"We had the most wonderful stay imaginable at Memory Lane. The house is pretty and gives a wonderful feeling of luxury and being spoilt. Everything is neat, well kept and in working order. Everyone should indulge in the experience."

"A wonderful experience. We were visited by zebra, kudu and waterhog. This alone was well worth our long trip from Durban. The house was splendid, a real home away from home. We will definitely revisit and recommend Memory Lane."

- Katz Govender, South Africa

"Thank you to Memory Lane. We booked at the absolute last minute and were very pleased to see the house ready for us. The house has every piece of equipment you could possibly need and was spotless - even though the previous guests had just moved out and it was over New Year week-end. It was very hot and the splash pool was a life saver. The house is very spacious and feels like a home away from home. We would not hesitate to book here again!"

- Wendy Ladeira, South Africa

"Amazing - truly and utterly beautiful. We have never had a holiday as relaxing and "at home" before. From the comfy couches to the pure linen, Memory Lane has truly been a home away from home. The hazy dawns and the baby antelope in the front yard took us into hot days (thank God for air conditioning), midday snoozes, watching the warthog family strolling by, lazing in the pool & relaxing braai's under millions of stars dazzling the clear nights. Being in Memory Lane / Marloth Park was as good as or better than being in the Kruger National Park. We had giraffe strolling by, kudu, antelope, monkeys - we even had a zebra come up to the pool side to have a drink of water!"

"We could easily access Malelane and the surrounding areas - what a beautiful country we have! Rosemary and Michele, thank you for sharing your home with us, we will surely return soon."

- Mageshnie Nadas, South Africa

September 2006

"Many thanks for a lovely stay at Memory Lane - thank you so much for the Wine and Champagne to celebrate our anniversary and our daughter's 16th birthday. The house was beautiful and we had some wonderful sightings down by the river and lovely visits to the stoop by warthog, impala and kudu. Hope to visit again in the future."

- Janet Byrne, South Africa

"Thank you for accommodating us at Memory Lane. It was fantastic. Thanks for your father for his helpfulness with us. The house is fantastic, it is clean and I can't say one bad thing over my stay there. It was wonderful. I am not a very good writer by I tried to say everything that I want and we will remember Memory Lane for ever and will market it also for you. Dirk and Marie cleaning service is excellent. I am busy building a house in Marloth and you were an inspiration on what a house must look like."

- Manie and Dirka Swarts, South Africa

"My wife and I just completed a three week stay at Memory Lane - it was not long enough. The home and surrounding are absolutely gorgeous. The house is spacious and amazingly up-to-date. The lapa and braai areas are perfect. Zebra, kudu, warthogs, mongoose were some of the many animals who wandered through the backyard at various times. Further, the care that everyone gave to us - from Rosemary and Michele's emails to the cleaning services to the gardener - was absolutely five star. We plan to return to Marloth Park next summer and will request a reservation at Memory Lane as soon as we know the dates of our visit."

- Ronald Dulek, Northport, USA

"Had an excellent weekend at Memory Lane, the warthog family came past the house every day! Was absolutely wonderful to be so close to the animals and the bush. Saw so many animals just from the house patio. The house is lovely, has been done to perfection-was really a home away from home! The air conditioner and splash pool was a life saver! Will definitely come back to Memory Lane."
