Our stay at Marben Manor was first class. Willem, the owner was a real gem, who looked after us so well and who went to great lengths to help us out. He's a super gentleman who goes beyond the normal duties of a host. Marben Manor is very clean, a good sized room, with a small fridge. It is situated... More

I arrived from my delayed international flight to find the friendly face of Willem waiting for me to transfer me to Marben Manor. My room was clean and comfortable and the food and hospitality extremely enjoyable. I stayed two nights in total one before and one after my visit to the Kruger. Marben Manor was a safe haven to stay... More

What a lovely place! What charming hosts! We couldn't have had a better time. From the moment Willem met us at the airport to the moment next day he and Yvonne waved good by, we were in heaven! Our rooms were beautiful, looking out to a peaceful, grassy area around a pool surrounded by flowers and bushes with birds singing... More

I am absolutely delighted to have discovered this place. It's exactly as it is made out to be - affordable luxury. Reservation was easy by email. Rooms were well appointed and of a nice size, with attention given to little details, like sprigs of lavender in the bathroom, cookies in a tin, nuts on the bed. Delicious home cooked meals... More

Home away from Home - Marben Manor Guest House! Willem and Yvonne took such good care of us; it felt like visiting family, they really are the “perfect” hosts! Nothing is too much trouble for them to make you feel at home and there is a “Personal Touch” that is indescribable. The "Homey" atmosphere is exactly what we were looking... More

Our last night of a four-week trip in southern Africa, so we were tired of travelling and ready for a bit of pampering. Marben Manor was the perfect choice.
