Luxury Living on the Beach I never write reviews, but must share our 2 week experience.
Casa De Oro commands one of the choicest locales in all of Troncones.

THE COMPOUND:
We drove through tall woven gates into a lush Paradise with palm trees, exotic plants and stone art.
Caretakers Jose and Amadelia gave a warm welcome and escorted us past a glorious fountain. We entered through the main home gates into Grand Palapa living. Spaces are tiered flowing down to open aired living area under a giant palapa. The kitchen has a large 6 burner gas range and is equipped with everything you need, even basic pantry items. A long tiled bar counter is perfect for laying out meals. The dining area sports a table that can seat more than 8 people, from here you step down to the living area with 3 sofas and a hammock. Then step directly onto the luxurious pool deck with 2 more large shade palapas, 8 cushy lounges, and another dining table allowing for everyone to spread out. The first floor pool deck and living spaces look out to the beach and adorable bay. The pool is large with an infinity edge. No one can view into the property because it is elevated offering the utmost in privacy. There is a hidden gated stairway stepping down to the private beach yard in front of the Casa. Of course, this is where you find the outdoor shower for rinsing yourself and boogie boards.
There are 4 California King Master Suites with En Suite Bathes. Two are connected to the Grand Palapa, the other two (Bungalows) are nestled among the grounds. Perfect for parents with children that may be worried about direct pool deck access. Our group fluctuated between 4 and 8 people depending on when family and friends could join us. To top things off……literally….there is full service bar and lounge area on the top Palapa floor offering gentle ocean breezes, sea views and sunsets.
This was a fun space to sip on Margaritas & party, or read and nap.

LUXURY AMENITIES:
Air conditioning in every suite.
The mattresses are devine and the sheets had to be 400+ thread count. Towels were soft and fluffy.
The entire estate is well manicured and very clean. Jose can fix anything, and arrange for the fish vendor or the fruit/veggie man to drop by for your shopping pleasure. The produce variety was amazing and Bacdyn drops are provided at the Casa for food safety. Amadelia cleaned our rooms everyday except Sunday.
Purified water is offered in every suite and the public areas.
Ceiling fans throughout.
Lockboxes in every suite for passports and cash, large closets.
The 2 suites connected to the main Palapa are huge and can sleep more than 2 people.
A separate drink fridge and blue tooth stereo.
A separate barbecue palapa.
A landline to the local restaurants and stores.
WIFI, which I found to be the same speed as the local 3G.
Interiors and exteriors are tastefully decorated with gorgeous local art, hand woven textiles and handmade furniture.
The property can accommodate just a couple or a large family get together.

LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION:
This is a very private property with views of greenscape and the beach. Yet, you are still in the pueblo with a short walk to everything.
We spent our mornings walking the beach and body surfing, then back to the Casa for a dip in the pool and another breakfast.
Late mornings/afternoons were spent at the local farmer’s market & craft fair, boutiques, visiting with local expats and driving to nearby pueblos.
In the evening we enjoyed strolls on the beach to all the restaurants (there are now 37) and a Tortuga Sanctuary.
Bedtime found us sleeping with the windows open (screened) dozing off to the rhythms of the ocean = Heaven!

WE WILL RETURN:
Hands down we are coming back. Casa De Oro offered one of the most restorative, relaxing vacations we have experienced in years! - 2/19/2019 

Einzigartig - nur zu empfehlen So haben wir uns das Haus nicht vorgestellt. Alle unsere Erwartungen wurden erfüllt und übertroffen. Die Gastgeberin, Cathy und Themby waren einzigartig und ständig um uns bemüht. Das Haus bietet alles, was man sich wünscht. Die Reaktionszeit der Gastgeberin auf Fragen, war sehr schnell und stets zur vollen Zufriedenheit. Tiere haben uns begrüßt. Haus und auch der Pool waren sehr gepflegt. Wir können dieses Haus nur sehr empfehlen!! - 1/01/2020 

Mrs We fell in love with this beautiful property. The 3 en suite bedrooms are beautifully equipped and decorated. The living and kitchen area downstairs were great and well equipped, the upstairs deck was fab for star gazing, or even a glimpse of ellies going down to drink in the far distance. Lots of different birds visited. I specially liked the blue waxwings. The tortoise came, also an ostrich, kudu, bushbuck, wart hog etc No traffic noise at all and you'd hardly realise any other houses were nearby. Loved the pool and firepit/braai area. Fabulous memories - you should go stay! - 7/01/2019 

Absolutely beautiful, worth a long, long stay! This is a simply lovely house...clean, spacious, well equipped (only missing laundry facilities which are available nearby), comfortably furnished, stylish with a true African vibe. Good linens and towels. The beautiful natural bush surroundings are very quiet and the location allows comfortable access to KNP (approx 30 minutes to Croc Bridge or 50 minutes to Malelane). Lots of animals and 1000´s of birds visit every day (zebra, wildebeest, ostrich, bushbuck, vervet monkeys, mongoose, bushbabies, impala, kudu, duiker and more). Short stroll to river with great views. Outdoor areas are perfect for relaxing, braaing, stargazing or soaking up a few rays at the lovey clean pool. Owner Hillary is very helpful and responsive during booking process and stay. She really goes that extra mile. Do NOT hesitate to book. - 4/01/2019 

Relaxing We loved our stay at Casa de Oro. It was relaxing and beautiful. We enjoyed walking on the beach and the lovely clean pool. Some great eclectic books at the house too. Loved it! - 11/01/2019 

Magical lodge in the Heart of Marloth Park Stayed here in January 23 and can say what a truly amazing place this is, Hillary and Lee-Ann were amazing, couldn't have asked for better hosts. This place is stunning from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave (which is our case we didn't want to leave) you can relax and chill and enjoy the African life. Highly highly recommend this place to anyone wanting a lovely chilled lodge near the Kruger Park. Lots of restaurants and bars close by which just adds to the experience. Can safely say will be back to enjoy a wonderful stay at Noro Wa Hina again sooner rather than later and bring all the family to experience Africa at its best. - 1/01/2023
