About this property

See the Big 5 from the viewing deck of this incredible riverside bush lodge!

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.
Guests can expect to find free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a kitchen, and a washing machine. Housekeeping is available on request.
