Jewel in Marloth. It was by far the calmest most enjoyable "unwind" time in Marloth that I have ever experienced. Host communicated before we arrived, sent us web cam video clips of our visitors during our stay, and checked in after our break to see if there were any suggestions from our side where/what he could change or add. Yochanan is one incredible gem tucked away in the woods to experience privately enough, but there was a visit from various species of animals every day. We have been so blessed. The "cherry" on the cake was that we were treated to an extra "mahala" day. So our long weekend was extra special with an extra day. Thanks again.

Juweel in Marloth. Dit was by verre die rustigste lekkerste "unwind" tyd in Marloth wat ek ooit beleef het. Gasheer het kontak gemaak voor ons arriveer het, tydens ons verblyf vir ons web cam video grepe gestuur van ons besoekers, en na ons wegbreek ingeloer om te hoor of daar enige voorstelle van ons kant is waar/wat hy kan verander of byvoeg. Yochanan is een ongelooflike juweel weg gesteek in die bos om privaat genoeg te ervaar, maar daar was elke dag 'n besoek van verskeie diersoorte. Ons is so geseën gewees. Die "cherry" op die koek was wat ons met 'n ekstra "mahala" dag bederf het. So ons lang naweek was ekstra spesiaal met 'n dag ekstra. Dankie weereens.

Value for money. We couldn't have been more pleased with our stay. The house is well taken care of and has a homely atmosphere to it. For the price, our expectations were exceeded. The owner checked up on us before, during, and after the stay, which was very welcoming.

It was so relaxing. It was absolutely amazing. The house is incredibly beautiful and cozy, and we had so many visits from all types of animals the entire day. Absolutely worth it.

Great experience for young and old. Very nice stay. Children were always busy with the animals or in the pool. Will do it again for sure.

Fantastiese ervaring vir groot en klein. Baie lekker gebly. Kinders was heeltyd besig met die diere of in die swembad. Sal dit vir seker weer doen.

Great place. Fantastic host. Do not hesitate to book. Beautiful little house with all the comforts of home. Fully air-conditioned and everything worked. Utensils were extensive and we experienced no consequences of load shedding.

Rest for the soul. Accommodation is comfortable, but the animals so close to you make the holiday wonderful. Lovely walk along the river.

Rus vir die siel. Akkommodasie is gemaklik, maar die diere so naby aan jou maak die vakansie heerlik. Heerlik gestap langs die rivier.

Relaxing. We had a nice stay and relaxed. It was breathtaking with the animals that came to visit. The place was neat and beautiful. The stairs are not for the elderly or people with knee problems, they are high and far apart to climb. I would just suggest that someone check that everything is in order for clients in sign. We got there late at check-in time. There was no toilet paper in place and all the shops were closed at that time. No dish soap to rinse well. Nor a toaster. There were still some things that were not available. Coffee and sugar pot were just left where someone had last used them and left just like that. We had already broken away from people and didn't feel like complaining about it. First night there was no hot water either. We are lucky people who take most things together and can make a plan if necessary. But yes, it's worth it.

Ontspannend. Ons het lekker gebly en ontspan. Dit was asemrowend met die diere wat kom kuier. Die plek was netjies en pragtig. Die trappe is nie vir ouer mense of mense met knieprobleme nie, dit is hoog en ver uit mekaar om op te klim. Ek sou net voorstel dat iemand kyk dat alles in orde is vir kliente in teken. Ons het laat daar aangekom op inkloktyd. Daar was geen toiletpapier in plek nie en al die winkels was toe in daardie tyd. Geen skottelgoedseep om goed te kon spoel nie. Ook nie 'n toaster nie. Daar was nog 'n paar goed wat nie beskikbaar was nie. Koffie en suikerpot was net so gelos waar iemand dit laas gebruik het en net so gelos. Ons het reeds weggebreek van mense en was nie lus om te kla daaroor nie. Eerste aand was daar ook geen warm water nie. Ons is gelukkig mense wat meeste goed saamvat en 'n plan kan maak as nodig. Maar ja, dit is die moeite werd.

Hello Marchelle. Thanks for the feedback. I am very sorry about the toilet paper and dish soap. You should have just let me know about the problem, I would have immediately arranged something to help. I will be sure to address this for the future. It's unacceptable for my standard which has to be top, so far. I am also working on plans to change the stairs as soon as possible. Sorry again. Greetings Chris

Hallo Marchelle. Dankie vir die terugvoer. Ek is baie jammer oor die toiletpapier en skottelgoed seep. Jul moes my net laat weet het van die probleem, ek sou dadelik iets gereël het om te help. Ek sal verseker dit aanspreek vir die toekoms. Dis onaanvaarbaar vir my standaard wat top moet wees, tot dusver. Ek is ook besig met planne om die trappe te verander so gou moontlik. Nogmaals jammer. Groete Chris

Enjoyed the visit and will book the cottage as soon as neighbors extensions are finished. Overall we were happy with the cottage. However, I feel the following should be mentioned: Stairs to the 2nd level are very steep and older people or people with injuries are not necessarily going to be able to go up and down all the time. What is not practical is the fact that the bathroom/toilet is on the 2nd level and once again people with injuries (sore knees, ankles, back, hips, etc.) will definitely struggle. Something that is temporary, but did have a big impact on my mood, is the fact that there were builders set up right next to the braai area with a zinc house and yo-yo and 2 of the builders spent the night. In all honesty, my immediate feeling I got was that I wasn't going to be safe, so had to get Field Security out to come check. One escapes from the busy city and its noise and to some extent unsafe conditions, only to find exactly the cells in the forest when you come to take a break. I would advise that a 'warning' be set up to point out to the guests that there is currently building construction going on with builders sleeping over. When the above is sorted out and the neighbours' house is finished I would recommend anyone to stay here if they were able to climb the stairs. Very grateful to the owner who dropped in from time to time via WA to assure us that our safety is important and that we should let you know if there are any issues.

Het die kuier geniet en sal die huisie boek sodra bure aanbouings klaar is. Oor die algemeen was ons gelukkig met die huisie. However, ek voel daar moet die volgende genoem word: Trappe na die 2de vlak is baie steil en ouer mense of mense met beserings gaan nie noodwendig heeltyd kan op en af nie. Wat wel nie prakties is nie, is die feit dat die badkamer/toilet op die 2de vlak is en weereens mense met beserings (seer knieë, enkels, rug, heupe, etc.) gaan beslis sukkel. Iets wat wel tydelik is, maar wel 'n groot impak op my gemoed gehad het, is die feit dat daar bouers reg langs die braai area opgestel was met 'n sinkhuis en jojo en 2 van die bouers het oornag. In eerlikheid was my onmiddellike gevoel wat ek gekry het dat ek nie veilig gaan wees nie, en moes dus Field Security uitkry om te kom kyk. Mens vlug van die besige stad en sy geraas en in sekere mate onveilige toestande, net om in die bos wanneer jy blaaskans kom vat, presies die selle te kry. Ek sou aanraai dat dit 'n 'waarskuwing' opgestel word om dit pertinent vir die gaste uit te wys dat daar tans boukonstruksie aan die gang is met bouers wat oorslaap. Wanneer bogenoemde uitgesorteer is en die bure se huis klaar gebou is, sal ek enige iemand aanbeveel om hier te bly indien hulle in staat sou wees om die trappe te klim. Baie dankbaar vir die eienaar wat kort-kort ingeloer het via WA om ons te verseker dat ons veiligheid van belang is en dat ons moet laat weet indien daar enige issues is.

Hi Yolanda. Thanks for the honest feedback. I have already sent LekkeSlaap request pointing out the builders. I also now send visitors a message early to inform them. Sorry about that. I was not aware that they had started, could not point it out at the time. The builder told me that they will be finished at the end of November. It's just a temporary disturbance. I am also currently working on plans to change stairs etc.

Hi Yolanda. Dankie vir die eerlike terugvoer. Ek het reeds LekkeSlaap versoek gestuur wat die bouers uitwys. Ek stuur ook nou vroeëtydig vir besoekers boodskap om hul in te lig. Jammer daaroor. Ek was nie bewus dat hul begin het, kon dit toe nog nie uitwys. Die bouer het my gesê dat hul einde November klaar sal wees. Dis net tydelike steurnis. Ek is ook nou besig met planne om trappe te verander ens.
