A lovely place to stay when wanting to visit the Kruger Park. We had a lovely stay with everything we needed for our holiday. The kitchen is well stocked with a variety of cookware and crockery. The beds are very comfortable, and we felt rested and ready to take on each new day. Just one recommendation: 3 of our group were on crutches, and there was no comfortable seating downstairs. The outside picnic table is handy but difficult to sit at with one leg not working properly. A few camping chairs on the stoep would have been welcome.

Short attention span. The location was good, with lots of little goats living around the house. Every day we found animals at the feeding trough. The pool was dirty with algae floating and growing everywhere. Next to the swimming pool/barbecue area lies old construction debris that was never thrown away. The ashes of the fire are thrown just next to the wall of the boma area. Some of the tiles at the boma's seats are gone, which doesn't look good. The place urgently needs a decent cleaning session, maintenance work and some new furniture. The WiFi was a plus.

Kort aandag. Die ligging was goed, met baie klein bokkies wat om die huis bly en woon. Ons het elke dag diere gekry by die voerbak. Die swembad was vuil met alge wat orals ronddryf en groei. Langs die swembad/braai-area lê ou bourommel wat nooit weggegooi was nie. Die as van die vuur word net langs die muur van die boma-area gegooi. Van die teëls by die boma se sitplekke is weg, wat nie mooi vertoon nie. Die plek kort dringend 'n ordentlike skoonmaaksessie, maintenance werk en 'n paar nuwe meubels. Die WiFi was 'n pluspunt.

For adults it was okay - but disappointing for the kids who wanted to swim in the 40 degree heat. Vacation was very nice, but the pool was not in working order, so the trip was not as exciting for the kids since they couldn't play in the pool, forcing us to spend less time at the house.

Relaxing and great house! The house is spacious with more than enough space for 8 people, the 3 full bathrooms made everything so much better. House is equipped with most necessities, except the following which made the stay a bit unpleasant. 1. There is no broom or mop in the house, when we asked the lady who looks after the property if we can arrange for someone to clean the house - everyone was booked. We then asked if she only can arrange a broom and mop for us, after almost no assistance, she only left a broom. We then went and bought a mop as it seemed she doesn't want to help or assist us with something one shall think is standard practice to leave a broom and mop for your guests. 2. There is no one cleaning the fire pit in the mornings. There is no shovel for us to do it ourselves, we asked the lady in charge of the house if we can arrange a shovel as the ashes were getting a lot after a few days. She, unfortunately, did not want to assist us in this matter as well. We noticed they dump the ashes behind the braai area's wall - looking terrible by the way. When we booked in, we needed to fetch the keys at Field Security - What a rude lady working there, she was so unfriendly and rude that we told her that kindness costs nothing. Not sure if she is under the impression that she is doing us a favour, in fact, if it wasn't for the guests, she most probably will not have a job. We visit Marloth 2 to 3 times a year, she made sure that we will never book any accommodation if we need to fetch keys at Field Security. Both in and check out was a horrible experience. Otherwise, Vakantiehuis is a really superb house, clean and tidy inside. Needs a bit of TLC outside. Just sorry people in charge of the house and bookings making it a bit unpleasant.

Thank you for your feedback. Happy that you enjoyed the house. So sorry to hear about the way you are addressed by our caretaker and the security. Not how we would like it to be for our guests. The outside does need TLC, working on that one. Hope you will enjoy Marloth again in the future

Dankie vir jou terugvoering. Bly dat jy die huis geniet het. So jammer om te hoor van die manier waarop jy aangespreek word deur ons opsigter en die sekuriteit. Nie hoe ons dit vir ons gaste sou wou hê nie. Die buitekant het TLC nodig, besig met daardie een. Hoop jy sal Marloth weer in die toekoms geniet

Average. Getting the key had been a whole day trip. The number given to contact was unreachable and we had to contact the agent ourselves. The pool was not working at all and we were not notified. The roof fans are all on 1 speed no matter how high or low you set them. There were a lot of cockroaches. Much of the crockery was cracked. The plot had not been looked after for a long time.

Gemiddeld. Om die sleutel te kry was 'n hele dagtrippie gewees. Die nommer wat gegee was om te kontak was onbereikbaar en ons moes die agent self kontak. Die swembad het glad nie gewerk nie en ons was nie in kennis gestel nie. Die dakwaaiers is almal op 1 spoed, gee nie om hoe hoog of laag jy hulle stel nie. Daar was baie kokkerotte. Baie van die breekware was gekraak. Die erfie was lanklaas na omgesien.

It had not been a good experience, especially not for the first visit to Marloth. The door locks are broken, most of the window blinds are off, curtains are filthy with marks everywhere. Light switch is broken, bedside lamps do not work. Plates and cups are dirty and all the glasses are chipped. The place is dirty, shower and floors are dirty. There are cobwebs everywhere after they said they cleaned the place the day before. The place needs upgrading, the towels and bedding would be a good start as they are all washed out and look like scrubbing rags. The headboard of the bed is loose and falls on you while you sleep, big safety risk because it is very heavy. I would not recommend it to anyone. The tiles at the braai outside are broken and off in places and the braai is broken, need to use bricks to prop up the grill.

Dit was nie 'n goeie ervaring gewees nie, veral nie vir die eerste besoek aan Marloth nie. Die deure se slotte is stukkend, meeste van die vensters se blindings is af, gordyne is vieslik vuil met merke orals. Ligskakelaar is stukkend, bedlampies werk nie. Borde en bekkers is vuil en al die glasse is getjip. Die plek is vuil, stort en vloere is vuil. Daar is orals spinnerakke na daar gesê is hulle het die plek die vorige dag skoongemaak. Die plek kort opgradering, die handdoeke en beddegoed sal 'n goeie begin wees, want dit is alles uitgewas en lyk soos skroplappe. Die bed se kopstuk is los en val op jou terwyl jy slaap, groot veiligheidsrisiko want dit is baie swaar. Ek sal dit vir niemand aanbeveel nie. Die teëls by die braai buite is stukkend en af op plekke en die braai is stukkend, moet bakstene gebruik om rooster te stut.

Great location and great animal interaction. A holiday highlight for us for sure. Our visit was really nice. The place is very special and beautiful. Everything worked as expected. A few comments that we hope the owner will take into account. There were not enough black bags and toilet paper for the amount of people. The stock can be adjusted by the number of people in the house and the period of the rental. Overall the place was clean except for the back door which we couldn't use. Lots of cobwebs and clearly not cleaned for a long time. We would also like to recommend that the trash rack outside in the street be lined with chicken wire, as the little monkey hands tear the bags to pieces and paper and plastic are blown all over the world. We appreciate the beauty of nature and do not like to see rubbish in the field and I think it is dangerous for the other animals. We just picked it up again and tried to keep the monkeys away. Otherwise, truly been a joy. Wish we could stay longer.

Goeie ligging en wonderlike diere-interaksie. Vir seker 'n vakansiehoogtepunt vir ons. Ons kuiertjie was voorwaar baie lekker. Die plek is baie spesiaal en mooi. Alles het gewerk soos verwag. 'n Paar opmerkings wat ons hoop die eienaar in ag sal neem. Daar was nie genoeg swartsakke en toiletpapier vir die hoeveelhied mense nie. Die voorraad kan aangepas word deur die hoeveelheid mense in die huis en die tydperk van die huur. Oor die algemeen was die plek skoon behalwe vir die agterdeur wat ons nie kon gebruik nie. Baie spinnerakke en duidelik lanklaas skoongemaak. Ons wil ook graag aanbeveel dat die vuilgoedrak buite in die straat uitgevoer word met ogiesdraad (chicken wire) aangesien die klein aaphandjies die sakke stukkend skeur and papiere en plastiek die hele wêreld vol waai. Ons waardeer die skoonheid van die natuur en wil nie graag gemors in die veld sien nie en ek dink dis gevaarlik vir die ander diere. Ons het maar als weer opgetel en die ape probeer weghou. Andersins, voorwaar 'n vreugde gewees. Wens ons kon langer bly.

Peaceful stay in the Bush. Very peaceful stay in the bush, we enjoyed every moment. The breakaway from the city life is much needed and the peace and quiet experienced was heavens.
