Catscorner

Catscorner is a self-catering accommodation situated in Marloth Park, a holiday town separated from the Kruger National Park by the Crocodile River. It offers an affordable getaway surrounded by nature, where visitors can observe animals like zebras, kudus, warthogs, and impalas visiting the premises. The area is renowned for its rich birdlife, and various bird species can be spotted around the house, at the feeders or the bird bath. At night, the roar of lions can sometimes be heard, and bush babies, fruit bats, and shy genets frequent the house regularly.

Catscorner comprises three bedrooms that can accommodate six people. Two bedrooms are furnished with double beds and have en-suite bathrooms, while the third bedroom has two single beds with an en-suite bathroom. The kitchen is equipped with cutlery, crockery, a fridge-freezer, gas stove, and a microwave. All linen is provided, but guests need to bring their own towels (although towels can be provided upon request).

The accommodation is serviced from Monday to Friday, allowing guests to relax and unwind. It features a lovely veranda and braai (barbeque) area where visitors can observe the frequently visiting wildlife. There is a splash pool for cooling down on hot summer days, and children can enjoy themselves while their parents savor the peace and tranquility of the bush setting. Ample parking is available for two vehicles, and 24-hour security is provided by a local security company based in Marloth Park. Catscorner does not have a television, as the aim is for guests to reconnect with nature and family members.

A short four-minute walk down Maroela road leads to Henk van Rooyen Park, which offers a public swimming pool, kiosk, and restaurant with breathtaking views across the Crocodile River into the Kruger National Park. Along Olifants Drive, visitors can find a pub and restaurant with a big-screen TV, a take-away outlet, a petrol station, a bakery, a butcher, a bottle store, and several other shops. Marloth Park also has spa facilities available, and visitors can obtain more information at the tourist information center.

Catscorner offers a lovely splash pool with a pool cover and a large veranda where children can play and safely interact with the wildlife visiting the house. It is a self-catering house on a large stand overlooking parkland in Marloth Park holiday town.
