I’m Werner, the owner of Elephant Rest, and it’s a joy to welcome guests to our peaceful corner of Marloth Park. Hosting is something I truly love — especially meeting families, nature lovers and travellers who want to experience the bushveld up close. There’s nothing better than seeing guests relax, reconnect and enjoy the wildlife that wanders freely around the house. I’m passionate about creating a warm, comfortable and memorable stay. My team and I take pride in keeping the home spotless, well‑equipped and ready for guests to enjoy from the moment they arrive. When I’m not managing Elephant Rest, you’ll usually find me outdoors — enjoying the bush, birdwatching, exploring the Kruger, or spending time with the Marloth Park community. We’re always happy to help with recommendations, activity planning or arranging special experiences like game drives, tiger fishing or sunset cruises. Your comfort and enjoyment are our priority, and we look forward to making your stay unforgettable.
