Beautiful views and lovely accommodation. We had a lovely time at Croc's Nest. The views are lovely and the pool is perfect for a cool off.

Peaceful stay in a bush setting. We loved the house and its location next to the river. Joan was very helpful when we needed extra blankets.

Spectacular views. Comfortable and extremely relaxing space to be in! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wished we could stay an extra few nights! The accommodation is beautifully decorated and everything works well. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The host was great and prompt with her responses. The view from the unit is spectacular. Will definitely book again in the future!

Nice peaceful getaway in the forest. A very well appointed house with everything you could need. Beautiful views from every room, a very nice porch, upstairs and downstairs. Saw lots of wildlife, will definitely stay there again.

Calm atmosphere. We had a great time, the time was just too short. Kudus, warthogs and bushbucks came to ask for food, they are very tame. The night owls were also there every evening. The swimming pool was a wonderful relief in the heat!

Quiet & well appointed house has amazing views over the river and Kruger. We had a great time in the area, the house has amazing views over the river and all the amenities you need. Lots of well appointed bathrooms and the kitchen is perfect. Good WiFi available on all floors and braai area. The "Amazing Kruger View Restaurant" is amazing and a must for sunset drinks and prawns for dinner!

A very pleasant and positive experience with immaculate views over the river. We only stayed 2 nights. Our host was very friendly and helpful. The view is the best of all the places we have stayed in Marloth over the past 25 years. The house has everything that one needs and there are roof fans and AC in the rooms. It was a positive experience and we will most probably return to Croc's Nest in future.

Disappointing. For that price expected something better. Broken toilet seat, showers and bathroom light. Torn, unironed bedding had to be replaced; sheets still with oil stains. Shower mats were dirty. View obstructed by trees.

Hi Estie, sincere apologies that we didn't meet your expectations. We have taken all your feedback on board and will be sure to make improvements. In future, please allow the maintenance staff access to repair anything that's needed, seeing as we weren't able to make repairs on the Sunday before you arrived. Thanks and kind regards, Joan
