Call of the Fish Eagle

Important Information

Guest access, the entire house is at your disposal. There is one pantry in the kitchen that is locked and one locked cupboard in each of the bedrooms. It contains extra linen and cleaning materials that we use when cleaning the house.

Other things to note:
1. Kindly obey the rules of Marloth Park. Since we are bordering Kruger National Park, we do get regular visits from predators. This means guests are not allowed to walk or cycle on the streets between 6pm and 6am.
2. There are plenty of park animals that come to visit the house. They look tame, but are still wild animals. For your own safety, please do not handfeed the animals.
3. Please be mindful of your neighbors. No loud noise, music or conversation is allowed after 18h00 on any day of the week or weekend. No boom-boxes or speakers are allowed on the property. Noise complaints can get you a R3500 fine. Upon receipt of a valid noise complaint, a warning will be given by either CPF, Security companies, Owner, or Caretaker. Upon receipt of a 2nd noise complaint, the property must be evacuated immediately. No refunds will be given.
4. One of the biggest challenges in the park is baboons. They can cause turmoil! Please do not encourage or feed the baboons. They are highly intelligent and before you know it, they will steal whatever they can, also in the house. They can be very dangerous, so please be aware.
5. For your own safety and a pleasant stay, please do not throw out food including fruit and vegetables for the animals or birds to feed on. Unfortunately, this will attract monkeys and baboons to the house. Only feed pellets, that is available from the Bush Centre, to the animals.
6. This is a wildlife conservancy; therefore, no rubbish can be placed outside. Kindly take all rubbish with you and place it at the rubbish dump at the entrances to Marloth Park, before you depart.
7. No extra guests, that is not part of the booking, will be allowed to sleep over, as we only cater for the exact number of guests booked.

When there is load shedding, you are welcome to open the sliding door and keep the lockable mesh door locked, for security. This will allow for a lovely draft to make your stay as comfortable as possible during these times.
