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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
