Very nice and friendly and safe. Nice barbecue with wood from guest house.
Very nice house with everything you need. Neat and clean.
We had a very nice stay. Thank you very much, and the service was very good. Thank you very much. Will visit again.
We had an amazing stay and will definitely go there again. The jacuzzi is a winner, even if it's raining.
It was lovely to visit Marcuskraal Chalets and we will definitely stay there again.
The farm is so beautiful. You are surrounded by citrus trees and mountains. We took long evening walks admiring nature, and we loved it so much that we booked an extra day.
It was a very pleasant stay as always! Third time going to Marcuskraal Chalets.
Enjoyed our stay, would have liked a loose carpet in the lounge area. The lounge seemed a bit cold.
Very nice visit - nice peaceful atmosphere.
The sink is very small and there are limited plates and cutlery, but the braai area is well sheltered and the accommodation is otherwise very pleasant. The WiFi is not available in all rooms, and the shared space can be fully used by larger groups.
Incredibly nice stay.
Nice stay is an understatement. It was definitely one for the books. The place is a 5 star place. Would definitely go back anytime.
We had a lovely weekend, there are one or two things I wish I had known before we arrived. If it helps, don't go into Citrusdal, what a nightmare. When we arrived at the chalets, the friendly lady recommended that you go to ClanWilliam instead, it is quite a bit further. The Jacuzzi was heavenly in the cool weather, the views from the veranda are out of this world and we were spoiled with aircons in every room. There is wood and ice on the premises, but not a small shop. There was WiFi, but we didn't use it; enjoyed breaking away from our busy phones. They were kind enough to turn on the DStv for us so that we could watch the weekend's sport and everything went smoothly from arrival to departure. Will definitely visit the chalets again, and make a longer trip this time!
Well equipped for a one night stopover on the way north.
My husband and I really enjoyed the time, especially the silence. Will definitely go back again.
Enjoyed the stay. The unit is very close to the neighbours and we could hear the cleaning staff whilst we were sleeping.
Very clean and tidy. Friendly reception. Room with kitchen does not include any cutlery.
Very nice area. The road inside the place needs some work, but the chalets are very neat. There is no access control.
It was awesome, it was great. My wife enjoyed it and so did my two friends. The jacuzzi was great, as was the pool.
It was another nice weekend. Can't wait for next year.
It was wonderful. 10/10.
Everything was wonderful.
We enjoyed our stay and will definitely come again.
Ek beveel Marcuskraal aan enige tyd. Kan nie regtig iets negatief sê nie. Hul kan dalk die wi-fi wagwoord lamineer en in die huisie opsit.
Very neat place at an orange farm. Calm atmosphere. Place effect. Friendly reception. Clean. Comfortable.
Thought it was lovely and the positioning of the chalet suited our requirement perfectly.
Excellent, excellent, excellent. That's all I can say. Was my 1st visit but definitely not my last. Can definitely recommend Marcuskraal.
We were away for our wedding anniversary. It was nice and quiet. Awesome hiking trails. Host and hostess were awesome.
A great place to switch off and just chill between the trees. Peaceful area and very friendly people all around.
On our arrival it is a pleasant surprise to be welcomed like this. Fantastic hospitality and will always recommend.
The chalet was immaculate, the cleanliness was really refreshing. It is spacious, yet cozy and has everything you require. The fully equipped kitchen and indoor and outdoor braai facilities are amazing as you are not limited to catering options for your stay. The surroundings are so tranquil, and the jacuzzi overlooking the orchids was the highlight. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
We will definitely go there again! We love the place.
The people are friendly. There is a great room where you can go get ice and wood and then you just leave some money. It's the perfect getaway if you want to get away from the noise.
The private chalet was very neat, fully equipped! Very nice weekend, it was amazing to watch the stars from the jacuzzi! Safe, very friendly hostess! Will definitely visit again!
The 6-sleeper chalets each had its own 3-bedroom en-suites (would be nice to have keys to each room). Fully furnished kitchen and air-conditioning in all rooms. DStv and Wi-Fi. For the lower-lying chalets, a repeater is definitely needed.
Calm and relaxing stay at Marcuskraal. The owner was welcoming and the chalet had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Wood and ice is available for purchase at the location. The farm was beautiful and pool area. Hot tub heats up quite nicely and having generators during loadshedding was just a bonus. The W-Fi could not be reached from our chalet, but it was not an issue for us.
We had a great time and the Jacuzzi was a wonderful treat. Everything you need is there up to a dishwasher. Even ice and wood are available on site. Very nice place.
The staff were fantastic, the scenery beautiful and the chalet had everything one would need. An absolutely relaxing time was spent there.
Chalet has every amenity you could need. Jacuzzi was warm and ready to use. Wood and ice available. Lovely between the orange trees.
Good quality bed linen, large kitchen and a great location in the orange orchard. Really nice hosts too!
Breathtaking scenery, between the mountains and surrounded by citrus groves.
Was tranquil and quiet and we had privacy from other guests which was great.
We were very well received and the service was outstanding.
Beautiful houses with a beautiful layout. Was advertised that there is a generator, but it only turns on when they want, other times you are without power. Absolutely no mobile signal, and wifi so weak that it only picks up at certain points and as soon as you move, the signal is gone again. No hairdryer, even though there was one listed. Aircon in main bedroom of Chalet 3 does not make it cold. Jacuzzi's heater pump is always on and cannot be controlled. Jacuzzi's light doesn't work either.
The chalet was surrounded by vineyards and mountains giving us a breathtaking view. The aircons in the chalet really helped with the extreme heat we experienced. The host however was not very helpful when we requested his assistance with loud noises on our roof due to birds, and unscheduled electricity cuts. The booking agent, on the other hand, was very helpful and assisted us speedily.
Loved everything about this place. Butnone thing that I will change that there will always be someone at reception area. Otherwise no complains.
Disappointed that the WiFi did not work inside our chalet, we had to be outside to get a weak signal. Funny smell from behind the dishwasher (that also did not work properly).
Everything was very clean and tidy. Amenities were fantastic. Nice farm atmosphere and real friendly people. Service was excellent. Will definitely stay there again.
Friendly hosts. Generators was running during load shedding, especially for the Springbok game. Much appreciated.
Very beautiful nature, very nice place and private.
We liked the quietness. The place was neat. Had everything we needed.
It was an awesome place. Will definitely visit again.
We experienced no load shedding because the generators ensured that we always had power! We and the children really enjoyed the jacuzzi. And we were close to the Cederberg and other big towns in the area. House very spacious with even a dishwasher. Would definitely recommend Marcuskraal.
Very neat, clean and safe.
Friendly staff and nice farm to get away from the city. Jacuzzi was great to relax in while watching the rain fall. At night the stars was out.
It was a lovely break and we could enjoy ourselves in the peaceful atmosphere.
5-star accommodation in nature. Jaccuzi on the porch is a winner. Chalets are equipped with the best of everything. Would definitely recommend Marcuskraal to anyone.
They really went out of their way to make it as comfortable as possible during loadshedding ensuring the lights stay on.
My family and I really enjoyed our time at Marcuskraal and will soon book a weekend there again. Everything was nice and clean and in its place. There were two things that I would like to bring to your attention. The indoor braai in Chalet 3's chain on one side on the right side was broken and it was uncomfortable to braai there and in the master bedroom there were long brown hairs under the bedding. Wasn't that bad but it's also not something you expect after a long day.
Such a lovely place to come visit, so clean and friendly beautiful.
Although the temperature was almost 50°C, we really enjoyed the place and facilities. You sleep in absolute silence and tranquility and startle again. We visited specifically for the hot tub and were able to enjoy it under the stars at night. Most beautiful beautiful! We will definitely return to Marcuskraal again!
Thank you for the warm welcome and friendly service. Definitely coming back!
The place is fantastic. Everything was nice. I would advise anyone to go. You definitely get the value for your money. Except the WiFi messes up terribly.
Everything clean and tidy. High quality bedding. Air conditioning in all rooms. Private jacuzzi on the porch is a winner. Wonderfully relaxing among the orange groves.
The tranquility, silence and peace is all one needs to relax. Marcuskraal gives it!
The Luxury Room was the perfect solution. Only thing we missed, was a sharp kitchen knife to prep breakfast.
We had an amazing experience and will definitely go back.
Warm welcome. Chalets are well equipped with everything you need. The green lawns create tranquility and the swimming pool is a lovely place to hang out on a hot day.
Quiet, serene, wonderful surroundings and a very clean, neat and tidy cottage. What an awesome stay. Thank you for hosting us.
Marcuskraal - no power outages. Restful. Comfortable. Good night's rest. Quiet. Will go again.
Marcuskraal is safely located and in a quiet area away from the main road. The campsite extends right in front of the chalets and shares the swimming pool. The chalet room has a narrow porch if you want to sit outside. The room is nice and spacious with good air conditioning but would be more comfortable with two bedside tables and maybe also a table inside for when you don't sit outside. Something to put a bath bag on in the bathroom is also needed. Kitchen is small but well equipped for an overnight stay. There is a nice lawn and large trees in front of the chalets (the photos only show open ground), but this also means that if it is full, campers can set up camp right in front of your chalet. The WiFi is not strong enough in the room to be useful.
We all have enjoyed our stay.
Had a nice stay. Place is a bit small for what you pay, don't think it's worth the money. But a tour bus arrived, jamming the place. And we had to move our vehicles in front of our house to make room for them. They didn't really give us an option. Feels like they were given preference. We just had to make room for it to fit them. Other people also complained that he was blocking them. Don't think I will stay there again. But at least had a place to sleep.
We were very welcomed by the owners.
Neat, clean, affordable, and peaceful.
This was my 3rd booking at Marcuskraal chaets I even named my teddy Marcus because partner gave it to me on my birthday at Marcuskraal, lol. I know it sounds funny but it's a true story, just had an awesome time every time I go there. Thank you for having us. We even met people from Netherlands their who invited us for a BBQ, lol, was just awesome, thank you.
Very quiet, clean and worth your money.
Very friendly host and hostess. Jacuzzi also put the icing on the cake.
See stars.
Very nice visit and wonderful walk. Think you might just inform guests ahead of time that there is wood and ice for sale. We were a bit hesitant about what we should take with us and what not. Will definitely visit Marcuskraal again!
The chalet is excellently equipped and everything is clean and tidy, bedding included. Sonelda is very helpful and friendly and immediately made us feel at home. We never felt unsafe for a moment.
Really had a great time. It was peaceful and very relaxing. I would recommend this place to anyone just wanting some peace and quiet from the city life. Owner was extremely friendly and very kind.
The whole weekend was very pleasant. The manager helped where he could and it was definitely one for the books we will definitely book again.
It was a very peaceful place to break away from the city. Warm inside the house - it was an alien place.
Great weekend breakaway spot.
Owners are incredibly friendly and accommodating. Very peaceful and overall a very nice place to stay.
Loved the stay! Gem of a location. The quality of the unit was excellent. Loved the warm service received by the owner as well.
Had a great time in this little house between the orange groves and beautiful view of the mountains. Cottage was very clean, well appointed and tastefully furnished. Nice 4x4 route that can be walked for the walkers. Jacuzzi on the veranda is a hit.
Friendly service, great location.
The nature was fantastic and so was the cleanliness. Will definitely visit again.
Very friendly hosts and very tidy.
Loved the private Jacuzzi!
Sonelda and her husband are absolutely top quality. Even just helping with matches is no trouble. They are a winning team as well as a great asset to the business.
Very peaceful stay. Clean and tidy. Very safe.
Very clean, nice place. Friendly people, full kitchen. The very best, safe place.
Recommend to anyone who needs peace and tranquility.
Quiet and good for a getaway.
Had a problem with the Jacuzzi that broke down on our second night, which was a pity. Irrespective, we enjoyed the environment we found ourselves in. Host was friendly and helpful.
Lovely time on the veranda in the jacuzzi with wonderful views.
Me and hubby had an amazing time at Marcuskraal. A relaxing atmosphere away from all the buzz.
It was five star accommodation at three star prices. Perfect stay if you want to get away from everything and everyone. Well equipped chalets with everything one could need, even a dishwasher. The pool and jacuzzi was also a winner. We even had our own guard dog to watch over us at night.
Celebrated my birthday a little differently this year by relaxing alone with my husband at Marcuskraal. Was just what we needed. Thank you!
3rd time here. A quick getaway-from-it-all weekend from Cape Town. I also do the 4,5 hours 4x4 route which is amazing.
Place is very neat, braai area very nice! Too short in chalet: scissors, large coffee mugs and decent kettle. I would recommend the place to anyone for a getaway! Thank you.
Quiet and peaceful, enough walking space. Very good shower and facilities. Professional handling with all facets.
We really enjoyed the cottage. The Jacuzzi was a winner in the cold weather and warms you up quickly! We were not there with a 4x4 vehicle, but we did go for a walk on the farm and it looks like it could be a very nice destination for 4x4 enthusiasts/groups. As someone who is more used to camping, the cottage was 5 star for us!
Terribly beautiful and neat. Very glad there was aircon. Fully equipped. Booked chalet no 1 and got chalet no 3. Feels strange to sleep in a place where the second room in the house is locked as only 2 people check in. DSTV switched off early morning on day of check-out. Jacuzzi should be set cooler, it's terribly hot in Citrusdal and even in the evening the jacuzzi is too hot to use. Not much to do in Citrusdal.
The orange trees and mountains around you are beautiful. Very quiet and peaceful.
This was our 2nd time, and we will definitely go again.
Marcuskraal surprised us with fantastic service, beautiful location and a guest room that is really special. We would definitely recommend them to anyone else who wants to experience the natural beauty of Citrusdal. Thank you very much.
Dit is 'n moet vir elke gesin!
See stars.
The place was neat and clean. When we arrived it was a little confusing, the dogs were a little scary at first, however the jacuzzi was awesome, perfect for a couple getaway. This place will definitely be added to one of my future travel destinations.
Beautiful nature scenery. Chalet was beautiful. The jacuzzi was perfect.
Very tranquil setting, the unit is well equipped and the reception was a very warm and friendly experience, will recommend to anyone.
Very convenient that ice and wood are sold - all facilities were spotless and everyone very friendly and helpful.
Very nice place and very relaxed, nice to rest under the air-cons.
Beautiful accommodation in the orange groves.
Friendly people. Had a great time and very neat and clean. Will definitely see from us again.
Tranquility of farm life, view of mountains and surrounded by citrus trees. A place where you can get away from every day's rush in society.
Enjoyed the pool a lot. Air conditioning in every room was a winner. The stars in the evening fantastic.
The chalet was well furnished, very tidy. We were received very kindly. There are still a few small details that can be paid attention to, for example there were no tables next to the beds in the 2nd bedroom, sharp knives in the kitchen, maybe a salad bowl. It's all detail that can be added with time. Didn't detract from the stay at all. Maybe an arrow by the brown nameplate.
Very very neat chalets, everything you need and more. Weekend was just too short, if I have to sum it all up in a few words: an absolute must. Sonelda is great, thank you very much for the friendly reception.
We will definitely go back.
The 200 km it took me to drive there from Cape Town was worth it. I really enjoyed the privacy, peace and quiet, chalets are very well managed (well done to management team) we appreciated top amenities - clean and crisp. Everything works, Jacuzzi (hot water therapy) was fantastic, especially in the evening under stars. Great a place to go if you want to switch off and get away from office. Definitely will add Marcuskraal Chalets to my list for great holiday destinations.
Clean, neat and beautiful.
Lots of flies and mosquitoes. Take precautions!
This is definitely a return for me...value for money!
We had a fantastic time at Marcuskraal. The place is very clean and so peaceful. Everything we needed was there. Would definitely go back again.
It was an incredibly nice weekend. We relax with the farm dog who comes to say hello every now and then. Marcuskraal definitely see us again!
All that is needed is a fly trap. There are a lot of flies.
Beautiful and organised place.
I was in room no 5 and my children in house no 1. Their house was beautiful and big. I would not recommend my room for a whole weekend. But in my case it was good enough, because I spent most of the time with my children in the house. Place is lovely clean and tidy.
Lovely clean accommodation, 6 sleeper cottage, 3 bedrooms all with en-suite bathrooms. The kids loved in particular the Jacuzzi. Very friendly and well looked after place.
It was everything I dreamed it would be and I am ready for the new term.
Our weekend was one for the books. That nice farm feeling between the orange trees. The wind was not even blowing on Saturday. The farm dog came to visit us. I'll go again. Rest for the soul.
Very beautiful world between the mountains. My wife and I will go again and have also recommended couples of friends to go for a getaway at Marcuskraal.
Very neat chalet with everything you need!
Beautiful, stunning location. Great accommodation and friendly staff, owners etc. Love this place.
All you need is food and drink. Everything else is provided and is immaculately clean. The Jacuzzi, beautiful pool, aircon in every room, dishwasher, DStv, 3 en-suite bedrooms are just some of the features which will see me back there again. The nearest town is 20 kilometers away so try not to forget anything.
It was most definitely relaxing for us, not sure of our neighbour's as we were a bit noisy some nights. I was for the first time there. We had fun, I shared good moments with friend and kids.
Wonderfully relax and rest at Marcuskraal. Chalets have everything you need and more. Children enjoyed the orchards. Great break from the busy city life.
Citrusdal is very hot, but fortunately the chalets are equipped with two air conditioners. Everything was neat and clean and lived up to expectations.
We stayed in a luxury family room (the ones above the camp ground without Jacuzzi). Lovely, spacious and new - and it has good aircon. Had everything we needed, but would have loved some coffee mugs as the cups are more like espresso cups. The kitchen sink is also very small, causing water to overflow onto the kitchen counter, and not located in the best position - too close to the wall, too deep into the counter. But these are minor little things. Lovely pool, but you would be wise to pack your umbrella as there is no shade at pool area. Lovely owners. And wonderful 4x4 route - but thank goodness our Jimny has a diff lock as, without that, we would have been in trouble.
We were kindly received. The accommodation was well equipped and tidy.
Really a nice getaway place - little one enjoyed the Jacuzzi, not too far to drive from Cape Town, nice farm feeling and tranquillity.
One of the best places to rest.
Had a very peaceful few days with the family. Hosts were lovely people who accommodated our needs. Accommodation very well maintained and well equipped. Loved the jacuzzi and the swimming pool! Thank you!
Very impressed with the comfort of the chalet. Didn't feel too welcome on arrival as we were asked if we were in the right place. Would suggest that there be rules regarding noise, especially at night, appears on website. The noise from the visitors next door was a disturbance. Otherwise our stay was good. Jacuzzi was a hit. Children enjoyed it.
We had a nice time. The chalet was neat and comfortable. Just a pity that the one room is locked. The Jacuzzi was a highlight.
The smell of orange blossoms wakes you up in the morning and later you gaze out over the beautiful orchards while drinking a glass of champagne in the Jacuzzi. The place is neat and modern and no noisy neighbours to speak of. The photos are not a match of the true image. 5 star quality here.
My kids loved the open air, and it was just so peaceful.
Very nice place, neat, modern and quiet area. Very private didn't really see anyone. The Jacuzzi was very nice. You can literally just take your clothes and food and rest. I just wanted a little more information, eg. Wi-Fi password on arrival, how does the sliding door lock, the lights, when the power goes off and the heat of the Jacuzzi.
It was a very nice and peaceful weekend. Really enjoyed the Jacuzzi. I would say overall the chalet is very modern and tidy inside and would refer anyone to it. All that was a drawback was that the toilet seat was not on the toilet. It was broken and lying on one side. Furthermore, it was a very nice weekend at Marcuskraal.
Place to go to admire nature. Nice to relax and switch off, of course the Jacuzzi is the highlight (fire outside, stars above and in a hot Jacuzzi). Boy of almost 3 had fun playing outside without worrying about vehicles. Maybe just bring some security to the house like security gate at sliding door and maybe burglar bars at windows, because we can't be too careful anymore today. We really enjoyed our time as a family. Will go again.
Friendly owners and chalets clean and tidy. The kids had a blast and will definitely be going back.
Lovely, peaceful place to relax and unwind.
Was very pretty, peaceful and neat. Will definitely go back.
Marcuskraal Chalets met our expectations. Clean, tidy and fully equipped. We will use their services again. Owners were very hospitable and provided excellent service.
The best weekend ever. The people are very friendly and helpful. Everything you need is available in the chalet. Ice and wood is available at a low rate and not to speak about the Jacuzzi that topped the weekend. Will definitely go back and recommend this place to any one who wants a weekend break from the city life.
Awesome place. The people are so friendly and the houses are so beautiful and luxurious. I would recommend it anytime to anyone who just wants to go and relax.
It's just what my family and I needed. The house with Jacuzzi was perfect, it has everything you need. The atmosphere with the citrus trees makes everything calm around you. Will definitely visit again, but this time longer, because a weekend is too soon.
Very calm. Good amenities. Painfully neat. Owners very friendly. Tarred road to the farm. The farm itself's road is also good. The owner can provide at least one bag of wood for the first night as the accommodation is quite expensive.
It was wonderfully relaxing - will definitely go there again.
Had an awesome time. Definitely a place to visit if you are in the Citrusdal region.
The cottages are very well equipped. Tranquility of nature is something to appreciate. The destination is perfect for any age.
Nice to have a quiet time with family, get the feeling of farm life, and feel safe.
This place did not disappoint. Would 100% go back and have already recommended it to family and friends.
Jacuzzi was 'n wenner. Tops.
The owners were very friendly. The Chalets are amazing, everything we needed. The air conditioning and Jacuzzi was a winner. The dog that came to visit every now and then was terribly cute. If there is one thing that made us feel a bit uncomfortable it was the front door that could not close properly, but we felt quite safe.
Definitely value for money. Already recommended to friends and family. Very neat and relaxing. You deserve 4 stars, not 3!
Indeed a great getaway and awesome retreat. Very neat and clean and definitely a place to return to. Away from the city and all the craziness. Nature at its best!
See grading.
We were 2 couples, so the 3rd bedroom was locked, which I found strange. We were asked by the owner to speak Afrikaans and I'm English speaking. We were told not to throw towels over shower glass as it might break. After a long drive all we wanted to do was relax with a drink before we unpacked, however the owner wanted to take us through the house, opening every cupboard to explain what was in them as if we did not know what are cups, glasses, plates etc.
It is definitely a nice place to rest. Of course for people who love walking or cycling it will be a festival. I would easily recommend it.
Good day, my husband and I spent our 5th wedding anniversary at Marcuskraal Chalets this past weekend and it was so amazing. The chalet is very well maintained, clean and modern. The view is spectacular and the general setting is awesome. We will definitely return and recommend this place to all our friends and family. Thank you to the lovely couple running the place, they were very helpful and friendly. Looking forward to returning.
What a beautiful accommodation with open windows and all the luxuries needed. Had a lovely time, thank you. Having our braai cleaned for much appreciated.
The accommodation is very neat and beautifully clean, there is enough space for children to play and our 2 year old enjoyed the orange groves and sand very much. The host and his family are very friendly and we were warmly received. The Jacuzzi is a great treat and the view together with a barbecue fire will ensure that you return home stress-free and rested.
Everything was neat and clean. Everything one could need has really been thought of. You really only need to take clothes and food. Beds sleep great! Beautiful view and lovely privacy.
Dit was baie lekker sal beslis weer terug kom.
Beautiful, neat accommodation. Everything that you need is there. It is also convenient that you can buy ice and wood there. The Jacuzzi is also nice for the colder evenings.
A perfect weekend retreat only 2 hours away from CT.
Just want to have more play facilities for the kids, but otherwise everything is good.
What a perfect place to get away from it all for a weekend. Close enough to Cape Town for a quick break away, but still far enough away to feel like you are in another world. You can spend some time relaxing in the hot tub over looking the orchard, while the kids play outside or, for the more adventurous, you can try out the 4x4 course or just enjoy walking or running on the farm. It's perfect for both the hot summer as well as the cold winter months. With both an indoor as well as an outdoor braai and aircon in each bedroom as well as the spacious living area. In addition, each bedroom is en-suite, which was an added bonus! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to get away from it all. Be that as a couple, as a family, or as a group of friends. I am already looking to see when we can go back!
We enjoyed the 4 days tremendously. The house exceeded our expectations. The swimming pool was lovely to cool off in.
Nestled between the picturesque mountains and gorgeous orange groves, this place is truly away from the maddening crowd. Enjoy soaking in the jacuzzi while the friendly farm dogs and cows amble about. This unit has everything you need for a lovely stay - including a dishwasher, an indoor braai/fireplace, an outside fireplace, swimming pool, and of course the toasting jacuzzi. It's well worth a visit. The only problem is that you might not want to leave!
See stars.
Stayed in one of the houses which is very well equipped. It was a very peaceful farm, felt close to nature with all the modern facilities needed. Definitely a place to recharge the batteries. Will definitely go back again. This time for longer.
The aircon is a must and it's very comfortable. The Jacuzzi is warm water though so during the summer you can only use it early morning or late in the evening. There is luckily a cold swimming pool as well, but the road is full of thorns. Literally, big ones that stick right through a flip flop. If we knew that beforehand we would have taken with better shoes. Flies and mosquitoes are in abundance, but you have to expect that from a farm. The dishwasher is very convenient, the kitchen is well laid out, with all the necessary equipment, you can work in the kitchen and look out and chat while making food. Ice and wood are available. Thank you for a lovely weekend.
Stunning, brand new chalet! It was amazing to have a Jacuzzi and dishwasher! Central location to explore Clanwilliam.
I really enjoyed my stay. The Jacuzzi was great. I went for walks and it was safe. Krisjan is a very friendly host. I enjoyed it.
A gem hidden in the tranquil setting of the orange orchards of Citrusdal.
My husband and I booked two nights for our honeymoon. We really enjoyed it and will definitely go back. The accommodation is very well equipped, neat and the owners are very friendly and helpful. The Jacuzzi was a big bonus! Thank you, we cannot wait to visit again. Will definitely recommend this place!
I can advise anyone who is interested to rest at Marcuskraal Chalets. The chalets are particularly well equipped (air conditioning, dishwasher, Jacuzzi, stove and oven, fridge-freezer, microwave oven, indoor and outdoor barbecue, all 3 rooms en suite, DStv, flat screen television etc.). The kitchen equipment is also of a very high quality compared to other similar accommodation where we have stayed. The layout of the chalet is also very practical and the view is extremely beautiful. The management/owner of the holiday resort is very friendly and helpful. Although we didn't camp, I also have to compliment the campground. It is very clean and well maintained, with green lawns. The conference/function hall is also of a very high quality. We came back extremely well rested after the 5 days at Marcuskraal.
Stunning venue, can't wait for our next trip! Definitely a hidden gem only a few hours outside Cape Town.
Incredible weekend with my fiancé. Perfect weather for a winter's month. The view over the mountains are really something fantastic. To be able to sit in the Jacuzzi and enjoy the starry skies was wonderful and just as special. Would really have liked to spend a few more nights there. The chalet is modern and neat. Everything might need is there. Krisjan is an old school friend and we had a lovely chat. It's funny how many places you can run into a man from Drostdy! Marcuskraal will definitely see me again!
It was a wonderful chalet to spend the weekend in. Wish we could have stayed longer.
Marcuskraal is one of our destinations that surprised us the most. The house is fully equipped, the reception and communication were friendly and professional. Thank you very much for the hospitality and service!
Our visit at Marcuskraal was exactly what we had in mind. Rest, rest and rest before our baby comes! The air conditioning was a saving grace in the heat and of course also the Jacuzzi. The chalet has everything you need to relax. Krisjan's service is great. We had a problem with the heat of the Jacuzzi and Krisjan was there within minutes to help us. We will definitely visit Marcuskraal again.
Very well equipped. Beautiful location. Good value for money.
We will definitely return. The chalet is well equipped. The air conditioning in the summer is an absolute bonus and the Jacuzzi was great fun. The pool and play area kept the children busy for hours. They also enjoyed walking around the orchard in front of the chalet. We stayed 5 nights and didn't want to leave when it was time to leave. The availability of a second, similar chalet also makes it ideal for two families with children to holiday together or break away. We went to see bushman drawings in the Sederberge and also drove the dirt roads and passes around the farm and enjoyed the scenery.
Amazing stay, enjoyed the warm weather and swimming pool. Everything you need! So relaxed.
We had a great time at Marcuskraal! We and the children relaxed like we haven't in a long time. The host is very helpful and friendly.
Friendly reception, extremely neat and well equipped unit. A modern oasis so close to nature.
Lovely, modern chalet with all the necessary essentials for a most comfortable stay.
Place very clean and has everything you need. Nice and quiet and away from the city! Would recommend to anyone.
Very neat and clean accommodation in a beautiful part of our country. We really enjoyed the Jacuzzi and the chalet is very well equipped. Very private!
Was hoping for more silence though. Normal farm operations plus a tour group arriving on the second day changed that. N7 is also close by - you can hear the big trucks passing by.
We spent a weekend at the chalet and had a very relaxing time there! Very peaceful and the Jacuzzi was an added bonus. Would recommend!
The accommodation was great, as was the service we received. The facilities were excellent and we had a great time as a family and recharged our batteries well for the new year. We would recommend Marcuskraal anytime. Upon arrival, everything was already neat, clean and ready for us to move in. Our hostess was very friendly and had a wealth of knowledge about the surrounding areas.
Very nice place! Will definitely recommend it to others.
Very beautiful and delicious. Would stay there again anytime!
The accommodation is top class, very tidy. We were able to relax wonderfully in nature with nice hiking trails.
We enjoyed our stay at Marcuskraal and would certainly visit again. The chalet was spot on and catered for our needs.
Marcuskraal is very neat, clean and very well equipped. We had a great time relaxing and enjoying nature. The jacuzzi in the evenings after a braai was very nice.
Will recommend to friends!

Marcuskraal Chalet is about 20 km from Citrusdal and 2 hours from Cape Town. This location makes Marcuskraal ideal for weekend visitors in search of refuge from the city but who do not want to spend a significant part of the weekend behind the wheel. It is also ideal for travellers on the Cape to Namibia route. We are only 1.5 km from the N7 and a tar road leads from the N7 to the farm.
