Natuur op sy beste. Lekker gerus by Marloth Sanbonani.

Ons het ons kuier by Marloth Sanbonani baie geniet. Die daaglikse besoekers uit die natuur was 'n belewenis vir die kinders. Nie elke dag wat 'n koedoe of vlakvark by jou kom kuier op jou stoep nie. Die huis is toegerus met alles wat mens nodig het. Ek sou net gehou het van 'n plekkie in die badkamer om my badhanddoek op te hang maar dis maar net persoonlike voorkeur. Mal oor die grootte van die swembad, net genoeg om lekker af te koel. Sou nice gewees het as die skadunet oor die swembad was soos op die foto's. Die swembadwater het nie baie lekker geruik nie, dalk net gereeld chloor of iets ingooi, alhoewel dit nou nie so erg was dat mens nie kon swem nie. Vir mense wat hou van eenvoud is hierdie plek perfek. Sal beslis weer hierheen kom.

Nature at its best. Have a nice rest at Marloth Sanbonani.

We really enjoyed our stay at Marloth Sanbonani. The daily visitors from nature were an experience for the children. It's not every day that a kudu or warthog comes to visit you on your porch. The house is equipped with everything one needs. I would have liked a place in the bathroom to hang my bath towel but that's just personal preference. Love the size of the pool, just enough to cool off. Would have been nice if the shade net was over the pool like in the photos. The pool water didn't smell very good, maybe just chlorine or something thrown in regularly, although it wasn't so bad that you couldn't swim. For people who like simplicity this place is perfect. Will definitely come here again.

Baie mooi, maar vir wat mens betaal moet die skoonmaakdiens beter wees.

Ons het baie lekker vakansie gehou by Marloth Sanbonani, maar ongelukkig was daar met die aankoms een of ander knaagdierontlasting in die kombuis, op die toonbank, in die kamers, en op die vensterbank wat eers skoongemaak moes word (ons het dit self skoongemaak). Ek vermoed dit behoort dalk aan nagapies wat iewers die huis binnekom as hy leeg staan, want daar was geen tekens van muise of rotte nie. Die res van die huis was mooi skoon behalwe die stoep wat 'n goeie vee nodig gehad het om ontslae te raak van blare en takke. Die lugversorging in die huis werk op 'n voorafbetalingsmeter, maar die eenhede hou redelik lank. Ons het R100 per lugversorger vir 3 aande gekoop en daar was nog eenhede oor aan die einde. Die huis is mooi modern binne, die meubels is mooi, die beddens is mooi oorgetrek en gemaklik om op te slaap, en die WiFi is vinnig genoeg om musiek te luister of YouTube te kyk. Let wel, die skadunet wat in die fotos oor die plonspoel is, is nie meer daar nie, so as mens in die somer in hom wil sit, sit mens ongelukkig direk in die son vir meeste van die dag. Ons het baie wild gesien van die stoep af: baie sebras, blouwildebeeste, baie vlakvarke, 'n kameelperd, ens. Die ligging naby die rivier is perfek vir besoekers wat so veel as moontlik diere wil sien. Die paaie na Marloth Sanbonani toe was ook mooi ten spyte van reën vroeër die week.

Very nice, but for what you pay, the cleaning service should be better.

We had a very nice holiday at Marloth Sanbonani, but unfortunately on arrival there was some rodent droppings in the kitchen, on the counter, in the rooms, and on the windowsill which needed to be cleaned first (we cleaned it ourselves). I suspect it may belong to night monkeys that come into the house somewhere when it is empty, because there were no signs of mice or rats. The rest of the house was pretty clean except for the porch which needed a good sweep to get rid of leaves and branches. The air conditioning in the house runs on a prepaid meter, but the units last quite a long time. We bought R100 per air conditioner for 3 nights and there were still units left at the end. The house is pretty modern inside, the furniture is nice, the beds are nicely covered and comfortable to sleep on, and the WiFi is fast enough to listen to music or watch YouTube. Note, the shade net that is in the photos over the splash pool is no longer there, so if you want to sit in it in the summer, you unfortunately sit directly in the sun for most of the day. We saw a lot of wildlife from the porch: lots of zebras, blue wildebeest, lots of warthogs, a giraffe, etc. The location near the river is perfect for visitors who want to see as many animals as possible. The roads to Marloth Sanbonani were also beautiful despite rain earlier in the week.

Bush paradise.

We had a lovely stay at Sanbonani. The chalet has everything you need and is set out well. I wouldn't say it can comfortably accommodate 6 adults as noted on the website though, I would say 4 adults and 2 small children. The kitchen had everything you need, a stove, microwave, big fridge and all the utensils. The rooms and bathrooms are spacious and modern and all bedding is supplied. The location is great as it is near the river and the animals come right to your patio every day. The ability to buy electricity units for the aircon is great, it's easy to do and updates immediately. There is also free wifi - always a plus. There are a few things that can be improved on: The expectation is that you wash your own dishes - which is fine, but I had to wash a lot of items before we were able to use them. The countertops and floor were also not very clean. We, unfortunately, could not swim in the pool as the chlorine level was extremely high, I believe this has been reported before. Please also take note that the geyser is switched off, so as soon as you arrive, go to switch it on at the DB board. Otherwise, it was a lovely stay.

Wonderlike, rustige week. Beste ondervinding met diere!

Die huisie is baie oulik en gerieflik. Daar kan dalk na nuwe beddens/matrasse gekyk word. Verder was als regtig wonderlik.

Dit was 'n lekker blyplek. Grondpaaie net 'n bietjie rof.

Die aanwysings oor waar jy jou sleutel moet kry, is verwarrend. Jy kry dit nie by die hek soos gedink nie, maar vorentoe by die mall by Field Service Security groep. Dit kan meer duidelik aan kliënte gemaak word dat dit nie by die hek, wat ons gedink het die Field Service Agent by is, verkrygbaar is nie.

It was a nice place to stay. Dirt roads just a little rough.

The directions on where to get your key are confusing. You don't get it at the gate as thought, but ahead at the mall by Field Service Security group. It could be made more clear to customers that it is not available at the gate, which we thought the Field Service Agent was at.

Hot but epic.

Sanbonani was a great place to stay. Everything is working, the pool is there but it’s more like a hot tub with the heat we had. A lot of animals all around you. Will definitely book again.

We really enjoyed our stay and the animals that visited. The unit was very clean and very neat outside as well.

I would recommend more comfortable seating on the patio as the wooden bench is not the most comfortable. The seating around the fire pit was a challenge as the concrete benches and paving was infested with ants making sitting around the fire totally impossible. Apart from the above, it was a lovely unit and a very enjoyable stay.

Marloth Sanbonani 's response

Thank you for the feedback, and the suggestion. We will attend to the ant problem.

Ons het die verblyf baie geniet, huisie is ideaal vir klein gesin, alles wat jy nodig het is daar.

Al waarmee ons nie gelukkig was nie, is dat die swembad nie mooi skoongemaak was nie en ek dit moes self doen. Verder baie lekker.
