The place is not maintained. I took pictures if anyone wants to see.
Not a nice stay at all. If the place were mine, I'd be ashamed to let people stay there for nothing, let alone rent it out!

Had a great time until it started raining.
House is nice and spacious but needs urgent repair work. It rained hard for 2 hours with the result that the whole house was under water. It rained into the room with the 2 single beds on the top floor through the new thatched roof (which we learned was redone in August) and the water seeped through the wooden floor into the lower room. The aircon in the same room leaks causing the room to smell musty. The upper floor living room also had it rain in 4 different places through the thatched roof. The lower room closest to the parking's aircon is also leaking inside the room. The pool was dirty and unusable.

Baie wild gesien.

Seen a lot of wildlife.
Maintenance of house not as desired and some of the furniture is very old. Kitchen is well equipped. Wooden fence outside needs a lot of attention, is old and falling apart. The wooden house (wendy) is an eyesore. The visiting area (deck) above the garage is not recommended at all, nor are the wooden stairs to the deck. House and the living area need a lot of attention.

House is very neglected.
Closet doors broken, shower heads broken, no key for doors except entry door, power was out when we got there in 40 degrees. Would have been a really nice visit if they looked after their houses better. Pool was dirty. Cobwebs in rooms. Very unfriendly people at Securicon to pick up key.

Felt safe.
However, the mattresses and bedding on the ground floor need attention. More emergency lights in case of a power outage would be an asset.

House was big but dirty.
No toilet paper or soap in the bathrooms. Pool was dirty and unusable. The wooden scaffolding and wooden fence at the back of the braai area are dilapidated and in need of serious work. Garden chairs at the braai area were broken.

We had a great stay, the place was very nice, clean and spacious. Everything was there that we needed. Pool was a blessing for the heat. Many animals came to visit looking for something to snack on. Would definitely recommend and wouldn't mind booking there again for our next visit.

Always been happy with places we booked but not the 1!
I wouldn't even take the place again for nothing. Everything was dirty and untidy - everything had to be washed before it could be used. A lot of things are broken. It's actually easier to say what was right instead of what was wrong. The air conditioner and fridge worked!

Morning Danie
This is an extremely disturbing review. But thanks for giving us feedback. The cleaners actually were there on the day you arrived. We were getting the roof rethatched before you arrived, I wonder if that was the problem, but it should still have been sorted before you arrived. Our last review was all 5's, so we really would like a bit more information if possible. So sorry that you had such a bad experience.

Well.
We were only home for a short time because we went to the Wildlife Park. The house needs attention. The bricks painted white are full of dust and do not show well. We found problems which we brought to the attention of the owner, upstairs there is a blocked sink and drain pipe which is down and running the water against the house, in room with 2 single beds the tube light was flickering and making a big noise

Very quiet and private.
There were small mistakes but the owner fixed them quickly. Will go back to Zebra Haven again. Had a great stay. Many animals come to the house in the evening looking for something to eat. Zebra Haven is also very safe to stay in.

Disappointing.
It's such a shame that I have to give negative feedback, but unfortunately we were very disappointed in the place. It was really not clean, not even the kitchenware, fridge and there are cobwebs everywhere and big cockroaches, it really looks like the place is not maintained or cleaned thoroughly between guests' visits, the place definitely needs a lot of attention inside and outside, as well as some updating in terms of furniture and a thorough cleaning. We did enjoy seeing the night owls.

Lovely rest in a quiet bush-veld atmosphere.
Very nice stay. Everything was clean and neat. No problem with electricity or warm water. The owner Brent was very friendly and helpful. He is in the process of upgrading the equipment and installing a new dining set and frying pan. Game is very tame and we saw kudus, bush-buck, duikers, zebras and warthogs at our camp.

Thank you so much Thora, for your great review. We placed a flavorwave oven into the kitchen in the meantime, whilst we determine the size of stove for the house. We look forward to welcoming you back soon.

We had a very nice time in the bush-atmosphere.
Even though we had a nice time, there are a few suggestions I'd like to make: I would plaster the walls inside the house because at the moment it appears dirty because there is dust in the slit between the bricks. The sheets for the double bed doesn't fit properly (a bit too small and couldn't be tucked in) so when you turn around the sheet rolls up under you. Fumigate the house to get rid of the bugs in the thatch roof. Make the deck a bit more accessible place. The accommodation has some good potential.

Afternoon Willem,
Thank you for your review and the added suggestions. It is always great to hear from guests how we can improve, especially guests that have high standards such as yourself. We will endeavour to take some of the suggestions on board, before your next visit.
Bush regards,

Accommodation not value for money.
I would not recommend Zebra Haven to anyone. The most unpleasant holiday experience ever. The power is off for a few hours every day. The cutlery and everything in the kitchen is about 50 years old. This along with the furniture in the house. Everyone has their own taste, but not furniture and cutlery that dates from the 1950s. If you have a holiday home that you rent out, you must keep it clean and update it over time. The house has three doors going outside, we only have one set of keys for one door. The photos on the web where you can sit upstairs are locked with a lock and chain. Lastly, please take all your personal photos and funeral letters out of the house because I'm sure not any guest staying there wants to see them. It is very unprofessional to do such a thing. It felt to me like I was visiting my grandmother's house in the 1950's, most disgusting holiday ever in my life. Couldn't sleep at all in the evenings with all the personal belongings of the owner in the house. Would not recommend it to any person at all.

Zebra Haven 's response
Good Afternoon Marius and family.
I am absolutely mortified that the Marloth Havens Zebra haven property did not deliver on your family enjoying a well deserved holiday break. I have immediately dispatched our Marloth Park agent to look into the "funeral letters/photos" that you spoke about above, as we were certain that all personal effects were removed from the house but maybe something was missed and I apologise.
Point is taken with regards the cutlery. We overlooked that part and we did not replace them, as we did with the new crockery sets/microwave/kettle/toaster/gas cooker set-up. We will make a plan to rectify that situation as soon as possible.
We will update the website pictures and website information, with regards the availability of a single front-door access and the top lapa. The keys issue was taken on a security aspect and the top lapa will become available once the required furniture is acquired. This is something we obviously need to review.
Unfortunately, power availability in Marloth Park over festive periods when there is pressure on the grid, is an Eskom issue and I am informed that the Nkomazi Municipality is trying to rectify the situation, but that is a long-term issue. I hope the solar lights and gas geyser/cooker at least took some of the pain away from that unfortunate situation.
Thanks again for taking the time to write a review for Zebra Haven. We will endeavour to improve the experiences for our next guests. I know it seems unlikely now, but if you are ever to think about holidaying again in Marloth Park (during the non-peak season to decrease a repeat of the Eskom experience) please give us a shout via email and we will see what we can arrange to counter your prior experience.
Regards,
Marloth Havens
