Very nice find… beautiful stay save for no AC … ceiling fan but still extremely hot even with windows open. I am normally cold. And this room was really hot! Still a great place for sleeping and relaxing. Breakfast was definitely excellent. I’d stay again.

Wir haben uns in der Marula Lodge sehr wohl gefühlt. Wir wurden herzlich vom deutschsprachigen Gastgeber empfangen, der uns zahlreiche Tipps und Informationen für unsere Weiterreise auf der Garden Route gegeben hat. Die Unterkunft ist sehr liebevoll gepflegt mit einem schönen großen Garten inklusive Pool und Grillstelle. Die Zimmer sind sehr detailliert und liebevoll eingerichtet und mit allem ausgestattet, was man benötigt. Das Frühstück war sehr reichhaltig und wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt.
