"Our best accommodation in Marloth Park."

We have stayed at several places in Marloth Park, but the last three visits were at Meerkatgat and we are planning the fourth. The reasons for this are all positive, but too many to mention here. Book at Meerkatgat and experience it yourself, you will definitely be satisfied.

"Fantastic."

It was exceptional. The game came up to the house. In the evenings there were nightcaps that brightened the time. The place is modern and has everything needed.

"We had a great time, the animals came to visit us every day."

It was awesome. The view by the river is beautiful.

"Amazing, peaceful and worth it."

We really enjoyed it. The owner is amazing and so helpful. I can see it's her passion. The weekend and definitely the place to stay exceeded our expectations. The house is exactly as in the photos. We will definitely stay here again.

"Delicious."

We had a great time despite the cold weather. The neat pleat offers everything needed and more. The well-placed windows invite the forest in from all corners of the house. Thank you very much for the privilege of staying at your place.

"So cosy and welcoming."

This was one of the best stays I've had in Marloth. Even though you are relatively close to other houses, you still have that feeling of seclusion. The house is clean and beautifully decorated.

"Comfortable and cozy accommodation in a well-equipped unit."

Comfortable and cozy accommodation in a well-equipped unit. Landlady was very helpful and provided good advice. Unit is close to the river with good vantage points to the Kruger National Park.

"Very peaceful environment, close to river! Place is so beautiful, clean, neat."

Very nice! Stunning place, well located, very well equipped! Matilda is so helpful and friendly. Will definitely go again! Thank you! We had a great bike ride!

"We stayed for 8 days and will return again."

Very enjoyable. I will book to stay there again next year. What a peaceful, tranquil environment to stay. The close proximity of the local animals was fantastic. We even had a swim in the lovely little pool.The Olde World decor was so tastefully done, with excellent, functional equipment throughout. Matilda was such a friendly and always helpful hostess. We will recommend, and return, soon.

"- Hidden bushveld paradise -."

The house is nestled privately in the heart of the bush. Modern built with beautiful interior and wooden furniture. Two lovely bathrooms, two bedrooms, and a stunning kitchen and living area with large wall windows. This place gives one a 'home away from home' feel. The swimming pool on a patio setting, together with air conditioning inside, makes it an even more wonderful stay. It is nice to cool down after coming back from a game drive in the Kruger nearby. You get spoiled by the many wildlife sightings within the park: kudus, warthogs, duikers, "Bambi" deer, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, velvet monkeys, bush babies, etc. The walking/4x4 trail next to the Kruger fence, alongside the Crocodile river, is any sunrise & sunset lover's dream! Meerkatgat provides safe parking and a braai area to enjoy those bushfire evenings. A 10/10 recommendation.

"Beautiful neat accommodation."

Fantastic stay! Location is great near the river with lots of animals that come to visit often.

Individual traveller

"Fantasmagories."

I do not have words. Fantastic, breathtaking and soulful. A place to find yourself again.

Individual traveller

"Piece of heaven on earth."

Meerkatgat remains one of my 3 favorite places in the world. The care and detail with which the house has been furnished, testifies to the love for the house. I always rest so well there - wish I could have stayed another week. The old ibex ram and the timid ibex are so beautiful. The warthogs are just damn naughty. Looking forward to visiting again before the end of the year.

"Secure a gem of a spot in the woods!"

Most beautiful place just a few steps away from the most beautiful view of the Kruger National Park. Comfortably furnished, quality furniture and quality linen. We rested well here, bliss for one's soul in the forest.

"Beautiful accommodation in a peaceful setting, a stone's throw from the Krokodil River."

It is a beautiful house with everything that is comfortable that one needs. The house is practical and neatly furnished. We would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to visit the Kruger National Park. Good value for money and 100% better than the accommodation inside the park. We hope to spend the night there again in the future.

"Quiet and private."

We had a very nice stay. The house is very tidy and the host was very friendly and willing to help.

"The stay was really very special with a lot of attention to detail."

We had a wonderful stay, enjoyed the beautiful surroundings and found the whole experience very peaceful.

"The animals are a blessing. All that being said, it's a nice, comfortable place."

Mixed reaction. Could have been different. Little foxes like flashing alarm light in the room, roof that keeps rattling, cameras everywhere, neighbors on your front porch. Had little privacy and quiet. Strict rules to be followed. Otherwise it's a beautiful place with everything you need.

Individual traveller

"It was delicious."

I had a very nice stay. There were many animals around me and I enjoyed it.

"Excellent."

Great, relaxing, quiet, one with nature.

Anonymous Guest

"Most enjoyable stay."

Enjoyable stay peaceful.

"Peaceful getaway."

I would definitely recommend. It's a peaceful getaway. The wild animals eat on your front porch. Matilda kept in touch with us and provided excellent service. What you see on the ad is exactly what you get. The unit is clean and tidy. We will definitely stay there again.

"Really enjoyed it."

Very neat and beautiful place. Will definitely go to Meerkatgat again.

"Quiet weekend in cozy accommodation surrounded by wildlife!"

Meerkatgat offers luxurious accommodation with everything he needs: well-equipped kitchen, tranquility and breathtaking interaction with the animals and nightcaps at dusk. Highly recommended for 4 people.

"Definitely the most pleasant stay we have ever had in Marloth."

Everything is just right and clean and working. Matilda really thinks of anything you might need and stays in touch with you and makes sure that nothing is missing, she sounds like an angry aunt with her rules but she is a sweetheart. Ideally located and the animals that come to visit you are plentiful. Would have loved to stay longer but work commitments didn't allow it.

"Absolutely amazing! Always tranquil and most relaxing! Perfect location."

Amazing location, Matilda is ever so helpful. If you don't feel like going into the KnP, you can always take a lazy morning stroll along the Marloth Park fence along the Crocodile River, so much to see.

"It was an incredible experience. It is a beautiful place in the forest. Well cared for and very tidy. The owner is lovely and often made sure we were happy."

It was an incredible experience. It is a beautiful house and very tidy. The owner is really a caring person who makes sure her guests are taken care of. She is very patient and kind. After she sent things and I asked her again questions that were already in the mail, she answered very nicely and kindly. I will visit there again for sure. The animals were around us and it felt like the wildlife park was on our porch. Amazing is all I can say.

"Beautiful setting and stunning house."

The only negative was that we hadn't been given the arrival information prior to arrival, so we did not know to collect keys at security.

"Well appointed, unique decor, pristine, spotless."

Our host and owner, Matilda, was constantly in touch with every bit of pertinent info and recommendations. The unit was stunning and had unique features and fittings, we had regular visits by kudu, wildebeest, zebra, warthogs, mongoose, and a cute nagapie. Lovely relaxing spot with the Crocodile river less than 200 m away. Awesome to go sit at the fence with a sundowner and spot game in the Kruger Park. Thank you for sharing your 20 year old dream with us. See you soon.

"Very comfortable accommodation and quiet location."

Good location as it is close to the river and walking trails. Great place for a relaxing and peaceful weekend.

"Very beautiful place and haven't seen so many animals in a long time."

Will go again, saw lots of animals.

"We had an amazing weekend with my husband."

We enjoyed our stay. Place was amazing. Thank you.

"Very nice place. Good location."

Will definitely stay there again. Has everything you can think of.

Family with teenagers

"Awesome spot, close to the river."

Very clean, well appointed.

"Excellent."

The stay was amazing, the place was clean and felt like home.

"Was very nice, only loadshedding at night which makes you unable to sleep and air conditioning, but overall it was very nice and a good time."

Very nice place to be peaceful. It's an experience to be able to see all the animals so tame at your home, especially the night monkeys.

"It was an amazing stay. Thanks a lot."

Beautiful and very well-equipped house. We could see, it was built with love. The location is perfect. We saw a lot of bushbabies, also one thick-tailed bushbaby came to us. Fantastic.

"Perfect little getaway."

Beautiful place, beautiful location and lots of wildlife. Will definitely be visiting again.

"Excellent - place where your body and soul can rest."

The owner was involved all the time and, among other things, regularly sent messages about where there was wildlife at that time. It was important to the owner that everything worked perfectly and that we fully enjoyed our time there. House itself is tastefully furnished and has absolutely everything one could need. Durable linen is provided. We really enjoyed our time there and will definitely go again!

"Beautiful soul resting place."

Will visit the place again anytime. Owner made extra effort and dropped off alfalfa at home. It was very special because then a lot of wildlife came to visit and eat on our doorstep. Nagapies were very cute and so was the muskellunge cat. Everything needed was in the unit. Had a great time. See Mathilda again.

"Magnificent accommodation, well-equipped and absolutely clean. Well-situated in the park and a wonderful host who communicates well with lots of up to date sightings etc."

The house has appropriate windows which allow for good viewing from inside and creates synergy with the environment. We were treated by visits from various animals which were spectacular. All expectations were met and we will definitely be back. Very good safety measures are in place that allows for good ventilation and comfort.

"Everything and more than we expected. Will visit again soon."

Was a perfect getaway. House is beautiful and well appointed. Calm atmosphere. Hear the manatees and river running. Game and night monkeys' visit was a great treat. Sad to have to go home.

Individual traveller

"Fantastic place to stay. Would highly recommend Meerkatgat 3341 Seekeo Road."

Meerkatgat is very neat and clean. A lot of effort is made on the part of the owner Matilda to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Would stay here again anytime.

"Quiet, beautiful, nice, love the forest."

So so nice. Already looking forward to going again. One of those places where you have a hard time leaving and just want to stay there. Home away from home.

"Stunning place."

We enjoyed our holes out at Meerkatgat. Neat, luxurious and safe. Except for our lion friends who come to visit from the wildlife park, but that wasn't a problem. There is more than what you need to have a good stay.

"Beautiful place!"

This was our second time at Meerkatgat. We will definitely be back. Mathilda is a fantastic hostess who gave attention to all details to ensure we had the best stay. I love the modern yet rustic feel of the house. Our stay was wonderful.

"Absolutely fantastic."

Comfortable, well equipped. A place in the woods to want to go again and again.

"Weekend getaway."

Always good at Meerkatgat. Clean, tidy and safe accommodation. It is a great treat to sit on the porch and be surprised all the time with different species of wildlife that come to visit regularly.

"Lovely house, lots of animals, and everything you need inside."

Lovely accommodation, the host was wonderful, the only issue we had was the outside heat this time of year, 36C, we will only go to Marloth Park between Late April and end on October again in future when it's not so hot outside.

"Fantastic."

Place is clean and comfortable. Close to river and the animal visitors plenty.

"Nice rest weekend close to home."

The unit is beautifully furnished. Very neat and clean and everything you need. Beautiful nature and animals that come to visit on the porch.

"Will certainly be back again."

Highly recommended as it is a beautiful, cozy place.

"Excellent in every way."

Everything was so perfect, from booking enquiry, communication from owner, Matilda before and during stay. Thank you very much, we had a wonderful stay and will book again at Meerkatgat in the future. Highly recommended bar.

"Special experience."

Have a great time and relax. Communication from Mathilda's side was great. Often heard and seen from where animals could be seen. Upon our arrival, zebras already came to greet us with a lot of other animals that regularly made an appearance. House layout is practical and cleanliness is great. Will definitely want to visit there again. Thank you again, Mathilda.

"Spacious unit with beautiful decor and everything you need for a pleasant visit."

Visit was for 2 nights. Everything was clean and fresh. The place speaks of good taste. Various animals come to visit us.

"Great base to explore."

In a panhandle not on Seekoei Avenue.

"Neat, spacious and well appointed."

We always enjoy the accommodation. Would have liked a little more provision for power outages. Security is average.

"The best bushveld experience ever. Best value for money."

The most beautiful accommodation in terms of luxury yet. Value for money.

"Brilliant. Elegant, very comfortable, neat."

The house is incredibly neat. Feel clean all the time. Very convenient. Will definitely book the stay again. Matilda is always involved with any request. Great work.

"Heaven on earth."

We had a great time at Meerkatgat, the house is spacious and tidy and provides all necessities. Matilda keeps you informed of all the sightings at the river which is just across the road. Hear the hyenas and manatees at night. Braai area is wonderfully sheltered, and close to the house, enough security that makes you feel very safe, animals in dozens that pass right in front of the porch, kudus, impalas, ostriches, mongooses, bushbucks, and of course the warthog family that made their home. on the yard. Was even spoiled with a muskellunge cat and night monkeys. Will definitely use the accommodation again, just feel at home at Meerkatgat.

"Escape from city life to nature."

Escape to nature, but still all the comfort you need and are used to. Very neat and clean accommodation. Everything in place. Could perhaps put a shower stool in showers for pensioners who shower to lift their feet or sit. Can no longer bend down as far towards the feet.

"Food for the soul."

This was now the 4th time we have used this particular house for our week away and will use it again in the future. Plekkie is very comfortable and tidy, great location for walking along the wire. The animals that come to visit are absolutely wonderful. Can highly recommend it. Thank you Matilda for allowing us to visit your place.

"It was an experience to see the wild animals so close to home."

Beautiful tasteful house. Everything clean and tidy. My sister was in her seventh heaven because she could feed the animals all day! We bought 40 kg of wildebeest pellets, 5 kg of carrots, 3 kg of apples and heads of cabbage in Komatipoort and it was too little for the animals, or (maybe for my sister)! Very dry in the area and you just have to watch your coals. Definitely a peaceful place to escape from the city's noise and bustle. Will visit again.

Family with teenagers

"Quiet, clean and perfectly located."

Meerkat was one of the best places we have stayed. Clean, tidy, perfectly located near the river. Matilda really cares about her guests. Thank you very much for the whole week's messages to inform us of lions that are at the river. We were kept informed all the time if there were going to be power outages etc. Thank you for a lovely week. We will definitely visit again.

Individual traveller

"Incredibly beautiful and fantastically furnished. Had such a nice stay. I'm coming again!"

Meerkatgat is so beautifully and luxuriously furnished. The moment I walked in here, I lost a piece of my heart. The animals that came looking for food, especially the solitary kudu and the bushbuck, were special. I hope when I come again later in the year, she will already have a lamb. Thanks for the regular messages to say where there is something interesting. Was great to see lions 2 times in 1 week. I will definitely order alfalfa and food for the animals again - it's not every day that a kudu eats out of your hand. Highlight was the porcupine that came looking for food at night - first time I experienced this in Marloth. Thank you for the use of your beautiful home - I'll see you again before the end of the year.

Family with teenagers

"Ten out of ten for Meerkatgat."

The location of Meerkatgat is excellent, it is close to the river and the wildlife visited us constantly. House was clean and tidy and spacious enough for the 4 of us. Thank you very much Mathilda, we had a wonderful stay.

"Fantastic location, clean, spacious and super comfortable."

We had an abundance of animal visitors while having a braai or just relaxing, we could hear the roar of a lion, the grunt of a hippo as you are staying close to the crocodile river. Matilda is a great host making sure we were comfortable at all times, we will definitely return, hopefully sometime soon.

"Well equipped and maintained unit for luxury stay."

Meerkatgat is well equipped for a very comfortable stay. It is spacious and rounded. The owner kept in touch throughout, but there were no issues to be resolved. It is a lovely place and within easy reach of the Kruger National Park for day visits. The animals that "visit" the house are a delight.

"Beautiful atmosphere, silence for your soul and tasteful accommodation."

Meerkatgat is our other home, it is located close to the Crocodile Bridge gate to the Kruger National Park. There are so many wild animals that come to say hello without being a bother. At dusk, the night baby comes to visit, for whom we always put out a piece of sweet banana. If you want to experience silence with only the sounds of nature, this is for sure a "destination". Mathilda, thank you very much for your hospitality and kindness.

"Comfortable, luxurious Bushveld oasis!"

Meerkatgat exceeded all our expectations! The unit is very luxurious and stylish. Matilda has furnished the place very well and the unit has everything and more that one needs. Perfect location in Marlothpark. Would definitely recommend!

"A wonderful visit in the forest."

We had a really nice stay. The owner Matilda made us feel very welcome. You can see she is putting in a lot of effort. Her place is beautiful and delightfully close to the river. We would really recommend Meerkatgat. And we hope to visit again soon.

"Wonderful!"

We had a really nice stay. The place is beautiful and fully equipped. The animals that come to say hello every now and then are a bonus, just make sure you have enough feed. We would definitely recommend Meerkatgat.

"Perfect little house in the woods, away from the city and noise."

If you are looking for a place to shut down and rest then Meerkatgat is the place. Very neat and perfect. Everything you need is there. Definitely our go-to place in the future. The owner went through everything nicely with us and made herself available to us at any time.

"Incredible place, offered well-deserved rest to our soul."

Meerkatgat is a gem. Will definitely book here again in the future. Everything you need and more. All our expectations were exceeded.

Family with young children

"This is a place I will visit again."

This is a very well planned unit with the two rooms and en-suite bathrooms. Beautiful bathrooms and nice living unit. The only criticism we have is the unit just needs more cooling in the summer. The splash pool is beautiful and delicious. I would highly recommend it. Unforgettable.

Family with teenagers

"Stunning!"

Lovely home for a family. Very helpful hostess! Beautiful surroundings with lots of animals coming by to say hello! Restful! Great cooling in the rooms. Everything is spotless. More than enough amenities! Great outdoor pool! Nice braai facilities. We will definitely come again!

"Great relax."

Everything one needs and more. Nice, neat and clean. Great relaxing in the pool while animals come to visit. Just stayed an extra day. Will definitely go again.

"Had a great time and saw a lot of wildlife."

Will visit place again and would recommend it to anyone.

"Relax, you become part of nature."

The place is clean and very tidy. Lots of animals on your doorstep. Ideal for exploring nature on foot. Rest for your soul!

"Met and exceeded all expectations."

We originally booked prior to Covid and had to cancel our booking like the rest of the world. We had to wait 18 months to rebook and it was worth the wait. The accommodation met all our expectations and as long time Marloth Park owners we had lots. The house was clean had everything we needed and everything worked as it should. Matilda, even though she was away, was always in touch and the sighting updates we received from her on WhatsApp were a great help with tracking lions at the river. We had regular app interaction with Matilda and found her friendly, helpful and great to deal with. We will certainly be revisiting Marloth and, should our party size suit, Meerkatgat will be our first choice. In addition to being everything advertised, the animals were amazing, we ticked all our boxes and loved the close encounters. Thanks Matilda, we look forward to being returning clients.

"Lovely house to stay in, good bushveld break!"

The highlight was the animals whom magically appear out of the bush and welcome you, as to say "hello, welcome".

"The place is very neat, very spacious and well furnished. The owner's service is absolutely the best ever. She really cares about her guests."

Would definitely stay here again for vacation.

"It was great."

The shower is blocked. A stench was coming up the drain and not a dead animal as suggested by the owner. I did give the owner a call to report the blocked shower. She was in the Kruger Park for the day. She did suggest she will find someone and I must stay and wait. Which I said no I was not prepared to do so. We had to use the shower in the spare room.

"The stay for myself and my sister was absolutely delightful!"

The hospitality, location and the environment was just perfect. Loved the house, the modern comforts, functional air conditioners in the heat, the lockable gauze windows, the pool and of course the amount of different animals that visited!

"This is the nicest place to stay. Comfortable, spacious and absolutely in the right place."

It was now the third time we have stayed there and we will definitely be back. This is our chosen place.

"Amazing place to stay. "

Loved it! The house is very modern and all your needs are met. The owner is professional and keeps you updated on new sightings and stuff happening in and around Marloth. The location of the house is perfect considering the many animals we got to see during our stay. There were many animals around the house and the crocodile river fence is 50 m from the house and we were so lucky to a pride of lions spending time in front of the house at the river and could hear them roar at night. Cannot wait to go back!

"5 Star self-care from the top shelves!"

5 Star self-care from the top shelves! Much more than I expected! Painfully neat, clean, hygienic, not a thing out of place. The hostess Mathilda, what can I say? You are the best! Good communication and available at all times! Will I go back? Without a doubt - as soon as possible! I'm going to miss the night monkeys and other animals a lot..

"Beautiful house with everything you need right in the bush."

We had the most fabulous stay at Meerkatgat. The house was well appointed with everything that you need for a comfortable stay. It is well situated near but not on the river. The hostess kept us updated on sightings as well as checking up with us if everything was to our satisfaction. We loved the animals coming to our door. All in all, a wonderful experience in a comfortable and beautiful house.

"Very private and very peaceful."

Place to really relax. Thank you very much.

"The best ever in Marloth Park"

I have stayed at various places in Marloth Park. Meerkatgat was by far the best, not only in terms of value for money, but also location. The exquisite decor and attention to detail was such a pleasure. The owner (Matilda) was a wonderful hostess and was on point with valuable information to make our stay comfortable. Meerkatgat is highly recommended. I will definitely stay there in future.

"Fantastic!"

Where does one begin to describe this "perfect". Mathilda is a great hostess before, during and after the visit. The house's location is excellent, close to the river, but as it is a pipe yard, there is no traffic, wonderfully peaceful. You can just walk down to the river every now and then. As for the interior of the house, it met all our needs. Enough hot water, pressure of water nice and strong. Bed and bedding, slept great. Aircons work decently. All rooms are nice and spacious. Each room also has nice large windows so you don't miss any "visitors" whether you are washing dishes or taking a bath. The braai area and boma are well sheltered from any wind. The kitchen is equipped with everything and more. There is also a gas and electric stove. There are CCTV cameras and an alarm. We always felt safe. Could lock and walk with peace of mind. We would recommend this gem of a place anytime. Just make sure you have enough feed because the "visitors" are many and they are hungry.

"Nice spacious and comfortable place, many animals around the house."

Neat and clean with everything you need! Beautiful place with many animals that come to meet and 100+ meters from the river and Kruger National Park border.

"Fantastic!"

Very comfortable and neat. Close to the wildlife park. We saw many animals passing by the house. Hostess, Matilda, is very nice and goes out of her way to ensure our comfort.

"Great!"

Nice interaction with animals!

"Beautifully decorated and location is ideal."

Beautifully maintained and decorated. Clear communication and instructions from owners. Got to feed kudu and duiker as well as bushbabies. Every need catered for!

"Have a great time and have a great time."

Meerkatgat is a lovely, safe getaway! We had a great time and the splash pool and air conditioning were great. Good communication, even about the latest sightings! Would recommend Meerkatgat anytime.

Individual traveller

"Fantastic and luxurious stay!"

Everything needed is there. Had a great time and rested well! Will definitely go again!

"Quiet and very nice. "

Lovely quiet and peaceful, with just the sounds of the bushveld.

"Really nice stay."

Very nice place. Everything you need is there. Feels like home away from home. Actually just nicer.

"Delivered all that was promised and more! "

Compliments to Matilda for making us feel at home, your house is beautiful and we hope to stay there again.

"Very nice, practical house. Well located and good value for money."

We would definitely recommend the place.

Family with young children

"Very nice."

Comfortable place with everything you need. Near river and many animals came to visit. Matilda always helpful and makes sure you have a good time.

"Absolutely awesome!"

It is absolutely in the right place. Walking distance to the river. You can hear the hippos and the elephants. The place is very comfortably furnished, nothing is lacking. The finishing touches make the place. This was our second visit. Will definitely come again.

"Perfect home, location and amazing value."

We are frequent visitors to Marloth from the USA so have rented several homes there. Usually there is some level of disappointment especially at this price point. Meerkatgat was a very pleasant surprise. Perfectly clean, very well equipped and within a 120 meters from the fence of the Kruger National Park where you can watch herds of elephants drinking at the river, packs of lion scouting their prey or lazing in the sun. Most evenings we would listen to the lions roaring close-by. Occasionally you would hear hippos grunting or hyenas calling - the best of African night life. This we could safely do with open windows as Meerkatgat is equipped with great security screens. Not that it is unique to Meerkatgat, but with near zero light pollution, the night sky was magical with a blizzard of stars. What is unique to Meerkatgat, is its owner that is very responsive and eager to assist with ideas and information! Definitely our go-to place for the future until we get to build our own home there.

"Germ in the bush. "

This property have everything you need to enjoy your stay it’s a beautiful house with great animals around it I have been to a couple of places in Marloth Park and this is one of my favourites. I will definitely book again and Mitilda is very helpful and informative thank you for a great stay.

"An incredibly nice and beautiful place."

It was the very best stay! The house is neat and clean and so beautiful. The owner has put so much effort into updating the animals at the river etc. Will always visit Meerkatgat when we come back to Marlothpark.

"Peace of mind"

Meerkatgat is a gem among the trees and offers you the opportunity to relax again.

"Very pretty, clean, safe and convenient. "

Well located. Very clean and neat. Has all the necessities.

"Neat and convenient."

The unit is very neat and comfortable and the owner is very helpful.

"Thank you, Matilda, your place is amazing!"

Had a great time at Meerkatgat. Beautiful modern house with everything one needs. Matilda was wonderful, until I got a call the night before we checked in to go over all the extra details with me and she kept us updated every day with sightings in the Wildtuin. Amazing to be able to see the night monkeys in the evenings take bananas from the braai area and feed them to goats that come up to the stoep while you sit quietly and listen to all the sounds of the animals in the river. We will definitely visit Meerkatgat again. Thank you, 10 out of 10!

"Comfortable."

Comfortable, tasteful accommodation. Attention is also given to smaller details, e.g. light during Eskom load shedding, gas stove, two-point plug, mosquito repellents, lovely soft towels. Other accommodation is welcome to light a candle at Meerkatgat. Owner in contact with you which makes everything very easy.

"Still the benchmark."

My opinion of Meerkatgat has only improved since we were here last time. We have since stayed at several other places to stay in Marloth and Meerkatgat still stands out as the benchmark for self-catering houses in Marloth. Had a great stay and will definitely come back again.

"Lovely place to stay, communication from owner, very friendly service."

Great affordable holiday spot with good facilities, excellent location and very peaceful and quiet. The stay here was wonderful, we were able to rest wonderfully with the minimum disturbance and good security. Thank you very much and keep up the good work.

"Tranquillity, nature and animal lovers paradise."

We had a great rest during the weekend and enjoyed the animals who came to visit, especially the bush babies! The house has everything you need for a pleasant stay. It is close to the boundary wire where you can walk to see more animals coming down to drink water in the Crocodile River. The evenings were pleasant and fun with company and the sounds of nature and a fire. It's also very reassuring to know the owners are just a call or SMS away.

"An absolute piece of paradise."

An almost prefect getaway from everything. Just a huge pity there is no WiFi available - unfortunately it is sometimes absolutely necessary to communicate with reality even when you are hiding from it.

"Incredibly peaceful and a very nice break."

We had a very nice stay. The house is fantastic and it's nice how the animals come to visit often. Matilda went out of her way to make our time enjoyable. We got updates from time to time about animals along the river. We would definitely stay there again and would recommend the place to anyone.

"Animals came to visit often which makes it worth it."

Nice atmosphere in the forest, animal interaction, safe house.

"A very comfortable and affordable stay with a very helpful landlady who regularly keeps you up to date with information about animal attractions."

Meerkatgat 3341 provides you with everything you need for a comfortable holiday. Spacious rooms and many animals around the house make it an unforgettable experience. Very close to access to the wildlife park and accommodation is much more convenient and cheaper. Will definitely go there again. Many thanks to the owner, Matilda, for her helpfulness, also during the stay.

"Beautiful, well equipped house! The bush babies and kudu were a bonus!"

The bush babies and kudu made our stay! The owner kept giving us info about wild that can be seen! Very pleasant accommodation!

"Wonderful stay, not disappointed, had a great time."

My husband and I had a great time at this house. The owner, Matilda, is a very lovely person, her house is always clean, got to feed the bush baby and see all the lovely wildlife that came to the house. All in all I would definitely recommend this to any of my friends. We had a great time and didn't want to come back home. The bugs screens were a big plus for me. I'd give our stay a 10 out of 10

"Clean, tidy, well equipped and very close to the river."

House is spacious, with everything you need, even for a long stay. Nice boma barbecue. The owner contacted us ahead of time with all the information about accommodation and Marloth. Very handy. During our stay, she kept us up to date with what was to be seen in the river all the time by SMS. Thanks to this we could see beautiful lions. Take binoculars and camera with you.

"Fantastic!"

Accommodation is great. Nice and close to the wire to go for a nice walk. Sit on the porch and the animals come to visit. We enjoyed the nights very much. Will definitely use Meerkatgat again. Compliments to the owners for the great place to live.

"Very nice, all amenities available."

Owner kept us informed of 'sightings' all the time, it helped a lot to see everything. Place was very neat and clean. All facilities available and very well equipped with everything needed.

"Had a very nice stay."

The house was excellent, luxurious with a nice bathtub, and even the bathtub has a view. Had a nice time around the fire and fed the kudu's by hand. The bushbabies that visited us were very cute. Located well next to the river, with a early morning and late afternoon to the river to see the game drinking water. We could clearly hear the hippo's at night and the kudu's were back early that morning for food. The Crocodile Bridge Gate to the Kruger National Park is literally just around the corner and easily accessible, so we went to the Kruger during the day and went to Marloth Park in the evening. Will definitely stay there again and recommend it to other people.

"Good accommodation that is ideally located and a fantastic hostess who keeps you up to date with what happens in the area. "

Meerkatgat is good accommodation that offers everything that you need for a tranquil holiday. The place is located very conveniently close to the Kruger Park and gives you the opportunity to see animals in Marloth Park and in the Kruger Park. It was fantastic to sit on the porch at night and hear the night sounds and watch the stars that you can't see in the city. The hostess, Matilda, was fantastic and communicated with us to ensure that we have all of the information for a great stay. She kept us updated about where we can see animals. She is remarkable and makes you feel comfortable. Thank you Matilda.

"A nice pampering place that makes your stay feel special."

This was one of the nicest places to stay. It is wonderfully spacious with nice finishes and an atmosphere that just makes you feel special. Very well equipped and very tidy. Fine eye for detail. The evening snacks were an absolute treat. On Sunday morning, the whole group of meerkats also came to greet us. We will definitely visit again.

"Excellent accommodation."

The house is modern and comfortable. The owner made us feel very welcome. It is ideally located, very close to the river. Highly recommendable.

"Heaven in the woodland."

The house was very nice and tidy and the owner very helpful. Didn't want to go back home. Will definitely stay at Meerkatgat again.

"The house, the location and surroundings were fantastic."

From our booking to our departure it was an amazing experience. The house is luxurious and has everything one needs. In the evenings we heard the hippos, elephants' trumpeter and hyenas from our porch. We will definitely be back.

"Delightful house with super hostess."

This is a very convenient and most comfortable option for visiting KNP. Matilda goes out of her way to make your stay enjoyable.

"Worth returning to!"

What a perfect little house! It is equipped with everything you could possibly need! It is neat, clean and modern. We loved the open-plan design of the place and all the windows around the house that highlighted the bushveld! We had animals at our doorstep every single day. The owners are friendly and quick to respond to questions and needs.

"Convenient, comfortable, very nice."

We really enjoyed our getaway weekend. Beautiful, comfortable house with everything you need at your disposal. I would recommend Meerkatgat 3341 anytime. Matilda, the owner, very helpful and friendly and makes sure everything is right for visitors.

"Very neat and clean in the heart of the forest with beautiful wildlife!"

Very neat and clean in the heart of the forest. House is fully furnished. Owner has made house very nice inside.

"Comfortable and neat. "

The owner kept us informed of where the animals can be seen and the activities in and around Marloth.

"Incredibly neat place surrounded by silence and nature."

Was at Meerkatgat for a week in December. The time there was amazing. The owner has put a lot of effort into a place that is beautiful and modern. Every morning you are welcomed with kudus that come and eat 1 meter away from you. Warthogs also stopped by regularly along with several goats and not to forget the night owl that came to sit with us every evening. The house is located in the beautiful Marloth Park which is opposite the Kruger Wildlife Park. You are incredibly close to the Crocodile Bridge to go into Kruger. I recommend Meerkatgat to anyone and everyone. Will plan to visit at least one mad a year for sure.

"Very quiet, close to the river, very neat/clean. Everything you need for a special stay."

Very neat setup and outstanding value for money. Upon unlocking the accommodation you could smell the clean. The whole set-up is very well planned and if you pull the curtains away, you simply move the forest into the rooms, not to mention the bathrooms.

"Wonderful place to relax in nature."

I will give Meerkatgat 11/10. All I would like to suggest is a shelter at the braai (for when it's raining). They will surely see me again.

"Beautiful, spacious house. We loved the decor and the amenities."

The house is very tastefully decorated, we really enjoyed our stay.

"Idyllic holiday in a beautiful house."

Our holiday in Meerkatgat was everything we could have asked for. The service was great and the cottage was beautiful and very well equipped. The location of the house so close to the river ensures that you can clearly hear the call of the osprey and other forest sounds. Perfect getaway from the city.

"Fantastic!"

Great accommodation. The house was comfy and had everything we needed, and the wildlife that said hi were so pretty. Highly recommended.

"One word - fantastic!"

Had a lot of fun with the animals and night sounds. Will definitely go back to Meerkathuis again. Night naps were rare. Would love to be able to open the bedroom windows - keys were not provided, also the caretaker lives diagonally behind, past the master bedroom bathroom to somewhere? Should please be addressed! Still a lovely home and atmosphere and would 100% recommend anytime.

Family with young children

"Absolutely superb, value for money and very nicely appointed. 5 star."

I would highly recommend Meerkatgat. The unit is in a very cute location and very private. The unit is very well furnished and luxurious, very nicely maintained and one can see that they take a lot of pride in their place. It has everything one needs and more. The children really enjoyed the weekend and are already begging us to go back again. The animals came to visit us on the stoep in the morning and the children had the opportunity to feed the zebras and warthogs right from the stoep. It is good value for money and we will definitely go again.

"It was very comfortable and beautifully furnished."

See stars.

"Wonderful."

Meerkatgat is a great place to stay and we had so much fun there, we didn't want to come home. The area and the nice silence. The place to live is out of the books, clean and tidy, nice and spacious and everything you need is there.
