Nice Place to be at Kruger Love this Place

Stayed in March 2024

So far our best accomendation is south africa. Beautiful big rooms with a big shower and bathtub. The view over the river into Kruger NP is worldclass. You can spot animals from your balcony. The breakfast and the diner were so so good (thx for the boboti recipe). Very friendly people all over the place. We would like to come again!

Linique & Her Friendly Team made our stay unforgettable!!! We Loved the Delicious Breakfast, Stunning River View with regular visits by Hippos, Buffalo and Buck. Rooms are spacious and perfectly appointed. Viewing Decks are well positioned and comfortable. The Bush Braai in the Boma was a Super Special 👌 treat. We will be back ... 🤎🤎

All was good. The pool was nice for a quick plunge, not a pool to hang out at... but rather enjoy the views from the deck anyway.

Friendly and helpful staff. Lovely, comfortable room. Location was convenient for my one night stay.

Excellent stay. Great diner. Friendly and helpful staff. We can recommend to do a full day safari organised by the lodge.

Pool wasn't fully clean but under the trees so it's hard to make it perfect. Could have pool towels that would make it even better. My friend was not a big fan of the sandwiches for packed breakfast but that is a cultural thing I think.

The friendliness of the staff and flexibility as well as the overview on the river being able to access the pool on a hot day on arrival. Also the details in the room to make the experience unique. It's beautiful

It's an absolutely beautiful lodge with an amazing view. We received great service from the Lodge Manager Linique. She was warm and welcoming and made our stay enjoyable. She ensured that all our needs were met regardless how extreme some may have been. I would love to go back and hope that the policy changes about having kids around.

Cannot find fault with anything.

Absolutely superb. Could not ask for more.

Everything was perfect.

The pictures do not do this lodge justice, it is spotlessly clean and very luxurious. The owners and staff were wonderful and made us feel completely at home. It is well worth making time to sit and relax on the balcony that overlooks the Crocodile River before it gets dark. We saw lion, elephant and buffalo all in one afternoon and enjoyed all the birdlife over breakfast the next day. Thank you for what is definitely one of the best stays we have had in Marloth.

Except for the main road, all the roads in Marloth Park are in terrible condition. We were glad we had an SUV with a bit more clearance. But this is not the fault of the Lodge - nor would it be better at other lodges.

The view! Spectacular view into Kruger Park and Crocodile River: You can literally see hippos from your balcony. We loved the fact that the staff offered homemade and tasty dinner. It saved us lots of time when we were too tired to go out in the evenings after a long day of driving. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Everyone was really sweet and friendly and we got lots of useful travel tips from the owner. The short distance to Kruger Park is also great for early game drives.

We liked everything!

Everything was excellent. We stayed at the hotel for 3 nights from January 25th to January 28th. We were welcomed very warmly. Host helped us organize a morning safari and packed a delicious and hearty breakfast to take with us. When we encountered issues with organizing an evening safari that we were handling independently, the owner promptly resolved our problem. Each evening featured an amazing dinner, and we were thrilled. The rooms are very spacious, beds are comfortable, and the shower has good pressure with warm water. The room had a view of the river, where wild animals frequently visited. The owner offered us binoculars, making the wildlife observation by the river even more interesting.

We found the food, although not unpleasant and certainly plentiful, to be a bit bland and uninspiring. We've enjoyed far more creative meals with more choice at other lodges.

Beautiful site and premises. Manager very friendly and helpful.

If I had my young chidren with me

The pace is excellent for relaxation, I wish they would allow children

The pool could be more inviting.

Our stay was great. Thanks to Wayne and the team. Everyone was so welcoming and helpful. The lodge is beautiful, the rooms are awesome with breath taking views from the deck overlooking the Crocodile river. Breakfast and Dinner was amazing. I have to mention the great steak :-)

Only one thing was negative, we needed to leave... I want to go back!

This lodge is absolutely fantastic! Being a previous vacation home of a South-African family, which has been made available for guests only a few years ago, the quality of the lodge is incredible. From the common room to the bedrooms, this is the kind of place which could be your (second) home in South-Africa which is close to Kruger Park. Located in Marloth Park, just south of Kruger, this lodge is only one of three lodges that has a view over the river. When driving to this lodge this is definitely not what you expect, as it is tucked away in the woods, but once you arrive you will be overwhelmed. The manager (Wayne), who is unfortunately leaving in January, made our stay absolutely perfect. He is very friendly, helping us with everything we need and always available for a nice chat. The rooms are stunning, very spacious and amazingly luxurious. The view from the decks behind the common room, which are next to the private decks of the rooms, is beautiful. During the day and especially during the night you will see and hear various animals. Some even approach the lodge very closely (and are all safe). Saving the best for last: the food. Both breakfast and dinner are incredible. A lot of options and its quality is very very high. The main cook uses her own traditional recipes, and the only problem you will have is lack of stomach capacity. Fortunately she was willing to give us her recipe of the Malva dessert, absolutely perfect!

nothing but our departure

There is actually one big issue about Kruger Private Lodge. The hard fact that you have to leave it again :-) We didn't know what to expect, but what we got was more than perfect. The hosts Carine and Stephanus welcomed us so nicely and we immediately felt at home. A very special and warm-hearted way of hospitality that both embody. The Room (we booked one with view on the River), the interior,.... simply everything was great. We liked it so much that we booked another night straight away. To be honest, we would have booked another night if we hadn't had to go further into Mozambique. The icing on the cake, the staff, Phindilie and all the others. You were absolutely great. Thx for the best food at Marloth and thank you Carine and Stephanus for having us.

Nothing to dislike.

The wildlife, looking across The Crocodile River into The Kruger NP is a true gem in Africa. The hosts, are welcoming and friendly also very helpful. The food, breakfast and dinner (available on request) leave you wanting for nothing else. Even the drive in off the tarmac is a joy for game viewing, a bit bumpy but easily driven in any hire car. All in all a pleasure to stay at. Thank you!
