Great breakfast and secure, safe accommodation

Review of Marula Gardens
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 03 Aug 2024via mobile
Wonderful accommodation, spacious fridge. 2 comfy chairs, spacious bedroom very clean, Nigel and his team were helpful, kind and friendly.
We stayed 10 nights visiting friends and had a couple of functions with friends. Nothing was too much trouble.
Breakfasts were amazing-I’m Gluten free, dairy free this was not a problem loved the cooked breakfast and omelettes.
Very reasonably priced, safe secure Accomodation, with lovely grounds and a beautiful pool, which we were too busy to use.
Nigel was also very knowledgeable about local amenities and shops. He recommended the Park Run at Infolozi which we loved. Hopefully be back again.
Date of stay: August 2024
Room Tip: Plenty of parking easy to find, nice walk nearby.
Trip type: Travelled as a couple

    Stayed at Marula Place for 5 days in December with friends and also used the venue for a small private outdoor function. From the initial walk through with Anthony to checking in, felt looked after. I admit that I'm a traveler that needs that attention from my host's and don't like feeling as though I am invisible. The bnb has an amazing pool in the middle of the property that was always clean and the water was superb at night.Also a great place to socialize with the other guests. All the rooms are spacious, clean, have great bedding and the air conditioning is a must have in the kzn heat. Breakfast was always made to order and Anthony and the staff were always available if we needed anything. Price is reasonable and well worth it for the service you get.

    Stayed for 1 night but was very noisy. Every sound found d its way to the room as the rooms are so close. On the positive note, the rooms are fairly big with TV ,bar fridge, tea and coffee and kettles in them. Would be great place for an overnight stop if the noise levels dropped.
