Well styled and equipped house with big terrace with view on the park, lot’s of animals roaming around, nice pool, remote from the other houses in the park, 20mins from crocodile bridge gate to KNP, good contact with owner, we had a small hiccup when checking in, was solved swiftly by the owner, definitely recommend!

Everything was perfect and made the stay a pleasant one

My fiancé and I loved the privacy and quiet of this location, especially over the December holidays where Marloth Park was really full of visitors. It was our own little oasis. The setup of the patio and pool area is really spacious and comfortable, and having it raised above the ground level means you can enjoy your braai without some of the more tame park residents coming too close to search for food. Extra large windows throughout the house bring so much light inside and provide great views of the bush surroundings and park's animals. The house is compact but so well designed as to make a stay very enjoyable. The bed was really comfortable and we appreciated the aircon in the room on some of the hotter days. Rihanda, the property manager, was extremely helpful and friendly and we appreciated her quick responses to any of our queries. Would highly recommend staying here.

We loved our stay! We found the place really well designed and easy to enjoy. There were a few very tiny things we'd suggest, such as having a few more dishtowels and cutlery, but overall it had everything needed for a great holiday. We would probably avoid visiting in December again just because of the sheer volume of people staying in Marloth, but we will definitely visit here again.

The atmosphere. The scenery. It was so tranquil

Nothing

The unit is absolutely beautiful, with all the necessities that are required in a self catering holiday home. It felt like a home away from home. The unit has everything one uses at home. Beautiful finishing touches. Different types of pillows was the highlight for me. The huge windows that makes animal viewing so much better 🥰. The floors were super clean, we were able to walk bare foot inside the house. We were very pleased that there was also a pool towel, which most places does not have. The location is beautiful and private, which is exactly what we were looking for. It exceeded our expectations! 1 Thing that can be done to make the guests stay even more better, to put a leaflet or booklet in the unit, with details of shops and restaurants should the guests need to buy a few things. On our arrival, we realized that we forgot to buy wood for braaing, we drove around the area not knowing were to go and operating hours of the shops, we eventually drove out to Komatipoort.

The sliding door in the lounge had hand prints which we assumed were from the previous guests( which we wiped off ). The shower floor also had hair strands which we also assumed it was from the previous guests. There was a bit of dust on some of the items, specifically the ornaments and floating shelves. The pots are rusted. The front door is hard to open and close, which requires a bit of hard pull and push, which could potentially damage it. The lock hole was also a bit loose missing 1 screw, which could potentially get damaged by a guest. The pool bed mattresses were also a bit dirty. In essence, there were traces of the previous guests, which in my view, shouldn't be the case, the unit must feel as if it was prepared specially for the new guests.
