Marloth Nature Reserve Holiday Rentals

"Our stay at Sanbona was truly magical. From the moment we arrived at the main entrance up to the moment of exit we were treated to wonderful hospitality, service and awesome wildlife viewing experiences. We stayed in Tilney Manor for 3 nights and during that time enjoyed 5 safari drives. Although on the drives we had very cold windy conditions this was a small price to pay to be able to see elephants, giraffes, black rhinos, lions, kudu, eland, klipspringer, oryx, springbok, baboons and even cheetah. All of this was sandwiched between superb meals and wonderful service from staff that make you feel part of the family. We were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary and were treated to extra special touches to recognise this. By staying for 3 nights we were able to skip one safari drive and enjoy the spa facility and the accommodation to the full. All of the staff were exceptional including the staff at the welcome lodge and transfer drivers - one of whom stopped for us to view some Zebra that we encountered as he was transferring us for our departure. This made the day for another group travelling with us as the Zebra was the only animal they hadn’t seen!! Such service and experiences provided by a non profit organisation dedicated to conservation and rejuvenation of the area. What more could you ask. You simply must go!!"

"We had an amazing stay. Melani was a gracious host and very approachable and friendly. We liked the breakfast ingredients in our refrigerator. It was fun to make our own breakfast and enjoy it on our patio at our leisure. The dogs on the property are gentle giants. Everything on property feels clean and modern and the rooms are private and large. I would not hesitate to book again!"

"Absolute gem. Hospitaly in different class. Owners hand on and make your stay a great experience. Beautiful garden and grounds. Breakfast divine. Cannot be faulted at all. "

"What a wonderful place out in the country! They honor of their way to please guests. Breakfast and dinner are high quality. Rather than the usual breakfast buffet breakfast is high quality served at the table with options. "

"Sorry we were only spending one night in this wonderful place. From the warm welcome by the owner on arrival, restaurant recommendation for the evening and freshly squeezed orange juice from their own orchard as part of the delicious breakfast, and did I mention really comfy beds, it was a real find. I would highly recommend."

"Amazing night spent here, and we will definitely visit again. Thank you for the upgrade, always-friendly service & letting us stay on site for a while to work remotely. Also, we loved our feline sentry on site... felt like Royalty being protected by Kitty ! 😺 😻"
