Carpe Diem

The property was clean and close to attractions, and the house plus cottage was a great size for the family.

The pool got dirty in seconds, and when we asked for it to get cleaned we were told the pool was fine. The maintenance of the pool and property needs better management.

1, Had to wait for the host on delivery of keys for about 2 hours 2. Host did not expect us, sound like some communication gap to inform the readiness of house, we had to wait for cleaning of house and got towels only 2 days later after arrival. 3. Swimming pool very dirty, milky colour 4. Stove not in good working condition. 5. No cleaning material supplied. 6. Bath room door broken and struggled to close and open

The location is good, almost no traffic.

Check in says 10am. We got there at 11 and they were cleaning it. Around 14:00 we could go in but there were no towels as they were still getting washed. We drove 5 hours to get there so it was far from ideal. The place needs a lot of work. Lots of TLC. Outside, BBQ area. Grill needs replacing as it’s coming apart and tiles all around are broken and chipped. The brick flooring is very uneven and my daughter tripped multiple times. Swimming pool, very dirty and no net to clean the leaves. The house. All the netting around the windows and outside sliding doors need replacing. They are full of holes and the ones by the bathroom windows are half missing. Downstairs bathroom, the door is broken and the shower is missing its glass door. Kitchen needs new crockery, it’s every shape size and colour. Upstairs en suite the shower handle is broken. The house needs a deep clean, very dusty and spider webs all around.

The animals

What a huge disappointment for a Marloth stay. Way under standard in comparison to the other houses at Marloth that costs even less. The front door cannot be locked and have to sleep with unlocked door. Shower doors are broken and water floods floor. House was dirty. Dish cloth smelly. Scum in uncleaned shower and dirty toilet. Pool is a marsh of chemicals and kids could not swim. Very few utensils, pots have no proper lids. Broken and smelly mop. When addressed with the owner, she just said they will try better next time. Could not even offer a refund or a partial refund. Deifinitely will not be going back there again. House has so much potentially but clearly has not been maintained...

We like everything but the swimming pool was not clean.

The facility provided the comfort needed for a weekend stay. Liked the separate cottage. The outside living area was great and very inviting to use. The bushbaby feeder is an awesome addition and highlight of the trip.

The cutlery and crockery is mix-matched and very outdated. A fresh / new set of glasses, crockery and cutlery would be amazing for a big family gathering. Also the curtains could be updated in the main house.

The peace

Upstairs room doesn't have privacy

The house is situated at the perfect place, the house and cabin was very accommodating, clean and neat. There was a lot of animals around the house and the small river flowing behind the cabin gives it a tranquil setting. Would definitely suggest the house and would return as well for another stay.

There wasnt nothing me and the family disliked the place was perfect.
