The bedrooms were fabulous, very clean with the most comfortable beds I have ever found on holiday. Also the breakfasts were excellent and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The beautiful Indian Ocean is within 2 minutes walking distance and our car was safe with on site parking. Thank you for a wonderful stay. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 10 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### dominic 2 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful and serene environment with a private beach and pool.

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 ### 6/10 Okay #### mark 10 Jun 2025 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Average Clean, average accommodation.

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 8 Dec 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 #### Knut 6 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Myles ist ein exzellenter Gastgeber und war sehr um unser Wohlergehen bemüht und stand und hat uns viele tolle Tipps gegeben.
