Beautiful view over the field. Comfortably equipped. Good service.
We stayed in "Hook and Stitch" cottage. The house is situated against the boundary wire and overlooks a waterhole. An elephant walked right by the wire one night. You have a view of the field all the time. The house is comfortably equipped and the air conditioning was a big plus with the intense heat. Also went to cool off in their pool near reception. Debbie and Talent provided excellent service.

Nice clean place. Quietly grilled on the platter in the evenings that was cleaned daily. 5 nights under the roof on the stoep that entertained us. Couldn't swim, pool grass green. Hot water faucet in the bathroom (sink) did not work. Remote control of air cooling did not work. Very helpful when the power went out and also kept me up to date with the directions and check in at the Lodge.

Lovely, well equipped with WiFi and very private.
Kurkbos room offers self-contained and comfortable accommodation for 2 in a 'rustic' studio setting. The room is located against a boundary wire, with a forest view where we could often see zebras, blue wildebeest and goats. We could even invite friends to join us for a delicious forest barbecue. It's a little hidden diamond that won't break your bank balance. Very well appointed with smart cleaning services. Full WiFi was available with no load shedding over the weekend! We were also very close to Camp Discovery, which was a bonus for us as parents.

The free WiFi and air conditioning was a winner during the heat wave we are currently experiencing. My daughter felt so safe that she could run in the lodge. We felt really safe with the security fence.

Peaceful weekend away.
It was a nice peaceful environment. We stayed in Kierieklapper which was neat, but the place needs some attention. Bath's edge needs some silicon, cracked tiles, cracked toilet, ceiling needs paint, but nothing stopped us from having a nice visit. Riaan with the "game drive" was fantastic. We enjoyed it very much.

Soul invigorating.
Marulani is now one of our favorite places in Dinokeng. It is a stone's throw from Pretoria and easily accessible from the tarmac with a 1.3 km dirt road that is also passable for ordinary sedans. We stayed in Hak-en-Steek which directly overlooks a small pond where we saw goats, a fox and various bird species from the veranda. The unit is a spacious, open plan chalet with a fully equipped kitchen. The cleanliness of the unit was remarkable with not even a cobweb in sight. The unit is transparent and very uniquely decorated. The bathroom with its unique, large shower and more than enough hot water is separate from the toilet and outside there is a wooden enclosed shower where you can view the woodland while taking a hot shower. Coenie and Valdette made the game drive a wonderful adventure with nice hot drinks at a lovely riverside picnic spot. Valdette arranged a spa treatment for us on our unit's porch and the traveling spa ladies, Patricia and Pearl, were on time and very professional. There was just too little time to walk the paths too, but definitely next time.

Marulani is one of the better affordable lodges in the area, wildlife relatively active around camp, we will definitely go again. Disappointed with distribution of wildlife in reserve, some areas have little or no wildlife and could be better managed. Would also be nice to meet management, didn't see any management or staff after arrival to find out if everything is ok, but will definitely book there again.

Arnold, dankie dat jy vir die natuur omgee. As eienaar van beide Marulani Bush Lodge asook Uitvlugt Resort is natuurbewaring vir my van uiterste belang. Ons maak gebruik van 'n instansie wat al ons vullis by albei ons oorde, verwyder na 'n fasiliteit wat alle herwinbaare materiaal skei en sodoende die aangrensende gemeenskap van werksgeleenthede voorsien. Hulle verkoop dus weer die herwinne produkte vir verdere inkomste. Sodoende doen ons ons bes tot die opbou van die gemeenskap en bydra tot herwinning en bewaaring van die natuur en hulp bronne.

It was a peaceful place to stay with simple accommodation.
It is indeed in a larger reserve, but there are too many places to stay and too many roads for the area's size. Game was very scarce, and we did not even see one of the Big Five, with no indication that they could be present, in other words no fog or anything like that to be seen. One could constantly hear the traffic of the main road that runs through the reserve in the background. Not as secluded as one would like. We were a bit disappointed that we didn't look out on any little pond or anything - just a fence with field behind it. The cottage was very clean when we arrived, but the bathroom had mildew and the bath was very small and uncomfortable, as well as the shower over the bath was uncomfortable to use. Furthermore, the woodland was very beautiful and we saw and heard a lot of birds.

No game drives took place because of the rain.
No money appears to have been refunded by the lodge, but a gift card was offered. I am really outraged that such an option is even acceptable because they received money. If a trip does not take place, money must be paid back to the customer. Writing from the lodge is now if I don't want to use the gift card, I get my money back! This is blatant theft! Before the weekend, messages from Valdette informed me that only 3 rides were available, regardless of what was advertised on the website. Friday afternoon 16:00, Saturday morning at 06:00. Out of necessity, I then decided on Friday afternoon at 16:00, because the trip so early on Saturday morning was not suitable for us. I believe that it is the guests' choice first. It then rained Friday afternoon. On Saturday morning, Valdette called me and asked if we wanted to go at 12h:0, which then made me agree. A quarter to 12 when we arrived at the reception, it started to rain again. We were then called and told that no further trips would take place due to forecast of rain. Later that evening I got another message about a trip that was arranged for 06:00 the next morning, to which I said no thank you. However, it rained all night until we left. I emailed them, and asked that my money be refunded, to which I received a letter from the gift card, with a message that no money is payable. My husband has been working abroad for months, and I can only see that it will not be possible to use the gift voucher due to his work, and judging from the conversations with Valdette, the lodge is not accessible for the guests' arrangements of trips. In the morning, on a drive of our own, we encountered the bakkie of the Lodge with only 3 people on it, and not 4 as advertised. But I am extremely disappointed in the attitude of the place to take money for something they did not deliver, and that they do not want to pay the money back. I would definitely not recommend them to any person.

We had a great time staying with excellent hosts who know how to make you feel at home in the midst of a special atmosphere that has been created with care and passion and is still being improved.
If you like pretty, the entrance just off the (short) dust road already makes you feel good about your choice. Inside, it only gets better with an unexpected artistic character being created. The Maroela cottage is perfect for families of 4, 5 or 6 with everything you need for self-catering in a bushveld atmosphere. Riaan and Debbie are special hosts who make you feel not only at home, but also comfortable and relaxed. Professional. Capable. Cordially. Useless. Walk (drive) the extra mile(s).

Marulani is close, and before you are tired of driving, you are there. It feels like visiting family. And then one lives in the moment for the next two days. You don't think about what happened yesterday, nor what tomorrow's trouble will be. All that matters is the moment: the hornbills that are holding a concert around the house; the lions that greet the day; the roebuck trying to keep their family together. And when you hit the road home again, your soul is at peace, and you see opportunity for what comes your way. Thank you for an unbeatable weekend.

Martie die bosbraai saam met julle was iets onvergeetlik. Amper het ons 'n trop leeus as bykomende gaste gehad. Ons kan nie wag vir julle volgende besoek in Januarie 2018 nie.

Amazing weekend.
Riaan and Debbie absolutely carried us on their hands. The house was well appointed and had everything we needed. Riaan also took us on a game drive and the children loved it. I definitely recommend Marulani and will visit again.

Amazing, homely and friendly - definitely worth going again.
Lovely, equipped unit that is homely and friendly. Owners incredibly hospitable. Even brought us coffee and sandwiches to the viewpoint over waterhole early in the morning. Exceptional service. Definitely worth going again. Game drives in good consultation with other game guides to be taken to where the things happen.
