Phumangeni Marloth Park Self Catering Accommodation

10/12/2024

When it is "open house" at Phumangeni everyone pulls in for a snack and a "how do you do?"
I dont know who enjoys it more- the kids or the grown ups. You decide 😜

Always a "pick-me-up" when guests share their pictures of the "goings-on" with us during their visit.
Bjorn says his favourite was Skillie who visited the property and got a nice snack.

Thank you for your support Bjorn, hope to see you returning soon.

Love it when our guests share pics of themselves enjoying our bush khaya.
I often wonder what is discussed during these serious conversations between animals and kids.

I have not posted for a while- sometimes life just gets in the way 🙈

Thank you to Marinda Marais and troop for the pics and the amazing amount of food they bring for our animals when visiting.

Our 4-legged locals love hosting you ❤️❤️❤️

The community in Marloth Park reminds me of a big family:
Some are older and wiser and some are younger and more energetic, you get the quieter ones and also the "wise a$$es", many get along, and others fight and bicker till the cows come home, but when it matters most, they can work together for a greater cause. Isn't that just what families do? 🤣

Well done and thank you to all "family members" involved 🐾❤️🐾

Pics and write up below shared from the Marloth Park FB page:
On Thursday 31st October, Andy Fetz reported that the area at the Kranz (Lookout) was in a bad state. After discussions, a plan came together, and Marlothii Conservancy members and willing property owners turned up at the Kranz on Monday morning.

Everybody got stuck in. Some on stepladders, some painted, others hammered and cleared the blown over trees.

We have these amazing ladies, who never forget about the hungry and thirsty ones. What would we do without you?

After a bite to eat and a mouthful of water, it was time to stand back and admire the hard work.

We need to thank the following : Andy, Natalie, Doug, Kenny, Rose, George, Alison, Geoff and Herman.
You are great people.
Very proud of you all.
A special thank you to Rose for the refreshments, you are amazing.

Guests will often ask me which one of our properties is better.
My answer: Which one of your children do you love most?
Come visit us and decide for yourself which one is your favourite

When our recurring guests arrive with a trailer full of food and snacks for our wildlife, we know they are "keepers". This is so appreciated Minky, Dave van der Schyff.
Thank you thank you thank you 🙏❤️🐾

One of the reasons why I love Marloth Park, is the lack of street lamps- when you sit outside at night, listening to all the animal sounds, the moon and stars are so much brighter than in the city with all its lights.
This picture was taken last night- credit to Sharon Delport, isn't it just MAGNIFICENT?
Cant wait for our visit next week 🤩

Sometimes we forget that we are "in the bush".

It only takes one hefty Mr Wart, a torn-to-shreds pool cover, a muddy pool, and a trip to the doctor to remind us that Marloth Park is special and that we "live differently to others"- there is never a dull moment.

Normal rules dont apply here, and logic is not always logic.

Who would think that one would have to create an obstacle course with a chair on the stoep going forward (just an interim solution) to prevent a wartie from getting too close?

Well that's just what happened here. Mr Wart was chilling and tanning on the stoep next to the pool, living his best life, when he was spooked and took short cut OVER the poolnet - not thinking that his eishbeins were a bit chunky after the holidays. The poor net tried its best, but succumbed and the pork landed in the (hot) water.

A very brave guest rushed to his aid and after a heavy wrestling match rescued the bacon.

The rescuer was mum about whether there was any mouth-to-mouth action afterwards, and I suppose we will never know as his lips are sealed...

No animal was harmed during this ordeal (only his ego).
The same cannot be said about the net and the life guard, who wasn't filmed in his red budgie smuggler doing the "Hoff slo-mo" jog after a successful save.

At least the "Hoff" got a bottle of Amarula for his efforts (and a couple of stitches 😷🚑) and I had to fork (or is it pork??🐽) out a fortune for a new pool net.

I wonder what the insurance guy thought about this story? 😱🤡
