‘n Ongelooflike naweek.

Die huis is fantasties toegerus met alles wat 'n mens benodig. Die uitkykpunt is loopafstand van die huis en daar is ook 'n bankie naby die huis teen die KNP-draad waar mens rustig kan sit en diere kyk - nie dat dit enigsins nodig was om weg te beweeg van die huis af nie aangesien die diere die hele tyd om die huis beweeg het. Pasop vir die bobbejane - hulle maak deure oop .

An incredible weekend.

The house is fantastically equipped with everything one needs. The lookout point is walking distance from the house and there is also a bench near the house against the KNP wire where one can sit quietly and watch animals - not that it was at all necessary to move away from the house as the animals moved around the house all the time. Watch out for the baboons - they open doors.

Absolute bliss.

We were in our element the minute we went through the door! Everything just said "welcome back to the bush". We felt at home again! Enjoyed every minute of our stay. The only thing we missed was that we would have preferred an electric kettle.

Heerlike bosvakansie.

Fantastiese bosvakansie in 'n gerieflike, skoon en goed toegeruste huis. Ons het 'n verskeidenheid diere en voëls op ons voorstoep gehad en die gebrul van die leeus en gesels van die seekoeie het ons elke aand geselskap gehou om die vuur. Wat 'n heerlike week.

Lovely forest holiday.

Fantastic forest holiday in a comfortable, clean and well-equipped house. We had a variety of animals and birds on our doorstep and the roar of the lions and chatter of the manatees kept us company around the fire every night. What a lovely week.

Heaven on earth.

Thank you so much for everything. The promised land is a place where you can really enjoy a piece of heaven on earth. The location is amazing, the views, the animals everything was perfect. You really have a gem in Marloth. We will never be able to thank you enough for the extra mile that you walked for us in a very stressful time when our car broke down in Kruger. We will never forget that. You really went above and beyond for us. May God bless you always. We will definitely be back if you will have us. Hopefully without stress this time. Take care, God bless!!

Wonderlike paar dae.

Met aankoms het die Visarend ons met sy roep gegroet en ook 'n verdwaalde bobbejaan. Plek is goed ingerig en baie goed geleë. Die gasheer en -vrou was baie behulpsaam. Dink die stort kan bietjie aandag geniet. Sal definitief weer gaan.

Lekker.

Heerlike gerus en die lugversorging was verseker 'n bonus. Baie natuurlewe wat elk dag kom hallo-sê het. Plek is skoon en netjies met alles wat mens nodig het. Eienaars het opgevolg hoekom krag bly trip het. Wens ons kon 'n dag langer daar bly maar ongelukkig moes ons weer begin werk. Sal verseker weer daar bespreek. Wens net mens kon die rivier sien vanaf die huisie.

Alles wat nodig is om die bos ten volle te geniet.

Dit is 'n wonderlike huis in 'n fantastiese ligging. Ons kon daagliks sommer na die Kransrivier-uitkykpunt gestap het en met die magdom diere wat by die huis kom draai het, wat gereeld 'n trop wildebeeste en zebras ingesluit het, was dit nie nodig om enige plek heen te ry nie. Somer in die Laeveld kan uitdagend wees, maar deur die dag kon ons in die groot plonspoel afkoel terwyl die lugversorgers in die slaapkamers gesorg het vir 'n aangename nagrus. Maryanne en Dave het die hele proses uiters professioneel bestuur en ons baie tuis laat voel.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Everything you need to fully enjoy the forest.

This is a great house in a fantastic location. We could have just walked to the Kransrivier lookout every day and with the multitude of animals that visited the house, which often included a herd of wildebeest and zebras, there was no need to drive anywhere. Summer in the Lowveld can be challenging, but during the day we could cool off in the large plunge pool while the air conditioners in the bedrooms ensured a pleasant night's rest. Maryanne and Dave managed the whole process extremely professionally and made us feel very much at home.

Truly a promise land.

It was located right across from the river so daily walks along the river were always a treat. The house is clean, well-kept and well-equipped with all the essentials needed. Just a short walk to the krans lookout, lots of animals came to visit daily and Dave and Maryanne are very accommodating and made our stay very comfortable. Cannot wait to return to this home away from home. The dip pool was very inviting and we lived in it as the heat in the summer months can be very hot. The aircons in the bedrooms were a blessing.

Baie netjies en skoon, sal beslis weer daar gaan kuier!

Al wat die huisie kort is beslis ’n lugversorger, dit was bloedig warm en waaiers help niks! Lugversorging in beide kamers en miskien in die middel (eetkamer) wat dalk gekoppel kan word aan prepaid elektrisiteit sodat jy self vir jou genot sal moet betaal. Baie lekker plek! Dankie ook aan Dave vir sy hulp en verwysing na iemand om ons met die voertuig te help!

Very neat and clean, will definitely visit there again!

All the house needs is definitely an air conditioner, it was bloody hot and fans don't help! Air conditioning in both rooms and perhaps in the middle (dining room) which may be connected to prepaid electricity so you will have to pay for your enjoyment yourself. Very nice place! Thanks also to Dave for his help and referral to someone to help us with the vehicle!

We had a wonderful time as always. Close to the river and a lovely home.

We were only disappointed in the cleanliness of the house inside. It seemed like it had not been cleaned in a while and that only the bedding was changed. Other than that, we really love going to this house as it truly is a home away from home.

The Promised Land 's response

Alicia sorry for the delay in replying to your rating. We definitely cleaned the cottage on Wednesday as you were hoping to do the traveling in the evening. What we do have is what we locals call black snow. This is when they burn the sugar cane and it flies through the air especially if there is any wind. We have made arrangements that if we clean the day prior to entry for our neighbor to check for us and if needs be to return and clean up this black dust. So sorry I didn't know as I would have shot back and cleaned it up but we are now going to try to clean on the day of arrival only to ensure this doesn't happen again. Please accept our apologies and we trust you will return again for another visit. Kind regards Maryanne

Huislike atmosfeer in die bos.

Het baie lekker gekuier en gerus. Kyk uit oor die olifante in die rivier af van die voorstoep. Het wilde diere gehad wat kom hallo sê het by die voordeur. Sal beslis weer daar kom bly baie dankie!

Homely atmosphere in the forest.

Had a great time and rested. Look out over the elephants in the river from the front porch. Had wild animals come to say hello at the front door. Will definitely stay there again thank you very much!

Huislik in die Bosveld.

Baie mooi en skoon. Dit voel of jy by jou eie huis is, maar net in die Bosveld. Die Krokodilrivier is sommer reg voor jou. Alles is in die huis waaraan 'n mens kan dink. Dit raak net bietjie warm sonder lugreëling. Ons sal die plek vir enige een aanbeveel.

Homely in the Bosveld.

Very nice and clean. It feels like you are at your own home, but only in the Bosveld. The Crocodile River is right in front of you. Everything is in the house that one can think of. It just gets a little hot without air conditioning. We would recommend the place to anyone.

‘n Fantastiese ervaring in die Skepper se hande werk!

Alles is daar. Bring net jouself en kos. Was 42°C gewees. Het die air-con gemis! Gelukkig was die swembad daar! Ongelooflike uitsig op die rivier en het olifante 50 meter van ons af gesien. Die kamer buite is ‘n wenner! Hoor al die naggeluide.

A fantastic experience working in the Creator's hands!

Everything is there. Just bring yourself and food. Was 42°C. Missed the air-con! Luckily the pool was there! Amazing view of the river and saw elephants 50 meters from us. The room outside is a winner! Hear all the night sounds.

Goeie more Madelein en familie, ek wil net sê baie dankie vir jou terugvoering en jou aanbeveeling. Dit was so goed om te hoor jy het daar bo geslaap, want dis vir ons die beste kamer in die huis. Die naggeluide en bietjie wind wat deur waai. Ons hoop julle sal weer by ons kom kuier en ons gaan lugreëling insit, maar weet net nie waar nie, miskien in die middel van die sitkamer. Die somer is die warmste in 'n paar jaar maar self ons dorpsmense kry swaar met die hitte. Die mooiste tyd van die jaar is April en Mei. Dan is dit warm in die dag maar koel in die aande. Weereens sê ek net dankie en hopelik sien ons julle weer vir 'n kuier.
Liefde, Maryanne en Dave.

'n Bosveldwegbreek wat enige uitgeputte siel kan herlaai.

Die huis is baie netjies ingerig met alles, en meer, wat mens kan benodig. Die ligging is ideaal en ons is elke aand vermaak en verstom deur die boskoor van dieregeluide.

The house is very neatly furnished with everything, and more, that one could need. The location is ideal and we were entertained and amazed every night by the forest chorus of animal sounds.

Heerlike rustige omgewing, lekker vakansiehuis en uitsonderlike vriendelike en behulpsame eienaars.

Ons het die ligging van die huis naby die rivier en tussen die bome baie geniet. Dit is stil, rustig en die buitelapa en stoep is werklik 'n wenner om net te sit en ontspan. Huis baie goed ingerig met als wat nodig is.

Lovely peaceful surroundings, nice holiday home and exceptionally friendly and helpful owners.

We really enjoyed the location of the house near the river and among the trees. It is quiet, peaceful and the outdoor patio and stoep are truly a winner to just sit and relax. House very well furnished with everything needed.

Rustig.

Jou huis weg van die huis. Alles is daar, bring net eie kos en badkamer goed. Baie rustig en stil, net baie, baie warm in somer. Ek dink lugreëling sal 'n goeie ding wees. Sal beslis weer van Dave se huis gebruik maak .

Dit was 'n heerlike, rustige wegbreek!

The Promised Land is soos jou huis weg van jou huis! Dit is volledig toegerus met alles wat jy moontlik nodig het. Die diere wat kom "kuier" het, het dit ekstra spesiaal gemaak. Ons sal dit beslis aanbeveel!

Alles en nog.

Ons het vir 'n week in hierdie pragtige blyplek tuis gegaan. Dit was voorwaar baie lekker. Alles wat jy mag nodig he is daar. Dave en Maryanne was so vriendelik om hout vir ons te los en seker te maak dat alles tip top is. Die plek is ruim en gerieflik geleë. Ons het daagliks wild by en om die huis gehad. Ek sal die plek vir almal aanbeveel en ons sal weer terug wees. Dankie vir al julle moeite.

Dit was absoluut heerlik!

Ek sal "The Promised Land" beslis aanbeveel vir natuurliefhebbers wat soek na rustigheid en vrede. Die natuur is pragtig, rustig en doodstil. Ons het 'n koedoebul gehad wat elke aand besoek kom aflê het, dit lyk of hy agter die huis oornag. Daar het ook zebra's kom kuier. Die huis is gerieflik en voldoen aan alles wat mens mag benodig. Dit is vreeslik huislik, voel of dit permanent bewoon word en of die mense dalk net gou iewers heen is. Baie dankie dat ons dit kon gebruik, was 'n heerlike naweek.

It was absolutely delicious!

I would definitely recommend "The Promised Land" to nature lovers looking for tranquility and peace. The nature is beautiful, peaceful and dead silent. We had a kudu bull that came to visit every night, he seems to spend the night behind the house. Zebras also came to visit. The house is comfortable and meets everything one might need. It is terribly homely, feels as if it is permanently inhabited or if the people are perhaps just going somewhere soon. Thank you very much for letting us use it, it was a lovely weekend.
