The house offers 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms and can accommodate a maximum of 10 persons. All bedrooms are air-conditioned.
There is a large well-equipped kitchen available with a gas stove, electric oven, large fridge/freezer, microwave, ice maker, dishwasher and all other equipment required for self-catering.

The braai area flows into a large garden with a sparkling pool. Sun loungers are available to enjoy the warm African sun in the private pool area.
The main feature of the lodge is the large upstairs patio with various seating options. This patio offers the best views of the Crocodile River and the Kruger park with its Big 5 in Marloth Park.

Lions are regularly seen following these herds while several hippos have made the river in front of the house their home. Upstairs also features an indoor lounge flowing out onto the patio. This area offers a library and a TV with full DStv channels as well as comfortable couches to take a break from the game viewing.

Guests of Tau Self-catering House can experience open vehicle game drives conducted by an experienced guide in the world-famous Kruger National Park, to observe wildlife from close by. Advance booking is required. Self-drive options can also be done with great ease from the House due to its close proximity to both Malelane and Crocodile Bridge entrance gates to the Kruger Park.
Guests can bring their own mountain bike and enjoy the easy routes along the river banks or into the bush where wild animals can be encountered for an unforgettable experience. A bush walk within the reserve brings guests soul close to nature.
The house is located a mere 60 minutes drive from the Kruger Mpumalanga international airport and approximately 20 minutes from the nearest entrance gate into the world famous Kruger National park at Crocodile Bridge.

41 guests' feedbackFantastic location! House is very well furnished.
The place was just amazing. We had such a good time and we will be going back next year. We have decided to make this a yearly trip, and everything at Tau Self-catering House was just amazing.
Very nice, comfortable and well equipped house. View of the best in Marloth. Can definitely recommend the house to more than one family. Very spacious and different rooms to visit. The daily cleaning services were a very big plus. Nelsie was so helpful and very friendly.
Had a lovely peaceful weekend. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely visit again.
Excellent getaway spot. Very neat and well laid out. Had a great time here.
It was nice, the house was clean and neat. There were animals to see. A lot of space. Just had trouble with the WiFi, it didn't have a lot of signal and we had a little problem with the air conditioners the second night as they were not working, but further there were no problems. It's a lovely house.
Good location, tidy, enough space. Very nice holiday home.
We were a group of 7 and the house was perfect. It was clean and had all the amenities. We saw several animals every day and was a great experience for all of us. The caretaker was friendly and helpful and the house is cleaned every morning. We booked a day trip to Kruger National Park through our home booking as advertised, but will definitely not do it again. The vehicle was not up to standard and the tire was worn. There was no equipment to change a tire and my husband had to jump in to change a tire. Book directly with SAN Parke instead.
We celebrated my 80th birthday at Tau, with all the family. Everyone was so comfortable with the place to sleep, five star, cutlery very good quality, the staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. It was the most wonderful time we were privileged to spend in the beautiful, comfortable home. We will definitely do it again.
The only down side was a huge red ant problem all over the place. We were getting bitten quite a bit. Other then that we will definitely be back.
It was the second visit to Tau Self-catering House and nothing has changed. It is absolutely perfect. Only a small problem with hot water in the main house, but overall excellent service from all the staff.
For my son and his wife and two daughters who live in the USA it was necessary. It is also close to the Wilde Krugertuin where the children see animals that are not possible in the USA.
Very wild seen from the balcony. Well-equipped kitchen and living area.
We were without power for 2 days of our stay and had to struggle with fridges that weren't quite cold and no WiFi. You may not use the generator all day and night. The lady in charge is lovely and tries her best to help. I feel I should be compensated for the inconvenience.
Comfortable, very clean and tidy. Friendly staff, perfectly located. So looking forward to our next vacation there!
Fantastic stay, we wish we could have stayed longer. Accommodation was superb, staff were friendly and helpful, we appreciated the air-con in the bedrooms. Upstairs deck offered great views and we sighted elephant, rhino, hippo, zebra and a number of antelope species. Giraffe roam around the house! We highly recommend this establishment.
We really enjoyed it. The house is beautiful and fully equipped with more than we expected. Very tidy and the owner is very friendly and helpful. Will definitely come again.
Beautiful spacious rooms with bathrooms. Unit is large with plenty of equipment as well as a place to hang out. Lovely lapa and deck view over the Wildlife Park. Elsie and the site staff are very friendly and helpful.
Enough space and space for large group. Nelsie and team's service and help was excellent. View of Crocodile River is bonus.
We were kindly received by Nelsie. Everything was ready and tidy for our arrival. She and the other 2 staff members were always friendly and helpful. Place is well equipped, offers everything and more than required. The view of the Wiltuin is beautiful.
Everyone enjoyed themselves. The pool was clean. Excellent view of the river and managed to see some lions with their catch. The beds are comfortable and clean. We managed to watch some soccer on the Saturday night, which was great.
Thank you very much Abri, we had a great stay, only one concern was that the DB board would overheat and pose a fire hazard, could smell wires burning/melting, would definitely recommend the property to my friends.
Had a very nice weekend. Will definitely use Tau again.
We really enjoyed our stay and a very beautiful view.
Please go to this place, it’s beautiful. Thank you, Abri, for a comfortable home and thank you to Joseph the house keeper for a pleasant stay.
The facilities were very well equipped and the unit was exactly what we were looking for for a weekend getaway with friends.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. A stunning house, very comfortable and good location. We will definitely book this house again. We were well taken care of by Nelsie.
Would recommend the place to everyone.
We were 3 families with our 4 teenagers and 2 little ones and we really enjoyed it. Everyone was properly accommodated and everything was very comfortable.
We just had a problem with the hot water. The gas geysers were problematic and need checking.
Great house at a great location. The house is very good for a big family. We travelled together with another family that was located in the attached apartment. The comfort and cleanliness of this apartment was unfortunately a lot worse than the house.
Only negative point was that on the first night we ran out of gas and could only bath/shower the next morning which was not nice. Cleaning service and assistance was great, overall a very nice stay. Thanks.
Lovely house, big spaces, air-conditioned rooms were great. Great views of the Crocodile River and wildlife from the house.
Totally exceeded our expectations! The staff were fantastic. Location really awesome.
We were 9 people and the house is definitely equipped to accommodate that many people without people being under each other's feet all the time but: 1. The Swimming pool needs attention - it was spotless but the "marbalite" is making bubbles . The waterfall is not working so it definitely needs attention. 2. Refrigerator-freezer must be looked at, the "door seal" is loose and therefore the freezer leaks because the door does not seal properly. 3. The electrical wiring needs to be looked at.
The house was clean and neat. We had more than enough space. We saw hippo and elephant from the house. Only problem is that the fridge wasn't very cold and the power kept going off and we were told it happens often. We had no power from the Friday night till Saturday mid morning and due to that some of our food went off and had to be thrown away. Maybe need to invest in a generator. I would really recommend this place to anyone. I enjoyed my birthday weekend. Thank you to the staff who were very friendly.
Spacious, clean, easy to find, pool, garden and fire all good!
Tau is perfectly located, spacious, clean and has everything you need for a first class self catering bush holiday. It’s our second time here and we’ll definitely be back.
Was a wonderful getaway and soul soothing.
We had a great stay at Tau@Kruger. The staff was most helpful and friendly and the house was excellent and view magnificent. Thank you very much. I would recommend it to anyone and will be back in the future.
Staff very friendly and efficient. Accommodation comfortable and clean. Only problem we had was there was no gas for hot water on first night, had to get the staff to connect a full bottle which was on site. Shower door downstairs, off the passage needs to replaced as water spills onto floor and also needs towel rail to hang towel on. Had a great stay and a great holiday, would recommend them.
