My gevoel was dat die eienaar nie regtig omgee vir sy gaste se gerief nie.

My feeling was that the owner doesn't really care about his guests' comfort.
Unfortunately not a nice stay. I personally contacted the owner before we left to make sure there was solar power and a gas stove for loadshedding times. She assured me that they do not get loadshedding at home and therefore we were not prepared at all when we did form part of the loadshedding schedule. We could not open windows when the air conditioning went off because there was no mosquito netting in front of the windows in the bedrooms and it was therefore very hot. The mosquito nets that were on bathroom windows and doors were broken and of no use. The house is for 8 people, but the pots in the house cannot cook for the amount of people at all, only small pots. The one pot big enough was so burnt I couldn't use it. Borrowed a pot from caretaker to cook for my family, but it was also broken with only one left. No privacy if you barbecue outside on the porch, because the caretaker sits two meters away from you on his chair in front of his little house. Very agreeable. The caretaker parks his motorcycle with you in the only covered parking and because we drive a big bus, the passenger had to get out of the back door, otherwise you bump into the motorcycle. The house was not clean at all. There were three different colors of soap on the soap dish in the second bathroom when we got there, and toothpaste marks in the upstairs bathroom. I had to properly clean the bathrooms myself first. The floors make your feet dirty when you walk barefoot and the sofa smells dirty and full of dust. The beds were uncomfortable and did not sleep well. The hammock on the outside deck was broken. The plasticware that the owner has in the house for guests' use looks like it's stuff that someone else threw away and we couldn't use it to pack picnic stuff. The gas stove works with a lighter because the stove's lighter does not work. The caretaker had to show us how the stove works because there is a certain technique to lighting the stove. The house needs a good cleaning, new plasticware, mosquito nets and a gas stove. The owner is welcome to put loadshedding lights/bulbs in the house. The wooden deck is terribly loud in terms of noise when someone moves up there, especially with the pool table. The stairs to the upper floor are terribly narrow, steep and unsafe. The WiFi in the master bedroom was terribly bad.

Very nice place, but no privacy and place was not clean when we arrived.
Owner was very helpful when we left complaint with her, but would not recommend if privacy is high on your priority. Directions given to location were wrong. There is also no openview as advertised. Only Netflix, which is not a problem. Game cache is very messed up and won't even try to play anything. Pool cues are destroyed.

Thanks for the feedback. Electricity supply at Marloth is a huge problem especially during peak times. We are planning a backup solar system for the future depending on funds.
