De gastvrijheid van Monika en Dave was super , je voelde je gelijk thuis. We hebben genoten van de mooie locatie, het geweldige diner wat elke avond weer een prettige verrassing was. De oprechte aandacht was hartverwarmend. De nabijheid van het Marakela park is ook absolute aanrader.

Welcoming and homely stay

10.0

We had a wonderful stay at Marula. Dave and Monica treat their guests like guests in their home and makes for a very personable and memorable experience. They are just about 10 minutes from Marakele and I can recommend their excellent dinners. Will happily stay here again

Wonderful hosts who are so welcoming and go out of their way to make sure you feel at home. Beautiful views from my room. Felt like I was on holiday for the night even though I was there for work. Hope to be back soon

Merveilleux merci

Le séjour fut une bulle de réconfort dans la brousse sud-africaine. Monika et Dave ont été extrêmement soucieux de mon confort et de l'organisation de mon séjour. J'ai voyagé seule, mais j'ai pu observer les oiseaux, faire des safaris et même de la randonnée avec Dave, qui m'accompagnait chaque jour. Chaque soir, j'ai partagé de somptueux repas éclairés à la chandelle, dans une ambiance chaleureuse et entourée de personnes attentionnées. Si vous souhaitez conserver votre indépendance, on vous la laissera volontiers. Mais si vous avez besoin de compagnie, les deux hôtes se feront un plaisir de vous accompagner dans toutes sortes de sorties. L'emplacement est très isolé, mais cela fait du bien de se couper de tout pendant quelques jours. Vous n'en ressortirez que grandie ! Merci pour tout Dave et Monika, je n'oublierai jamais cette magnifique parenthèse.
