The start of our 23 day South African tour began with four nights at the Mariu Guest House. Charlene & Ralph are awesome Hosts. First class hospitality, great breakfasts. The day we toured Kruger National Park, Charlene packed us a breakfast and lunch that was most enjoyable. Ralph gave us very good advice on roads to travel on to maximize... More

Being a regular traveller, I was totally surprised at the lack of hospitality received from the host. Unfriendly welcome, parking is a HUGE problem and the room was sub-standard, supposedly "paraplegic friendly" but without the necessary to be classified as such.

Despite being a bit out of town in a suburb, this is a charming establishment and they went out of their way to accommodate all sorts of complex dietary needs, which was impressive. Also you don't feel your hosts until you come to breakfast and they are attentive. The only incident that was disappointing was when one of the guests... More
