A wonderful experience to live among the animals. We have had a lot of visitors. The house is equipped with everything needed and the location is perfect!
Very happy that you enjoyed your visit.
Hierdie is een van die lekkerste plekkies om te bly in Marloth.
Die ligging van die huis is onverbeterlik alhoewel die verkeer reg voor die huis soms erg besig was as gevolg van die uitkykpunt. Die huis is gemaklik en is toegerus met alles wat jy moontlik kan benodig. Ons het heerlik gebly. Die enigste negatiewe was dat daar geen beskerming vir jou voertuig is teen die elemente nie want daar is geen onderdak parkering nie. Die beligting in die huis kort ook aandag veral in die kombuis en sitkamer. Ek beveel die plek definitief aan en sal self weer enige tyd daar gaan bly.

Stil, rustig en baie lekker!
Die eenheid is goed toegerus met alles wat jy nodig het om die verblyf gemaklik te maak. Ek het nie nodig gehad om enige iets ekstra te gaan koop nie, daar was selfs capsules vir die skottelgoedwasser. Kamers is skoon met die lekkerste handdoeke. Muskiete het nie gepla nie en die apies het hulle ook goed gedra. Al wat gepla het was miere, maar ons weet miere is orals. Daar was nie 'n besem in die eenheid nie en ook nie ekstra swart vullissakke nie. Andersins was dit baie lekker en definitief die moeite werd.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bush Cottage on Seekoei Road, and the house was wonderfully clean inside with nothing lacking.
Bush cottage is perfectly situated and was wonderfully clean inside when we arrived for our visit. The braai area and fire pit were not clean. We loved the visits by the kudu, zebra, warthog, impala, and wildebeest.
Thank you for your lovely review after a bit of a rocky start!
I have passed your issue with the braai-area to housekeeping.

Pleasant stay except for cleanliness of house. Did not use upstairs bedroom as it was dusty.
The house ideally located at about 75 metres from the river fence. One draw back was the lack of TV services. The house has a family of rats as occupants.

Really a very nice place. Wonderful location - you are just a few metre from the KNP fence! Everything was neat and nothing was missing. Highly recommended.
Heerlike blyplek met alles wat jy nodig het.
Dit was voorwaar 'n baie lekker plek. Ligging is wonderlik - jy is letterlik 'n paar meter van die Krugerwildtuin se draad. Alles was netjies in die plek en ons het niks gekort nie. Ek sal hierdie plek aan almal aanbeveel.

The house's location is good with a nice view of the river even though the road in front of the house is quite busy. On request the owner put out some game pellets which brought the animals close to us and that was very nice. Unfortunately there was no light at the braai so it was difficult to have a braai after sundown. The furniture in the sitting room was incredibly uncomfortable. Our DStv card is connected to our decoder so it didn't work on their decoder. A bonus was that there was a dishwasher but the kettle didn't work all the time. The house ...

Our DStv card is connected to our decoder so it didn't work on their decoder. A bonus was that there was a dishwasher but the kettle didn't work all the time. The house can accommodate 8 people but even for just 3 people it was a little cramped in the sitting room area and there is only 1 bathroom.
Die huis se ligging is goed met 'n lekker uitsig oor die rivier alhoewel die pad voor die huis nogal besig is. Ons het op aanvraag van die eienaar "game pellets" gestrooi wat die diere tot naby ons gebring het wat baie lekker was. Ongelukkig is daar geen lig by die braai nie, so dit was moeilik om na son-onder te braai. Die meubels in die sitkamer was ongelooflik ongemaklik. Ons DStv-kaart is gekoppel aan ons dekodeerder so het nie gewerk op hul dekodeerder nie. 'n Bonus was dat daar 'n skottelgoedwasser is, maar die ketel het nie aldag gewerk nie. ...

Die huis kan 8 akkommodeer maar was selfs vir 3 mense effe knap in die sitkamer-gedeelte en slegs 1 badkamer.

Very good location, right against the river.
Even though the house is beautiful on the outside, and has a very good location, we were very disappointed in the lounge facilities. The couch and chairs in the lounge are from 1910! Antiques are pretty, but these couches were in a terrible state. I would not recommend older people to stay here, they will literally have to roll off the couches. You cannot simply get up from the couhces as they are too low against the floor. It is more of a hammock against the floor than a couch/chair. Sorry, but really now! The camp chairs for outside at the braai ...

The camp chairs for outside at the braai area is a good idea, but some of them are starting to tear and you get scared when sitting on them. Other than that, the facilities were neat. I will go again given that the couch situation is sorted out.
Baie goeie ligging, reg op die rivier.
Alhoewel die huis pragtig is van buite en 'n baie goeie ligging het was ons baie teleurgesteld met die sitkamer geriewe. Die banke en stoele in die sitkamer dateer uit 1910! Antiek is mooi, maar hierdie banke is van uiters swak gehalte. Mens sal glad nie ouer mense aanbeveel om hier te bly nie - hulle sal letterlik uit die banke moet rol! Mens kan net nie van die banke af opstaan nie, so laag is dit teen die vloer - dis meer van 'n hangmat teen die vloer affêre as stoele/banke. Nee, regtig! Die kampstoele vir buite by braai, is 'n goeie idee maar ...

Ek sal weer gaan mits die sitplek situasie uitgesorteer word.

Rêrig 'n paradys in die wildernis.
Huis was skoon en alles in sy plek. Ten spyte van die droogte het heelwat diere om die huis kom kuier. Onder andere sebra, kameelperde en verskeie bokke. Oorkant die rivier was olifante, krokodille en Kaapse buffels gereelde besoekers. Die stilte is onoortreflik end die geluid van die seekoeie in die nag is iets om te beleef. Joan en haar man is besondere mense wat altyd beskikbaar was en niks is te veel moeite vir hulle nie. My kinders was ook in Marloth in 'n ander woning, maar sweer Bush Cottage sal hul toekomstige keuse wees. Welgedaan aan Birgitta ...

Dankie ook aan haar vir die verbeterings wat aangebring is. Ek sien uit na talle toekomstige besoeke.
Thank you so much for your very kind review. We appreciate the feedback.

Net te kort maar baie lekker.
Huis is baie goed toegerus en die ligging is perfek. Jy kan op jou stoel in die huis sit en uitkyk oor die rivier. Diere kom draai elke aand. Jy stap omtrent 50 m rivier toe.
Thank you for your kind review, Tokkie.
I see that we lost points on Customer Service and Cleanliness. Do you have any suggestions how we can improve our service in these areas?
Jeanine F - Dec 2015
Baie lekker plek, net jammer dat die eienaar nooit die agente ingelig het van ons bespreking nie.
Baie mooi plek. Fantastiese ligging. Verseker waarde vir geld. Al wat fout was is dat die eienaar nooit die agente in Marloth laat weet het van ons bespreking nie. Ons moes self skoonmaak, beddens opmaak toe ons daar aankom. Maar darem het alles daarna lekker geraak. Vra maar net dat jul Dave se nommer soek om seker te maak van jul bespreking.
Schane D - Oct 2015
Wat 'n lieflike plek.
Ek sal Bush Cottage vir enige iemand aanbeveel. Modern en gemaklik. Ons kon op die stoep sit en kyk vir die diere in die wildtuin.
Thank you for your lovely review. Our family loves this little piece of Africa and I am delighted that you have shared our great experience.
Sandra V - Oct 2015
Dit was die wonderlikste ervaring met die diere wat rondloop in die park en tot by jou huis kom.
Thank you for your great review. I am very happy to see that you enjoyed our Marloth cottage as much as our family does. It is a very special place.
Francis A - Oct 2015
Huis was netjies, toegerus soos gesê en perfek geleë.
Ons het 'n fantastiese naweek gehad by Bush Cottage. Sal definitief dit aanbeveel vir enige iemand wat hou van die bos. Huis was volledig toegerus soos geadverteer en die skottelgoedwasser was 'n absolute plus. Ons sal definitief weer teruggaan, en sal Bush Cottage aanbeveel vir enige een wat Marloth besoek.
Thank you for your review. So glad to see that your enjoyed your stay at Bush Cottage.
Our accomadation was very comfortable. Bush Cottage is well situated for maximum animal views.
Die rivier is nader as wat dit lyk op die foto's, wat dit natuurlik ekstra lekker maak. Saans hoor jy die seekoeie in die rivier. Die skottelgoedmasjien is 'n bonus.
Marika H - Apr 2015
Bush Cottage is seker een van die beste huise in Marloth. Ons het 'n uitstekende uitsig gehad en nie eens te praat van al die diere wat op ons stoep kom kuier het nie. Dit was beslis 'n ongelooflike lekker week vir ons gewees.
Edith P - Jan 2015
Verblyf baie lekker, beddegoed baie skoon. Ontvangs was vriendelik.
Die mense by wie ons die sleutel moes optel was baie, baie vriendelik. Ongelukkig net een probleem: Die gewerk aan die dak. Die gras het orals rondgelê en die termiete was orals besig om die gras na hulle neste te dra. So ook het ons 'n klomp spykers by die voordeur opgetel.
Adli L - Jan 2015
Ons het op pad terug van vakansie in Mosambiek by Bush Cottage oorgeslaap vir 2 aande. Dit was heerlik om daar uit te rus na 'n rit van 11 ure. Dis net jammer die swembad was leeg aangesien dit baie warm was.
Istelle G - Jan 2015
Was baie lekker, sal nog lekkerder wees as die grasafdak klaar is.
Verblyf gaan absoluut uitstekend wees as nuwe afdak klaar opgesit is, wat skadu oor plonspoel en gedeelte van stoep gee!
Keith L - Nov 2014
Fantastic site, ideal for two couples as per our booking. Will book again.
Absolutely amazing! Can't comment for the others in our large group, but the room we had was ideal for a couple.
Hanlie E - Oct 2014
Dit was ongelooflik lekker – Marloth Park is ‘n juweel!
David D - Jul 2014
Verblyf was heel aangenaam ten spyte van 'n paar klein dinge wat aandag en onderhoud kort.
Die akkommodasie was heel gerieflik en die ligging van Bush Cottage regoor 'n uitkykpunt by die rivier het bygedra tot 'n besonderse boservaring. Daar is genoegsaam eetgerei en dies meer maar dit sou goed gewees het as daar 'n mop, ordentlike besem en heel skoppie was sodat mens die plek makliker kon skoonhou, veral na 'n tydjie van wind en stof. Daar is heelparty (hoofsaaklik klein) kwessies wat aandag en/of instandhouding verg, soos 'n gebreekte bedbasis in die hoofslaapkamer wat 'n goeie nagrus belemmer het, 'n nie-werkende hooflig in die ...

'n Buitelig by die braaiarea sal 'n aanwins wees.

Stunning bush experience
We had a wonderful time at the Bush Cottage. Everything you need under one roof and the scenery is absolutely perfect. However, our only gripe is that the queen size bed in the main room is not up to standard.
Sarie V - Apr 2014
Baie lekker gekuier en gebly in Bush Cottage.
'n Oulike plek en goeie ligging. Ons het dit geniet. Al 'negatiewe' kommentaar is dat die sitkamer se sitplekke baie ongemaklik is; dat die oond en skottelgoedwasser die krag 'trip' as alle ander 'kragtrekkers' nie afgeskakel word nie; die toilette is 'onstabiel' en die een se sitplek was heeltemal los. Dit sou ook lekker wees as nie net een nie, maar al drie 'aircons' kan werk.
Katja S - Jan 2014
Pleasant experience with great animal sightings on the river banks
The house itself had a few niggles which are easily overcome, such as the oven was not working - a technician was called to fix it. New air-conditioners were installed but one was not useable due to overload of the circuit. Rubbish had not been collected so overflow had to be keep indoors when we went out due to presence of baboons. Apart from that, a fantastic stay!
De Wet V - Dec 2013
Very close to river with outstanding views.
The house is very clean and well maintained. I would recommend additional air-conditioners, as one in the bedroom is not sufficient.
Paul J - Oct 2013
Dis netjies en skoon met baie diere by die huis. Ons sal dit beslis vir enige iemand aanbeveel!
Lourens D - Sep 2013
It was wonderful, and we will go again! Once you there, you can relax!
Linda V - Aug 2013
Absolutely blissfull weekend away in the bush, on the Crocdile River.
Will definitely go visit this retreat in future and will recommend to family and friends. Loved everything about the cottage and environment. Definitely worth the money!!!
Matshepo Z - Aug 2013
Great Stay there!!
I was a great stay, but when we got there no hot water was available to freshen up as we travelled over 5 hours to Bush Cottage. We later fixed that in the morning. All in all it was fulfilling stay, I will recommend family and friends to stay there. Thank you Brigitta!!
Elsje J - Aug 2013
Relaxing and perfect place to unwind away from the city rush
Awesome place!! For the comfort of future guest, maybe consider replacing the queen mattress as it was extremely uncomfortable. Other than that, Bush Cottage is a great place. What a gem so close to nature!
Michele K - Jul 2013
We had a lovely stay at Bush Cottage
A wonderful spot in Marloth Park.
Chappy E - Jul 2013
Bush Cottage kyk uit oor die Krokidilrivier en KNP. Verskeie mak diere kom maak 'n draai om te groet of te bedel. Dis lekker om net te kuier, stap en rustig te verkeer.
Steyn V - Jul 2013
Breathtaking, relaxing, speechless memories
I would love to give Bush Cottage (in writing) a poor rating, because then I know the place will be available when I want to book!! :) Awesome week spent here.
Stacey B - Jun 2013
Stunning view, though cleanliness could be given more attention before guests arrive.
We would definitely go back to Bush cottage as it was a wonderful place and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
Maritza V - May 2013
We has such a good time! The house is so modern and stylish. No problem with hot water, electricity or anything else. This is definitely a place to book if you are looking for some time away. The Kruger fence is 30m away, and what a sight to see. We had hippo's grazing right by the fence every night! Bird watching - absolutely magnificent. Thank you Birgitta for an amazing place to stay!
