Overall gelukkig, skoon en netjies.

Dit was baie lekker, die miere by die braai area was net baie. Dit sal gaaf wees as julle dit onder beheer kan kry. Die lig in die badkamer was ook geblaas. Buiten dit, happy holiday makers.

Overall happy, clean and tidy.

It was very nice, the ants at the braai area were just a lot. It would be great if you guys could get it under control. The light in the bathroom was also blown. Other than that, happy holiday makers.

Die kuier was lekker behalwe vir die ligging.

Wat nie gese word nie, is dat die plek geleë langs verskeie ander eenhede, so mens verloor so bietjie die bosgevoel. Die swembad op die foto is nie die swembad by die cottage nie. Verder is die eenheid met die basiese toegerus.

This review is being shown in its original language.

The visit was nice except for the location.

What is not said is that the place is located next to several other units, so you kind of lose the feeling of the forest. The pool in the photo is not the pool at the cottage. Furthermore, the unit is equipped with the basics.

Teleurgesteld, kon beter.

Met ons aankoms in by Zebra Cottage, was ons nie seker waar die eenhied is waar ons moes bly nie, Zebra Cottage bordjie was klein en nie goed sigbaar nie, dus het ons na die eienaar se ingaan gery waar die huisnommer goed gemerk was. Dit was wel nie 'n goeie eerste indruk gewees nie a.g.v. die netheid van die erf en omgewing. Ons het wel die eienaar aan die hande gekry en hy het ons uitgewys waar om te parkeer en waar die eenheid is. Met aankoms in die eenheid was die eenheid nie geprep nie, yskaste was warm, waaiers was af, krag het bly trip, swembad water was nie skoon gewees nie, aircon se kragdrade was nie goed geseël nie, boonste stort se waterdrukking was nie reg nie a.g.v. kalk in die stort kop en badkamer fixtures in onderste badkamer soos handdoek rail is los gewees, boonste badkamer se toiletrolhouer was glad nie daar gewees nie. Ons kon met die eienaar reël dat hulle die krag regmaak en ook die swembadwater skoongemaak word. Verder as die bogenoemde, geniet ons altyd die wild en atmosfeer in Marloth.

Disappointed, could do better.

When we arrived at Zebra Cottage, we were not sure where the unit was where we had to stay, Zebra Cottage sign was small and not well visible, so we drove to the owner's entrance where the house number was well marked. It was not a good first impression because the cleanliness of the yard and surroundings. We did get hold of the owner and he showed us where to park and where the unit is. Upon arrival in the unit, the unit was not prepped, refrigerators were hot, fans were off, power kept tripping, pool water was not clean, aircon power cords were not well sealed, overhead shower water pressure was not correct due to limescale in the shower head and bathroom fixtures in the lower bathroom such as the towel rail were loose, the upper bathroom's toilet roll holder was not there at all. We were able to arrange with the owner that they fix the power and also clean the pool water. Beyond the above, we always enjoy the wildlife and atmosphere in Marloth.

Een nag oorslaap saam met skoonsuster op pad na die wildtuin.

Geen toiletpapier, hoofslaapkamer bed sonder enige beddegoed, lakens wel beskikbaar, geen kussingslope. Bed bo met gordyne op gevind wat afgeval het, ander bed gebreekte spieël en pakkie kondome. Braaiplek nie skoon, braaitange langs braaier gevind ongewas. Manlike eienaar was baie behulpsaam, het daar aangekom later in middag. Het beddegoed van ander eenheid gebring. Ons ook gehelp met vuur aansteek. Baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Baie dankie.

Idyllic.

What a beautiful little gem nestled in Martloth. Everything we needed was right there and the pool a blessing during the exceptionally warm days. Our family enjoyed the stay and the owners are friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed the wildlife that frequented the cottage in the mornings and evenings. The cottage was clean and the beds exceptionally comfortable. We will be returning. We saw so many animals in Marloth Park as well. The children loved taking wildlife pictures. My father enjoyed the visit very much as he could access all the amenities on the ground level. the braai area is stocked with everything you need. There were ample fans and aircon in the house.

Oulike plekkie, het als wat mens nodig het.

Ons het eintlik net daar geslaap en gestort, heel gerieflik en goed vir ons doeleindes. Die waterdruk in die storte is net baie swak, tot die punt dat ons gesukkel het om te stort. Daar was skaars water.

Die verblyf was goed. Goeie waarde vir geld.

Die binnekuier-area is ietwat klein vir groepe groter as 4 alhoewel dit slaapplek bied vir ses volwassenes en n kind. Die buitekuierarea is wel beskikbaar maar sal nie werk vir 'n groter groep indien daar slegte weer is nie. Dit is wel 'n baie lekker kuierplek vir 'n gesin.

The stay was good. Good value for money.

The indoor hangout area is somewhat small for groups larger than 4 although it offers sleeping space for six adults and a child. The outside hangout area is available but will not work for a larger group if there is bad weather. It is indeed a very nice place to visit for a family.

Alles wat nodig is.

Hierdie is presies wat ons nodig gehad het: slaapplek, braaiplek en ‘n swembad waar jy kan ontsnap van die hitte na ‘n lekker, lang en warm dag in die Wildtuin. En die kort staproete rivier toe is ‘n wen!

Everything that is needed.

This is exactly what we needed: a place to sleep, a barbecue area and a swimming pool where you can escape from the heat after a nice, long and hot day in the Wildtuin. And the short walk to the river is a win!

Heerlik.

Wat 'n aangename verrassing! Met ons aankoms is ons hartlik deur die eienaar verwelkom. Niks was vir hom te veel moeite nie. Hy het selfs vir ons kleinkinders kom wys waar om vir die nagapies te kyk. Die "cottage" het alles in wat nodig is vir 'n heerlike wegbreek. Ons het heerlik ontspan. Ons kleinkinders was in ekstase oor die wild wat kom kuier het. Ons sal beslis weer by Zebra Cottage bespreek en dit by enige een aanbeveel.

What a pleasant surprise! Upon our arrival we were warmly welcomed by the owner. Nothing was too much trouble for him. He even came to show our grandchildren where to look for the night monkeys. The "cottage" has everything you need for a wonderful break. We had a great time relaxing. Our grandchildren were ecstatic about the wildlife that came to visit. We would definitely book at Zebra Cottage again and recommend it to anyone.

Ons het heerlik gekuier in julle cottage. Alles wat nodig is, was daar. Dankie vir julle besorgdheid en bedagsaamheid Erica & Koos, ons het waarlik welkom en tuis gevoel. Die diere wat tot by die huis kom was 'n fees vir almal en ons het die wonderlikste memories en foto's huis toe geneem. Sal beslis weer kom en ook aanbeveel vir al ons familie en vriende.

Uiters teleurstellend!

Geen pakplek vir ons klere van enige aard nie, hetsy kas of rak. Met navraag met Ericka word ons in kennis gestel dat die kas verwyder is omdat niemand dit gebruik het nie, so jy leef dus 4 dae uit 'n tas. Geen privaat splash pool, maar kon die hoofhuis s'n gebruik. Die volgende dag was daar mense en ons wou nie inbreuk maak op hulle privaatheid nie. Die sitkamerspasie kan nie 6 mense akkommodeer nie!

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

Really disapponting!

No storage space fo clothes, no cupboard or shelf. When we queried this Ericka told us they removed the cupboard because no one was using it, so you have to live out of your suitcase for 4 days. No private splash pool, but we were given access to the pool at the main house. The next day there were people and we didn't want to invade their privacy. The lounge is not big enough for 6 people.
