Escape to our relaxing and cozy bush cottage. Take in all the special moments surrounded by freely roaming wildlife. The Porcupine Porch is a private, luxury air-conditioned self-catering holiday home that features 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom. You will be able to enjoy barbecue facilities as well as a plunge pool. Our cottage is based in Marloth Park, located 650m from the Crocodile River and the Kruger National Park. This home includes a patio that leads to the barbeque and pool area with garden views. Inside you a beautiful and comfortable lounge that has a smart tv. There is a kitchen with an oven, fridge/freezer, kettle, microwave and toaster. There is a private bathroom with a bath, towels are offered. Guests at The Porcupine Porch can enjoy a wide selection of activities including bird watching, wildlife photography, 4x4 driving course, guided walks, and safaris. In Marloth Park, there are two centers, with convenient stores, butchery's and liquor supply, there are multiple restaurants spread throughout the park, some just 5 to 10-minute walks away. There is a waterpark and mini golf course. Malalane is 31 kilometers from The Porcupine Porch cottage. The nearest airport is Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport, 68 kilometers from the cottage.
We have a passion for wildlife and nature. We love meeting and sharing experiences with all visitors to the area. Having unique and memorable encounters with wildlife, there is so much to look forward to each day. If you enjoy wildlife or photography, this is the perfect place to visit! The Porcupine Porch is only 1.4Kms from the Crocodile River. This means that we have regular visits from a wide variety of animals, for example: giraffe, zebra, kudu, blue wildebeest, impala, warthog and plenty more. That is possible because wildlife is able to roam freely between properties. Marloth Park incorporates its own reserve which boasts most of the "Big 5", except for elephant. One can enjoy walks along the fence, where the "Big 5" and other interesting sightings are often made. There are no internal fences and the vegetation remains in its original state. Marloth Park is separated by a boundary fence and by the Crocodile River from Kruger Park.
