Guest Reviews
- Karin (7/5): Staff friendly, helpful - Location
Animal interaction Bedding and beds
Cockroaches in kitchen
- Lerato (10/5): -
- Roberto (9/5): It was extremely peaceful and the property made our stay worth while. - The property as a whole was beautiful. Modern style home with great features. Good size rooms from bedrooms, to bathrooms, to the lounge area, the kitchen as well as the outside area. The braai area with the pool is an amazing set up. There was no shower which is confusing because the house has everything else but a shower. And its not as if there isn't enough space in the bathroom for a shower to fit. The only other real complaint would be in the one bedroom the bed/bed frames made so much noise. Just sitting on the bed, getting up or into bed would make so much noise.
- Mxolisi (10/5): The property exceeded my expectations, with such good and friendly environment, with a great host -
- Kekeletso (8/5): Lovely experience. Beautiful house - They really need to do attend to the coakroach problem. Too many coackroaches in the kitchen which made us uncomfortable to place our food on the table
- Maxita77 (9/5): -
- busisiwe (10/5): Amazing stay - Perfect for our small family. Inside and out its a beautiful place and enjoyed the splash pool and animal sightings. Definitely a 5 star experience
- Natasja Dunn (10/5): - Beautiful house. Very modern. Excellent location.
- Dauvellier (6/5): Very modern and comfortable but needs attention. - The house was well and modernly decorated although you could see it was a bit neglected. The layout and bedrooms were comfortable in size. The kitchen is well equipped. The linen was crisp and the pillows of good standard. Beds comfortable. The lighting in the garden and outside created a nice ambiance. Love the towel hooks. The kitchen was well equipped The cockroaches is a huge problem!!!!!!
The unit needs a shower and there is definitely place for a shower in the large bathroom!!
Certain aspects of the unit/house has been neglected : The curtains are busy falling apart on top where the eyelets have come loose, the hinges on the doors needs fixing, some are broken out!
The bedrooms BIC's shelves can be painted or wallpapered - it looks dirty
The bedrooms can do with a little table in each room by the mirrors for vanity items. There is space.
The mirror in the bathroom is far too high!!!
Another floating shelve, in between the two windows in the bathroom, will help. Not too high.
The bicycle in the bathroom is not fixed and fell over, however the idea is cool, but not practical.
The drain smelled terrible every time you flushed the toilet, especially if you sit on the patio.
The dishwasher smelled and there were many cockroaches inside it.
No steel spatula so be used on the fire
Cockroaches were nesting in the cutlery drawer
The one chair in kitchen was broken.
2 x small tables outside on the patio to put your wine glass on, will be handy.
Mesh/snake screens in front of some windows will be useful.
The pool was dirty when we arrived and needs attention/paint
The water dispenser on the fridge was leaking and could not be used
I can make new curtains!! :)
- Thomas (10/5): Beautiful holiday destination - The place is beautiful and quiet and location was excellent. The one toilet with the bathroom and without shower was disappointing because when one is using the toilet (kids), i could go to the bathroom or bath. It needs to have a shower because South africa has struggled with water(water scarescountry), and a bath uses lots of water. And those fancy bath they have are too high and again they are small for a big person like me. Please include a shower because of the time for when a person only needs a quick shower.
- Machaba (9/5): -
- Madisha (10/5): Very peacefully and comfortable - Everything Nothing
- Sylvia (8/5): Lovely Stay - Lovely house at a good location. The interior is beautifully decorated and comfortable. It just needs a few extras in the kitchen; salad spoons, plastic containers for leftovers & glass serving dishes with lids.
- Mark (9/5): Porcupine Porch review - Mark Knight - Everything about house and environment, close to Park gates, various animals grazed closed to the house and even drank from the pool . Shaylin and cleaning staff very friendly and helpful. Took a long time to get through Park gates, especially Crocodile Bridge. Probably because of school holidays
- Lungile (10/5): The host Shayln was very welcoming and I also got a welcoming gift on arrival - The whole house was amazing, it was clean and spacious I can’t fault it with anything, just that there’s no shower
- Rudzwana (10/5): Perfect dream home - Everything was perfect and more than what I expected. Very amazing and a place I can stay in for a very long time Very neat, elegant,classy and beautiful 👌🏽🥰
- Sarel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jenine (8/5): Wonderful Stay! - We had a wonderful stay at Porcupine Porch. The chalet is well located in Marloth Park and is very well equipped!
- Siphiwe (10/5): Exceptional -
