Absolutes Highlight waren die ganztägigen Game Drives, durchgeführt direkt von der Lodge im offenen Landrover, in den besonders wildreichen südlichen Teil des Kruger Nationalpark, wo wir neben unzähligen anderen Tieren auch sämtliche Big 5 zu sehen bekamen, besonders eindrucksvoll ein Rudel Wildhunde auf der Jagd nach Impalas; die Lodge selber liegt im Marloth Park, ca. 30 Minuten vom nächsten Gate zum Kruger Park entfernt, mit frei herumlaufenden Giraffen, Zebras, Kudus und Warzenschweinen, die bis an die Terrasse der Lodge herankommen und einen zum Frühstück oder Dinner besuchen; die Lodge hat lediglich 8 Zimmer, entsprechend familiär ist die Athmosphäre; das Dinner wird gemeinsam mit den Gästen aus aller Welt und den Besitzern auf der offenen Terrasse eingenommen, alle Sonderwünsche werden berücksichtigt; Frühstück und Dinner sind reichlich und von guter Qualität; ein reichhaltiges Angebot an nicht alkoholischen und gepflegten alkoholischen Getränken verfügbar; die Zimmer verfügen über einen hohen Standard und ein großes Bad mit Wanne und separater Dusche; alles in allem ein ausgezeichnetes Preis/Leistungsverhältnis, ein sehr empfehlenswertes Haus, in das wir gerne zurückkomme ##### Karl-Heinz Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### L Aesthetics 18 Dec 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The stay was amazing….Dennis and Gail are super hosts and the lodge is situated nicely tugged away in the bushes.

The rooms are clean and comfortable with sliding doors that look out at the bush in the backyard where zebras, monkeys and wildebeests often gather. Meals are delicious, multi-course family-style affairs with scintillating conversations with guests from around the world. The owner, Dennis and manager, Colin, do everything possible to ensure a wonderful stay. ##### Jamie Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 18 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic, peaceful lodge. Everything about Needles Lodge was excellent. From our room, which was spacious and beautifully finished, to the unbelievable food served for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We loved having the animals wander by and spent hours by the delightful pool. The lodge's main areas are great too with lots of books for reading about the animals. The staff were really helpful and kind, it was just the most wonderful few days and we can't wait to return! ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 9 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities \+ Ein sehr leckeres Abendessen war inklusive.

Excellent breakfast and wine selection. Zebra visits to the lodge was a nice touch. Location in Marloth park is interesting - this is a very unique project to combine human neighborhood with a quasi safari. Dinner was just OK and the idea of a shared table to all guests and hosts is not to everyone's taste, but this shouldn't affect the high rating. We stopped there after our Kruger visit, but the guests who used the lodge for the Kruger safaris seemed happy with the lodge as their basis. ##### Ram Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Riccardo 24 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Perfetto per soggiorno vicino al Kruger Park.

Wir würden definitiv wiederkommen. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 19 Feb 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Needles was a great place to stay. We were afraid it was going to be in a developed town but it's in a protected area with wildlife coming through the area as well. We saw Kudu, giraffe, a genet, and a bushbaby just on the grounds. Dennis and Gail were gracious hosts and as Dennis is a guide, he knew everything about birds, wildllife, and the park. Whatever you want is really the order of the day. Needles can arrange morning walks, game drives, nearby tours, or you can use it as a jumping off point to Crocodile Bridge (about 30 minutes by car) into Kruger National Park. It's an easy drive up to Lower Sabie camp for lunch but the location of Needles is convenient. On departure, we went from Crocodile Bridge to Malelane in the park and then it was about four hours to Pretoria by car. We had a great time and would love to return. We're talking to friends about making it a group visit. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marie 7 Jan 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Tolle Lodge mit ganz viel familiären Flair.

Had we known just how good it was, think we may have spent our entire 7 nights in Kruger there. It more than lives up to the great reviews it gets (which is why we chose Needles), the place is beautiful, the staff amazing, the visiting animals a daily treat, and the proximity to Crocodile River entrance gate does actually mean you could easily stay here, and go into the park for the day (which means you get the 5\* benefit of the lodge, with all the animal viewing you could wish for). We had dinner, bed and breakfast, the cooked breakfast was fantastic (best mushrooms I have ever tasted), the dinners a delight sat outside with a glass of Pinotage. Within 30 minutes of arriving we had visits from a huge rock monitor, a family of mongoose and a Kudu. Lots of birds to watch and identify in the nearby trees, Zebra wandering over, the Bushbabies at night, amazing. We did a full day safari by way of introduction to the park, and I would recommend it. Patrick our guide and driver was just brilliant, spotting things well before we did (without binocs and while driving), he promised my wife 30 giraffe and he delivered, as well as lions, buffalo, white rhino, elephants, eagles, hippos (25 species we saw on that one day, plus it gave us great ideas of where to go when we were in the park, like Mpondo Dam). Perfect place to stay in every respect. ##### Tony Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 2 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Sehr schönes Hotel im Marloth Park, in dem man beim Frühstück Zebras und Wildschweine beobachten kann. Das Team ist absolut hervorzuheben und hat unseren Aufenthalt perfekt gemacht. Auch das Essen war hervorrangend, jegliche Sonderwünsche wurden ohne Problwmw erfüllt. Im vergleich zu den anderen Lodges, in denen wir waren, ein sehr sehr gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis und sehr zu empfehlen. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Saskia, Deutschland 16 Nov 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Die Angestellten und Inhaber sind total nett und zuvorkommend, an Abend wird ein gemütliches Feuer gemacht und man sitzt schön zusammen. Das Essen ist hervorragend. Der Marloth Park an sich hat leider kaum etwas zu bieten - wirkt etwas trist und das Zimmer ist schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen bzw. Sieht im Internet etwas hochwertiger aus als in echt - guter Fotograf ;) ##### Saskia Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Luiz Fernando 10 Sept 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excepcional em todos os sentidos. Um das melhores hospedagens da minha vida. Localização, limpeza, hospitalidade, comida e conforto nos deixaram plenamente satisfeitos. Toda a organização dos safaris feitas por eles, pois chegamos com a programação toda montada. Proximidade com os animais, pois localiza-se dentro do Marloth Park. Sem dúvidas, vivemos momentos que lembraremos para sempre. ##### Luiz Fernando Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Luiz Antonio 28 May 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excepcional Maravilhosa ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1560-pd7f13070-6294-11e8-991c-0242a8c09ebc-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1604-pd7a7cb60-6294-11e8-9e2f-02427cbe7472-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1926-pd88cad20-6294-11e8-991c-0242a8c09ebc-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s490-pd5273b00-6294-11e8-90f5-02426f8ac431-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Luiz Antonio Stayed 4 nights in May 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dmitrij 27 Mar 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ein tolles Erlebnis in der familiären Atmosphäre Alles wunderbar! Haben die 4 Tage in der Needles Lodge sehr genossen. Am schönsten waren die Abende wenn alle Gäste sich an einem Tisch zum gemeinsamen Abendessen treffen. Haben viele nette Menschen von überall auf der Welt kennengelernt. Es ist ein Hotel, das sich nicht wie ein Hotel, sondern wie ein zweites Zuhause anfühlt. Ein großes Lob an Dennis, Gale und Colin, die jeden Tag für die tolle Atmosphäre sorgen. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder. ##### Dmitrij ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karina 26 Mar 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Foi sensacional a estadia no Needles, otima localização, excelente localização, os jantares e o café da manhã deliciosos.
