WELCOME!
We welcome you to Kruger Cottage, a charming thatch-roofed house in a unique area of the earth. The cottage is located in Marloth Park, a buffer zone nestled up to the south edge of the Kruger National Park, South Africas premier game reserve.
NATURE-WATCHING OPPORTUNITIES ABOUND
Marloth Park is a tranquil, gated (secure) but fence-less community that allows game animals to run free amongst the houses which are nestled in the natural vegetation. Located in Mpumalanga Province, Marloth Park is bordered by Kruger on the north, east and west sides, separated only by the Crocodile River and the Kruger boundary fence. It is considered a nature conservancy (no domestic animals allowed) and operates its own private game reserve for guests to enjoy.
The intruiging, life-bearing Crocodile river is a short 100 meter walk from Kruger Cottage, where an extensive walking path situated next to the Kruger southern boundary fence allows you an elevated view of all the wildlife that gathers at the water. Take a morning walk or drive with coffee cup in hand, bring your camera and binoculars and even a folding chair and be ready to see an amazing variety of birdlife, as well as an abundance of larger animals: hippos, wildebeest, crocodiles, warthog and perhaps even rhinos, elephants or lions.
From Kruger Cottage, you can venture into Kruger Park through one of two gates (Malelane or Crocodile), both gates an easy drive of approximately 35 km. Drive in using your own vehicle, or choose a locally guided tour option.
EXPLORE NEIGHBOURING COUNTRIES
If you are looking for variety, Marloth Park is a great base from which to explore Swaziland and Mozambique. Its close proximity to these neighbouring countries (the Swaziland border is about 80 km away, and the Mozambique border even less) allows you to take easy day trips into Swaziland or to the beautiful, warm, unspoilt beaches of the Indian Ocean in Mozambique. Dont forget to bring your swimsuit and snorkel gear!
THE ACCOMMODATIONS
Our Kruger Cottage is a private, self-catering house that comfortably sleeps 6-8. An open floor plan and vaulted thatch roof form a comfortable common area that connects to a large covered verandah, where a splash pool and braai (outdoor barbeque) awaits. This unique house started as a traditional rondaval (circular house), which now constitutes the two smaller guest bedrooms and shared bathroom. Beautifully crafted additions form a fully functioning kitchen which shares a vaulted ceiling with the dining area and living room. The master bedroom has a private (en-suite) bathroom.
Cooling tiled floors throughout lead you to the verandah and pool where you can listen to the sounds of the hippos grunting in the river, the hooting of the owls and other wildlife as you enjoy the evening from the comfort of Kruger Cottage.
Expect to see an abundance of wildlife at closer range than you thought possible. Watch enthralled as zebras, giraffes, monkeys, baboons, warthogs, bushbabies, impala and kudu walk right through your back yard. Rest assured, however, that the dangerous carnivores such as lion, hyeana and leopards as well as elephant, are not present around the houses.
A local shop provides the basic essentials and if you wish to eat at a local restaurant, there are two lodges from which to choose.
Kruger Cottage offers competitive rates. As a self-catering facility, please bring your own linens, towels, and groceries. The house is professionally cleaned once a week; there is no other maid service. A 50% deposit is required at booking, with the remainder payable upon arrival. Payment is accepted in cash or cheque. Check in between 2 to 5 pm; check out by 10 am. Standard breakage fees apply.
