53 guests' feedbackWe were in our element the minute we went through the door! Everything just said "welcome back to the bush". We felt at home again! Enjoyed every minute of our stay. The only thing we missed was that we would have preferred an electric kettle.
Thank you very much for the nice rest and silence.
Fantastic forest holiday in a comfortable, clean and well-equipped house. We had a variety of animals and birds on our doorstep and the roar of the lions and chatter of the manatees kept us company around the fire every night. What a lovely week.
Thank you so much for everything. The promised land is a place where you can really enjoy a piece of heaven on earth. The location is amazing, the views, the animals everything was perfect. You really have a gem in Marloth. We will never be able to thank you enough for the extra mile that you walked for us in a very stressful time when our car broke down in Kruger. We will never forget that. You really went above and beyond for us. May God bless you always. We will definitely be back if you will have us. Hopefully without stress this time. Take care, God bless!!
We once again had a very nice stay. Everything you could need was available. Place was clean and tidy. Beautiful wildlife came to say hello every day. It is definitely one of our nicest places to stay. Affordable with everything one could want from the woods. Thank you very much for the hospitality. We will definitely be back for another visit!
It was delicious and a great experience. The Promised land was ideal for us and just what we needed.
Love going to Marloth because it feels like "home".
On arrival the Osprey greeted us with its call and also a stray baboon. Place is well furnished and very well located. The host and wife were very helpful. Think the shower could use some attention. Will definitely go again.
We stayed right next to the KNP fence, very easy access to Krans lookout.
Got a big fright when Wildebees suddenly peeked onto the porch.
Great comfort and the air conditioning was certainly a bonus. Lots of wildlife that came to say hello every day. Place is clean and tidy with everything one needs. Owners followed up why power kept tripping. Wish we could have stayed a day longer but unfortunately we had to go back to work. Will definitely book there again. Only wish one could see the river from the cottage.
Lovely house with everything needed and more. Small swimming pool a winner for very hot weather! Friendly hosts.
Promised land is perfectly located and a real oasis and gem.
A home away from home, but in the bush where you can see all the wonderful animals. Although the pool was cold, it was very welcoming on our very hot days. The braai area provided us with privacy and tranquillity.
We can really recommend the Promise Land, there is a lot of character and love for nature put into the house and everything you need is there.
Beautiful place, right location, lots of animals and wonderful owners. Will definitely visit The Promised Land again. Dave and Mary-Anne are beautiful people.
Nice and spacious. There was ice and wood left. Very nice stay. Will definitely use The Promise Land again.
It was a lovely, unforgettable break. The children had a feast. So nice near the river.
Everything was there that we needed. Quiet and very close to the border fence of the Kruger Park.
This is a great house in a fantastic location. We could have just walked to the Kransrivier lookout every day and with the multitude of animals that visited the house, which often included a herd of wildebeest and zebras, there was no need to drive anywhere. Summer in the Lowveld can be challenging, but during the day we could cool off in the large plunge pool while the air conditioners in the bedrooms ensured a pleasant night's rest. Maryanne and Dave managed the whole process extremely professionally and made us feel very much at home.
It was located right across from the river so daily walks along the river were always a treat. The house is clean, well-kept and well-equipped with all the essentials needed. Just a short walk to the krans lookout, lots of animals came to visit daily and Dave and Maryanne are very accommodating and made our stay very comfortable. Cannot wait to return to this home away from home. The dip pool was very inviting and we lived in it as the heat in the summer months can be very hot. The aircons in the bedrooms were a blessing.
All the house needs is definitely an air conditioner, it was bloody hot and fans don't help! Air conditioning in both rooms and perhaps in the middle (dining room) which may be connected to prepaid electricity so you will have to pay for your enjoyment yourself. Very nice place! Thanks also to Dave for his help and referral to someone to help us with the vehicle!
Will visit there again.
The name of place is appropriate. Everything that is advertised is provided. Had a great time relaxing.
We were only disappointed in the cleanliness of the house inside. It seemed like it had not been cleaned in a while and that only the bedding was changed. Other than that, we really love going to this house as it truly is a home away from home.
It was a cozy treasure and we felt right at home.
Dave supplied wood there was ice in the fridge ─ small things that normally is not expected that made your first experience positive. Very clean with all accessories needed. Very homely and comfortable. Planning my next visit.
Excellent accommodation, very nice and quiet and close to the Crocodile Bridge Gate to the Kruger National Park. Animals came to visit us at home and even fed the warthogs and kudu by hand. Will use The Promised Land again.
Very nice, spacious and extremely well equipped. Friendly and efficient contact with owner. Really nice outside room ─ all in all a great place to stay. Looking into the Kruger Park on the other side of the road!
Die huis was alles wat jy wil hê in die bos. Ons het ongelooflik lekker gekuier en gerus. Die diere kom besoek jou sommer by die voordeur van die huis. Braaigeriewe is nes jy dit in die bos wil hê. Sal beslis weer daarheen gaan. Het ook vir Dave en Maryanne ontmoet, baie aangename mense. Kan die vakansie soos volg opsom: Lekker man, lekker.
Thank you Dave and Maryanne for the warm welcome to your lovely and clean home. We enjoyed our stay and the view onto the Crocodile River.
Magic! Attention to detail. Peace, love, real good old fashioned value for money.
It had been a fantastic week. The house is so clean and tidy and absolutely everything you will need and more. It is perfectly located in the park, and so many animals came to visit us. Thank you very much, see you again soon
We had a lovely stay there, there is everything you need and more in the house. Children enjoyed swimming and the view of the river is heavenly.
Very well located, conveniently equipped. Was a pleasure. We especially enjoyed the small swimming pool during the heat wave.
Had a great time and rested. Look out over the elephants in the river from the front porch. Had wild animals come to say hello at the front door. Will definitely stay there again thank you very much!
Very nice and clean. It feels like you are at your own home, but only in the Bosveld. The Crocodile River is right in front of you. Everything is in the house that one can think of. It just gets a little hot without air conditioning. We would recommend the place to anyone.
Everything is there. Just bring yourself and food. Was 42°C. Missed the air-con! Luckily the pool was there! Amazing view of the river and saw elephants 50 meters from us. The room outside is a winner! Hear all the night sounds.
The house is very neatly furnished with everything, and more, that one could need. The location is ideal and we were entertained and amazed every night by the forest chorus of animal sounds.
We really enjoyed the location of the house near the river and among the trees. It is quiet, peaceful and the outdoor patio and stoep are truly a winner to just sit and relax. House very well furnished with everything needed.
Ongelooflike mooi kothuis in die bos met alles en nog wat. Puik geleë en die diens was fantasties. Ons sal beslis weer gaan kuier in die bos.
Neat, clean and value for money. We will go back for sure.
Your home away from home. Everything is there, just bring your own food and bathroom stuff. Very peaceful and quiet, just very, very hot in summer. I think air conditioning would be a good thing. Will definitely use Dave's house again.
Definitely going back!
The Promised Land is like your home away from home! It is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. The animals that came to "visit" made it extra special. We would definitely recommend it!
Well equpped, and homily. Good location close to the rivier. Nice social areas outside.
We stayed for a week in this beautiful place to stay. It was really nice. Everything you might need is there. Dave and Maryanne were so kind to leave wood for us and make sure everything was tip top. The place is spacious and conveniently located. We had game daily at and around the house. I would recommend the place to everyone and we will be back again. Thanks for all your effort.
The house is perfectly located across the road from the crocodile river with beautiful views. There is a lot of small things at and in the house that contributed to an excellent weekend. I will definitely recommend this house to anyone and hope to be back soon. The owners are very informative, helpful, kind and will go out of their way to assist you. Thanks for sharing The Promised Land with us.
I would definitely recommend "The Promised Land" to nature lovers looking for tranquility and peace. The nature is beautiful, peaceful and dead silent. We had a kudu bull that came to visit every night, he seems to spend the night behind the house. Zebras also came to visit. The house is comfortable and meets everything one might need. It is terribly homely, feels as if it is permanently inhabited or if the people are perhaps just going somewhere soon. Thank you very much for letting us use it, it was a lovely weekend.
Thank you to Seaton's who went out of their way to make us comfortable and feel at home. You have such a wonderful place and thank you for sharing that with us. You'll definitely see us again.
What a very pleasant cremation and perfect place to go and recharge! There was nothing short and the location is ideal! Everything and more was provided that I didn't even expect and we really enjoyed it! I will definitely want to stay in "The Promised Land" again!
Excellent stay, very nice and peaceful, thank you The Promise land for all your efforts, felt like my home, but away from home.
We had fantastic weekend at the promised land. Will visit again!! Everything you need.
