Netjiese, maklik toeganklik vir ouer persone.

Die diere het ons ouers se dag gemaak elke oggend en aand. Dit was absoluut wat ons nodig gehad het om te kon uitrus en van die daaglikse gejaag te vergeet.

Lekker goed ingerigte huis, skoon, veilig en baie dierebesoekers.

Die huis was gereed met ons aankoms en het alles in wat mens nodig het vir 'n lekker wegbreek. Die besoekers wat ons gebring het van die VK was baie in hulle skik met alles wat hulle gesien en ervaar het en die spa bad was definitief 'n bonus vir hulle en dit is deeglik benut. Ons het lekker gekuier saam met al die diere wat bly inloer het vir 'n eetdingetjie en selfs meegeding het met al die voëls vir hulle kossies. Die kombuis was goed toegerus en ons kon lekker braai en kosmaak en het selfs die rugby baie geniet. Ek sal Walking Tall enige tyd aanbeveel vir mense wat 'n lekker wegbreekplekkie in die bos soek en sien self uit daarna om weer die huis te gebruik. My sleuteldeposito is vinnig terugbetaal en ek het dit baie waardeer.

Nice well appointed house, clean, safe and lots of animal visitors.

The house was ready upon our arrival and has everything you need for a nice break. The visitors we brought from the UK were very pleased with everything they saw and experienced and the spa bath was definitely a bonus for them and it was thoroughly utilised. We had a great time with all the animals who kept popping in for a snack and even competed with all the birds for their food. The kitchen was well equipped and we were able to barbecue and cook and even enjoyed the rugby a lot. I would recommend Walking Tall any time to people looking for a nice getaway in the woods and looking forward to using the house again. My key deposit was refunded quickly and I really appreciated that.

I have stayed in Marloth Park many times before. The house was the perfect location, close to the crocodile river and had open spaces allowing the animals to be seen and approach the house.

I recommend this house to anyone looking for a break with all the amenities needed and the added benefit of having a jacuzzi in your garden. Watching the animals made the whole experience priceless.

Maar net vir besoekers wat op 'n begroting reis.

Die eenheid bied basiese fasiliteite en hoewel daar agt gaste kan bly, is daar nie genoeg kombuis ware vir groot groepe nie. Dit was frustreerend om die sleutel op te tel met lang rye en verwarrende alarmstelselinstruksies. Die borrelbad moet self gevul word wat beteken dat ons dit nie op die eerste aand kon gebruik nie. Daar is ook nie 'n termostaat vir gaste om die water te reguleer nie. Ons het gevra dat dit verstel moes word na die bad nie warm geword het nie. Dit was koud die naweek. As jy nie weet hoe 'n borrelbad werk nie gaan jy met onsekerheid oorweldig word. Oor die algemeen, is hierdie 'n eenheid meer toepaslik vir gaste met 'n begroting en verwag dan basiese fasiliteite met kliëntediens wat meer geskoei is op verlies bestuur en die nakom van eenheid en park reëls. As jy die alarm laat afgaan is daar boetes, jy moet jou eie vuilgoed uit die eenheid neem, en onthou om al die vorms en betalings aan die eienaar te maak voor jy arriveer.

But only for visitors traveling on a budget.

The unit offers basic facilities and although eight guests can stay, there is not enough kitchenware for large groups. Picking up the key was frustrating with long lines and confusing alarm system instructions. The hot tub has to be filled by itself which meant we couldn't use it on the first night. There is also no thermostat for guests to regulate the water. We asked for it to be adjusted after the bath didn't get hot. It was cold this weekend. If you don't know how a hot tub works you will be overwhelmed with uncertainty. Overall, this is a unit more appropriate for guests on a budget and then expecting basic facilities with customer service that is more modeled on loss management and compliance with unit and park rules. If you let the alarm go off there are fines, you must take your own rubbish out of the unit, and remember to make all the forms and payments to the owner before you arrive.

Walking Tall Private Bush Retreat 's response

Geagte klient. Ons bied die beste waarde vir geld en is van die goedkoopste instansies in Marlothpark. In ons naam sal jy ook die woord "privaat" sien wat beteken dat daar niemand op die perseel is nie. So daar is nie staf wat kamerdiens bied nie. Ons het instruksies afgelaai vir die oopsluit en alarm bestuur. Ons het mense uitgestuur om die jacuzzi warmer te maak vir julle. As julle die probleme direk met my opgebring het, sou ons dit dadelik vir julle geuitsorteer het. Dankie vir jou terugvoering.

Heerlik in die bosveld.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Dit was net verder van Marloth se hek na die wildtuin as wat ons gedink het (so 20 minute se ry) en dit moet dus in aanmerking geneem word as mens by Krokodilbrug-hek wil wees as dit oopmaak. Omdat ons 'n groep was, het die baie slaapgedeeltes en 3 badkamers baie goed gewerk. Die twee en suite-badkamers het 'n stort, wasbak en toilet en is net bietjie klein. Die ander badkamer is groter en sluit 'n bad ook in. Die braai-area buite was baie lekker en ons het daar gekuier in die aand en baie veilig gevoel. Ons het die Jacuzzi twee aande gebruik wat baie lekker was. Dit vat net bietjie lank om warm te word as mens dit eers aansit as jy uit die wildtuin kom want dit het nie 'n bedekking nie. Maar oor die algemeen lekker gebly.

Lovely in the woodland.

We had a very nice stay. It was just further from Marloth's gate to the wildlife park than we thought (about a 20 minute drive) and this should therefore be taken into account if you want to be at Krokodilbrug gate when it opens. Because we were a group, the many sleeping areas and 3 bathrooms worked very well. The two en-suite bathrooms have a shower, sink and toilet and are just a bit small. The other bathroom is larger and includes a bathtub as well. The braai area outside was very nice and we hung out there in the evening and felt very safe. We used the Jacuzzi two nights which was very nice. It just takes a little while to warm up when you first put it on when you come out of the wildlife park because it doesn't have a cover. But overall a nice stay.

Plek was vuil, vir die prys wat ons betaal het, het ons beter verwag.

Veral die jacuzzi was vuil, moes hom self skoonmaak en toe ons water intap het dit geruik soos vrot drain water, so die tyd wat ons in hom spandeer het, het daar 'n vrot reuk gehang. Laastens het hy omtrent 5 ure gevat om warm te word, kon hom nie eers Vrydagaand gebruik het nie. Was glad nie waarde vir geld nie.

Place was dirty, for the price we paid we expected better.

Especially the jacuzzi was dirty, had to clean it myself and when we poured water it smelled like rotten drain water, so the time we spent in it, there hung a rotten smell. Lastly he took about 5 hours to warm up, couldn't even use him on Friday night. Was not value for money at all.

Regte Laeveld-atmosfeer wat 'n mens wil geniet.

Dis 'n ruim, moderne huis wat gerieflik toegerus is en my hele gesin het dit baie geniet. Die foto's op die webtuiste is net soos dit is: die binneversiering is stylvol vir die tipe huis, die diere kom wei langs die huis verby, volle DStv vir daai een program of sportwedstryd wat jy nie wil mis nie, en die groot braai-area kyk uit oor die veld. Die naaste bure is net-net sigbaar deur die bome, en jy bly privaat sonder enige steurnisse. Ons het nooit onveilig gevoel nie: die kampsekuriteit is 24 uur per dag aan diens en doen ook sigbare patrollering (baie vriendelike personeel). Daar is genoeg om in en om Marlothpark te doen. Die 2 ingange van die Krugerwildtuin is ook naby, maar as jy besluit om elke dag net by die huis te bly, bied dit genoeg om dit die moeite werd te maak.

Real Lowveld atmosphere that one wants to enjoy.

It's a spacious, modern house that is comfortably equipped and my whole family really enjoyed it. The photos on the website are just as they are: the interior decoration is stylish for the type of house, the animals come past the house to graze, full DStv for that one program or sports match you don't want to miss, and the large braai area looking out over the field. The nearest neighbors are just visible through the trees, and you stay private without any disturbances. We never felt unsafe: the camp security is on duty 24 hours a day and also does visible patrolling (very friendly staff). There is plenty to do in and around Marloth Park. The 2 entrances to the Kruger National Park are also close by, but if you decide to just stay at the house every day, it offers enough to make it worthwhile.

Lekker wegbreek van die stad.

Dit was heerlik om al die diere van naby te beskou. Ons het onder andere zebra, vlakvarke en volstruise gehad wat ons besoek het. Die bokkies en kameelperde was bietjie skaam, maar het ons so van 'n entjie beloer. Die huis is baie goed toegerus en ons het niks gekort om kos mee te maak ens nie. Daar is niks om oor te kla nie, maar 'n voorstel sou die volgende wees: Die loft was ongelooflik warm en die waaier het nie gehelp nie. Ek sou voorstel dat nog 'n lugverkoeler bo aangebring word. Dit is ook vreeslik warm in Desember so ons kon nie buite sit by die boma gedurende die dag nie. 'n Gazebo of skadunet aan die een kant sal dalk bietjie verligting buite bring. Die kommunikasie en diens was baie goed en ons sal beslis weer terug wees. Baie dankie vir 'n heerlike wegbreek.

Nice break from the city.

It was wonderful to see all the animals up close. Among others, we had zebra, warthogs and ostriches visit us. The goats and giraffes were a bit shy, but stalked us from a distance. The house is very well equipped and we lacked nothing to make food etc. There is nothing to complain about, but a suggestion would be the following: The loft was incredibly hot and the fan did not help. I would suggest fitting another air cooler upstairs. It's also terribly hot in December so we couldn't sit outside at the boma during the day. A gazebo or shade net on one side might bring some relief outside. The communication and service was very good and we will definitely be back again. Thank you very much for a lovely break.

We really relaxed.

The travel from home was a bit far. Driving in Marloth Park we did see wild. Didn't have to go in the Kruger Park. The best is the Jacuzzi kept my boys busy. We will come again.

Dit was baie netjies en gerieflik. Alles en meer wat mens nodig het.

Ons het uitruilstudente van La Reunion soontoe gevat en dit was vir hulle 'n wonderlike belewenis om die diere so naby te sien. Geriewe wat uitstekend, ons het dit baie geniet.

It was very neat and convenient. Everything one could need and more.

We took exchange students from La Reunion there and it was wonderful for them to see the animals come so close. Facilities were excellent and we really enjoyed it.

Was most relaxing holiday I have had.

Feeling a part of nature with the Giraffe, Kudu, Zebra walking past or even up to you. Great way to truly experience South Africa. Walking Tall has all the things that you need to have - feeling home away from home. A short walk then you at Crocodile river, although Walking tall is just off the main road in Marloth - you don't hear the vehicles. Really look forward to planning our next trip.

Lovely relaxing weekend.

Johan was very helpful and his place is clean and has a "homey feel to it". We were fortunate enough to have a few four legged friends come and say hi. I would definitely visit Walking Tall again!

Comfortable, relaxing retreat with everything you need.

This was exactly what my family needed. This was without doubt one of the best places we have ever been to. The rooms are big and comfortable. The place is well maintained and everything was in order.

Ons het deur heelwat akkommodasie in Marlothpark gegaan en ons besluit op Walking Tall was voorwaar die regte besluit!

Die huis is baie goed toegerus en daar was niks in die kombuis wat gekort het nie. Die kamers was baie netjies en die beddegoed mooi en het gelyk of dit splinternuut is. Die braaiarea met sy groot rooster is goed ontwerp om te kuier en steeds met die diere interaksie te hê. Dit was 'n ervaring en herinneringe om te koester. 'n Paar voorstelle wat ons wil maak: Die bedlampies se versierings pas baie mooi aan by die bosatmosfeer, maar dit maak dat die beligting baie flou is en dat ons nie in die aand in die bed 'n boek of tydskrif kon lees nie. Die badkamers het nie heeltemal so skoon soos die res van die huis voorgekom nie en spesifiek in die groot badkamer was die badmatjie baie vuil. Die kop van die stortmengerkraan (mixer) in die badkamer in die dubbelbedkamer was los. Webtuiste se advertensie en beskrywing van die slaapkamers kan verbeter word. Ons sou voorstel dat genoem word dat 3 van die slaapkamers op grondvlak is, met 'n addisionele 3 beddens in die solderkamer. Dit was 'n welkome verrassing dat ons nie trappe hoef te geklim het na die slaapkamers nie.

We went through a lot of accommodation in Marlothpark and our decision on Walking Tall was indeed the right decision!

The house is very well equipped and there was nothing missing in the kitchen. The rooms were very neat and the bedding nice and looked like it was brand new. The braai area with its large grill is well designed for hanging out and still interacting with the animals. It was an experience and memories to cherish. A few suggestions we would like to make: The decorations of the bedside lamps match the forest atmosphere very nicely, but this means that the lighting is very dim and that we could not read a book or magazine in bed in the evening. The bathrooms did not appear quite as clean as the rest of the house and specifically in the large bathroom the bath mat was very dirty. The head of the shower mixer tap (mixer) in the bathroom in the double bedroom was loose. Website advertisement and description of the bedrooms could be improved. We would suggest mentioning that 3 of the bedrooms are at ground level, with an additional 3 beds in the loft room. It was a welcome surprise that we didn't have to climb stairs to get to the bedrooms.

Sal definitief aanbeveel vir enige iemand wat Wildtuin wil besoek.

Dit was een van die lekkerste verblyf nog in Marlothpark. Zebras letterlik op stoep kom kuier. Die huis is baie goed ingerig en het alles wat jy benodig vir 'n wonderlike vakansie. Plek was baie skoon en netjies. Ons het lekker in die Jacuzzi geboer, definitief 'n pluspunt. As jy 'n lekker wegbreek benodig is hierdie net die regte rusplekkie vir siel en gees, sal vir enige iemand aanbeveel.

Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to visit Wildlife Park.

It was one of the nicest stays ever in Marlothpark. Zebras literally come to visit on the porch. The house is very well furnished and has everything you need for a great holiday. Place was very clean and tidy. We had a great time in the Jacuzzi, definitely a plus. If you need a nice break this is just the right resting place for soul and spirit, would recommend to anyone.

Genotvol.

Het heel lekker gebly. Die toevoerwaterpyp na die Lodge het gebars en ons moes spook om iemand te kry om dit te herstel. Ons moes 'n breekskadedeposito van R1000 betaal. Hierdie bedrag is nog nie terugbetaal nie.

Heerlik, skoon en rustig.

Een van ons lekkerste vakansies nog. Diere loop letterlik op die stoep rond en in die nag hoor jy leeus brul. Die Jacuzzi het die kinders besig gehou tot laat, terwyl ons rustig gesit en braai het. Ek sal definitief die plek aanbeveel vir enige iemand wat die wildtuin wil besoek.

Lovely, clean and peaceful.

One of our best vacations yet. Animals literally walk around on the porch and at night you hear lions roaring. The Jacuzzi kept the kids busy until late, while we sat quietly and barbecued. I would definitely recommend the place to anyone who wants to visit the wildlife park.

Dit is so rustig met die rivier net in die pad af.

Sit op die stoep en sien die diere een vir een verby kom en kom hallo sê. 'n Slukkie water en hulle is weer op pad. Woonplek is baie gerieflik. Die 2 en suite-badkamers is net bietjie knap veral vir 'n groot man. Maar die res maak op daarvoor. Stap net met die pad af en die rivier vloei daar verby. Dit was awesome.

It is so peaceful with the river just down the road.

Sit on the porch and watch the animals pass by one by one and come to say hello. A sip of water and they are on their way again. Residence is very comfortable. The 2 en-suite bathrooms are just a bit tight, especially for a big man. But the rest makes up for it. Just walk down the road and the river flows by. It was awesome.

Awesome.

Sou gaaf wees om die opsie van 'n skoonmaker te hê. Ons is after all op vakansie. Huis en lapa is super gemaklik, die beddens ook. Sou ook nice wees as stoep kon sluit vir fietse en trommels. TV is great vir Super Rugby, vir die res was die kids buite. Het R200 gelos vir skoonmaak op laaste dag. Jacuzzi het kinders baie besig gehou ... fantastiese idee! All in all 'n great wegbreek. Sal weer gaan, beslis. Baie dankie!

Awesome!

A cleaning service would have been nice - we are on holiday after all! House and lapa are super comfortable as well as the beds. Would have been nice to be able to lock the veranda for bikes and trunks. TV is great for Super Rugby and the kids played outside. Left R200 for cleaning on the last day. Jacuzzi kept the kids busy and it was a fantastic idea! All in all it was a great getaway! Will definitely go back, thank you!

Netjies en goed ingerig

Plek was baie netjies en betreklik goed ingerig. Die en suite-badkamers is regtig net ongemaklik klein. Die voordeur kon nie van binne sluit nie oor die handvatsel stukkend was, maar het eienaar bewus gemaak. Die bou-geraas van die buurman was net heeltemal onaanvaarbaar. Dit het voor 06:00 in oggende begin en aangehou tot laatmiddag elke dag. Ek het dit met die bouer opgeneem en vriendelik versoek om dit darem net sagter te hou in die oggend, maar hy het my gesê om dit met die eienaar van huis by wie ek huur te bespreek wat ek wel gedoen het. Hy kon nie veel doen nie behalwe om my paar rand afslag te gee op 1 dag se bespreking, so my beplande tyd van rus en vrede was als behalwe dit. Ek vertrou die bouery sal voltooi wees in die volgende maand.

Neat and well equipped.

Place was very neat and comparatively well equipped. The en suite bathrooms are just very uncomfortably tiny. The front door couldn't lock from the inside because the handle was broken, but we alerted the owner. The building noise from the neighbour was just completely unacceptable. It started before 06:00 in the morning and carried on until late afternoon every day. I took it up with the builder and made a friendly request for them to please keep it down in the mornings, but he told me to discuss it with the owner of the house I was renting, which I did. He couldn't really do much except to give me a small discount on 1 day's booking, so my planned time of rest and peace was everything but that. I trust the building process will be completed next month.
