Very nice owners. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Derrick May 16, 2025 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities The house had a terrible smell and the common areas weren’t clean. ##### Derrick Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard Nov 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Stunning Guesthouse in a beautiful neighbourhood! The guesthouse was in a beautiful location in a very nice neighbourhood with a private access to the beach. The owner Caroline and all her staff could not have been more friendly, welcoming and helpful during our stay. The room was huge, luxurious and extremely comfortable. The breakfast was the best English breakfast we had in our entire three week stay in South Africa! ##### Richard Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jayandree Dec 11, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The BEST place I think I have ever stayed, hands-down. I’m from Australia & I’m quite fussy about where I stay when I holiday. Caroline was such an amazing host. The group of staff who cooked our breakfast daily & helped with our luggage’s etc. we’re just so amazing.. thank, thank you, thank you for making our stay so memorable. I loved the rooms. Just stunning & the best possible accomodation by far among those in Uhmlanga & La Lucia. Just so comfortable. We were spoilt!!! ##### Jayandree Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sanda Dec 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Lovely property in safe and quiet area. Direct access to beach, although we did not swim there, but very clean. Room was very spacious and comfortable although lacks natural light. Pool area is very nice with loungers and seating, some in a shaded gazebo. There are books and games available. Breakfast catered for us as vegetarians, fruit and cereals plus cooked options. It is fairly easy and cheap to take an Uber to Umhlanga Beach with its malls, restaurants and bars. The beach is nice and you can hire umbrellas and deck chairs. The promenade is nice to walk and leads to a small nature reserve. We liked the fact we stayed outside the beach area as it was so peaceful. ##### Sanda Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heinz Sep 2, 2025 ##### Heinz Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### mark Jun 10, 2025 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Average Clean, average accommodation.
