Description
The Tortoise Shell is a self-catering holiday home located in Marloth Park, a 3,000-hectare wildlife conservancy and holiday town situated on the southern border of the Kruger National Park. Though rustic, the home has every conceivable mod-con to make your stay more enjoyable.
The house can accommodate up to 8 guests and comprises 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a guest toilet; and an open-plan kitchen and living area. Three of the bedrooms have queen-size beds whilst the fourth bedroom has 2 single beds. There is sufficient bedding for the number of guests and towels are provided. Each bedroom has a small double-door cupboard as well as bedside tables and lamps. The bedrooms also have plug-in facilities for a USB port.
The home is fitted with 2 gas geysers. The 1 geyser supplies 1 bathroom, the guest toilet, and the kitchen; whilst the other services the second bathroom. Each bathroom has a very big glass shower, whilst there is only 1 bath. Each bedroom is fully air-conditioned as is the entire open-plan lounge area.
The kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering and contains a 5-plate gas stove, oven, double-door industrial fridge, freezer, microwave, and cutlery and crockery. For your convenience, we have a dishwasher as well as a washing machine. The dining area has seating space for 8 people, while the lounge has a comfy lounge suite.
There is a large boma next to the splash pool for those typical African bush braais. The boma is surrounded by a ”built-in” bench to seat everyone comfortably around the fire. There is also an undercover braai as well as a separate wood-fired pizza oven for those wonderful pizzas or roasts. Pots and pans suitable for extreme fire temperatures are provided. There is also a gas-fired pot broiler on casters. The 2 indoor kitchen cupboards are mounted on caster wheels so that they can be wheeled outside onto the verandah to limit the trips inside to collect things.
The large veranda table can comfortably accommodate 10 people. It has a bench for the children as well as high-backed chairs for the adults with additional chairs around the dining room table should they be required. The house is linked to Securicon Security Company, so please lock up and arm when you are out. There is a double carport on the property.
The home is fully serviced daily with the exception of Sundays. The lady will accommodate most of your requirements upon request. Should you not require or want her services, please let her know.
