57 guests' feedbackIt was very nice. Peaceful and quiet. The animals were great to feed.
Lovely stay with excellent location.
We spent the week at Marloth Bush Retreat and asked if we could check in early as we are about 900 meters from them and had to check out at 10h00. The place was ready, neat and clean. The house had all the necessary things that one needs to have a good time. The pool was spotless, and the garden looked wonderful. We had an incredible number of animals that came to visit us, day and night. I would recommend people who would like to have a peaceful, very luxurious holiday/weekend to contact them. He is also a cook, and makes his own pizzas from his home, right next to the holiday home. I will definitely visit them again. Thank you very much for the kindness and assistance right through our stay.
Just the most perfect place to go and rest your soul amongst nature. Hosts were just lovely and the accommodation perfect for 2 or 20 people. Definitely a place we will return to.
Had a great stay and really enjoyed it. We saw many animals that came to the house by themselves. Will definitely stay here again.
Very calm. 31 nights felt like a week. Many animals fed and good food at the restaurant on our front porch.
We really enjoyed our stay, especially having the animals at our doorstep.
This was our 4th visit there. Always nice. Unity has everything one needs. Quiet and private. Close to everything. Plus you can order food at a good price. Spoiled us with 2 delicious dinners. So many animals moving around there. Would recommend everyone to visit there.
Very good stay, many thanks to Morné for all the effort.
We were kindly received by Mornè. Everything was clean and tidy. Many animals came to visit, including warthogs, kudus, bushbucks, blue wildebeest, etc. We rested wonderfully for the few days and had a great time staying at Marloth Bush Retreat. Thank you for your kindness and hospitality. It was so fun! The time just passed too quickly.
Everything about the place was just so awesome and everything we needed was there. The pool was neat and clean, so we could enjoy ourselves. We will go back again and again. This will be our new home in Marloth. Greetings, Francois & Yolande.
Friendly service upon arrival.
As my first time visiting Marloth Park, I genuinely enjoyed my stay @ Marloth Bush Retreat. Super friendly and helpful host, we will definitely see you again!
It was a nice break from the city. People very friendly, nice environment.
The place makes you feel like you are literally in the woods. Morné is very hospitable and made sure everything was in order. Neat, safe, clean and quiet. Close enough to the shops. Divers, ibex, zebras, kudus, impalas and many pigs came to visit! Can definitely recommend the place and will use the facility again. Marloth Bush Retreat is value for money.
We enjoyed the stay very much. Received very kindly and there is absolutely nothing too short. Will definitely visit again. The house is wonderfully laid out and likes the 2 separate guest rooms on the outside with all amenities needed. This is a must if you want a great stay in Marloth.
We were reminded in advance of our reservation and received a park map with contact number via sms. We were kindly received on arrival. It was beautifully clean and all the facilities were in working order.
It is a very nice place that is well equipped. Very clean and tidy. Ideal for large families. Animals roam freely around the house. Upon request, the owner served us a delicious meal on the front porch that was out of the books. Will recommend everyone to visit the place. One of the best.
As always we had a wonderful stay. Very quiet and private with lots of animals that come to visit. Close to main road and restaurant.
Lovely bird music.
Many thanks to Morne who made our visit so pleasant through his hospitality and helpfulness. It was a privilege to be able to vacation like this. The meal served on our last night was truly out of the books. Morne really treated us. Thank you very much Genie and Morne for allowing us to use your place. You will definitely see us again. Blessings to you.
The house is in walking distance to the shops and the Giraffe Pub is also walking distance. The house itself has everything you need. The bush babies are fantastic.
Morne and Genie, you 2 are a wonderful host/hostess. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your gem Marloth Bush Retreat. We had such a nice stay. The place has everything you will need and is beautiful. I would recommend any person/s to stay there. If you can't find peace and quiet there in the forest, you will have to look far for such a peaceful place. Thanks again, it was rest for our souls in Marloth Bush Retreat.
Marloth Bush Retreat is a gem in the middle of the bush. The large splash pool was a relief in the summer heat. The house is large and neatly furnished. The bathrooms are extremely modern and spacious. The owner welcomed us kindly and explained all rules and regulations nicely. Although the accommodation was located right next to the owners' apartment, it didn't bother us at all. Another advantage is that the accommodation can also accommodate up to 8 people. We would only have liked a firepit spot, to be able to watch the bush TV, although there are good braai facilities.
All good - unfortunately not serviced.
It is a beautiful place. Well equipped with everything one needs. Many animals that visit there. Very calm and quiet. The owner was also very helpful and very nice. It is ideal for families. Recommend the place.
Big. Well equipped. Nice. Roomy. Stayed two days, but no hot water for the 2 nights.
Great hosts, great place! Made us feel so welcome and like we were friends for years, absolutely value for money and would return in a heartbeat.
Friendly host and hostess. It was very hot and we just cooled off in the splash pool. Saw many animals. Zebras, mongoose, divers and the night monkey. Especially the little warthogs were very cute and the kudus came around often. We were lucky to see a large mane on the other side of the river and herds of elephants. Unit has everything needed. No complaints.
If you're looking for the peacefulness of nature around you and you just want to rest, it's the ideal place to book.
Please send agents to places that advertise. This is the second and last time we rent through places. Weak! I threw my money into the water.
Genie was a great host. House is nice and neat, very quiet with many animals that come to visit. Nice pool for the hot days, will definitely stay there again.
The hospitality and privacy was so nice. Definitely very nice if parents want privacy from children. Clean, tidy and exactly what we needed. There were warthogs, goats and monkeys which made our stay so interesting and cool photos.
Very relaxing, good spot, clean and comfortable.
Quiet, neat place, variety of birds and animals seen. Climate in the Bosveld is a bonus.
Wonderfully quiet in nature.
Beautiful place with the best atmosphere. Best place to go if you enjoy nature and outdoors. Will definitely visit again.
We really enjoyed our stay at Marloth Bush Retreat, and will stay there again in the future.
Genie and her son went out of their way to make our stay as enjoyable as possible! I would recommend Marloth Bush Retreat anytime and will definitely go there again in the future!
It was a very nice weekend, thank you. The roads in the area are decent, but could be improved for regular vehicles.
Excellent value for money. The unit is adequately equipped with everything one needs for a peaceful getaway in nature. The amount of wildlife in and near the unit was more than expected with a peaceful outdoor area, boma and pool.
Firstly, the shower on the first floor's water leaked right through to the bottom bathroom. There was no casserole in the kitchen, some of the fork's prongs were bent. The place can accommodate 8 people, but most of the utensils does not make provision for 8 people. The towels smelled off. The Braai-facilities are not much better, the braai grid hangs from a chain and it is very unstable. The fact that the braai facilities isn't under a roof is another big problem, because you have no shelter against the rain, if it were to rain. Prospective guests are asked to bring their own wash and drying cloths, which we did, but the one drying cloth they had there looked more like a floor cloth.
The house has two rooms outside that do not form part of the house. Only one room has a double bed. The place is very cramped and if it rains, eight people cannot fit in the house with only 3 chairs. House is about 3 meters from the owner's house. So no privacy.
Very nice and well located.
No water, had to flush toilets with swimming pool water.
My husband and I spent two nights at Marloth Bush Retreat, Genie was welcoming and friendly, the house was clean and well equipped but most importantly our experience with the animals was amazing and we recommend Marloth Bush Retreat to everyone.
We will make use of Bush Retreat again. Friendly staff.
A very pleasant, peaceful and quiet break from busy daily life. It was so nice to be so close to the wild animals. Can recommend to anyone who enjoys nature.
We will definitely make use of your facility again with our children.
Very calm. It feels like you are in the Wild Garden itself. Really enjoyed the forest and animals. Accommodation was ideal for us.
A lovely retreat within Marloth Park.
Recommended for a quiet get-a-way.
Hospitality made us feel at home from the first moment. Clean and comfortable apartment. Close to nature without any unnecessary noise.
I will recommend it to my family and friends.
Loved our stay. We had a great time.
The unit is comfortable with all equipment that may be required for a nice, relaxed stay in nature. Enjoy the animals and birds, there are also night monkeys but we didn't see them. Remember this is the Lowveld, so make provision to take mosquito repellent with you.
