This beautiful riverside spot is situated in Marloth Park along the Crocodile River, hugging the world-famous Kruger National Park, and offers a truly unique experience! Located in a nature conservancy, we are nestled in the bush, and with no perimeter fencing the wildlife is free to roam amongst the properties giving you unique interactions with some of Africa’s best-loved creatures. This is what makes this place so special. Croc’s Nest Bush Lodge is a stilted wooden, 3-bedroomed, 4-bathroom, eco-friendly bush house, beautifully positioned to offer the most spectacular views of the Crocodile River and the world-famous Kruger National Park beyond. Croc’s Nest has solar water heaters, tree lights and a backup generator in case of any electricity disruptions so there is always power at the house. On your morning walk, it would be no surprise to walk past a herd of zebra or a tower of giraffes, or you could relax in the comfort of the lodge and let nature come to you. Marloth is home to many wildlife species including kudu, wildebeest, warthog, impala, bushbuck and more. Expect visits by some of Marloth’s smaller creatures, such as banded mongoose, lesser and greater bushbabies and vervet monkeys. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Heated pool - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 4 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Books - Games ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Firepit - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 11 steps to reach entrance - Area rugs in public areas - Handrails in stairways - Hardwood flooring in public areas - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - On a river ### Things to do - Bicycles - Heated pool - Water park - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is no carbon monoxide detector on the property but there are gas appliances; consider bringing a portable detector) - No smoke detector (host has indicated there is no smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bed sheets changed on request - Bicycles - Bulk dispensers for toiletries - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Eco-friendly toiletries - Energy-saving switches in guestrooms - Housekeeping (on request) - Humane treatment of captive wild animals - Local artist showcase - Locally-owned and organised tours and activities - Recycling - Reusable cups - Reusable tableware - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/71000000/70070000/70067500/70067471/31c1e969.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Kruger Kumba - Mugwenzi Marloth Park - Pool - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-19&endDate=2025-10-20&selected=70067471&PinnedHotelID=70067471&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/96000000/95140000/95134300/95134249/ba4ae43f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful modern home in the African bush, next to the Kruger National Park.
