"We had all the necessities in the establishment. Was very clean and the view was beautiful. Waking to such a beautiful nature, you see animals passing by randomly. It was so refreshing. The staff was so friendly and helpful. This is a perfect vacation place, I recommend it."

"I can’t believe we managed to get this place and how amazing the price is for what it is! it’s by far the best place to stay in marloth park! The house is just incredible & the animals we got to see were amazing some days better than the safari, not only was the place incredible but Mondray was so so helpful anything we needed I’d message him and he’d be there straight away, he got us booked in on all the safari days even tho it all was fully booked... so friendly. If and when we come back to South Africa to marloth park we’ll 100% stay here again. Unforgettable experience"

"Had the most incredible stay in this stunning Villa. The photos truly don’t do the place justice, it is SO MUCH more beautiful in person. Incredible views with the friendliest team of hosts. We had our entire villa cleaned every day and Mondray was constantly available whenever we needed him. A huge highlight for me was our villa massage and the Kruger nights game drives which can be booked through Mondray as well. When we arrived, we’d initially booked for 4 nights but immediately contacted Mondray to extend for an extra night purely from how exquisite the villa was. So worth every penny & definitely a peaceful home away from home. Expect everything you’re seeing and MORE. I’ve also created a little reel of the stunning space (@singita_khosa). Truly had the most perfect stay and I’ve been to so many bush villas, this is one of the few on the top of my list. Would definitely visit again"

"This place is spectacular. Even better than the photos. Mondray was very nice and very responsive. And we had wild animals in the backyard every day. My daughter and I followed a giraffe after it walked through the yard. What a great time!"

"Mondray’s place is tranquil and beautiful. it's in a great location surrounded by bush and wildlife. The solar power is well needed and a great addition. I would highly recommend for a stay on Kruger parks doorstep."

Architectural Bush Beauty
"This pristine architectural Beauty was Bliss for the soul and ideally located in Marloth Park. Quiet, away from the main road and all the park visitors like Impala, Zebra, Giraffe, Kudu, Bushbuck, bushpigs, duiker and too many bird species to count. EXCELLENT personal service from the Partners and short of nothing. Will definitely return."

"We are a couple of Brazilians and we stayed in this beautiful house. Mondray showed early on a great concern to serve us perfectly. When we arrived, he was already in the house waiting for us. Very polite, kind and ready to inform us about everything. The house is really spectacular, and personally I found it much more charming than in the photos. The spaces are extremely large and completely integrated with nature. Animals such as buffalo, antelope and even rhinos were easy to spot from the balconies of the residence. The decoration as well as all the other details were carefully thought out. It is a dream home for unforgettable holidays. Everything enchanted us. We will return whenever possible. Thank you so much for everything Mr. Mondray."

"Let me first start by saying that Mondray is an AMAZING host. He answered every question we had with a quick and helpful response. My airline lost my bag and he helped communicate with them to get it delivered for me. The house was spectacular and squeaky clean. Beautifully decorated and designed -worth every penny. We saw so many animals all around the property: zebras, kudu, warthogs, impala, giraffe, wildebeest, etc. BEST AIRBNB IN MARLOTH PARK BY FAR!! Thank you Mondray!!"

"Came to South Africa for a few days and I needed a break from everything and Mondray’s house was the perfect place. Mondray took Sandton and placed it in the bush and I absolutely loved it! The place was everything and more! I was so happy that I didn’t need to leave the house in order for me to see some animals because they were passing on a regular basis outside the house. Absolutely amazing! Thank you so much Mondray. I’m definitely coming back SOON! All the best!"

"Words can't describe the fantastic stay you will have here. The whole experience was just stunning! Mondray is probably the best host we've had on Airbnb. He communicated with us right after booking with him 6 months ago, advising us on which safari to book. He texted me a few days before, giving detailed instructions, and personally greeted us upon arrival. He also checked in with us daily, wanting to make sure we enjoyed every second of our trip! The house is very clean, spacious, well stocked, and all works perfectly. Basic kitchen items, such as salt, pepper, oil, and even coffee, tea, on hand, and milk in the fridge. During load shedding, we went to the local restaurants just a few mins away, and we also used the braai. There is almost more wildlife activity in Marloth Park than in Kruger. All around the property, you see Kudu, Zebras, Wart Hogs, Impala, Giraffes, Nyalas, Bushbuck, Genets, Bushbabies, and Monkeys. It's unreal! Thank you, Mondray, for being such an amazing host!"

"As the FIRST guests to use Akasha Villa, it was an absolute TREAT!!! What a beautiful or gorgeous looking property! We had animals all around the property on a daily basis and it felt like a front row seat on a wildlife excursion but in the comfort of your own house. But it wasn’t just the property that made our 7-day holiday the most special quality time spent together as family… The service from Kruger Nights was something out of this world! From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we were treated as absolute royalty. Thank you to the Team for making our stay the most PERFECT holiday EVER! You guys are doing a marvellous job!! Can’t wait to return to Kruger Nights!!! Much appreciated Johnson Family."

"We had a lovely stay!
We Loved our stay at Umkhaya. A Modern, spacious place that suited us as a family. We had everything we needed to make food, with even a coffee press and condiments available for us to use. Loved the outside patio with braai area and swimming pool. I liked the fact that there was no TV available as it forced you to switch off a bit. We enjoyed watching the animals roam around the property which included Giraffe, zebra, warthog and impala."

"Exceptionally nice and excellently furnished house. Comfortable beds, air conditioning in all rooms, and for the first coffee everything was there. The kitchen leaves nothing to be desired, spices are also available. In theory, housekeeping comes every day, we reduced it to every 3 days. The pool is big and deep enough to swim even 3 strokes. There are many animals coming by every day, who also like to be fed. The huge covered terrace is great. Wifi works perfectly. There is still hot water during power cuts and the gas stove can be cooked. It should be mentioned, even if we did not miss it, that there is no TV."

Exceptional accommodation that we would book again anytime.
The accommodation is awesome. Modern and very well-equipped. You sit while eating or you are in the pool and kudu's, Impala's, warthogs etc pull by. Barbecue corner looks very good too, but could not be used in the short time."

It was indescribably great 3 days, thank you Mondray and his team!
The stay was perfect from start to finish. Mondray and his team are very attentive and always helpful & approachable. The accommodation is in a great location right in Marloth Park. We were lucky to wake up in the middle of giraffes. It was short indescribable and highly recommended!"

Tranquil Wildlife Experience
Everything was superb: the location, the views, the beautifully architecturally designed house, the wildlife, the peace and quiet and Mondray, together with the housekeeping team who looked after us exceptionally well, thank you!
Having to leave Umkhaya is sad after a very special 2 weeks in the bush 😔 We will certainly return."

"Absolutely necessary and brilliant. Will be back.
The place is exceptionally situated in Marloth Park, away from other humming tourists even during the busiest period of the year. No doubt, we will be visiting again. Rooms are spacious. The lack of a TV is a very positive boost for people trying to sneak in a screen-detox. Aircons worked well in the dead of summer. Private safari guides could find the place easily. Condiments are available - meaning you just need to bring raw ingredients to cook on their marvellous gas stove or wood-fired braai. Hosts (Werner and Mondray) we're always available to assist when needed, especially during loadshedding. The place has two gas geysers, meaning loadshedding does not affect cooking and cleaning. One of my all-time favourite airbnb/booking.com stays."

"Fantastic 4 days in the wild. 😊
We enjoyed our holiday to the fullest. Umkhaya fulfilled all our wishes. The area is well designed, modern, stylish, and very clean. The service from Mr. Mondray is excellent, he informs and asks daily for our well-being. We will be back. We will gladly recommend this location and do this ("Thanks Mondray") as a "presentable" location. 👍"

"The house has an absolute sanctuary. Every detail was thought through - from complimentary milk in the fridge when we arrived, to fully equipped laundry facilities - and home office with battery backup for loadshedding. Our family loved everything about the place but my daughter loved the pool the most. You get a sense that this is a holiday home that has been carefully curated. Exceptional service. Beautiful comfortable, spacious rooms. Fantastic family areas. It was a real treat!"

"There is only on word to describe this accommodation: WOW!!!!! Or better to words: Absolutely WOW!!!!!!! If we had known that before, we would have stayed here for more than a week. Thank you for make an extension of our stay possible. But the pictures can’t show that feeling we had here in this lodge. In the midst of the bush where the Impalas, Kudus, Warthogs and so many more say good morning directly to the patio, where we enjoyed our breakfast. There is so much love to detail in this house what the photos can’t describe. The Marloth Park was a perfect location to be part of the nature and near to the gates of Kruger National Park. We are in a family-trip around the world for one year, but this house will be as a very special experience in our memories! Thank you Mondray for this incredible experience and to have the pleasure to be your guests!!!"

Enjoyed the lovely pool and outdoor environment very calming and exactly what we needed! You get the modern house in the bush...best of both worlds! Wifi speed is amazing too! Mondray is an exceptional host, patient and readily available. Can’t wait for our next bush break… will definitely book again and we will recommend this house to all our friends and family❤️the best!"

"Umkhaya was such a delight! I wish we stayed longer. Mondray was the icing on the cake. Very responsive and helpful. The place is a breath of fresh air, plus it’s well equipped so you’ll never not have or need anything. Some animals showed face which was a nice treat. And the rain was lovely. 10/10. 👌🏾"
Dick

"we had a great time! because of the extreme heavy rain in the area our car got stuck on the way up there, we noticed Mondray about our problem and within 10 minutes he was there to help to get our car out, he is a very relaxed and friendly guy. the property itself is what you see in the pictures, it is an amazing place. We were there for 3 nights and it was fantastic. when we walked outside the property we saw giraffes, zebras, warthogs and many other animals. They also clean the property daily (first time we encountered that with airbnb). all in all, this is a great place to stay if you want to see Kruger park and surroundings."
Derrick

"Mondray responded quickly to our requests, and he met us at the front door to let us into the house. The property is stunning. It looks even better than the photos. We had many animal sightings right at the house, and the location is close the Crocodile Bridge gate at Kruger. Our only regret is that we didn't book the house for longer."

Definitely recommend it !!"

"Exceptional. One of those rare properties that is actually nicer in real life than the photos! A new, beautiful villa in the bush with an amazing outside seating. We had lots of animals come to visit (you can buy pellets to feed them at the local shop)- we especially enjoyed seeing the zebras. Mondray was a fantastic host - nothing was too much trouble. You are close to Kruger, and in a luxurious property - what could be better?!"

“Paradise within the Garden of Eden!! Well, all I can say is wow WOW and more WOWs!!! To state that this place is magnificent is an injustice to it! The level of luxury and detail that has been put into this little place of Eden within Eden is exceptional! From the level of cleanliness to the level of comfort to the detail of practicality was just an eye opener to one who has travelled a lot. From the fully modern kitchen to a stunning Boma for the night-time marshmallow roasting while listening to the captivating sounds of the bush, and in summer, the pool to cool off in from the hot dusty drives through the park. The house is open and airy, yet every room is fitted with an aircon unit for the hot days or cold nights. Many times, I mentioned to my wife, "wow! how clever of them to have thought of having this or that in order to enhance our experience here even more" There is even an office for one to do work in if need be! Mondray, the house manager met us with the keys and showed us around. He was super friendly and checked up on us every day to ensure all was ok and if he could do anything to help make our stay be more comfortable. Being nestled in the bush of Marloth Park with no other buildings or human contact around gave us the feeling of being out in the wild. The frequent visits of the local warthogs, Kudu, Duikers and Zebra gave us more of Kruger Park experience staying at Kruger Nights then if we were to have stayed in the actual Kruger Park. I am not one to easily just giving an accommodation a 10/10, but this place honestly deserves a 15/10! My family has high standards for travelling accommodation, so the bar was set very high, and Kruger Nights did not fail to meet this standard! Staying there for 4 days was just not enough. So, we have decided and already booked for our return trip next year again, and we all honesty cannot wait! Thank you Mondray and Kruger Nights for making our stay so memorable!! Not possible to find fault in this place! ”

" It was a 5 star plus, experience in every meaning of the word. From the moment we arrived and was greeted by host "Mondray". and was introduced to this beautiful and fantastic house. Every detail was cared for. From the marvelous indoor facilities, totally silent air conditioners, comfortable beds, the whole furnishment, high quality cutlery and glassware (real elegant and big wine glasses), the cosy braai area, the small but extremely clean pool. We also experienced Impalas, Warthogs and Kudus close-up.I cannot recommend the place enough, and this was the 4th house we have rented during our 3 week SA trip, but the first with a full set of condiments, olive oil, vinegar, and even dish washer tablets. As a family we felt this really was "home away from home". Thanx Mondray!"

"We had an amazing stay at Mondrays Villa. Our expectations were excelled! The Villa has many nice details and everything is thought trough. The kitchen is very well equiped. Mondray was a really helpful and welcoming host, making our stay perfect. And the best of all, we even had zebras, wharthdogs and other animals in the garden. I can only recommend staying in the villa."

Loved the private outdoors shower, entertainment area and view of the wildlife just a stone throw away! You won’t want to leave. We are already planning to visit one of their other sites. Top class and worth it!"

"Umkhaya Villa is a hidden gem in Marloth Park with all the modern day luxury that a family can want. The surrounds are stunning and offer a true bush experience. Late afternoon impala, zebras, giraffe, bushbuck and kudus came to forage. They came so close to the pool that one could touch them if you really wanted to. We also had a little warthog who came around 16:00 every afternoon. Our children affectionately named him "Wardell".
Mondray is the true difference though. He is an excellent host and his expert knowledge of the animals, spiders and insects can put any city slicker at ease.
We will definitely be back"

"We had the best time. The house is amazing. And the Park is very relaxing. Close enough to Kruger to do a short drive with the kids without it being a mission. Wonderful spot."

"Wow, what a beautiful home in the middle of the bush. The house boasts with large rooms and bathrooms, beautiful kitchen that is well equipped and an outside area that makes for the perfect braai space that has a great braai, beautiful pool and boma, dinning area and ample comfortable seating. Talk about chilling in the bush!
Mondray our host was fantastic, friendly and a pleasure to deal with. He was readily available for all our needs and always happy to help.
We will gladly book one of the Kruger Nights houses again."

"This villa was exactly what it looks like and more! The host was extremely kind and helpful, not only that but he had been communicating with us before our trip and throughout our stay. I also loved how we could enjoy the close proximity of the animals and still feel safe and secure.
Don’t think twice! Book this place."
