Birdsong Kruger

Birdsong is a lovely, spacious home that is very well equipped — especially the kitchen, which lacks nothing. It’s clear a lot of thought has gone into ensuring guests have everything they need for a comfortable stay - lots of interesting art on the walls. Joan was an absolute delight as a host! So helpful and patient, even with all those phone calls we had to make because of the problems we had.

However, there are a few areas that need attention. The small downstairs bedroom is in need of an upgrade, and doesn’t match the otherwise high standard of the home’s interior. Both downstairs bathrooms are not that great, especially the one with the shower curtain. Our biggest issue, though, was the noise. Unfortunately our stay coincided with a long weekend, and the nearby aqua park played extremely loud music all day using a megaphone to animate guests. Despite our efforts, there was no one able to assist in reducing the noise. While I understand this is outside of the owner's control, it had a big negative impact on our experience. Additionally, the house’s water pump — necessary due to Marloth’s ongoing water issues — was very loud every time it kicked in. It was disruptive enough that we avoided flushing toilets at night or showering early in the morning to prevent waking others. This isn’t something we’ve experienced with past Marloth rentals, and it's not acceptable for a house of this quality. Overall, while Birdsong is a lovely home, the noise problems — both external and internal — significantly detracted from our stay.

Very good house. one of the best we rent ever for the price level.

no too much to do in the location with kids.
