Needs updating and some care and attention.

We only stayed one of the three nights booked as we found the accommodation shabby and not as represented in the pictures. It's a pity as it's a lovely location overlooking the river, but the grounds are overgrown and trees mask the view somewhat. The interior is dated and dowdy, not at all inviting, and the noise travels excessively. So, when in the downstairs bedroom, you can hear every movement in the upstairs room. I'm sure it was a lovely spot in its glory days, but those seem a long time in the past. Such a shame.

This is a beautiful location. However, the accommodation is very dated and shabby. The grounds need some attention too. Such a pity as the view is lovely and the surroundings are so peaceful.

Ons het die kerstyd daar baie geniet.

Ons het, dankie, die aircon bo het nie gewerk nie, maar het buite op die balkon geslaap. Kan die beddegoed bietjie opgradeer en kon ruik dat dit nie vars gewas is nie. Daar is nie 'n mop of besem nie. Verder was die uitsig die moeite werd en ons het Marloth baie geniet.

We really enjoyed the Christmas time there.

We did, thank you, the aircon upstairs was not working, but slept outside on the balcony. Could upgrade the bedding a bit and could smell that it was not freshly laundered. There is no mop or broom. Furthermore, the view was worth it and we really enjoyed Marloth.

Amazingly superb!

Amazing, we were welcomed by zebras at the entry of our river house which was beautiful! Mercy, who is the caretaker, is super friendly and also suggested places to eat. The view from our balcony was breathtaking. Watching the sunset was just so beautiful and one of the things we enjoyed daily. Watching the stars, elephants, hippos, buffalo, springboks, and plenty more animals come to drink water from the river was just so beautiful!

Rustige verblyf.

Majuli River Lodge is netjies, skoon en gerieflik en was gereed met ons aankoms. Mercy het seker gemaak ons is tevrede en alles gewys met aankoms. Sy is baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Uitsig vanaf die dek is puik. Baie rustige omgewing. Boma is baie lekker. Net bietjie laag om op te braai ook, +- 30cm vanaf die grond. Met wind wat waai, waai die sand maklik op die vleis, en ongemaklik om heeltyd kromrug te staan en braai. Swembad is puik en 'n bonus. Aircon binne het ons ook van 38 grade gered, wat Mercy voor ons aankoms al aangesit het. baie dankie. Diere loop gereeld verby, en kon lekker eet aan die wilds pellets wat ons saamgeneem het. Stel voor 'n aparte braaier, wat hoër is, sal ideaal wees. Afdak vir die voertuig ook 'n groot pluspunt. Ons het dit regtig vreeslik geniet. Sal verseker weer hier oorslaap, baie dankie.

Peaceful stay.

Majuli River Lodge is neat, clean and comfortable and was ready on our arrival. Mercy made sure we were satisfied and showed us everything on arrival. She is very friendly and helpful. View from the deck is great. Very peaceful environment. Boma is very nice. Just a little low to grill on too, +- 30cm from the ground. With the wind blowing, the sand blows easily on the meat, and it is uncomfortable to stand hunched all the time and grill. Pool is great and a bonus. Aircon inside also saved us from 38 degrees, which Mercy had already put on before our arrival. thank you very much. Animals often pass by, and were able to enjoy eating the game pellets that we took with us. Suggest a separate grill, which is higher would be ideal. Canopy for the vehicle also a big plus. We really enjoyed it terribly. Will definitely stay here again, thank you very much.

View and deck amazing.

The cleanliness was not up to scratch. The lodge itself is below par. Poor finishing for the rate of cost. Kitchen is really below not good. Beds are really uncomfortable, bathroom not clean and there is plenty of room for a shower in upper bathroom. Generally unclean and the whole lodge is in need of repairs and a paint and some love shown to it. If this was done then the lodge would be worth the money. Very poor braaiing facilities available. The best part about the lodge is the upper deck area. The table and chairs downstairs are in need of being discarded and new ones in their place as I ripped 2 t shirts on the chairs. The stay overall was okay. Please show love to make this lodge better.

Thank you for taking the time to review us. Also thank you for your offer of investing in the house as part of a partnership and then to offer to buy the house outright. With it's brilliant location and view, we get that a lot but thanks again.

Our employee, Mercy offered to come daily and service the house when checking you in. You refused this. I'm sure any cleaning issues could have been addressed during your stay if you wanted it.

I have spoken to the manager and cleaner of the house to ensure we take all your points onboard. There is to be a full review completed in the next day or two and we will put an action plan to rectify any issues. Most of our reviews are positive but we take negative ones seriously.

Apologies again that the house wasn't to your standard and thanks again for the offer of partnership! Sorry we couldn't make it happen

Disappointing stay. View very nice.

The view very nice. The accommodation is: 1. Poorly furnished and lighting pathetic. 2. Poor to no curtains. 3. Very dirty. 4. Floor noise so no sleep is possible. 5. Hanging cabinet and mirrors weak. 6. Bedding poor. 7. Photos on advertisement misleading.

Baie diere in Marloth.

Die beste deel van Majuli River Lodge is die dek met sy uitsig oor die rivier en diere naby die lodge. Ongelukkig is die lodge self effens oud en het aandag nodig. Die lodge het dit wat nodig is, maar dis alles ongemaklik. Die stortgordyn sit baie laag en net my klein kinders het nie nodig gehad om te buk om in die stort te kom nie. Na die 6de keer dat die gordyn afgeval het, het ek opgehou om dit terug te sit. Eetgerei word verskaf, maar op die laagste rak in die kombuis gehou en mens moet ver buk vir 'n teelepel. Die tafel en stoele op die dek pas nie bymekaar nie en dit was baie ongemaklik om te eet, die tafel is hoog en die stoele laag. Self ek wat amper 2 m lank is het op 'n kussing gesit om beter by te kom. Die kliëntediens is goed en bespreking het glad verloop, ons is vriendelik verwelkom. Die WiFi het goed gewerk. Teen R1500 per nag het ek meer verwag.

Many animals in Marloth.

The best part of Majuli River Lodge is the deck with its view of the river and animals near the lodge. Unfortunately the lodge itself is a bit old and in need of attention. The lodge has what is needed, but it's all uncomfortable. The shower curtain sits very low and only my small children did not need to bend down to get into the shower. After the 6th time the curtain fell off, I stopped putting it back. Cutlery is provided, but kept on the lowest shelf in the kitchen and one has to bend far for a teaspoon. The table and chairs on the deck do not fit together and it was very uncomfortable to eat, the table is high and the chairs low. Even I who am almost 2 m tall sat on a cushion to get better. The customer service is good and booking went smoothly, we were warmly welcomed. The WiFi worked well. At R1500 per night I expected more.

Amazing location.

We absolutely loved Majuli River Lodge. Had zebras right at our doorstep, saw elephants and hippo from the porch every day. Plus kudus, giraffes and monkeys when driving around. The place was clean and the kitchen well equipped. We did day trips to Kruger Park to see more wild life. Had a magical time, enjoyed every minute. Many thanks.

Great terrace with a great view but needs improvement.

The house itself is badly soundproofed, so you can hear every sound from each room in the whole house. It has a basic equipment and the dishes had to be cleaned before use. Nice was the little bar with a second fridge upstairs. The water in the pool dirty and murky although a pool guy cleaned it every morning. The charms of the house is mostly the wonderful terrace upstairs, which is perfect for wildlife watching and sundowners.

The reservation was changed without notice. When we arrived at the house and called the owner, he was very unfriendly over the phone. The house was dirty, smoked in. On the positive, the shower worked and the availability of a washing machine.

I am so sorry we changed your booking. We made a mistake and double booked so thought we would upgrade you to another house on the river that charges double what you paid. We thought that was the least we could do and we absorbed the extra cost. I am sorry it didn't live up to your expectations and I will pass on your comments to the owner.

Great view on the river where game drinks water throughout the day. Very nice spacious place, especially the deck.

'n Stukkie hemel op aarde.

Wanneer mens vroegoggend met 'n koffie en stukkie beskuit in jou hand op die dek sit en die geniepsigheid van die nag en die oggend aan jou lyf voel kom die woorde "wees stil en weet Ek is God" by jou op. Ons besef weer hoe klein ons is en dat daar 'n groter hand is wat alles onder beheer hou.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

A piece of heaven on earth.

When you sit on the deck early in the morning with a coffee and a piece of biscuit in your hand and feel the gentleness of the night and the morning on your body, the words "be still and know I am God" come to mind. We realize again how small we are and that there is a bigger hand that keeps everything under control.

Die uitsig kan nie beter nie.

Die eetgerei en glase kort bietjie aandag. Braaiers was nie skoon gewees nie. Behalwe bogenoemde sal ons enige tyd weer na Majuli toe gaan. My kleinkinders het dit baie geniet en veral toe die sebras ons kom besoek het.

Unbeatable view.

The cutlery and glasses need a bit of attention. Braais were dirty. That aside, we will book Majuli any day again. My grandkids really enjoyed it, especially the zebra visit.

Uistekend - ligging, privaat, lekker.

Reeds aan al my vriende verwys. Puik waarde vir geld. Lekker op dek getan terwyl olifante, buffels, seekoeie in Krokkodilrivier baljaar. Diere in Marloth Park pragtig. 2 klein dingetjies, kaste in kamer kan bietjie aandag geniet, veral vir mense wat 'n week plus daar bly. Braai-area kan bietjie onkruid verwyder word. Dit is nie negatief nie maar opbouende kritiek. As ek weer kom is dit die plek waar ek bly en soos gesê, reeds aan al my vriende verkondig.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Excellent - location, private, pleasant.

Already recommended it to all my friends. Excellent value for money. Loved tanning on the deck while elephants, buffalo and hippos grazed down in the Crocodile River. The animals in Marloth Park are beautiful. Two small things, the cupboards in the room could use some attention, especially for people staying longer than a week. At the braai area some of the weeds can be removed. It's not negative, just constructive criticism. If I should go again, this would be the place I stay and as I mentioned I have already recommended it to friends.

Ongelooflike ondervinding.

Ons is so vriendelik ontvang. Alles was skoon, op hulle plek. Die "splashpool" was vol en skoon. Die ligging is ongelooflik. Reg op die rivier met 'n ongelooflike uitsig. Dit is 'n plek waar jy kan afskakel en jou vakansie in 'n ander wêreld kan deurbring. Maar jy moet lief wees vir die veld.

We had a very friendly welcome. Everything was clean, on its place. The splash pool was full and clean. The location is unbelievable. Right on the river with a beautiful view. It is a place where you can switch off and spend your holiday in a different world. But you have to love the veld.

Absoluut fantasties. Ongelooflike rustigheid en uitsig.

Dit was heerlik, net te kort. Hierdie is so klein stukkie hemel wat hier kom val het. Die uitsig is ongelooflik, so ook die rustigheid. Die dieregeluide en die voëls is uniek. Mens kry weer jou siel hier terug van die alledaagse gejaag na niks. Hier kan jy weer mens word. Baie dankie aan Maritsa en Dean vir julle vriendelikheid. As jy oor iets wil kla dan wil jy net kla dit is fantasties. Al aanbeveling wat ek sal maak is die moontlike plasing van klein yskassie bo. As mens bo op die dek sit en die natuur geniet met 'n koeligheidjie moet jy kort-kort onder by die yskas gaan hervul.

Absolutely fantastic. Incredible tranquility and view.

It was delicious, just too short. This is such a small piece of heaven that has fallen here. The view is incredible, as is the tranquility. The animal sounds and the birds are unique. Here you get your soul back from the everyday rush to nothing. Here you can become human again. Many thanks to Maritsa and Dean for your kindness. If you want to complain about something then just complain it's fantastic. All I would recommend is the possible placement of a small fridge above. If you sit up on the deck and enjoy nature with a cool one, you have to refill the fridge every now and then.

Die uitsig is asemrowend.

Majuli River Lodge is pragtig. Dit was 'n heerlike wegbreek. Die beste deel van die huis is die boonste dek! Ongelooflike uitsig. Al wat pla is die houtvloer wat baie raas en geen bad.

Thank you for your booking and thank you for taking the time to write a review.
The house is quite cosy so we decided not to have a bath and instead went for showers. There is a lovely lit up splash pool directly outside the house. I will speak to the manager regarding the floors to review them and see if we can reduce the noise.
Also I see you only gave 3 stars for security. I am sorry for this. Marloth Park is statistically one of the safest places in South Africa with guards on the entrances. We also have 24 security located in the park. we maybe should have explained that to you to make you feel more secure. Sorry.
Thanks again for the booking and review. Majuli River Lodge

Thank you for choosing us for your stay in Marloth Park and we are delighted you enjoyed your stay. Also thank you for taking the time to get in touch. I have my manager looking at the stools as we speak. As they are outside they get exposed to the elements more so the wood might have shrunk and made them a little wobbly. We will repair or replace immediately.

Dit was fantasties.

Ek sal enigeen aanraai om hier te bly. Die uitsig oor die Krokodilrivier was fantasties en ons het soveel diere gesien. Net jammer die rivier was so droog. Die huisie was voldoende vir ons en natuurlik die dek was die hoogtepunt om vroegoggend die son te sien opkom terwyl jy 'n lekker koppie koffie drink. Dankie vir almal wat bygedra het.

I would recommend anyone to stay here. The view over the Crocodile River was fantastic and we saw so many animals. Just a pity the river was so dry.

Met temperature van 46°C was die lugversorging hemel op aarde! Ons het die verblyf baie geniet. Wil net aanbeveel dat 'n deur by die onderste badkamer aangebring word. Die vloer was papnat na elke stort. Die boonste badkamer se stort kort bietjie aandag.

Dit was absoluut 'n wonderlike ervaring so tussen die diere en die veld en by die rivier.

Dit was vir ons as 'n gesin van 4 'n wonderlike ervaring. Ons het heerlik in die huis gebly, die zebras en vlakvarke het ons gereeld besoek en om op die dek te kuier vir ure aaneen en te kyk na wat in en om die rivier aangaan was heerlik. Ek hoop om weer eendag so 'n vakansie te gaan geniet, veral weer in Majuli River Lodge se huis.

It was a wonderful experience for us as a family of 4. We had a lovely stay in the house, the zebras and warthogs visited us often and hanging out on the deck for hours on end watching what was going on in and around the river was lovely. I hope to enjoy such a holiday again one day, especially in Majuli River Lodge's home.

Vryheid in die bos!

Ons het ons verblyf vreeslik baie geniet. Die enigste ietsie eksta wat van hulp sou gewees het, is 'n kaart van die omgewing. Ons was gelukkig en het toe sommer 'n kaart by die munisipaliteit gekry. Verder as dit, was dit ongelooflik lekker en die mense in die omgewing is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Beautiful setting on Crocodile River, rustic and comfortable

Beautiful location, great sightings of Elephant, Hippo,crocodiles, Buffalo and Waterbuck. House needs a bit of attention as taps leaking, microwave rusted on the inside, and some outside spots were not working but were repaired 2 days before our departure. Downstairs shower needs a door or curtain. Otherwise the sunsets on the deck and the sightings made the stay worthwhile, like I said rustic but comfortable. We had a great stay. Also reasonable close to the Crocodile gate of the Kruger.
