We arrived to a welcoming and hospitable staff who was more than accommodating to our every need. While the overall stay, the daily breakfast, the ambiance and location were more than we could ask, the bathroom was not 100% clean on arrival. Staff quickly remedied the matter and we were not the least bit inconvenienced. Would absolutely stay there again!! ##### Garrett Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### mary joan 11 Aug 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort They were so helpful and accommodating.

We booked the 2 bedroom family sweet (named Mikkwood). It was beautiful with great Air Con and a balcony. The pool was really nice. Breakfast was excellent and made to order and the WiFi was really strong. The best part of this hotel however was the staff. They were really helpful and let us keep the ro for a few hours longer due to a late flight out. The location is great, walk to the beach and a short drive/UBer to the Umhlanga village. I highly recommend this hotel. ##### Robert ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 2 Apr 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely Guest House Such a lovely Guest House and super friendly staff!

Nice property, nice staff and clean rooms ##### Mohammad ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 11 Feb 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Room comfort #### Ruhige, sichere Lage Das Guesthouse ist attraktiv gestaltet und bietet Parkplatz, kleinen Swimmingpool, schön ausgestattete Räume. Wir hatten ein "luxury room" gebucht, was sich als sehr kleines, enges Zimmer herausstellte, mit dem überhaupt nicht zufrieden waren. Die Managerin ließ uns wissen, dass "luxurious" gleichbedeutend sei mit "standard room", eine Aussage, die wir nicht nachvollziehen konnten. Die anderen - offenbar attraktiven - Zimmer seien "superior", und ein solches hatten wir nicht gebucht.Lage Wir fühlten uns betrogen, aber vielleicht stimmt ihre Aussage (?), dass das "luxury room" tatsächlich auch als "standard room" in SA gilt, allerdings haben wir diese Version auf unseren diversen Afrika-Besuchen noch nie kennengelernt. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Therese 5 Feb 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Gut aufgehoben Unsere Gastgeberin war immer präsent und mit guten Tipps zur Hand, aber immer diskret im Hintergrund.
