The moment we stepped after a long drive into Turaco Lodge we were embraced by Terry and Trudy like long lost family members. They kindly toured us around, explained everything such as honesty bar, coffee machine and showed us our suite with living room, two bedrooms and ensuite bathroom. Everything was shipshape and when I had a glimpse in Terrie's stock/service room I understood why: there is a very organized, orderly mind in charge. This order showed throughout our stay. Wether a superbly prepared breakfast basket by the staff at 4am ready for game drives, or a neatly braai (traditional SA barbecue) set up with finest south african meat delicacies...it was always ideal. The owner himself, Marcel, a lovable fellow, who takes guest entertainment and their well being seriously, was grilling the outstanding meat to perfection. Terry, Trudy and Marcel shared their fast and in depth knowledge of all animals in the park with us and particularly Terry is a nature enthusiast par excellence. One more issue: Marcel has a good contact for game drives. His name is Dirk Grove and he is one of the most outstanding guides we ever experienced. Very skilled and reliable driver, always on the lookout for animals, well learned about their behaviour and more than lucky to find them. We saw with him a leopard with his kill resting on a thick branch in the shade, 13 rhinos, among them a mother and her calf and a pride of three large male lions and six lionesses gathering up for the nightly hunt in a river bed. A game drive with Dirk is something special! Highly recommended. The lodge patio is regularly visited by the free roaming animals (impala, kudu, zebra, vervet monkeys, bushbabies or Galagos etc) in Marloth park. Lovely sights indeed.

It was the best place I have ever been to. I did not expect such service. All the staff was very friendly. All the staff were like best friends who were constantly worried about us. There were more staff than guests in the lodge. The food was very tasty. The Internet worked reliably and we watched youtube. The Lodge area is very cozy and large. We did not think about anything and enjoyed being in this place. The safari was also great.

Absolutely stunning, beautifully decorated house with everything you need . Great attention to detail, including a packed picnic basket.cooler boxes and a well equipped kitchen. Glen was a brilliant host, ensuring a smooth check in, as well as documenting all information you need to make your stay comfortable. He organised our game drive with Mohletsi - who was brilliant. His knowledge of the bush and wildlife is second to none!

My family and I really enjoyed the stay. It was fabulous the area was peaceful and the animals that came to visit we really had a good time. The house was beautiful more than I expected. The pool clean and refreshing. Aircon and ceiling fan kept the house cool we loved it. The animal visit was perfect.

all round the food and experience was amazing. I never felt like i went hungry and not once did it seem like i needed to report an unhappy experience to the staff. Even the owner came over after the engagement and asked how it went and if the staff were successful with assisting

Beautiful place! Animals across the river are in full view. Amazing staff, very tasty food. Good selection of wines. Special thanks to our ranger Elvin. Everything was excellent. I definitely highly recommend this lodge to everyone!

Stunning location, right on the crocodile river. We had the possibility to have dinner and breakfast with view in a peaceful environment. The host Is kind and welcoming. Let you feel at home.

Staff were great. The bed was comfortable. The chalet was extremely clean. The new restaurant (Indigo) was superb with quite a variety of dishes and beverages.

Friendly staff, nice and clean rooms, excellent view from bar\restaurant. Good quality of food. Safe place with private parking in front of room

The cottage is huge and comfortable! The photos on the site correspond to reality. The view from the balcony to the river is fantastic.

The best of all was a our young safari guide. We went to Kruger on Saturday morning, and he did his best to entertain us.

The global experience was delightful (View from the room, the staff kindness, the localization from the Parc)

The comfortable tents and friendly staff

It is a very quiet place to stay.
