BUILDING CONSTRUCTION IS OF POOR QUALITY. A RE-THINK NEEDS TO BE DONE ON THE ARRANGEMENT OF THE INTERNAL OF YOUR BATHROOMS . YOU HAVE A FANTASTIC STAFF. I WOULD RECOMMEND ZANDILE FOR MANAGEMENT TRAINING. SHE WILL MAKE AN EXCELLENT MANAGER AT ONE OF YOUR RESORTS. BOTH YOUR RECEPTION STAFF HAVE GREAT DECISION MAKING SKILLS. USE IT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE. ##### ANIL BISSESAR Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Andrew 20 Dec 2022 Liked: Room comfort #### What a pity First you have to get to the resort where either road has pot holes that make driving extremely hazadous. It all started so well, met at the entrance by a man in a bow tie. The staff are really nice, friendly and attentive, but there is no leadership. Simple things like a float for the shop or bar. The moment you step out of the gates of the resort you are harrased by "tour guides". There are absolutely no amenities like other Wild Coast resorts. The place comes across as the illigetimate child the group have to acknowledge is in the family, but don't want much to do with it. Our lights went out at 10pm on the Saturday with 4.5 hour load shedding and we did not have any electricity til about 6pm the following day because when it was reported to when some one could be bothered to fix it took about 8 hours. There was no running water, meaning we could not shower or bath and owing to no electricity could not cook the food we brought or even make a hot drink. By then we had voted with our feet and left to face the dangerous journey back to Mquanduli through the potholes. I can safely say I will never darken their doorstep again. This is a resort desperate for some investment and leadership, because the scenery is absolutely stunning. This resort in particular was famous for its Seafood Supper, now the seafood is frozen, even the braai night is gone. ##### Andrew Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Fredrik E 28 Nov 2020 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Not good free wifi room cleaning stay a week not roomcleanig No reception.

Would love to return to the Hole in the Wall. The self catering units we stayed in had stunning views. The units do need some maintenance and care, but overall an enjoyable stay. ##### Mohammed Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 12 Oct 2019 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hole on the wall holiday Good stay at hole in the wall, only problem was there were people drinking wine in the pool, although there is a board showing no drinking in the pool and one of the ladies took off her clothes, and there was not enough oversight by security to stop this. Drive to the hole in the wall is challenging with many potholes on the tar road and the gravel road is bad if using the gps. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### moses 29 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The stay was very much well enjoyed by the entire family of 5 ##### moses Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### KARL 9 Apr 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Stunning ocean views from Hotel. What a wonderful view from our hotel room and the walk to the hole is not so far and it is stunning out there. The hotel room needs attention, the one fridge is not up to standards, shelves are missing, as well as the stove looks not good. The people that try to sell goods outside the fence are very annoying. The last 30km to Hole in the Wall Hotel is very very bad, make sure to take the road via Coffee Bay, that is a much better option. ##### KARL Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Trina, Sacramento 11 Sept 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Friendly staff close to the beach with good spa service ##### Trina Stayed 1 night in Sep 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Andres 30 May 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Endroit splendide! Très belle région. Infrastructures de l’hôtel des annes 80 mais en cours de renovation. Service impecable (Paul, le gérant, fait un excellent travail de formation et de suivi de ses employés). Concernant la route pour y arriver, elle est en mauvais état mais elle est en train d’être rénovée. Mais même en mauvais état, il n’y a pas besoin de 4x4; il y a juste besoin d’un peu de patience. Le voyage vaud clairement le détour! ##### Andres Stayed 1 night in May 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rieka 22 May 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent stay at Home in the Wall hotel We stayed very good. Everybody were very friendly and we felt save and secured. Will definately visit again ##### Rieka Stayed 2 nights in May 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Christo 16 Apr 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Pleasant Surprise The hotel is an unexpected haven of comfort and good food in a very remote place. The rooms are old but in reasonable condition. Enjoyed the walk to the Hole in the Wall. Road access is just OK in the dry (lot of potholes) but in the wet it’s 4x4 stuff (adds a chunk of fun to the journey). If that’s what you enjoy it’s great. Great areas for cycling and some hiking. ##### Christo ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hermanus 9 Apr 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Pleasant stay in the Wild Coast The resort is great, its fully self catering. Close access to the beach and only about 10 minutes walk to hole in the wall. Be sure to buy all your groceries in one of the big cities before your arrival as you wont find any supermarkets nearby. This is a very rural area. They do have a restaurant and small shop selling charcoal and some sweets. ##### Hermanus ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paolo 21 Feb 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ottimo Posto incantevole, rondales bellissimo, completo di tutto anche acqua set di cortesia abbondante sua sciampo, creme, caffè the unico endicap, si arriva da una strada bianca ##### Paolo ### 10/10 Excellent #### Frikkie 9 Nov 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely!!!!

The Hole in the wall is amazing to see. Drive there a bit hectic as the roads are bad and a 4\*4 is definately needed. It is helpful to get the local "guides" to take you to the hole in the wall and boiling point but negotiate price first. Accomodation and restaurant was very good. ##### predoshni ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 19 Feb 2017 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Stay in February. Reception could not find our booking as says head office was on the computer. The restaurant did not have lettuce, feta or haloumi cheeses also after one beer did not have any more of that kind, also only 3 types of white wine, very expensive. The chalet was average clean, chair in the lounge broken and second day no water after they said it was repaired, so left on the 3rd day unable to shower etc. staff did not seem bothered about anything. Very disappointed overall. ##### Verified traveller ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 13 Feb 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness #### Naja Leider etwas muffig und nicht so gut geführt. Das Restaurant war gut. ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Roshalen 2 Dec 2016 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Basic but all facilities necessary Basic facilities but comfortable stay Initially booked into a chalet which was dirty and poorly maintained but on complaining staff changed our chalet. The 2nd chalet was clean and updated. ##### Roshalen ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aline 29 Nov 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hotel legal Passei somente uma noite, o quarto tinha cheiro muito forte de lugar fechado por muito tempo, então tivemos que deixar tudo aberto pra ventilar, mas no geral era bem bonitinho e confortável. ##### Aline ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sean Bester 17 Oct 2016 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Loved it, definately coming back soon ##### Sean Bester ### 6/10 Okay #### Mfundo 26 Sept 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Relaxing hotel I had a great relaxing time. ##### Mfundo ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 7 Jun 2016 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beware - Pictures are misleading We booked a 3 bed apartment through this site - the pictures showed a lovely, clean and fresh thatched cottage, what we got was one of the flat-roofed cottages which was neither lovely nor fresh! I can only speak for unit 11, but all three of the bedroom ceilings were covered in what looked like a black mould - I assume this was from dampness in the roof. There were also a few other issues like the en-suite door being broken and the one window frame was broken with the glass pane was sitting at an angle (to name just a couple of examples). When we complained about the room, the staff told us that the thatched cottages are all timeshare units and are not available to book online. There were no other rooms available and there was no way we were going to make the epic drive back to civilisation in the dark so we had no choice but to stay. On a positive note, the staff were friendly and as helpful as they could be; the handyman arrived to fix the door and replace a light bulb within a couple of hours (although the sliding door came off the hinges again the first time it was used). The cleaner had also done her best with what she had to work with. As this is the "wild coast" I had expected to "rough it" to a certain extent but the state of the ceilings is unacceptable. PS - there are no TV's in the room (you can hire a TV and DVD's at an additional cost). Maybe this is part of the charm of escaping from it all... but then they should not say there is cable TV. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Melanie, Durban 12 May 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Awesome relaxing stay with beautiful scenery and the staff where all very friendly and helpful ##### Melanie ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 28 Jan 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Wild Coast der Name ist Programm Die Anreise von Coffee Bay ist etwas abenteuerlich aber auch ohne 4x4 machbar. Die Umgebung ist traumhaft. Habe mit dem jungen Führer Prince die Kustenwanderung nach Coffee Bay und die Village Tour gemacht absolut empfehlenswert. Essen und Frühstück waren gut. Zimmer sind meist mit Küche und Grillmoglichkeit. Auf dem Gelände ist ein kleiner Shop. ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Alexandra Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kos-Hotels-Alexandra-Beach-Hotel.h4506117.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Brighton and Hove](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-And-Hove-Hotels.d6309409.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Beach Resorts & Hotels in Carcavelos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carcavelos-Lisbon-District-Hotels-Beach-Hotels.0-n182223-0-tBeachHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Dormy House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cromer-Hotels-Dormy-House-Hotel.h7070346.Hotel-Information) > > [Newport Student Village - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Newport-Student-Village.h11861898.Hotel-Information) > > [1 Bedroom Apartment, Sunset Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Adeje-Hotels-1-Bedroom-Apartment.h33140657.Hotel-Information) > > [Almar Giardino di Costanza Mazara del Vallo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mazara-Del-Vallo-Hotels-Giardino-Di-Costanza-Resort.h1095179.Hotel-Information) > > [Manor of Groves Hotel, Golf & Health Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sawbridgeworth-Hotels-Manor-Of-Groves.h120015.Hotel-Information) > > [Aparthotel Colombo Roma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Aparthotel-Colombo-Roma.h2541114.Hotel-Information) > > [The Boardwalk Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Elizabeth-Hotels-The-Boardwalk-Hotel.h5431069.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near St. Andrew Square](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Andrew-Square-Hotels.0-l507670-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Mountain Hotels in Crete](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Crete-Mountain-Hotel.0-0-d180100-tmountainhotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [The Seaton Lane Inn - The Inn Collection Group](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seaham-Hotels-The-Seaton-Lane-Inn.h2748219.Hotel-Information) > > [Almaria Ex Libris Chiado](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lisbon-District-Hotels-Almaria-Ex-Libris-Chiado.h15970691.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Hot Tubs in Dublin](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Hotels-With-Hot-Tubs.0-0-d178256-tHotelsWithHotTubs.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Boston (BOS) to Gatwick (LGW)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bos/lgw/boston-to-london) > > [Flights from Bangkok (BKK) to Koh Samui (USM)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bkk/usm/bangkok-to-samui-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Birmingham (BHX) to Mexico City (MEX)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhx/mex/birmingham-to-mexico-city) ### Cars > [Car hire in Anchorage](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Anchorage.d178230.Car-Hire-Guide) > > [Centauro Car Rentals In Malaga](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Centauro-Car-Rentals-In-Malaga.d312-c1015.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Activities > [Things to do in Kathmandu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Kathmandu.d1938.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Lapland Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lapland.d6056258.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Canton of Ticino Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canton-Of-Ticino.d6051991.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Niagara Falls - Western New York Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Niagara-Falls-Western-New-York.d6056506.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### Holiday Rentals > [Warrington Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warrington-Holiday-Rentals.d5462.Travel-Guide-HolidayRentals) ### General > [Visit Domburg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Domburg.dx6051567) > > [Visit Bradford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bradford.dx4981) > > [Visit Llanaelhaearn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llanaelhaearn.dx3000438697)
