Baie goeie ligging en waarde vir geld.

Die hoogte van die huis is perfek vir uitkyk oor die natuur en diere, huis ook nie ver van teerpad.

Very good location and value for money.

The height of the house is perfect for views of nature and animals, house also not far from tarmac.

Dis altyd lekker om Marloth toe te kom, maar ons sal nie weer in Paradise tuisgaan nie.

Die plek het mooi op die webtuiste gelyk, maar foto's is misleidend. Die plek is toesgerus, maar met die eienaar se oudste goed. Die eetgerei pas nie bymekaar nie, ou matte, beddegoed en dis oorvol. Die meubels is ongemaklik, die braai-area het geen sitplek en die braai self is pateties, stoele en als moet heeltyd afgedra word. Die swembad is in die koelte en lek. Die trappe is onveilig. Dit is uiters moeilik om jou voertuig te parkeer. Die plek is stowwerig en ruik na motbolle. Die plek kort regtig bietjie aandag. Dit is te betwyfel of die alarm werk.

It's always nice to come to Marloth, but we won't be staying in Paradise again.

The place looked nice on the website, but pictures are misleading. The place is furnished, but with the owner's oldest things. The cutlery doesn't fit together, old carpets, bedding and it's overstuffed. The furniture is uncomfortable, the braai area has no seating and the braai itself is pathetic, chairs and everything have to be taken down all the time. The pool is in the cold and leaking. The stairs are unsafe. It is extremely difficult to park your vehicle. The place is dusty and smells of mothballs. The place really needs some attention. It is doubtful whether the alarm works.

Paradise 3844 's response

Good afternoon Zelda, I am really sorry and shocked by your response.
We were at the house a month ago and took new bedding, took Smart TV, and re-installed new ceiling fans etc. The bedding is not old, the mats are not old, and the staircase is not unsafe as maintenance gets done annually on the structure of the house. The chairs we stack upstairs as we cannot leave them downstairs because we do not live there.
We use mothballs to keep the bushbabies and bats from creeping into the house.

I really believe you should have called me as we have been in discussions all this time.

Also, the lady at Field Security called me and stated they asked you to switch on the alarm as it was not activated, 1 alert is an alarm activated and 2 alerts is an alarm deactivated. Also indicated their unhappiness with someone from your team being aggressive towards them when they asked you to please go and activate the alarm.

Anyway, sorry you had a bad experience, and all the best.

Baie lekker gekuier in die bos.

Braai-area kort aandag of moet verskuif word. Gas-geiser 'n probleem, wil nie altyd vlamvat nie. Geraas van bouwerk, kap, saag, "grinders" reg langs die perseel die heeldag van soggens tot 6 uur saans was baie ongerieflik. Gekoppel met dit die veiligheidsaspek van die groep werkers wat heeldag langs jou beweeg en oë wat dwaal.

Very nice visit in the forest.

Braai area needs attention or needs to be moved. Gas geyser a problem, doesn't always want to ignite. Noise from construction work, cutting, sawing, "grinders" right next to the premises all day from morning to 6 o'clock at night was very inconvenient. Coupled with this is the safety aspect of the group of workers who move next to you all day and wandering eyes.

Hi Wynand, apologies about the noise as the neighbour's are busy building next door.
The gas geyser was replaced after you informed us of the challenge.
Thank you for the feedback as this helps us to ensure all challenges are resolved.

Ons het baie lekker gekuier, plekkie was skoon en netjies gewees.

Vir bejaardes is dit bietjie moeilik met die trappe maar ouma het haar geniet saam met ons. Swembad lek water loop vinnig uit. Warm water by bad word nie regtig warm nie. In somer sal dit nie pla nie. Verder het ons heerlik gebly. Baie dankie.

We had a great time, the place was clean and tidy.

The stairs are a bit difficult for the elderly, but grandma enjoyed herself with us. Swimming pool leaks water runs out quickly. Hot water at bath doesn't really get hot. In summer it won't bother. Other than that we had a wonderful stay. Thank you very much.

Hot water issue was temporarily sorted out. Unfortunately no TV to watch any kind of movies, TV or anything because it's an outdated set.

Good location, but house needs attention. Floor is starting to open up and very cold draft during nights.

Paradise 3844 's response

Thanks so much, Henry, we will action the concerns. The TV works and should be put onto the AV channel, I wish you called me to explain.
Security is linked to Field Security which is excellent as they will be at the house within minutes. Hope to hear from you again soon. The hot water was fixed as the geyser was set for summer and not changed to winter.

Pragtige plek, maar nie vir ou mense wat gaan sukkel om trappe te klim nie.

Baie lekker.

'n Baie lekker huis in die bos, met verskeie diersoorte wat gereeld kom "Hallo" sê. Pak genoeg wortels en appels in om die diere te voer.

First Impressions was okay, maar as jy begin nader kyk is daar baie probleme.

Die huis is glad nie child friendly nie. Die trappe op na die huis van die swembad/braai en na die solderkamer toe is baie onveilig. Die eetgerei was vuil en ons moes dit eers was voor ons dit kom gebruik. Die aircon het self afgegaan, en in temperature oor 40 was dit 'n groot probleem. Die huis het ook 'n groot byenes aan die buitekant, ons het vroeg uitgeboek nadat ons vir 'n uur in die huis moes wegkruip toe die bye aggressief geraak het. Met 'n 2 jarige kind is dit verskriklik gevaarlik.

First Impressions were okay, but when you start looking closer there are many problems.

The house is not child friendly at all. The stairs up to the house from the pool/braai and to the loft are very unsafe. The cutlery was dirty and we had to wash it before we came to use it. The aircon went off by itself, and in temperatures over 40 this was a big problem. The house also has a large beehive outside, we checked out early after having to hide in the house for an hour when the bees became aggressive. With a 2 year old child it is terribly dangerous.

For the amount needed to pay per day, and the return, its way overpriced.

Air-con not working, splash-pool deck is falling apart, splash pool leaking, needs to be filled up continuously.

Paradise 3844 's response

Good afternoon Martin,

I would like to apologise for the air-conditioning and the Splash pool leaking but the AC blew of the air-conditioning and this was fixed the day after you left. Lee and her husband informed me that they tried to go and fix the air-conditioning but could not as they needed the replacement and has to get this from Nelspruit.
We were never informed that the Splash pool was leaking and therefore have asked the maintenance person to go and have this fixed, as the leak is next to the tap for outlet, as per Lee and her husband.

Hated my stay. Will never go back there again.

The women that gave us the keys was very unfriendly to us. Even when we returned the keys, which was not welcoming at all. The kitchen utensils were not cleaned properly. And to top it off we had problems with rats, it bit most of the stuff I had in the kitchen that was in boxes or packets, it damaged my two bags by making holes in them. I did expect animals outside of the house but not inside.

Paradise 3844 's response

Hi Shamala

The security company only assist with the handing over of keys for owners so we have absolutely no control over them but I have sent your response to their Manager. I apologise for the rat problem as we had the house fumigated 3 months ago and this gets done every 6 months. I am situated in JHB and have a cleaning company who cleans the house weekly. I hope you understand.
