Amazing and peaceful.

It was a great stay. Had to replace the remote aircon batteries in the downstairs room. The cupboard at the top of the stairs was open and had half bottles of shampoos, etc. lying around. It was a wonderful place to stay. The host was absolutely amazing. Thank you, Marriane.

Daar is alles wat jy nodig het. Jy hoef regtig net jou eie swem handdoeke te bring. Die res is daar. As jy kleiner kinders het is dit die plek vir jou. Die huis is toe met palisades, so dit is veilig. Die swembadjie is baie lekker.

Wat 'n fees!

Na 'n baie lang en met tye moeilike jaar was dit vir ons familie wonderlik om weg te breek. Toe ons by Elephant House instap was dit asof ons by een van ons eie huise ingestap het. Die huis was ten volle toegerus met alles wat nodig en nog meer. Daar was genoeg waaiers wat saam met die lugversorging en swembad gehelp het om die warm dae en nagte baie gemaklik te maak. Daar is voldoende sekuriteit in en om die huis wat 'n groot gerusstelling was. Ons kon agterkom dat die eienaars baie oor die plek asook ons gemak omgee. Daar is met ons kontak gemaak om te hoor of ons nog tevrede is en ons het die vrymoedigheid gehad om enige tyd met hulle kontak te maak. Toe daar in Marloth 'n probleem met Eskom en later 'n waterlek in een van die huis se badkamers ontstaan het, het hulle ons op hoogte gehou oor hoe die herstelwerk vorder. Die huis en erf was groot genoeg vir ons almal en ons kon sorgvry die park verken of net op die stoep sit en na die diere kyk. Dit was vir seker een dan die jaar se hoogtepunte gewees, ons is baie dankbaar!

What a feast!

After a very long and at times difficult year, it was wonderful for our family to break away. When we walked into Elephant House it was as if we walked into one of our own homes. The house was fully equipped with everything needed and more. There were enough fans which along with the air conditioning and pool helped to make the hot days and nights very comfortable. There is adequate security in and around the house which was a great reassurance. We could see that the owners care a lot about the place as well as our comfort. We were contacted to see if we were still satisfied and we had the freedom to contact them at any time. When there was a problem with Eskom in Marloth and later a water leak in one of the house's bathrooms, they kept us informed about how the repairs were progressing. The house and yard were big enough for all of us and we could carefree explore the park or just sit on the porch and watch the animals. It was certainly one of the highlights of the year, we are very grateful!

Dit was heerlik dankie.

Ons het dit baie geniet om by Elephant House tuis te gaan. Ons sal beslis weer daar bly. Pragtig skoon en netjies. Net jammer die ligging is so naby die hoofpad die verkeer is bietjie irriterend, maar dis nie 'n krisis nie, ons het dit eintlik geniet om na 'n lang dag in die wildtuin nie nog 'n lang grondpad te ry tot by ons huisie nie. Die sekuriteit is wonderlik ons het dit baie waardeer. Heerlik gebly, baie dankie.

We really enjoyed staying at Elephant House. We will definitely stay there again. Beautifully clean and tidy. It's just a pity the location is so close to the main road as the traffic is a little annoying, but it's not a crisis, we actually enjoyed not having to drive another long dirt road to our cottage after a long day in the park. The security is great, we really appreciated it. Lovely stay, thank you very much.

Nie geskik vir groot gesin met kinders nie.

As gevolg van ouer mense wat permanent langsaan bly, sal ek nie aanbeveel dat 'n groot gesin daar bly nie. Die mense kla vreeslik oor die gelag en gesels van kinders en mense. Ons is gevra om eerder ons bordspeletjies en gesinstyd binne die huis te geniet a.g.v. die mense wat langsaan bly. Ons gaan baie Marloth toe en nog nooit is ons gevra om nie te lag en gesels nie. So ek sal eerder aanbeveel dat die huis net gebruik word vir kleiner gesinne en nie 'n groot groep mense nie. Verder het ons die nagapies wat daar 'n tuiste gemaak het vreeslik baie geniet en al die diere wat kom kuier het.

Not suitable for large family with children.

Due to older people living next door permanently, I would not recommend a large family staying there. The people complain terribly about the laughter and chatter of children and people. We were asked to enjoy our board games and family time indoors instead because the people who live next door. We go to Marloth a lot and have never been asked not to laugh and chat. So I would rather recommend that the house is only used for smaller families and not a large group of people. Furthermore, we really enjoyed the night monkeys that made a home there and all the animals that came to visit.

Elephant-House 's response

Beste Louiza,

Baie dankie vir jou kommentaar.

Ek moet meld dat ons geen klagtes van ons direkte bure af gekry het nie maar wel van mense wat 3 erwe verder weg af gekry is. Die klagtes na 15:00 op die Saterdag-middag begin instroom dat daar harde musiek gemaak word, wat teen die reëls van Marloth Park is.

Ongelukkig word die bywette van Marloth Park van die begin van die jaar af streng toegepas en dat geen lawaai meer in Marloth Park geduld gaan word nie, dus is dit nie net van toepassing op Elephant House nie maar op al die huise in Marloth Park.

Graag wil ek ook noem dat Elephant House van Januarie 2019 net as 'n 8-slaper uitverhuur gaan word.

Hoop dat julle weer eendag sal kom kuier.

Bosgroete,
Mariaan

Heerlike rustige wegbreek.

Aangename verblyf in die hartjie van die bosveld. Koedoes, sebras en kameelperde wat voor ons agterdeur verby stap. Het heerlik ontspan, baie dankie.

Lovely peaceful getaway.

Pleasant stay in the heart of the bushveld. Kudus, zebras and giraffes walking past our back door. Had a great time relaxing, thank you very much.

Heerlik rustig!

Ons het 'n heerlike tyd by Elephant House gehad! Die huis is so lekker groot en ruim! Die absolute bonus was die heining agter wat ons twee-ariges veilig by ons kon hou! Ons sal graag weer daar gaan kuier!

Fantastiese ervaring!

Die huis is veilig vir klein kindertjies aangesien dit toegespan is aan die een kant. Daar was 'n verskeidenheid diere in die omgewing van die huis en daar was geen nodigheid om rond te ry opsoek na diere nie. Die huis is gerieflik uiteengesit met genoeg badkamers vir groot groepe. Ek sal definitief die huis aanbeveel!

Fantastic experience!

The house is safe for small children seeing as how it's closed on one side. There was a wide variety of animals in the surrounds and no need for driving around to look for animals. The house is comfortably laid out and has enough bathrooms for large groups. I will definitely recommend this house!

Fantasties.

Dit was uitstekend. Mariaan Vosloo se plek was baie skoon en netjies, daar was nie 'n tekort aan enigiets nie. Die Elephant House is baie netjies en skoon alles was in werkende toestand. Ek sal definitief weer by haar bespreek. Ons het haar reeds telefonies ook bedank. Die huis binne gee jou 'n gevoel dat jy tuis is. Ek sal haar plek aan enige persoon aanbeveel. Daar was hout tot ons beskikking vir braai ook. Die plonspoel was skoon. Julle het 5 ster huis. Puik, uitstekend, skoon, netjies en sy het 'n baie mooi persoonlikheid was die hele tyd in kontak met my. Jy kan trots wees op jou plek.

It was excellent. Mariaan Vosloo's place was very clean and tidy, there was no shortage of anything. The Elephant House is very neat and clean, everything was in working order. I will definitely book with her again. We have already thanked her by phone as well. The house inside gives you a feeling that you are at home. I would recommend her place to anyone. There was wood at our disposal for braai as well. The splash pool was clean. You have 5 star house. Great, excellent, clean, tidy and she has a very nice personality was in contact with me the whole time. You can be proud of your place.

Fantasties! Die lekkerste wat ek nog in Marloth gebly het!

Die huis is die skoonste wat ek nog in Marloth gebly het, en die eienaars (Vossie en Mariaan) is die beste, daar was 'n probleem in Marloth Park wat water aanbetref, en die twee het eers tot ruste gekom toe ons bevestig het ons het nou water. Ons het reeds Elephant-House by 'n paar vriende en kennisse aanbeveel!

Beste waarde vir geld in Marloth.

Die enigste nadeel van die eiendom is dat dit reg langs die hoofpad geleë is, nie dat dit raserig is nie. Dis net dat jy so af en toe 'n voertuig hoor.

Best value for money in Marloth.

The only downside to the property is that it is located right next to the main road, not that it is noisy. It's just that every now and then you hear a vehicle.
