Marloth Park Hippo House

Gemaklik, tranquil, huis weg van die huis.

Ons almal het besluit dat ons so gou moontlik weer sal gaan en die keer langer. Dit is gerieflik, gemaklik en luuks. Dit is wel bietjie sleg dat mens net die rivier van die uitkykpunt kan sien. Die kamers en badkamers is werklik aangenaam. Ons gaan vir seker die ons huis in die bos maak.

Baie lekker wegbreek!

Die huis was ten volle toegerus met alles wat mens nodig het vir 'n selfsorgeenheid vir 'n groot groep mense. Dit was baie lekker gewees, die ligging van die huis is ook perfek. Die feit dat die kamers lugverkoeling in het het ook baie gehelp.

Lots of potential, requires maintenance.

Hippo House is situated close to the river and thus the location of the house is great. We did, however, have endless issues with hot water supply and the children had to bath in cold water some evenings. Abri advised that some lizards had bred in the geyser box, but even after this was resolved the water was still not constant. It would be hot for 2-3 minutes then ice cold. Then we would have to close the tap and repeat the process. Although Abri provided the plumbers contact details I do not feel this is something I would like to resolve while on holiday. The house has plenty of potential but it is in need of dire maintenance and a thorough clean - a used condom was left on the bedroom floor from previous guests which was not cleaned when we arrived.

Lekker kuierhuis, maar kort onderhoud.

Die bestuurder, Anton, was baie deeglik, vriendelik en het baie gehelp. Ons het vir 2 dae geen warm water gehad in 2 badkamers nie, maar Anton het gereël dat die gas vervang word. Die kombuis op die tweede verdieping pla so effe aangesien almal buite kuier en braai. Die braaigeriewe is baie lekker en al die implemente in die kombuis is luuks, nuut en fantasties. Die hoofslaapkamer met die en suite-badkamer se lakens kan vervang word- dit lyk baie oud, en daar is ook vismotte in die bed gevind. Verder moet onderhoud gedoen word aan die huis (hekkie val omtrent uit mekaar). All-in-all, 'n lekker week gehad in Hippo House.

Breathtaking experience, everything that a bushveld getaway can be.

The only thing that can improve is the warm water supply - wasn't enough for 8 guests.

Perfect accommodation.

Staff friendly and helpful. Abri went to the effort to courier something back that was left behind.

Goeie ligging, netjiese huis met baie geriewe.

Ons was 'n groep van 2 gesinne, een met tieners. Hippo House is 'n gerieflike bestemming. Die kamers is netjies, en die leefareas beloof heerlike kuiers. Ons het heerlik saam gekuier, kos gemaak en luilekker in die swembad afgekoel. Ons het niks meer nodig gehad as wat die huis gebied het nie. Die ysmasjien is 'n bonus, want dit is iets wat ons altyd saam ry. Die lekker groot yskas en vrieskas in die kombuis en die yskas in die kroeg dra baie by tot die gerief van die huis, daar is meer as genoeg plek om alles koud te hou in die warm weer. Die lugreëlings in die slaapkamers en leefarea maak ook 'n kuier baie gerieflik. Die dek bo kyk regtig tot binne in Kruger en ons het ons vroeë oggende en laat middae geniet met wildkyk. Anton se diens was skitterend en hy het regtig uit sy pad gegaan om seker te maak ons is tevrede. Ons het elke dag 'n silwerskoon swembad en braai gehad. Dankie Anton.

This was one of the best Karoo trips we've been on!

Hippo House is neat and strategically located on the banks of the Krokodil River. Anton welcomed us warmly and explained everything. Abri helped us immediately when the geyser tripped! Comfortable accommodation which we really enjoyed. Full marks to Abri and Anton and whoever else were responsible!

Was awesome.

We had a wonderful time and the house is neat.

Amazing house overlooking Kruger Park.

The house offers amazing and clean accommodation with a view over the Crocodile River and the Kruger National Park. We were able to see a lot of buffalo and elephants from the house. At night it felt as if the Lions were roaring in the garden, we were so close to the Kruger Park. Anton, the caretaker, did a great job and was an added bonus we did not expect. The house was fully equipped for self-catering, even an ice machine and gas braai was available to us. Full DSTV was available, so we were able to keep the kids happy and watch our sport. It was too cold to use the splash pool but would be nice on hot summer days. We would definitely returning very soon and highly recommend this accommodation.
