Mariental Rural Hotels from

"Subtle, modest, room and facilities located in the beautiful valley between two red dunes. Very clean - room and the surrounding. Crispy white linen with a nice embroidered with two deer. We really relaxed the stay of two nights. The morning San walk was great and included in the room price. "

"We had a friendly welcome to the hotel. The owners took time to chat, which has not been the norm. It is very secure with inside parking. Car washing was offered. We didnt get the triple room that we had booked, but the room offered had a huge double bed in a spacious room that was sufficient for our needs. The bathroom was large with a bath and shower. Separate toiletries would have been useful. It was all clean and tidy with good linens. The outside porch was a nice place to sit. Breakfast had some variety and was taken in a pleasant dining room. The hotel itself is a great place to stay for a day or two, but dining options are restricted to fast food and a mediocre restaurant."

"Relatively small rooms, but appointed so beautifully. The resort is attractive and although the reserve is relatively small (<20,000 hectares) compared to Okonjima,it’s significantly more affordable. Highly recommend doing the evening sundowner ride (extra charge, but worth it)"

"Perfect and wonderful station and experience"

"Amazing privacy & great for stargazing (less light pollution - close to zero - than around the lodge). We had everything we needed in term of facilities. The only slight negative was the staff - when we asked for some info (e.g. the walking trails on the property), they didn't really make an effort to explain things well."
