Fantastic Place!
After a long day I need a good and comfortable bed and I got just that. The wi-fi was fantastic! Rhinos are mingling around in the buildings.

Great base for exploring the wetlands
Marlin Lodge is clean, comfortable, and spacious. Our family unit had two bedrooms. The rooms are fairly basic but well-equipped and functional. Breakfast by the pool was excellent. The owners made us feel at home and took care of all our needs. It's a great base to explore Cape Vidal and the wetlands park with lots of hippos and crocs. It's walking distance into the main town area with lots of restaurants and shops. Would definitely recommend this place.

Nice place with great pool
Very nice quiet place with great swimming pool. Friendly welcoming owners. Waitress at breakfast with a smile, except for the headwaitress who was extremely unfriendly (each time we asked her a little thing, like some eggs or mushrooms or whatever at breakfast; she made her understand that she was unhappy to do it with her attitude and huffing and puffing - i would get rid of her quickly as she is not making guest feel welcome at all).

Boring place
The only thing was good for the place was their staff 3 ladies and breakfast was wonderful . No Tv to kill time when you inside can't even watch the morning news in bed😡. Have to check out 1 day earlier, because we can't handle the noise from our next door neighbors when they using the bathroom. Their bathroom light can come through our bedroom from the bottom of their pathway door..
