A Fantastic Stay at Marloth Nature Reserve! Our experience at Marloth Nature Reserve was nothing short of amazing. Every staff member we encountered was exceptionally friendly and helpful, making us feel truly welcome. Bushbuck Cottage exceeded our expectations—it was spotless, modern, and equipped with everything we could possibly need (and more!). We can’t wait to return. We hiked the Plaatloop and Duiwelbos Waterfall routes, both of which were absolutely stunning. The trails are well-marked and easy to navigate, offering breathtaking scenery along the way. Just keep an eye out for the baboons near the waterfall—they seem quite eager to snatch a bag! Highly recommended for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike!

5 day hike during flower season. Stunning views, neat huts, well maintained and signed trails, felt safe and had the most wonderful time. Thank you Cape Nature and head ranger Adam: you deserve a lot of credit.

We had an absolutely lovely time at Marloth Nature Reserve, a Cape Nature Reserve. We stayed in the Bushbuck Cottage and were pleasantly surprised by how clean, cozy, and charming it was. The staff were exceptional, the hiking trails breathtaking, and the overall experience unforgettable. We’ll definitely be back!

A beautiful place . Well worth a visit. The hikes are well maintained . The Duiwelsbos walk to the waterfall is a bit of a climb but worth the effort . The toilets at the start of the walk were however not clean . I stayed in both the cottages and they are both clean and cosy and modern wish everything that one needs . It was raining during our stay and the indoor braai was very convenient.

Took the 2km hike left early in the morning in mist and returned in sweltering hot summer heat in Jan. Be sure to take good hiking boots, sunprotection a must. Barbecue facilities and laid-back picnic spots at Entrance. Unfortunately, waterfall wasn't as magnificent as we hoped as it was a very dry season. Mountains and lush proteas with many different types of Fynbos and beautiful fern types were absolutely amazing to see. Overall, it is a very well run Nature reserve with easy bathroom access. Wheel chair friendly, Free parking, very friendly folks x

A hiker's paradise with many routes to choose from. We stayed at Bushbuck cottage for 3 nights and what a beautiful place. Cottage is very modern and styled to perfection. Its fully stocked with equipped to stay self sufficient for a week. Staff very friendly. Wood availble from reception for fireplace and woodburn hot tub.

Visited the Marloth Nature Reserve this week. Being part of the South African Natural Parks chain, this park (although smaller) was very modern in terms of office, fencing and amenities. The hiking trails are well maintained and provided with clear signs. The trail we walked was the Plaat Loop (long), which is an intermediate route. Very nice views and the costs of entering is only €5,32 for 2 adults.

This is a beautiful nature reserve. The hike was clearly marked and trail was in good condition. We did the loop and then went up to the water fall. Some stunning views and overall a lovely hike. If you are in the area and enjoy hiking I highly recommend it
