Maruleng Hotels with Swimming Pools

"An amazing safari lodge, with stunning location, views, great food and accommodation. The "honeymoon" suite is amazing. We saw all the big 5 in two drives! And saw so much wildlife over our trip it was absolutely fantastic, so many sightings every day - thank you Gareth and James, your amazing knowledgeable, friendly manner, your wildlife knowledge, spotting ("leopard man" James) and good humour made the trip! A truly fantastic lodge!"

"This was an absolutely stellar experience! The staff at the lodge were truly wonderful, thoughtful and always ready to help. And the pool was fantastic, situated right next to the watering hole where you could relax and watch wildlife. The food was exceptional, and each meal came with a thoughtful wine pairing. With two game drives a day. Our guide Prem had eagle eyes. The exta bonus evening drive was a nice touch. The entire experience was simply unforgettable. Can’t recommend it highly enough!"

"Had a last minute stay here when my mother in law needed emergency care at the hospital. It’s really the only option when you need to check in last minute and after 10 pm. I can’t say enough about how lovely, accomodating and patient the front desk staff were. The grounds are Lovely, beds super comfy and pools very refreshing. We usually stay in smaller bush b and b’s in Hoedspruit. But if you’re looking for a more luxurious resort style break this place is top notch. "

"The first thing to note was that I was not informed that my room would not be near the lodge. As a solo traveler, that would’ve been very important information to know that I am not near any help if I needed it. In addition, One cannot just leave the log their lodging because you’re located in a nature reserve and it isn’t safe so you’re pretty much a prisoner at your room and you are dependent on somebody picking you up in order to get you somewhere the room itself was fine. The airport shuttle worked perfectly. The staff was hit or miss. The person in charge, Musa, was a very odd fellow. He seemed to stare and was very slow to both move and respond to questions. He did not make me feel at ease in any way, and in my opinion, should definitely not be the face of your property. The rest of the staff, while friendly, were not particularly professional. They asked personal questions and their English was not very good."

"Excellent staff, wonderful room, comfortable bed, beautiful setting."

"Great trips. Great lodging. Good to great food. Great guides who try hard to make sure guests see wildlife."

"A very warm welcome from the team.The tent was cosy, as was the bed on the cold nights. Great to hear the local animals during the night, with wonderful day visits from the ellies."

"This place is absolutely stunning and much larger than I expected it to be. There are 3 large viewing decks so seeing animals at all hours of the day is easy. The staff are so friendly and surprised the guests with a dance and song after a boma dinner. Food also was amazing. "
