Lekker gebly, die plek is netjies en die jacuzzi is 'n bonus.

Die plek is baie kleiner as wat die fotos voorgee. Ons was 3 groot mense met 1 tiener. Dit was beknop en in mekaar se spasie. Ek persoonlik kan nie dink dat daar 6 mense kan pas nie. Slaap ja, maar leef nee. Loadshedding val onder MarlothPark 8 nie 16 nie.

Nice stay, the place is neat and the jacuzzi is a bonus.

The place is much smaller than the photos suggest. We were 3 adults with 1 teenager. It was cramped and in each other's space. I personally can't imagine that 6 people can fit. Sleep yes, but live no. Loadshedding falls under MarlothPark 8 not 16.

Baie lekker.

Baie lekker gebly. Huis was glad nie geaffekteer deur loadshedding nie, wat baie gehelp het, en die aircons wat kon aanbly in die hitte van Marloth was 'n seëning.

Very nice.

Very nice stay. House was not affected by loadshedding at all, which helped a lot, and the aircons being able to stay on in the heat of Marloth was a blessing.

Dit was 'n onvergeetlike naweek. Baie dankie Lynica vir puik diens.

Ons het meeste van die tyd in die Jacuzzi spandeer, veral tydens fase 6 beurtkrag. Ons kon nie glo hoe mak die wild was nie, veral die koedoes, duikers, njalas, zebras, bloue wildebeeste, rietbokke en bosbokke. Dit het al ons verwagtinge oortref en was baie spesiaal.

It was an unforgettable weekend. Thank you very much Lynica for great service.

We spent most of the time in the Jacuzzi, especially during phase 6 load shedding. We couldn't believe how tame the wildlife was, especially the kudus, duikers, nyalas, zebras, blue wildebeest, reed goats and bushbucks. It exceeded all our expectations and was very special.

Ontspan in die bos.

Ons het die plekkie verskriklik baie geniet - alles was daar wat ons nodig gehad het. Het die jacuzzi baie geniet. Die eienaars was verskriklik oulik en behulpsaam. Ons sal beslis weer van die plekkie gebruik maak.

So ontspannend. Rustig in die natuur sonder 'n TV. Elke oomblik geniet.

Olifant is 'n baie skoon en netjiese plek. Die lugversorging het baie gehelp met die warm dae. Lekker ontspan in die swembad. Wilde diere maak kort-kort 'n draai vir kossies. Die huis is netjiese en gerieflik. Ons het dit baie geniet. Kombuis kort net 'n paar Tupper-houers. Sal definitief weer gaan.

So relaxing. Quiet in nature without a TV. Enjoy every moment.

Olifant is a very clean and tidy place. The air conditioning helped a lot on the hot days. Relax in the pool. Wild animals make a stop every now and then for food. The house is neat and comfortable. We enjoyed it very much. Kitchen just needs a few Tupperware containers. Will definitely go again.

Gerieflike akkommodasie.

Die Olifanthuis was doeltreffend. Ons het ons kuier vreeslik geniet. Die bos het ons goed gedoen. Omdat daar net een badkamer en toilet is sal ek nie die plekkie vir meer as een gesin aanbeveel nie. Met aankoms was die kombuis se wasbak vol ou skottelgoedwater. Een klein vuilisdrom is nie genoeg nie. Gaste moet gesê word om swartsakke te bring, aangesien geen voorsien word nie. Ek moes die stort ook skoonmaak wat vol hare was. Die vloere was ook nie skoon nie. Ek sal voorstel om beter skoonmaakdienste aan te skaf. Die huis is goed toegerus met die nodige. Banke en beddens gemaklik. Baie dankie dat ons die plekkie ons tuiste kon maak.

Comfortable accommodation.

The Elephant House was efficient. We enjoyed our visit very much. The forest has done us good. Because there is only one bathroom and toilet I would not recommend the place for more than one family. Upon arrival, the kitchen sink was full of old dishwater. One small dustbin is not enough. Guests should be told to bring black bags as none are provided. I also had to clean the shower which was full of hair. The floors were not clean either. I would suggest purchasing better cleaning services. The house is well equipped with the necessary. Sofas and beds comfortable. Thank you very much for making the place our home.

Awesome.

Baie dankie vir die gebruik van julle huis. Net die volgende: Die een wasbak in die kombuis se prop werk nie en water hardloop in die kas. Julle sal moet kyk na daardie kas, groot waterskade. Die lig in die lapa het nie gewerk nie. Ek sal ook voorstel dat julle net bietjie sterker ligte in die kamer sit. Verder het ons baie lekker gebly en gerus.

Dit was 'n baie lekker aand.

Alles was baie lekker, al wat 'n klein probleem was die beligting in die eenheid is baie donker sukkel as jy besig is in die kombuis met die beligting. Net nog iets wat ons opgetel het die stoofplate was baie olierig en in die boonste kamer onder die bed was 'n boek van vorige gaste.

It was a very nice evening.

Everything was very nice, all that was a small problem was the lighting in the unit is very dark struggle if you are busy in the kitchen with the lighting. Just another thing we picked up the stove plates were very oily and in the upstairs room under the bed was a book from previous guests.

Baie aangename plekkie in die bos met al die nodige geriewe.

Wonderlike verblyf gehad met al die nodige geriewe tot ons beskikking. Alhoewel die plek nie groot en ruim is nie, maak die buitebraai en lapa op vir genoeg spasie en heerlike kuierplek. Net 'n voorstel: Pad-aanwysing vanaf die hoofpad na die huis se ingang, miskien net 'n bordjie aanbring in die hoofpad. Beligting in die slaapkamers moet net bietjie sterker gloeilampe gebruik.

Very pleasant place in the forest with all the necessary facilities.

We had a wonderful stay with all the necessary facilities at our disposal. Although the place is not big and spacious, the outdoor barbecue and lapa make up for enough space and a lovely place to hang out. Just a suggestion: Road sign from the main road to the house's entrance, maybe just put a sign in the main road. Lighting in the bedrooms should only use slightly stronger bulbs.

Dit was aangenaam.

Die huis was redelik skoon. Geen televisie was 'n probleem veral aangesien dit heel naweek erg gereën het. Beddegoed was baie goed. Huis is baie kleiner as wat mens aanvanklik verwag, plus die ligging was nie heeltemal wat ons wou hê nie. Ons kon egter nie voor die tyd oordeel waar die huis is nie.

The house was quite clean. No television which was a problem since it rained the entire weekend. Bedding was very good. House is smaller than expected, plus the location wasn't quite what we wanted. However, we were unable to judge where the house was before the time.

Dear Santi,

Thank you for your feedback.

With regards to the size of the house, we believe that it being a double-volume, 6-sleeper unit, our pricing offers incredible value by comparison to a chalet for 2 in the Kruger Park for R1390.00 per night plus conservation fees and compared to other Marloth Park accommodation which is offered at R990.00 per night for 2 people with half the space.

We specifically advertise no TVs for 2 reasons: Our venue offers a bush break with nature and relaxation, therefore offering time away from normal life. The second reason is safety and security, as the properties are not occupied all the time, therefore, we aim to reduce security threats and increase leisure time.

Regards,
Olifant Marloth Park In The Bush
