Everything was fabulous, from the warm reception, to the location, to the food. We have stayed here before and will definitely stay again.

The location within Marloth Park could not have been more perfect! A luxurious, yet down-to-earth accommodation with everything you need to fully relax and surround yourself with all the beauty of what nature has to offer. Everywhere you look you can see animals! The breakfast is lucious and the quality surprised us every morning! The dinners were a real experience and the staff are just wonderful! The four lovely ladies in the kitchen make the most amazing dishes and Jeremiah and Leonarda make sure all the facilities run as they should! Of course a shout out to our superb hosts Marietta and Willy!

The atmosphere: The colonial style tents were amazing and the attention to the details was just on point. Marietta and Willie. The owners are the real value added to the place. Very caring towards the guests. The food. Just like my grandmother would have cooked it, if she had been born in South Africa. They should open a restaurant in Italy.

Nothing, everything was well thought of.

The place, the ambience and the host were really great. The true spirit and essence of Africa is reflected in the way things are presented and done there. It was a pleasure.

The warmth, the love, the attention that Willy and Marietta (and their staff) brought to us is amazing. Here we really felt welcome. We were on a roadtrip in SA and we stayed here 2 nights. In total we stayed in 15 different locations in SA and this one was the most exceptional, the one where we would like to return first. The decorations throughout the lodge (and in our tent) - much like a museum, the cooking quality of Marietta, the daily dinner event in the boma (only for this I´d come over), the breakfast with zebra´s, impala´s, kudu´s, ... Our children (and we of course) were so impressed. And so happy. One day we almost literally bumped on a giraffe in their car parking area (imagine standing 1m from a giraffe and only then noticing it). Willy noticed this and took/shared pictures of this experience with us. I do hope we will return soon to SA... and this would be the first location we´d (re)book.

There are no words to describe it! It is a wonderful place. Reetha and Willy are great hosts and are surrounded by amazing staff. We were treated like family. We also had a wonderful time with the other guests there: you have your privacy when you want it, but there is a small community dimension we very much appreciated. The food (both @ breakfast and dinner) was amazing, and the whole atmosphere is peaceful and breathtaking. Animals walking by. Safe area very close to Crocodile river and to the entrance of Kruger national park. Go for it :-)

The place was spectacular. Having the animals literally on your doorstep was amazing. Staff couldn’t do any more to help you and the owners were so kind and helpful

All was wonderful

One of the best places we have ever visited. The owners of the Lodge were very hospitable, as if we were their most beloved relatives. It was very nice. The place itself was made with great love, every detail is imbued with it. The owner is an amazingly talented and very beautiful woman. She created this place herself! And her husband is a very kind and sympathetic person. We were incredibly glad that we chose the lodge for our honeymoon. Dinners was amazing. It is incredibly delicious and beautiful! It is a whole performance with elements of culture and history. And breakfasts with a view of zebras and other animals are amazing. Our best breakfast in South Africa. We could not even imagine that it would be so amazing. Thank you very much for such a wonderful holiday! With love, Tanya and Arkadii

The shower temperature is difficult to control, but that's part of living in the bush. You can always run a bath instead to get the water at the right temperature.

Our stay at Wielewaal was unforgettable! Willie & Rheta were the perfect hosts, the food was fabulous, and the atmosphere was truly unique. So much detail and care was put into the decoration and furnishing of the lodge, and the table setting at every meal. The staff were so helpful and dedicated, and we loved learning about the local wildlife from Jeremiah. We also booked multiple safari trips through the lodge, which were well-organised and with a fantastic guide. The best part of course is that the lodge is surrounded by wildlife, who often come right up to the breakfast table! Wielewaal is the perfect combination of comfort and adventure.

Wonderful location and hosts! We were very pleased to have chosen Marloth Park, as an area to stay, as it feels like you’re still in the bush, and it’s easy to reach Kruger. Wielewaal was the icing on the cake, making full use of their location to create a little wildlife oasis. There are kudu and zebra at breakfast time and bushbabies in the evening - it was a really special place. Excellent and hearty food! We felt very well cared for!

Perfect location and service. You feel inside the Safari.

We had to leave...

I loved everything in this place. It is a kind of paradise. I've never been a place like this, gave us so much love, care and peace. The stuff and owners are so beautiful people. The food are excellent, so delicious...and the environment is amazing where they serve the food. They make SA-n food, make from fresh ingredients and of course by hart! The whole Lodge environment is so special, I couldn't find a word when we arrived. Very welcoming and beautiful..amazing! Room was clean and nice, the bed was extremely comfy. We wish we could have stayed longer... Thank you so very much for everything Retha and Willie, you give us much more than enough! We will come back!! I definitely recommend this place for everyone, it´s a must have experience. Love, Love, Love
