Absoluut uitstekend!

Onsettende goeie diens, netjies, skoon, vriendelik, nuut, en gelukkig, is ons woorde. As mens so baie reis, wil jy altyd goeie WiFi en badkamer hê en goed slaap. Die was net die regte plek.

Pragtige, rustige plek.

Pragtige, rustige plek waar alles skoon en netjies is, in die natuur. Baie voëllewe en bokke wat daar rondloop. Diens was uitstekend en eienaars is baie gasvry. Sal plek aanbeveel om omgewing te erken of net om rustig in die bos te verkeer.

Rustige atmosfeer, uitstekende diens.

Plek gee 'n "in-die-bos" atmosfeer wat 'n mens lekker laat ontspan met baie verskillende voëls en selfs 'n paar njalas wat daar rondloop. Baie gesellige en hulpvaardige eienaars en die blyplek was uitstekend skoon en netjies met die nodige items soos koffie, skoon beddegoed en handdoeke, klein yskas, eetgerei, ens, ens. Hul gesamentlike braai lapa/kombuis is uitstekend en wat 'n verrassing was die buitenshuise badkamer as jy dit wil benut. Baie dankie weereens vir 'n lekker kuier, kan dit sterk aanbeveel.

Peaceful atmosphere, excellent service.

Place gives an "in-the-forest" atmosphere that makes one relax with many different birds and even a few nyalas walking around there. Very friendly and helpful owners and the accommodation was excellently clean and tidy with the necessary items such as coffee, clean bed linen and towels, small fridge, cutlery, etc, etc. Their joint braai lapa/kitchen is excellent and what a surprise was the outdoor bathroom if you want to use it. Thank you very much again for a nice visit, can highly recommend it.

Waarde vir geld - super netjies en skoon!

Ons is baie vriendelik ontvang deur die eienaar. Die kamer is super netjies en skoon, heerlike bed en beddegoed, klein ekstratjies wat dit baie spesiaal maak. Die gesamentlike kombuis en braai-area is baie goed toegerus en ’n plesier om te gebruik. Absoluut waarde vir geld, dis so lekker om rustig te wees in die bosveld. Dankie vir n baie lekker kuier, ons kom beslis weer!

Heerlike gasvrye bekostigbare verblyf!

Baie dankie aan Danie en Christa vir ‘n wonderlike wegbreek en kopskoonmaak, julle gasvrye ontvangs en lekker kuier om die vuur. Die drie dae was net wat ons nodig gehad het. Ons het as gaste opgedaag en as vriende swaar afskeid geneem. Julle sal ons beslis weer sien. Die kamers is luuks en goed toegerus, netjies met ‘n daaglikse skoonmaakdiens. Die gemeenskaplike kombuis het alles wat ‘n mens nodig het vir kosmaak, braai of enige “Masterchef skills” wat jy wil ten toon stel. Marakeli kan ek ten sterkste aanbeveel as ‘n luukse maar bekostigbare verblyf opsie, naby die Marakele Wildtuin hoofhek. Vra maar vir Danie, hy sal die beste roetes vir wildsbesigtiging vir jou aandui.

Lovely hospitable affordable accommodation!

Many thanks to Danie and Christa for a wonderful break and clearing of the mind, your hospitable welcome and nice visit around the fire. The three days were just what we needed. We arrived as guests and bade farewell as friends. You will definitely see us again. The rooms are luxurious and well equipped, tidy with a daily cleaning service. The communal kitchen has everything one needs for cooking, barbecuing or any "Masterchef skills" you want to show off. I can strongly recommend Marakeli as a luxurious but affordable accommodation option, close to the Marakele Wildlife Park main gate. Just ask Danie, he will show you the best routes for wildlife viewing.

Akkommodasie was eersteklas. Onberispelik netjies. Kamerdiens was uitstekend.

Eienaars was baie gasvry en toeganklik. Het ons selfs kom haal waar ons afgedraai het en GLADNIE seker was van die pad tot by die gastehuis nie. Ons moet noem dat dit laat in die aand was.
