Our stay was absolutely exceptional from start to finish! The property was spotless, beautifully maintained, and even better than the photos. It had every amenity we could possibly need, making our stay incredibly comfortable and stress-free. The host was outstandingly friendly, responsive, and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Their hospitality truly made us feel welcome. The attention to detail throughout the property was impressive, and it was clear that a lot of care had gone into creating such a wonderful space for guests. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely beautiful. Tucked away in the bush. Upstairs braai and pool are a real treat. Aircons and fans, lots of thoughtful touches. Excellent stay. Loved the gym. Highly recommend for a home-away-from-home bush retreat. Shops within a 1.5km walking distance.

Had an amazing stay; we felt really safe as 2-woman solo travelling and got to see lots of giraffes, impalas, and zebras right by the house. The grocery store is 3 mins away, and restaurants as well. Would definitely stay again; the team was great as well!

The villa is simply amazing, tastefully decorated. We immediately feel good there. The neighbours are also very welcoming: zebras, giraffes, warthogs, antelopes... come to say hello to us every day ☺️ A magical and unforgettable experience. The house is located in Marloth Park, and that was a huge surprise for us. The surroundings are absolutely stunning: the locals are lovely, the calm is omnipresent, and nature is all around us. We live in total harmony with it. The silence, the animals roaming free, the atmosphere... everything gives the impression of living right inside Kruger Park. Mondray was exceptional from start to finish. He organized all our safaris and gave us wonderful advice. The house was cleaned every day, which was very much appreciated. He was very helpful and extremely supportive, far beyond what was expected. We recommend this villa without a second thought!

The villa was absolutely amazing, and we enjoyed every minute of our stay there. As people who are from a busy city, our stay was the perfect escape. The property itself was very clean, well-kept, beautifully decorated, and had great surroundings with incredible views. Mondray and his team were great too, assisted us with bookings of our activities, were very responsive, and made us feel very comfortable. And our special friends, Warthogs,Kudus,zebras and giraffes paid us a visit. If you want an unforgettable and comfortable bush escape, I will definitely recommend it. I cannot wait to visit again.

Amazing hospitality, great host! The house is wonderful, and pictures do not do it justice; it’s very clean and spacious. As a plus, you might be able to see some wild animals from the house. (We saw giraffes from our balcony)

Highly recommend!!

Absolutely wonderful stay in a fantastic home. Conveniently located near the Kruger Crocodile Bridge entrance.

Best Airbnb we have stayed in. Mondray and Westline were amazing. They were super communicative, sent many local recommendations and booked us our game drives. I couldn't recommend this property and team enough!!! The property is perfect; we're located and have everything you need to make sure you have a wonderful stay. It felt like we were in a 5-star lodge. Don't think about booking it, just book!

Carsten

February 2026

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

The house is perfect. Great facilities and right in the middle of Marloth Park. The staff is super friendly, helpful, and always available. Great beds. Nice terrace.

Tamina

January 2026

Contact will be made before arrival, and information will be provided to aid better planning. We were also able to book the safari directly through the accommodation and can highly recommend this! There is a huge kitchen with a dining table; everything is fully equipped. There is also a washing machine and dryer! There are three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom; the master bedroom also has a bathtub and an outdoor shower. If you had any questions or problems, you could contact the owner directly and were therefore in good hands. The accommodation also provides food for any pets such as bushbucks, zebras or kudus. The accommodation can be secured with an alarm system, so we felt very safe!

Mayra

February 2026

Amazing Kruger Nights!

Everything - the house was super clean and comfortable. Air cons as well as (high-tech) ceiling fans in all internal areas were perfect, and a fully equipped kitchen was fundamental. Bathroom amenities and bedroom linens were also really good. Location is conveniently close to shops and restaurants - definitely recommend for anyone staying at Marloth Park. The photos show the property exactly as it is, and it still exceeded our expectations. Plus, points for the wildebeest and impalas that showed up for a visit during our stay! 🙂

The lodge and the location are stunning. Just as described, but experiencing it in person is 100% better. So tranquil, peaceful, and full of wildlife. A very unique, special place. Mondray and his team are wonderful, supportive, and proactive. Always there for you, whatever you need. Cannot recommend or compliment enough.

Bonolo

January 2026

The place was more than what’s shown on the internet; it felt just like home. We loved that the host was considerate enough to offer us basic condiments, went the extra mile for us, and even offered a complimentary car wash. We would definitely recommend the place to our friends.

Ollie

Alindile

November 2025

I spent my birthday weekend here with friends, and it was absolutely incredible. The place is quiet, stylish, and thoughtfully designed, exactly what we were looking for.

The furniture and finishes are on point; everything feels premium and well put together. The villa is spotless, the linen fresh and luxurious, and the spaces flow beautifully from indoors to outdoors. The private pool and firepit made for perfect sunset moments, while the gym setup was a great bonus for those early morning workouts.
We couldn’t have asked for a better stay; the photos don’t even do it justice. Highly recommend this villa for anyone looking for a peaceful, modern escape with a touch of luxury.

Best property by far in Marloth, will definitely go back!!

Loved everything about this place! Excellent communication from Westline, always on top of everything, thank you! The layout and decor of the property is excellent! Outdoor baths and shower 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 Absolutely in love with Umkhaya!!! Attention to detail and cleanliness of the house were spot on. Feeding the Zebras from the palm of your hand was something you don’t get to do everyday, that was pretty cool!

Happiness

October 2025

We had a great time, the place was amazing, and I couldn't find any faults in the house. Mondray was such a great host, checking on us during our stay and also our activities. Mondray also organised a private chef and spa massage according to what we wanted; we just paid. Thank you for your hospitality. I highly recommend this place.

Shaheen

Doreen

September 2025

Too bad it was only 4 days!

Chelesa Luxury Villa was a super nice home for 4 adults and 2 children for 4 days. The house is very large and has a very good layout. The outdoor area is very nicely laid out and is particularly well designed for families. The animals passing by are great to watch.

Johan

September 2025

We had an absolutely fantastic time staying at this property in Marloth Park. The house itself was beautiful, spacious, and very well-equipped — perfect for a relaxing and comfortable getaway. What really made the experience special was the incredible wildlife. We felt completely safe throughout our stay, and were thrilled to see a variety of animals wandering freely around the property. Zebras, kudu, warthogs, and even giraffes came right up to the house — it felt like we were living in the middle of a wildlife documentary! If you’re looking for a unique experience close to nature without compromising on comfort, this place is a gem. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a peaceful, unforgettable bush escape. We’ll definitely be back!

Mahendra

September 2025

The family were blown away by our experience, making visiting the Kruger Park superfluous!

Clear instructions were sent to me on messaging.

Marten

August 2025

Highly recommended!

Layout of the house in combination with the garden. Good view, lots of game up to the fence so close but don't come to your table. Invites you to spend a lot of time outdoors. The house itself is modern and fully equipped. The service is excellent; they go the extra mile.

Daniela

August 2025

The house is beautiful and very clean. We were able to feed animals such as zebras, kudus, and warthogs right from our homes. Excellent location for visiting Marloth Park and Kruger. Our contact, Westline is fantastic; She was always available for any of our requests and helped and advised us throughout our holiday. We felt really pampered. Thanks, Westline! I would definitely come back and recommend it to everyone!

Mandy

We had a very nice stay at this villa. The villa is modern and beautifully decorated. Nice beds and spacious bathrooms. The location is really great. We have had visits from giraffes, kudus, impala, warthogs and wildebeests. Very special that they walk around your terrace like that.

Jorg

Top accommodation where you can truly have a memorable Kruger experience!

Beautiful and luxurious accommodation where everything is available to create a memorable Kruger experience. A villa we would definitely return to. Right on the edge with a view of the crocodile river where wild animals can always be spotted. Wood for the barbecue is already available, every day room service for housekeeping, personal reception and even a free car wash service. Top

Ruud

August 2025

Awesome!

Actually, everything. There is literally nothing to complain about. After driving the bumpy road and you arrive at the house and the door is opened for you it seems like a fairy tale. Also special thanks to Westline and Mondray. Absolutely amazing.

Yannick

July 2025

Our stay with Chelesa will always stay with us…

Everything… the picture was complete. From personal check-in to personal check-out. The accommodation was equipped with all amenities, the animals show themselves daily and the host provided us with all the necessary information. There was communication about the time of the daily cleaning and also the communication prior to our stay was perfect.

Remco

Vivianne

July 2025

We had a very pleasant stay in Marloth Park, and Mondray was a thoughtful host from the first contact. Communication was clear and effective, and he was available whenever necessary. The house corresponds to what was described: comfortable, well-equipped and inserted in a quiet natural environment — ideal for those looking for rest and connection with nature. Check-in was simple and the overall experience was positive. I recommend Mondray as a trusted agent for stays in the area.

Angelsea

This place is more than a stay, it's a magical experience. With those amazing floor-to-ceiling windows, you’ll feel like you’re right there with nature, enjoying delightful close-up visits from animals. The space is stunning, cozy, and has everything you need. Our host Mondray and team were incredibly accommodating, offering exceptional care and professionalism. This is the best Airbnb experience I've ever had, and I can't wait to recommend it to family and friends.

Maserole

June 2025

Perfect house, perfect location, worth the drive and definitely matches value for money. 5 star isn’t enough to rate how amazing this place is. Mondray and his team were very kind, welcoming and jolly. I wouldn’t mind coming back here again! What a beautiful weekend we had 👌

Norman

June 2025

Mondray & Westline was exceptional. Made a self catering experience feel like 5 stars. Hats off to great service.

Lewis

May 2025

This was the best stay and experience I’ve ever had in an airbnb! This property is phenomenal and serene and allows once to escape to an environment with peaceful tranquility. Mondray was an excellent resource throughout the stay, setting up the day and night game drives along with the private chef who was also wonderful.

The property was very modern with every amenity that you would need. Waking up to giraffes, impalas. Kudus, wildebeest and warthogs, what more can you ask for? 5/5 highly recommended stay and worth the price! Great for a couple, solo or even a group. If you’re a writer/creative this is an awesome place to escape if you’re facing any creative blocks!

June 2025

A magical and unforgettable bush escape where wildlife roams at your doorstep, the hosts go above and beyond!

Absolutely unforgettable. That’s the only way to describe our stay at Chelesa. If I could give it 6 stars, I would. From the moment we arrived, it felt like we had stepped into a private wildlife sanctuary. Zebras, impala, and kudu literally wandered up to our back door. At one point, we were standing in the kitchen and could almost reach out the window to touch a zebra it was that close. Watching them roam freely through the bush, sometimes just metres from where we sipped our morning coffee, was something we’ll be talking about forever. The location is absolutely phenomenal. You're immersed in nature, surrounded by the wild landscape of Marloth Park The road in is a bit bumpy but that's just part of the adventure, and well worth every single jolt for what awaits at the end. The hosts were exceptional. Westline, via WhatsApp, made everything seamless. She was responsive, helpful, and kind, whether it was fine-tuning our itinerary, booking experiences, or just answering questions! Then there’s Mondray, who met us on arrival and was the warmest, kindest human. He showed us how to use everything on the property (including how to safely feed the animals with the food pellets provided) and even gave me a spontaneous lift after a massage, talk about above and beyond! Daily housekeeping was an unexpected surprise, we weren’t expecting it at all, but it was such a lovely luxury in the middle of the bush. During our stay, we packed in a full-day safari in Kruger, a sunset safari, and quad biking - each organised effortlessly through Westline, and each one an experience in its own right. The guides were brilliant, the wildlife sightings were breathtaking, and the quad biking added a perfect bit of adrenaline to the mix. Honestly, I’ve nearly run out of superlatives to describe this place. It was magical, peaceful, exhilarating, welcoming, luxurious, and authentic—all at once. Chelesa is a rare gem, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

It's perfect for anyone looking to unwind and escape the noise of daily life. Everything was 👌, comfortable, and thoughtfully arranged, creating a truly relaxing atmosphere.

Umkhaya Villa was absolutely amazing. My family and I loved every minute of it. The place is so peaceful, especially when you coming from a busy city you’ll appreciate the nature and quietness. we had local friends visiting us daily, the likes of your warthogs, zebras, giraffes and spring Boks. We Will definitely be back. Not to forget the amazing host Mondray, he really loves his job, very communicative and friendly. In my opinion I’ll give umkhaya villa 10/10🙂

What a wonderful place and experience!
You know it’s an amazing stay when Mondray asks you if there is anything that we didn’t like and we had 0 complaints!
Clean, up to date, great location, great rooms, incredibly tasteful furnishings and pretty much everything you need from a gateway.

If I could have put 11/10 I would have!

Everything was perfect!! I liked everything about this property. I have never seen an establishment as well equipped as this. The house is beautiful I could live there all my life.. a modern house from the outside as well as from the inside, there is not one thing I needed I didn't find, it was just amazing there is everything in it. The host Mondray is extremely welcoming and kind. From the house you could see a lot of animals walking around and playing was amazing. Really My whole experience at this establishment deserves more than 10/10. It was perfect! Thank you Kruger Night ❤️

This was such a magical and peaceful gem to find. A huge thank you to Mondray and his team who went above and beyond. The house is safe, secluded and every bit of comfy and luxury. We had the most wonderful experience from the time we arrived. The house is scattered with thoughtful amenities and ultra peaceful surroundings. Everything exceeded our expectations and lent to an unforgettable holiday. I cannot recommend this home away from home enough. Only a 20 minute drive away from crocodile bridge or a 20 minute walk to a viewing spot alongside the crocodile river, what a luxury! Thank you, we will be back again soon!

Breathtaking!!

It was breathtaking! The house is only a few years old so it feels very very new. It is modern and yet feels like home away from home. It is very clean and neat. New furniture, modern fittings. The kitchen is well equipped and there is a washing machine. The rooms are amazing, especially the master bedroom. There is a huge shower, a bathtub and an outside shower. (You have to use the outside shower, it is magical). The two other rooms also have separate bathrooms, so for a group of 6 absolutely perfect. The cherry on top of course is the animals that come greet you in the morning, we loved feeding them. Zebras, Kudus, Bushbuck, Warthog, they all visited. It was Marvelous and we will be back 100%. It was the best stay ever.

The house is very spacious, very well maintained. Contemporary decor. Well equipped. Very close to the Crocodile River. The management team is very available. Fabulous environment. The animals are there around the house: impalas, phacocheress, zebras and even a giraffe in front of the front door.

Laura

October 2024

Thanks a lot, Mondray! We had a great time. A lot of animals came to us (giraffes, zebras, kudus, warthogs, etc.) We would have liked to have stayed longer. Mondray even booked us a safari and was really very helpful. The accommodation is about 30 min. From Kruger National Park by car. An absolutely fantastic place to stay that we already miss.

Thank you for an unforgettable stay at Marloth Park! The villa was beautiful, offering the perfect balance of luxury and nature. The peaceful surroundings, incredible views, and the thrill of watching wildlife visit right outside were beyond amazing. The outdoor bathtub and shower made the experience even more special, and the braai area was perfect for relaxing evenings. It was truly a slice of paradise, and I can’t wait to come back!

Jennifer

October 2024

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Akasha Villa in Marloth Park. From the beginning, our host, Mondray, was incredibly helpful, guiding us seamlessly through the booking process for Kruger. I don't have enough characters to properly recommend this home and Company. The villa exceeded all expectations, even surpassing the stunning photographs online. It was perfectly equipped with everything we needed for cooking, with beautiful, comfortable beds and luxurious linen. The outdoor shower were a special touch, and the whole house was designed to give breathtaking views of the animals and the gorgeous sunsets. Mondray was always available to assist with any bookings or information we needed, making our stay even more enjoyable. We saw so many beautiful animals and birds from the property even Giraffes, Zebra's, Warthogs and different Antelope! We were so sorry to leave and will definitely be returning. Thank you for everything!

Property is very modern. Absolutely loved the details of the property. A really great space to break away from the city life and just disconnect. The wildlife every morning was my favourite part! I loved everything about our stay!

Ellen

October 2024

What a phenomenal place in Kruger. It was our first time to the area, and this 3-bedroom place was amazing. It was bigger and more beautiful than the already stunning photos — well stocked and comfortable beds. Plus the natural beauty and local wildlife cannot be beat. We spent evenings by the campfire and enjoyed barbecuing, too. We saw and heard a ton of nature’s best, and it was an easy drive to the main entrance of Kruger as well as a very short walk to the Crocodile River lookout. Mondray went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. We especially loved his dinner recommendation. There are many options on Kruger, and I would highly recommend this Marloth Park gem.

A relaxing and comfortable stay in a beautiful property!

The house is wonderful. It has everything you need for a luxurious and comfortable stay. Mondray met us at check in and showed us around and suggested places to go in the area for shopping and eating and the team kept in touch with us by WhatsApp throughout the stay to make sure everything was fine. The kitchen and braai area are well equipped and even some extra little touches like salt and oil which wasn’t expected, the beds are super comfortable and the outdoor pool area is great - we couldn’t resist a dip even though the weather was a little chilly! Everything is clean and tidy and regularly serviced. The setting is so relaxing and tranquil. We had many little visitors (kudu, giraffe, wildebeest, warthog, bushbuck) and it was great for birding too! We hope we can come again soon!

The facility is beautiful, very spacious and has great facilities e.g. pool and outdoor shower. The hosts are friendly, caring and very helpful. They thought of everything a guest might need e.g. baby cot, baby feeding chair, washing machine, dryer etc. Definitely a family friendly facility. The house is fully equipped, even has a small office if you need to do a little work or studying. The pool is great, the kids loved it. We had a lovely braai and enjoyed meals on the patio. We enjoyed the board games too. It's walking distance to the lookout point along the river where we saw buffalo, large herd of elephants, giraffe, zebra. Was also nice seeing the game at your doorstep!

Giselle Daiana

We had a great stay in Marloth Park, less than 30 minutes from Kruger Park (Crocodile Bridge Gate). The place is so nice that it's really worth staying at home to relax. We were visited by various birds as well as some warthogs and antelopes who were around our house. Contact with host was very straightforward and we got good tips for restaurants & game drives nearby.

Marche

The property is located in a peaceful environment and what was a bonus for us was that there were a lot of different types of animals that came up close to the house.

We had a wonderful family stay (couple with a 4-year-old) at this beautiful villa in the heart of Marloth Park. Although the place already seems very good through the photos we found it even better in real life. We were lucky enough to receive the visit of several animals in the garden (antelopes, koudous, zebra, warthogs, a giraffe, etc.). Thanks to Mondray for his hospitality and impeccable service.

Himabindu

August 2024

Our stay at this home was incredible. Peaceful and stress free. It was clean, beautifully decorated and straight in the bush… so wildlife visited us…Mondray helped us book our safaris and helped us with hiring a private chef. Super helpful with anything you need and responsive. From check in to check out it was hassle free. We recommend this home and the host to anyone looking to stay outside Kruger.

Raquel

August 2024

It's a amazing house!!! The facilities are amazing, the outside space speechless. A barbecue, pool and animals that come to visit and that you can see from the house. Recommended 100%! The staff at all times and from days before asking us and super attentive.

The place was not only extremely beautiful but also impeccably clean, with every corner spotless, making it a delight to stay there. Mondray was incredibly helpful, always checking up on us and ensuring we were comfortable. It was one of the best stays of our lives, not just because of the wonderful hospitality but also because of the amazing wildlife experience. So many animals came right up to the house, creating unforgettable moments for my family and me. We truly had the best time ever, surrounded by nature in such a pristine environment.

A great welcome, every day a small message to know if everything is good. The house is superb very well equipped and comfortable. The outside is sublime, and we can feed the animals (only in winter) with the granules provided for grazing. The house is in the Marloth park in which there are many animals, and we are 20min away from Kruger by car.

Dineo

July 2024

From the moment of the booking, upon arrival and during our stay, Mondray has been helpful, super-responsive and friendly. The place was absolutely stunning, clean, smells fresh, giving aesthetics, comfortable bedding and living room, it was very easy to rather stay indoors. The environment was so peaceful, spotting game whilst relaxing by the pool. It’s a pity we did not use the pool because whilst the weather was very warm, the water was icy, nonetheless, still great for winter travel and the views gave us great content. They’ve got board games too which was great. In case you forgot something, their Spar is 5 minutes away and at standard prices. Overall, ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!!

What an absolute gem of a place. Being surrounded by nature is definitely different but, with the space we were provided with at Akasha, it was all worth it. Mondray and his colleagues were absolutely lovely, and they kept to their schedule as communicated. Mondray was in constant communication with us. Oh, we cannot forget the house. What a gorgeous place. We were left speech less. We would definitely recommend staying at Akasha, you will enjoy it.

Absolutely incredible stay, the villa is absolutely breathtaking and looks exactly like the advert. The home was spotless from top to bottom, and very high-end finishes.

We had an amazing stay, perfectly located perfect house, very beautiful and clean. The owner of the property is very friendly, and the staff as well. I have never experienced such love. We really love the place. Wow, I recommend couples to go and visit Akasha Kruger Nights. You won't regret it. It's a perfect place for couples to have fun and be romantic as well. I'm blown away.

This has to be the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at. Our host helped our group with all of our plans for our stay in Marloth Park. He helped us arrange things from airport transfers to Panorama tour to a gorgeous private cooked meal from a professional Chef. The house was remarkable clean and had everything that we needed. Our group can be high maintenance, and this place checked off all of our boxes. We enjoyed the pool and bonfire while animals walked by eating the food the host left for us to feed them. The gorgeous outside shower was so nice to use especially during the sunsets. Our host was always available and responded quickly. We were very sad to leave as this trip surpassed our expectations, but I will be back to stay at this gorgeous house!

A gem in Marloth Park!

Umkaya is one of the best villas to stay! Everything was just perfect! The layout of the house has been well thought out and you can tell. The statement, less is more, certainly applies here. On the lovely terrace we enjoyed the coming and going of all kinds of animals such as, zebras, impalas, giraffes, wildebeest, pumbas and so much more… In front of the terrace the bushes are not covered, so you have a wide view. Also, a shout out to Mondray who was very helpful during our stay! Don't hesitate to book this villa!

A little corner of paradise

Everything is perfect! The house is beautiful and very clean. Everything is extremely well thought out and the house is perfectly equipped (kitchen, bathroom...). The environment is very quiet and there are many animals around the house 🤩 a real paradise!

Marc

Unforgettable, a piece of paradise.

Mondray was the most magical host you can imagine! Always 110% on our side - from tips on stopovers on arrival, organization of safaris and excursions on site to asking if we had landed well in our home again. The pictures do not live up to the reality, the accommodation is in truth even more beautiful and leaves nothing to be desired. Highlight is the huge terrace with pool, from which you can feed the animals of the park with the food provided. Perfect for both couples and families.

We had a great experience, the home is exactly as advertised, Mondray was a very responsive host. The home had all of the conveniences necessary with lots of nice touches and loadshedding was a non-event with the backup power…A fantastic restful trip for my family.

Max

March 2024

We absolutely loved our stay here and will be back again, the house is beautifully done and had absolutely everything you might need for a relaxing getaway. Mondray was really lovely and good chat. This is arguably one of the most luxurious places you can stay within Marloth Park. power…A fantastic restful trip for my family.

Zoe

March 2024

The property exceeded our expectations. Right from the start, our host, Mondray came to the property to welcome us and give us a tour of the property. Everything is so well thought out, from the wind screen behind the outdoor grill area to the wood provided. Every room has an AC unit, so we stayed cool even though it was a hot time of year. The property was cleaned every day during our stay and nothing we needed was too much trouble. Mondray continually checked in with us and kept us updated on anything we needed to know, such as the load shedding schedule. We saw many animals from the property such as warthogs, bushbucks and zebra! If we are ever back in Kruger, we will be sure to stay here again! Thanks for an amazing trip!

Tree - top Penthouse in the bush

We spent a wonderful time at the "villa" in the middle of the bush. The location is wonderful - embedded in nature. You feel like you're in the treehouse... safe and "above things". You are so close to the animals... we had visitors every day of curious kudus, Bushbucks, Warthogs, Wildebeest, duiker and much more and we enjoyed this proximity to nature every day. The team from our host Mondray came every day to clean the rooms, linens, towels, kitchen, dishes, outdoor grill, fire pit, fresh wood... the service could not have been better. I just asked for a water hose to rinse my vehicle off the game drives... Mondray immediately organized a comprehensive wagon laundry. Mondray is a service professional. He's there when you need him... and otherwise stays discreetly in the background. We loved it so much that we changed our travel plans and will spend another week here in three weeks. We're looking forward to it!

Bush Break Dream

This place is what bush dreams are made of! The villa is phenomenal with it screaming of pure luxury. It is 100% private and has animals walking right up to the pool. Every detail has been carefully thought of and the host Mondray is exceptional! Mondray can put you in touch with ladies that come to the villa for the couple massages which is the best way to start off your stay. It is by far the most amazing establishment that we have ever visited with my wife wanting her dream home to look like this. Aircons are a dream and pool is crystal clear. The unit is spotless and has every amenity that you could wish for. A full kitchen set up including basic spices and oil. You could easily stay here for a week and still not want to leave. We cannot wait to return!

It makes every other self-catering unit seem lacking. I fear I will never find this level of excellence again anywhere else.

Luxury meets wilderness

The accommodation is located in the middle of Marloth Park, where you can see animals in the garden. The furnishings are perfect and you have everything you need. The host Mondray is the best. Very accommodating and welcoming. We felt completely comfortable!

Lesedi

February 2024

The property is modern, spacious and made us feel like we were at home. It had extras like washing machine, inverter to keep the lights on during load shedding and spices. Mondray went an extra mile by taking us through the property, explaining several things about the area and kept us updated with load shedding schedule.

 

Henk

February 2024

Wat een mooie locatie, wel een beetje een uitdagende weg om er naartoe te rijden, (maar dat is zeker doenbaar met een gewone auto zonder 4x4) Bij aankomst werden we al opgewacht door de koedoe in de tuin samen met zijn vrienden (Varkens en impala's) Het huis,..... prachtig en heel erg smaakvol ingericht. Alles was aanwezig om er een perfect verblijf van te maken. en natuurlijk... slechts op 20 min rijden van de ingang van Kruger nationaal park.

 

Collins

February 2024

What a stunning home! We’ve stayed in Marloth many times and this home is the best we’ve stayed in by far. You’ll find this home to be a level above - modern, extremely well designed, but still of its place. I cannot recommend this home highly enough! And when combined with Mondray’s sterling service and personable demeanor - wow! Book today.

Unforgettable

We had an exceptional stay, from A to Z! Mondray prepared us a tailor-made itinerary, according to our wishes and expectations and it was just perfect! We contacted through WhatsApp before we arrived, and were able to prepare our planning together. The villa was just beautiful, super clean, equipped, even in the smallest detail... We were able to do several safaris but also Panorama Tour for the Blyde River Canyon. We opted for full board (breakfast, lunch and dinner); everything was left in the fridge in the morning for the day. The food was varied and very good! Mondray is a very nice person, kind, attentive, caring, available, and most of all very professional, he will do everything to make your stay good! I recommend 100%, no negative point to say. The past 5 days exceeded our expectations. Go ahead with your eyes closed, you will love it and you will have full your eyes! It is an unforgettable stay, we sincerely thank Mondray and all his team!

Koketso

The place was extremely beautiful and Mondray was extremely helpful. Always checking up on us, making sure we were fine. My wife and I had the best time ever, definitely going to come again. Best Airbnb I’ve been to.

Yaaseen

January 2024

This may have been the best Airbnb experience I’ve ever had. The house was incredible and we really enjoyed having zebra and buck coming up to our windows. Most notably though, Mondray was highly communicative and helped us with any question we had. He also came to say hello and check if we need anything which was a great touch. The daily cleaning team was also very friendly. Cannot recommend this place more (or any of Mondray’s other units if they come with the same level of service) for the best time in the bush whether you’re local or a tourist!

Spent a few nights at this gorgeous villa for my birthday. The views are stunning. Had a lot of animals visit our doors

The villa is stunning! Lots of general game moving around the property. I appreciate the thoughtfulness of having braai spices, fresh milk and board games for us. I enjoyed the outdoor bath tubs with hubby! Kitchens is fully equipped.

Alex

January 2024

Betoverend mooie, verwonderende plek met sublieme service!

We werden via de app op de hoogte gehouden van het incheckproces, dat was heel erg prettig. Mondray heeft er alles aan gedaan om ons hier thuis te laten voelen. Zowel met tips als met praktische informatie rondom de loadshedding. Gelukkig heb je hier bij dit verblijf nauwelijks mee te maken. Het huis ziet er qua ontwerp en styling heel anders uit dan andere huizen in Marloth Park. Alles klopte gewoon en we wisten niet waar we het eerst of het laatst moesten kijken en zitten. Zoveel moois op dit prachtige stukje, zo vlak bij Kruger Park. Je wil simpelweg de gordijnen niet dicht doen omdat je de zonsopkomst niet wil missen. En als de eerste dieren zich weer melden, vlakbij het zwembad, dan ervaar je het ene geluksmoment na het andere. Van impala's tot zebra's en zelfs giraffen op de laatste dag. Gewoon met je benen in het water, kopje koffie erbij en genieten. Een televisie is het laatste wat je hier mist. Heerlijk om buiten te dineren, te chillen, een fantastisch 'braai'plek en een geweldige bad- en buitendouche. Ruimte, comfort, een volledig uitgeruste keuken en uitzicht op wat misschien wel het mooiste stukje park is. Wij waren hier graag langer gebleven, maar komen absoluut weer terug. Zelden zo'n geweldig verblijf gehad, mooier dan op de foto's en dat zegt wat.

This property is so modern, it’s Cape Town in Kruger. 20mins drive to Kruger National Park. It has all you need, amazing restaurants at very affordable prices. The pool is on top, it’s by the game park fence. It has back up. Everything inside is modern and classic. The host is amazing, very informative. I’m happy.

Great host and beautiful home. Very peaceful, we spotted a few animals around the house, including Zebras and Giraffes. Functional kitchen and braai area, spacious bedrooms, clean pool and perfect WiFi speed. Solar powered so we didn’t have to worry about loadshedding. There are also dinner places nearby. Overall, we had a beautiful stay, don’t think twice book this place!

There was very good communication pre check in. Mondray was very flexible with check in & out. The place looked better than the photos, exceeded my expectations. It’s a 5-star bush retreat and worth every cent. The property is modern, with beautiful finishings that are aesthetically appealing. The kitchen is well equipped. The personal touches like the outside shower and twin bathtubs were spectacular. I can go on and on but I’ve never been so impressed & satisfied with an Airbnb booking. Thank you Mondray!

10/10 PROPERTY!!!!!!!!! I HAD THE MOST AMAZING STAY AT THIS LUXURY VILLA!! Very tidy and lovely villa equipped with everything you need. A good bed and nice bathroom. Mondray is a great host and there when you need him, very nice and wants to share all he knows about the area. He gave us great recommendations for drivers and things to do! Kitchen is compact and contains everything one needs. We had zebras right at our bedroom window amongst many of other animals. it was truly an amazing experience I can’t wait to visit again!!!!!

luxury huge villa in the middle of the bush, close to Kruger National Park

The almost brand-new house is extremely spacious and looks much more magnificent live than in the photos. We really enjoyed the stay. Extremely tasteful, luxurious, spacious and modernly furnished. There was nothing missing! The host and his assistants were always helpful and approachable. Great air conditioning, which keeps the house pleasantly cool even on extremely hot days. Fully equipped kitchen with gas stove and all amenities. Very comfortable beds. Great bathroom. We were also impressed by the rooftop pool and outdoor shower. The house is located in Marloth Park, about 20 minutes from Crocodile River Gate of Kruger National Park. The host arranged us with a fabulous safari ("Game Drive"). We really lacked nothing. Thank you very much. We can fully recommend the house and the hosts.

Stunning house! We had a lovely stay unfortunately it was too short. Mondray was always there and did a great job making us feel at home. Lots of different spots to hang out, the kids really enjoyed sitting by the reading nook with a book. Highly recommend this place if you want to be close to nature. We will be back Mondray!

We really had an amazing time at Kruger nights- Mondray was a fantastic host, very responsive and friendly. The house is beautiful, looks exactly like the pictures Well equipped, private, upmarket finishes and furniture Just a couple of metres from the river where you have a lovely view over the Kruger Park Highly recommended!!

Perfection in Marloth Patk

The house layout and amenities were amazing. We loved the braai (wood bbq), pool and outdoor fire pit and the location was great. We had no vehicle but the game viewing site was only a short stroll away and kudu, impala, bushbuck, warthogs, baboons, zebra and even giraffe visited us right at the property! Mondray, our host, checked in on us every day and assisted us in stocking our beverages as well as helping us purchase proper feed to have on hand for our “guests”. He was the perfect host! It was perfect. Great lengths have been gone to ensure guests have wonderful visit

Ralf

September 2023

It was an absolute superb stay and would go back any time

Was self-catering, but basics such as tea, coffee, milk, spices, fire wood and cleaning products were supplied. The kitchen was well equipped, including dishwasher and washing machine. Location was great, it was quiet and private. The amenities were suburb and all room big and comfortable. Outside entertainment area great including BBQ area. The host (Mondray) was very friendly and attentive.

We had a wonderful family getaway at Mondray's place. The house is spacious, luxurious and private, exactly as described. The location is perfect in a secluded cul-de-sac and gives the feeling of being immersed in the African bush without sacrificing comfort or convenience. Our kids especially loved the daily visits from the local animals. Kudu, Warthog and Wildebeest to name a few. Mondray is also super responsive and extremely helpful. Highly recommend this space, we will definitely be back.

"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"

Singita

August 2023

"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"

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."

Michel

July 2023

"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."

Elise

July 2023

"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!"

Nina

June 2023

"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!"

Ina

April 2023

"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."

"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."

Pratish

December 2022

"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."

Martin

December 2022

"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 photos don’t do the property justice, it’s an amazing modern place in a lovely setting with amazing facilities.

"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.

"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!!!"

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

February 2023

"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

February 2023

"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."

Moziera

June 2022

“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."

"Mondray was an excellent host, checking in with us on a regular basis! The house is immaculate, ultra modern (a great eye for detail) and soft tones to make your feel welcome and snug. 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"

"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.
