Was the perfect break in a lovely house.

Only recommendation is to have aircon's in the bedrooms. We were lucky it wasn't too hot this time round and also to possibly get a generator as we know that Marloth does have loadshedding and then you suffer when its hot, but this is just a nice to have.

Dit was 'n heerlike naweek, ons het dit baie geniet.

Die plek is pragtig, daar moet net aandag gegee word aan die toilet op die tweede verdieping. Verder geen klagtes, dit was fantasties.

It was a lovely weekend, we really enjoyed it.

The place is beautiful, only attention should be paid to the toilet on the second floor. Other than that, no complaints, it was fantastic.

Perfect bush escape.

I loved the fact that Oribi Cottage is set back from the main road, tucked away in its own little hamlet, giving us a wonderful sense of peace and quiet. The house itself was absolutely perfect for our little family of 4 - clean and tidy, with everything we needed on hand (even a couple of animal guides that we enjoyed reading!), while the outside area was great for braaiing and relaxing around the pool. We loved drinking our morning coffee on the patio, watching the resident wildebeest, zebra, warthog and tortoise visit every day. All in all, I would definitely book here again, thank you!

Most accommodating, pleasant stay other than loud music and noise from Kruger Lodge nearby.

Loud music, much noise from rowdy/intoxicated guests at Kruger Lodge.

I have brought the situation under the owners of the Lodge’s attention and reported it to the CPF which has taken action to prevent this from happing again. A fine will be issued if the rules are not adhered to.

Lovely and peaceful.

Our stay at Oribi was just lovely. The unit is beautifully maintained and was perfect for our little family. The little pool is just perfect for a cool off and the little daily visitors were just delightful. I would absolutely go back!

Daar was 'n paar dingetjies wat gepla het, maar ek is seker daarvan dat ek die plek sal aanbeveel as dit uitgesorteer word.

Die huisie is baie oulik ingerig met alles wat 'n mens nodig het. Skoon en netjies. Die feit dat ons egter self die sleutel moes gaan haal by die eienaar se huis en dat ons self die swembad moes volmaak met water, was egter ongehoord. Verder is daar is magtige mierplaag wat verblyf onaangenaam maak. Dit kan egter deur die eienaar beheer word. Die braai-area kort aandag. Die braaier val uitmekaar en die rooster moet vervang word.

There were a few niggles, but I'm sure I'd recommend the place if it gets sorted out.

The house is very cutely furnished with everything one needs. Clean and tidy. However, the fact that we had to collect the key from the owner's house ourselves and that we had to fill the pool with water ourselves was unheard of. Furthermore, there is a powerful ant infestation that makes the stay unpleasant. However, it can be controlled by the owner. The braai area needs attention. The braai falls apart and the grill needs to be replaced.

Die swembad word tans opgegradeer met 'n pomp en filter sisteem om altyd water in te hê. Daar is water tekorte in Marloth en het ons elke gas afsonderlik gevra, aangesien nie almal die swembad wil gebruik nie. Die braai area word volgende jaar opgradeer. Die struktuur is standvastig, net die rooster is los. Ek sal weer reël vir mier en termiet behandeling.

Netjiese en skoon verblyf.

Ons het baie lekker gebly in hierdie huisie. Al wat ons kan aanbeveel is dat daar gemaklike los stoele dalk om die boma moet wees en beter verligting by die braai area vir aand vleisbraai kuier sessies. Ook net vooraf dalk gaste inlig van water tekorte dat daar nie teleurstelling onder jong kinders is wat warm kry met aankoms en nie kan gaan afkoel nie. Verder is die plekke baie netjies en was uiters skoon. Die beddens slaap lekker en die banke in die sitkamer is baie gemaklik. Baie vriendelik ontvang deur die gasvrou.

Neat and clean accommodation.

We had a great stay in this little house. All we can recommend is that there should be comfortable loose chairs around the boma and better lighting at the braai area for evening barbecue social sessions. Also just in advance maybe inform guests about water shortages that there is no disappointment among young children who get hot on arrival and cannot go to cool off. Furthermore, the places are very neat and were extremely clean. The beds sleep well and the couches in the living room are very comfortable. Very kindly received by the hostess.

It was dirty.

We received very good service from Marinda who rented the house to us. She is very cute and willing to help. Unfortunately, it was not a pleasant experience. The beds are dirty. There are fleas in the house and the beds. There were also a lot of cockroaches. Until the owner fumigates and cleans the place I will not stay there again.
