The only disappointment was in the morning as we had to wait for an hour for our breakfast. First the chef was late and when she arrived, there was no gas to cook the food and this led to a long wait and we had to eat in a hurry to get to our appointment on time. when we arrived we were told that we did not have breakfast included and we had to convince the lady to check correctly as we had chosen the option with breakfast. ##### Liver Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 16 Oct 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2017 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [On The Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Durban-North-Hotels-On-The-Beach.h100470383.Hotel-Information) > - [The Palace of the Lost City at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Palace-Of-The-Lost-City-At-Sun-City-Resort.h392096.Hotel-Information) > - [Gooderson Drakensberg Gardens Golf & Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Drakensberg-Gardens-Hotels-Gooderson-Drakensberg-Gardens-Golf-Spa-Resort.h890693.Hotel-Information) > - [Loxley House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nottingham-Road-Hotels-Loxley-House.h8767953.Hotel-Information) > - [Dolphin View Cabanas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Umdloti-Hotels-Dolphin-View-Cabanas.h10410615.Hotel-Information) > - [The Cabanas Hotel at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Cabanas-Hotel-At-Sun-City-Resort.h9459.Hotel-Information) > - [St Ives Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lidgetton-West-Hotels-St-Ives-Lodge.h15053557.Hotel-Information) > - [The Estuary Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Edward-Hotels-The-Estuary-Hotel-And-Spa.h11733911.Hotel-Information) > - [Sanbona Wildlife Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barrydale-Hotels-Sanbona-Wildlife-Reserve.h1155735.Hotel-Information) > - [Mdluli Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Mdluli-Safari-Lodge.h38870272.Hotel-Information) > - [Margate Beach Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margate-Hotels-Margate-Beach-Club.h9458217.Hotel-Information) > - [Ardmore Guest Farm](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ardmore-Hotels-Ardmore-Guest-Farm.h15216694.Hotel-Information) > - [Sebatana Private Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vaalwater-Hotels-Sebatana-Private-Reserve.h32459379.Hotel-Information) > - [Curry's Post Bed and Breakfast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Currys-Post-Hotels-Currys-Post-Bed-And-Breakfast.h27154186.Hotel-Information) > - [Pumba Private Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grahamstown-Hotels-Pumba-Private-Game-Reserve.h2319463.Hotel-Information) > - [The Cascades Hotel at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Cascades-Hotel-At-Sun-City-Resort.h9515.Hotel-Information) > - [Dragon Peaks Mountain Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cathkin-Park-Hotels-Dragon-Peaks-Mountain-Resort.h34495912.Hotel-Information) > - [Sandy Place](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Lucia-Hotels-Sandy-Place.h44888403.Hotel-Information) > - [Rukiya Safari Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Rukiya-Safari-Camp.h18302655.Hotel-Information) > - [Kwa Maritane Self-Catering Chalets](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Kwa-Maritane-Self-Catering-Chalets.h22471915.Hotel-Information) > - [Blue Marlin All-Inclusive Seascape by Dream Resorts](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Scottburgh-Hotels-Blue-Marlin-Hotel.h10019868.Hotel-Information) > - [Rhino Sands Safari Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jozini-Hotels-Rhino-Sands-Safari-Camp.h29303627.Hotel-Information) > - [Selborne Golf Estate, Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pennington-Hotels-First-Group-Selborne-Golf.h4329711.Hotel-Information) > - [Vuyani River Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Vuyani-Tented-Camp-All-Inclusive.h57157744.Hotel-Information) > - [Sun City Hotel and Casino](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-Soho-Hotel-Casino-At-Sun-City-Resort.h527184.Hotel-Information) > - [Vuyani Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Vuyani-Safari-Lodge-All-Inclusive.h36961786.Hotel-Information) > - [The Oyster Box](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Umhlanga-Hotels-The-Oyster-Box.h2939964.Hotel-Information) > - [Zulu Rock Lodge - Babanango Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ulundi-Hotels-Babanango-Game-Reserve-Zulu-Rock-Lodge.h53812368.Hotel-Information) > - [Valley Lodge - Babanango Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ulundi-Hotels-Babanango-Game-Reserve-Babanango-Valley-Lodge.h31783059.Hotel-Information) ---
