Super and awesome, best short holiday ever.

The place was just amazing. We had such a good time and we will be going back next year. We have decided to make this a yearly trip, and everything at Tau Self-catering House was just amazing.

Ons is beslis terug!

Baie mooi, gerieflike en goed toegeruste huis. Uitsig van die bestes in Marloth. Kan beslis die huis aanbeveel vir meer as een gesin. Baie ruim en verskillende vertrekke om te kuier. Die daaglikse skoonmaakdienste was 'n baie groot pluspunt. Nelsie was so hulpvaardig en baie vriendelik.

Very nice, comfortable and well equipped house. View of the best in Marloth. Can definitely recommend the house to more than one family. Very spacious and different rooms to visit. The daily cleaning services were a very big plus. Nelsie was so helpful and very friendly.

Lovely place to make memories.

It was nice, the house was clean and neat. There were animals to see. A lot of space. Just had trouble with the WiFi, it didn't have a lot of signal and we had a little problem with the air conditioners the second night as they were not working, but further there were no problems. It's a lovely house.

Familietyd.

Ons was 'n groep van 7 en die huis was perfek. Dit was skoon en het al die geriewe gehad. Ons het elke dag verskeie diere gesien en was 'n wonderlike ervaring vir ons almal. Die caretaker was vriendelik en behulpsaam en huis word elke oggend skoon gemaak. Ons het 'n dag-trip geboek na Krugerwildtuin deur ons huis bespreking soos geadverteer word, maar sal dit definitief nie weer doen nie. Die voertuig is nie op standaard nie en band was deur geloop. Daar was geen toerusting om band te verander nie en my man moes inspring om band te verander. Boek eerder direk met SAN Parke.

Family time.

We were a group of 7 and the house was perfect. It was clean and had all the amenities. We saw several animals every day and was a great experience for all of us. The caretaker was friendly and helpful and the house is cleaned every morning. We booked a day trip to Kruger National Park through our home booking as advertised, but will definitely not do it again. The vehicle was not up to standard and the tire was worn. There was no equipment to change a tire and my husband had to jump in to change a tire. Book directly with SAN Parke instead.

Dit was ongelooflik wonderlik, vriendelike personeel altyd beskikbaar, mooi skoon, gerieflik.

Ons het my 80ste verjaarsdag by Tau gevier, met al die familie. Almal was so gerieflik met die slaapplek, vyfster, eetgerei baie goeie kwaliteit, die personeel is ongelooflik behulpsaam en vriendelik. Dit was die heerlikste tyd wat ons in die pragtige, gerieflike woning bevoorreg was om te kan spandeer. Ons gaan dit beslis weer doen.

Wonderlik om so naby baie wildtuindiere te wees en jy doen dit terwyl jy tee drink.

Vir my seun en sy vrou en twee dogters wat in VSA bly was dit nodig. Ook is dit naby die Wilde Krugertuin waar die kinders diere sien wat in die VSA nie moonlik is nie.

Wonderful to be so close to many zoo animals and you do it while drinking tea.

For my son and his wife and two daughters who live in the USA it was necessary. It is also close to the Wilde Krugertuin where the children see animals that are not possible in the USA.

Lekker plek, alhoewel pad net baie besig is langs Tau Self-catering House. Daarom moet ek nee sê veral met kleinkinders.

Ons het sonder krag gewees vir 2 dae van ons verblyf en moes aansukkel met yskaste wat nie heeltemal koud was en geen WiFi. Die kragopwekker mag jy nie heeldag en nag gebruik het nie. Die dame wat toesig hou is dierbaar en haar beste probeer om te help. Ek voel ek moet vergoed word vir die ongerief.

Nice place, although road is just very busy next to Tau Self-catering House. That's why I have to say no, especially with grandchildren.

We were without power for 2 days of our stay and had to struggle with fridges that weren't quite cold and no WiFi. You may not use the generator all day and night. The lady in charge is lovely and tries her best to help. I feel I should be compensated for the inconvenience.

Fantastic stay, we wish we could have stayed longer. Accommodation was superb, staff were friendly and helpful, we appreciated the air-con in the bedrooms. Upstairs deck offered great views and we sighted elephant, rhino, hippo, zebra and a number of antelope species. Giraffe roam around the house! We highly recommend this establishment.

Ligging was great. Die personeel wonderlik!

Ons was 9 mense en die huis is definitief toegerus om soveel mense te huisves sonder dat mense onder mekaar se voet die heeltyd is nie maar: 1. Die Swembad het aandag nodig - dit was silwerskoon maar die "marbalite" is besig om borrels te maak. Die waterval werk nie so dit het beslis aandag nodig. 2. Yskas-vrieskas moet na gekyk word, die "door seal" is los en daarom lek die vrieskas want die deur seel nie ordentlik nie. 3. Die elektriese bedrading moet na gekyk word.

Location was great. The staff wonderful!

We were 9 people and the house is definitely equipped to accommodate that many people without people being under each other's feet all the time but: 1. The Swimming pool needs attention - it was spotless but the "marbalite" is making bubbles . The waterfall is not working so it definitely needs attention. 2. Refrigerator-freezer must be looked at, the "door seal" is loose and therefore the freezer leaks because the door does not seal properly. 3. The electrical wiring needs to be looked at.

Hi Carol

Dankie vir die terugvoer. Ons was reeds by die huis gewees om aandag te gee aan die probleme soos uitgewys. Die bedrading was beskadig tydens 'n storm net voor julle ingetrek het en is reeds herstel. Die sëel op die yskas is ook reeds herstel en die swembad is geskeduleer vir opknapping in Mei sodra die somer verby is. Hoop om julle weer te sien en alles sal dan verbeter wees.

Great weekend.

The house was clean and neat. We had more than enough space. We saw hippo and elephant from the house. Only problem is that the fridge wasn't very cold and the power kept going off and we were told it happens often. We had no power from the Friday night till Saturday mid morning and due to that some of our food went off and had to be thrown away. Maybe need to invest in a generator. I would really recommend this place to anyone. I enjoyed my birthday weekend. Thank you to the staff who were very friendly.

Dear Nicolette,

Great setting, saw all Big 5 from the road (seekoei).

Staff very friendly and efficient. Accommodation comfortable and clean. Only problem we had was there was no gas for hot water on first night, had to get the staff to connect a full bottle which was on site. Shower door downstairs, off the passage needs to replaced as water spills onto floor and also needs towel rail to hang towel on. Had a great stay and a great holiday, would recommend them.

Dear Philip,
Thank you for the review.
We have replaced the shower door. Guests may call the staff at any time should there be any problems at the house. They are on site and available for all emergency's.
