    Everything about the property makes you feel like home away from home. A very luxurious touch but still functional. Paul and Les really thought about a lot of things to make this place a home.

    We loved everything about the property, we loved the pool the most. It was very hot and the pool kept us cool. Paul is a GREAT host, we applaud his communication and recommendation for activities around the area. We went on a beautiful sunset game drive also recommended by Paul- we enjoyed every moment of our stay

    N/A

    Terrapin seems small in the pictures but the abundant amount of natural light coming in from all directions makes it spacious and cosy. The unit is quite private despite the lack of physical boundaries with the neighbourhood (fences or walls) but nature plays a big role in covering up the space with a dense native vegetation. Attention to detail and high quality fixtures/appliances adds up to the luxurious feel and the hosts ensure enough information is provided upon arrival. Would I ever return? Absolutely, this was one of the best experiences I had in a long time.

    Nothing, everything is beautiful

    The studio is a work of art and secluded. You have to see it for yourself, the pictures don’t do it justice. The wildlife roam freely and they are so friendly. The highlight of our stay, was the close interaction with the Zebra’s and the Impala’s, which was such a fulfilling experience. Paul is an exceptional host and assisted us with whatever we required. The was a minor issue with the solar power the first night, and Paul responded swiftly and solved the problem in the best way possible (much appreciated😁) This studio is perfect if you want to be close to Kruger National Park, you will be provided with all the info regarding game drives. If you are into cycling, you can hire mountain bikes to explore Marloth Park (enquire about the bike rentals) Do check out their other properties, “Ochre house” and “Next door Kruger”😁 Thank you Paul & Les for making our stay memorable!

    Nothing except that we had to go back home. This place is great😊

    Let's start with Paul...what a beautiful soul. From the moment we booked, giving us useful info to the day we arrived, he spent so much time guiding us, and we felt at home. When we needed assistance, he was there in less than 2 minutes🤗. Everything about this place is great, and the design is beautifully done with the solar system, so there is no issue with loadshedding. We loved the friendly animals that visited every morning and evening. The deck/patio is great for relaxing, it has a beautiful intimate pool and braai area with all supplies included, you can also dine there. The kitchen has all the appliances a self-catering home needs. The bedroom has a king-size bed that is very comfortable, and there's a fan and aircon. The bathroom has a walk-in shower and a hairdryer. If you need to get away from the city, Terrapin Studio will make you forget your own home. There is so much to explore, book for yourself😊.

    The bed was a little uncomfortable

    I loved the warm welcome from the hosts. The recommendations & sense of safety. The house is beautifully decorated and fully equipped. There was adequate lighting for late night swims, wood for braais and pellets to feed the animals.
