We have a passion for hospitality and have been hosting for a number of years in the Garden Route, check out our reviews for Moquini House, Wilderness. Our love for the bush lured us back to the bush haven of Marloth Park, which is also close to our beautiful heritage, the majestic Kruger National Park. We have a hands-on approach, so our guests never feel lost while visiting us. We provide all information needed, and take great care to offer you neat, clean and luxurious accommodation and make your stay as comfortable as possible. We would love to share our enthusiasm for nature and the wild animals with our nature loving guests and help you to make everlasting memories.
Marloth Park is a holiday town and conservancy area rich in wild animals that visit you at your doorstep or on the verandah while you sip on your sundowner drink, including Impala, Duiker and Bushbuck, Kudu, Zebra, Giraffe, Blue Wildebeest and Warthog. It is situated just south of the Kruger National Park, which is the biggest game reserve in South Africa. Here you can be part of our rich heritage, where bush and wild animals are protected in a reserve to be observed and enjoyed for many years to come. Marloth Park is right next to the Kruger National Park, with only a fence and the Crocodile River as border in between and only a 15 minute drive to the Crocodile Bridge Gate. There are many activities to enjoy within Marloth Park: we have our own 1500 Hectare conservancy, Lion Spruit, where you can do a self-drive if your car has enough height clearance, here you could be lucky to spot some lions, rhinoceros and buffalo as well. We also offer Sundowner drives, Bushwalks, Mobile Spa treatments in partnership with an external service provider. The Waterpark at the Bush Centre offers amusement for the whole family. There are well equipped shops for everyday grocery needs, and good meals can be enjoyed at a choice of 6 restaurants.
