Baie, baie lekker, baie dankie, so baie mak diere by ons gekuier.

Baie goed gereël deur personeel en ek stem vir die R1500.00 terugbetaalde deposito, want dit is 'n baie lekker plek om te ontspan tussen mak diere en dit moet opgepas en so gehou word.

Very, very nice, thank you very much, so many tame animals visited us.

Very well organized by staff and I vote for the R1500.00 refunded deposit because it is a very nice place to relax among domesticated animals and it needs to be looked after and kept that way.

Marlothpark is soos altyd 'n pragtige plek.

Die kommunikasie vir my wat nie e-pos op 'n foon het nie was 'n kopseer. Toe ons by aankoms die sleutel wou vat moes ons eers 'n R1500.00 deposito betaal. Dit het my omtrent twee ure gevat as gevolg van dat daar geen sein was by Marlothpark nie, en die eienaar het geweier dat ons die sleutel kry. Ons was eers 23:30 na 'n lang dag se reis by die huis. Die sekuriteit het vir ons op die kaart na die verkeerde adres geteken, toe mos ons eers die plek soek ook in die nag. Die huis is naby aan die hoofingang en daar is regdeur die nag mense wat raas daar rond. Jammer oor dit, seker maar ek wat tegnologies gestrem is.

Marlothpark is a beautiful place as always.

The communication for me who doesn't have email on a phone was a headache. When we wanted to take the key upon arrival we had to pay a R1500.00 deposit. It took me about two hours because there was no signal at Marlothpark, and the owner refused to let us get the key. We weren't home until 11.30pm after a long day's travel. The security drew the wrong address for us on the map, so we had to look for the place first, also at night. The house is close to the main entrance and there are people making noise around there throughout the night. Sorry about that, probably just me who is technologically disabled.

Rustig en was 'n lekker wegbreek.

Was baie verras oor al die wild so naby aan die hek, nagapies was 'n wenner. Op 'n stadium 10 getel in die boom op een slag.

Was very surprised at all the wildlife so close to the gate, night owls were a winner. At one point 10 counted in the tree at once.

Everything you need!

Visited Marloth a few times before and it never disappoints. The house is in a great location. House very clean and did not need anything more. We were 4 adults and 4 children. House was not overcrowded at all. We enjoyed the splash pool on the hot days. Taryn was always helpful with everything we needed. Thanks again for this lovely place. Will book it definitely again.

What an amazing place!

Some friends from overseas and I had a magical few days in Umvangazi in December. The house was spacious, clean, had aircon, full kitchen amenities which was perfect for our needs. The braai area and swimming pool was great too, and we got to see some wildlife drinking at the watering holes on the property. I would highly recommend this place to anyone, and really cannot wait to go back.

Rustige woonplek vir natuurliefhebbers. Ideal vir besoeke aan Krugerwildtuin.

'n Beslis ideale plek vir familievakansies. Goed toegerus met televisie vir stiller geleenthede. IdeaaI ook vir besoeke aan ander besienswaardighede insluitend die Krugerwildtuin.

'n Huis weg van jou huis..

Het die week van 16 tot 23 Desember 2018 saam my familie vreeslik geniet by Umvangazi. Eerste 3 dae was ongeveer 42 grade en is dankbaar dat daar air-con in al die kamers was en 'n splash pool om in af te koel. Nagapies het ons elke aand kom besoek en deur die dag het die koedoes, apies, zebras, vlakvarke asook meerkatte 'n draai kom maak. Binne-in huis is daar aan alles gedink om gaste se behoeftes te bevredig. Sal beslis Umvangazi aanbeveel vir 'n lekke bosvakansie, asook om self weer besoek.

A home away from home..

Enjoyed the week of 16 to 23 December 2018 with my family at Umvangazi. First 3 days were about 42 degrees and thankful that there was air-con in all the rooms and a splash pool to cool off in. Nagapies came to visit us every evening and during the day the kudus, monkeys, zebras, warthogs and meerkats came for a visit. Inside the house, everything has been thought of to satisfy guests' needs. Would definitely recommend Umvangazi for a lovely bush holiday, as well as visiting again myself.

Rustig.

Ons het ons verblyf vreeslik geniet. Ek vermoed die personeel se verblyf is basies nie ver agter die huis nie, want hulle het elke aand hulle musiek vreeslik hard gespeel. Aangesien die huis ook naby die een hek is, het mens die personeel aan diens ook hoor praat, hulle praat kliphard.

Restful.

We enjoyed our stay very much. I suspect the staff's accommodation is basically not far behind the house, because they played their music terribly loud every night. Since the house is also close to the one gate, you could hear the staff on duty also talking, they talk loudly.

Beste Uschi, ons is bly julle het die verblyf geniet en waardeer jul terugvoer. Ons vra ook omverskoning vir enige ongerief die geraas mag veroorsaak het. Ongelukkig is dit buite ons beheer, siende dat die geraas ontstaan vanaf die plaas wat grensende is aan Marloth Park. Ons neem dit wel op met Marloth Park bestuur.

Ongelooflike ervaring en pragtige akkommodasie in die hart van die natuur.

Ons naweek by Umvangazi Rest was alles en nog meer wat ons verwag het. Die huis is pragtig geleë en baie gerieflik. Ons het besoek van vele diere gehad op ons voorstoep en het heerlik in die swembad en rondom die vuur gekuier. Ons sal verseker weer besoek aflê. Dit was 'n ongelooflike naweek vir ons.

Incredible experience and beautiful accommodation in the heart of nature.

Our weekend at Umvangazi Rest was everything and more we expected. The house is beautifully located and very comfortable. We had visits from many animals on our front porch and had a great time in the pool and around the fire. We will definitely visit again. It was an incredible weekend for us.

Fantastiese ervaring na aan die natuur.

Dit was fantasties om die diere van so naby te sien. Die lodge het aan al ons verwagtinge voldoen. Dit is net bietjie ver uit die Kaap, anders was ons definitief meer gereeld daar.

Fantastic experience close to nature.

It was fantastic to see the animals so close. The lodge met all our expectations. It's just a bit far from the Cape, otherwise we would definitely have been there more often.

Wonderlik, stil omgewing. Gasvrye eienaars.

Baie dankie vir 'n heerlike bosveld-rusplek! Ons het elke aand om die braaivuur besoek ontvang van die nagapie -familie, koedoes en rooibokke. Die kinders (ouderdomme 8 tot 15 jaar) het vroegoggend gaan fietsry en 'n absolute fees gehad. Sal beslis weer kom. Die huis is volledig toegerus om 'n gemaklike wegbreek te verseker.

Wonderful, quiet area. Hospitable owners.

Thank you very much for a lovely bush veld getaway! We received a visit from a bush baby, kudu and impalas every night around the fire. The kids (ages 8 to 15) went cycling early morning and had a great time. Will definitely come again. The house is fully equipped to ensure a comfortable getaway.

Die huis is baie raserig.

Dis 'n baie lekker plek om weg te breek, maar dan moet jy glad nie die boonste gedeelte van huis gebruik nie, aangesien dit vreeslik warm (42 grade) was. So ook onder in die leefgedeelte. Daar is geen lugversorging onder in die TV-kamer en kombuis of in ons slaapplek nie. Die plonspoel het darem bietjie lafenis gebied. Die braairooster buite moes ons self skoonmaak. Dit was nog vol vet van 'n vorige braai. Die dun plankvloere was regtig 'n probleem, so ook die meubels wat daar is. Dit was glad nie klankdig nie. Alles het gekraak in die nag en ons kon glad nie bietjie laat slaap nie, wat nog te sê van slaap. Sal definitief nie weer hierdie huis bespreek nie.

The house is very noisy.

It's a very nice place to break away, but then you shouldn't use the upper part of the house at all, as it was terribly hot (42 degrees). Likewise downstairs in the living area. There is no air conditioning downstairs in the TV room and kitchen or in our sleeping area. At least the splash pool offered some fun. We had to clean the grill outside ourselves. It was still full of fat from a previous barbecue. The thin plank floors were really a problem, as was the furniture there. It was not soundproof at all. Everything cracked in the night and we couldn't get any sleep at all, let alone sleep. Definitely will not book this house again.

Umvangazi Rest 's response

Beste Millie

Ons is jammer om te hoor dat julle nie gemaklik was in die huis nie. Dit is ook so dat daar 'n hittegolf deur die land beweeg het met julle aankoms en die tyd wat julle daar gebly het. Dit kon die leefbaarheid in die area glad nie gemaklik gemaak het nie. Daar is nie 'n lugversorger in die leef area onder en op die solder nie maar wel los staande waaiers om te help afkoel. Ons sal wel aandag gee daaraan in die nabye toekoms. Daar is wel lugversorging in die kamers wat baie help daar.

Ons is ook jammer dat die hout meubels nie voldoen het aan julle vereistes nie, ons probeer om die dekor in die huis volgens die Afrika tema te volhou. Die plank vloere is volgens standard bou praktyk gedoen en ons kan nie n opinie gee oor die klankdigtheid van die huis nie.

Ons waardeer die opregte terugvoer en sal ons bes probeer om te verbeter op die kommentaar ontvang.

Taryn
