpener didn't work. No plastic plates, or bowls (the two that were there need to be replaced) for children.

The house is really not clean at all and rather uncomfortable.

The house had no proof that it had been cleaned in this Covid times, the guy Bheki doesn't even wear a mask correctly and hangs around so early to clean and leave within almost 30 min the air-cons did not work there was no sanitiser, one tiny soap cube was available, there was no insect repellent which would be expected in such a place and for the price also says that wood is given which was not we had to pay for our own wood. On the Saturday morning I sent my spouse to buy bathroom cleaner doom and polish as well as dishcloths to clean the place as the house needs a good deep clean. We were given towels once and not again the mats and cupboards have never been cleaned. You are afraid to sleep on the beds and cover the couch with a towel before sitting, we are truly disappointed especially in this time and pandemic Covid.

Gemaklik, tranquil, huis weg van die huis.

Ons almal het besluit dat ons so gou moontlik weer sal gaan en die keer langer. Dit is gerieflik, gemaklik en luuks. Dit is wel bietjie sleg dat mens net die rivier van die uitkykpunt kan sien. Die kamers en badkamers is werklik aangenaam. Ons gaan vir seker die ons huis in die bos maak.

Baie rustig en vriendelike mense, netjies skoon en gerieflik.

Het week daar gebly. Mense is vriendelik plek is skoon netjies en het alles wat mens nodig het en alles werk. Kort klein maintenance hier en daar maar niks wat die verblyf beïnvloed. Lekker naby alles geleë en so veilig soos mens seker maar kan wees.

Baie lekker wegbreek!

Die huis was ten volle toegerus met alles wat mens nodig het vir 'n selfsorgeenheid vir 'n groot groep mense. Dit was baie lekker gewees, die ligging van die huis is ook perfek. Die feit dat die kamers lugverkoeling in het het ook baie gehelp.

Asemrowende ervaring, alles wat 'n bosveld-wegbreek kon wees.

Al wat dalk kon verbeter het was die warm water toevoer ─ was onvoldoende vir die 8 mense.

Perfect accommodation.

Staff friendly and helpful. Abri went to the effort to courier something back that was left behind.

Goeie ligging, netjiese huis met baie geriewe.

Ons was 'n groep van 2 gesinne, een met tieners. Hippo House is 'n gerieflike bestemming. Die kamers is netjies, en die leefareas beloof heerlike kuiers. Ons het heerlik saam gekuier, kos gemaak en luilekker in die swembad afgekoel. Ons het niks meer nodig gehad as wat die huis gebied het nie. Die ysmasjien is 'n bonus, want dit is iets wat ons altyd saam ry. Die lekker groot yskas en vrieskas in die kombuis en die yskas in die kroeg dra baie by tot die gerief van die huis, daar is meer as genoeg plek om alles koud te hou in die warm weer. Die lugreëlings in die slaapkamers en leefarea maak ook 'n kuier baie gerieflik. Die dek bo kyk regtig tot binne in Kruger en ons het ons vroeë oggende en laat middae geniet met wildkyk. Anton se diens was skitterend en hy het regtig uit sy pad gegaan om seker te maak ons is tevrede. Ons het elke dag 'n silwerskoon swembad en braai gehad. Dankie Anton.

Lekker kuierhuis, maar kort onderhoud.

Die bestuurder, Anton, was baie deeglik, vriendelik en het baie gehelp. Ons het vir 2 dae geen warm water gehad in 2 badkamers nie, maar Anton het gereël dat die gas vervang word. Die kombuis op die tweede verdieping pla so effe aangesien almal buite kuier en braai. Die braaigeriewe is baie lekker en al die implemente in die kombuis is luuks, nuut en fantasties. Die hoofslaapkamer met die en suite-badkamer se lakens kan vervang word- dit lyk baie oud, en daar is ook vismotte in die bed gevind. Verder moet onderhoud gedoen word aan die huis (hekkie val omtrent uit mekaar). All-in-all, 'n lekker week gehad in Hippo House.

Lots of potential, requires maintenance.

Hippo House is situated close to the river and thus the location of the house is great. We did, however, have endless issues with hot water supply and the children had to bath in cold water some evenings. Abri advised that some lizards had bred in the geyser box, but even after this was resolved the water was still not constant. It would be hot for 2-3 minutes then ice cold. Then we would have to close the tap and repeat the process. Although Abri provided the plumbers contact details I do not feel this is something I would like to resolve while on holiday. The house has plenty of potential but it is in need of dire maintenance and a thorough clean - a used condom was left on the bedroom floor from previous guests which was not cleaned when we arrived.

Dit was een van die beste Kruger trips wat ons al ooit gehad het!

Hippo House is netjies, en baie strategies geleë aan die oewer van die Krokodilrivier. Anton het ons vriendelik ontvang, en alles verduidelik. Abri het onmiddellik uitgehelp toe die geyser afgeskop het! Die verblyf was gerieflik, en ons het dit terdeë geniet. Vol punte aan Abri en Anton en wie ook al in die agtergrond gewerk het!

Was awesome.

We had a wonderful time and the house is neat.

Amazing house overlooking Kruger Park.

The house offers amazing and clean accommodation with a view over the Crocodile River and the Kruger National Park. We were able to see a lot of buffalo and elephants from the house. At night it felt as if the Lions were roaring in the garden, we were so close to the Kruger Park. Anton, the caretaker, did a great job and was an added bonus we did not expect. The house was fully equipped for self-catering, even an ice machine and gas braai was available to us. Full DSTV was available, so we were able to keep the kids happy and watch our sport. It was too cold to use the splash pool but would be nice on hot summer days. We would definitely returning very soon and highly recommend this accommodation.
