6 guests' feedbackFransis manages Maroelani excellently. As a vegetarian, I was no problem for their kitchen. They go out of their way to make you happy.
Maroelani is now our favorite forest getaway spot. Francis and her team are so hospitable. Ideal place for families. Thank you, it was a lovely weekend. We are very much looking forward to our next visit.
Francis and her team make you feel like family and no request is too much trouble. Fantastic food and accommodation is luxurious.
Most beautiful lodge, friendly staff, delicious food. Will definitely stay there again.
The Bush Villa is next door to the workers accommodation, this literally destroys any sense of privacy. On arrival, no information regarding house rules, activities etc. , were shared with us,. No hosekeeping was povided and only initial firewood. The hot/cold water mixer taps in the showers did not work - something wrong with the plumbing. WIFI had intermitent and very weak internet connection.
Had a very enjoyable time.
