    I liked the location, it's a couple of minutes away from the beach. The place is super quiet and private, there is no noise in the complex. The owner also keeps to their space and gives you as the tenant the freedom to move about without feeling like you're monitored. Super nice place, highly recommended.

    Ironing was a bit problem because electricity was tripping, luckily our neighbor was around because that's where DB box was located. Secondly, the microwave was not working.

    The location was awesome for us as a couple

    Note they dont supply soap, toiletries of any sort The accommodation, whilst very adequate is not 5 star - main bed needs upgrading - fridge is old but functioning, Breakfast is not included in the price but was offered if required.

    We loved our stay - location is great, facilities - great pool and parking under shade at your door. The host was amazing - friendly, helpful and very obliging - couldn't do enough for us. The hostess was away and her husband did everything possible to make sure we had everything we needed.

    The bathroom/toilet facilities could be updated, but for the cost it was well worth the stay.

    Professional, communicative and welcoming host. Excellent value for money in an excellent location in Umhlanga.

    The restroom is quiet small, and it is a tight fit to close the door. The refrigerator was, unfortunately, leaking, which resulted in a wet floor. Furthermore, the television's operating system appears to be outdated, and an upgrade would be beneficial for navigating and viewing channels. Regrettably, I was only able to access YouTube.

    Nothing.

    Everything

    Nothing. It was absolutely unacceptable. What I saw on the Booking.com website was not what we saw in reality. We took pictures of the accommodation and left immediately we called the owner and informed him of our decision. He said that we must contact Booking.com for a refund. I went online the same evening and logged a complaint. Twice. I have then called your Support number and spoke to 2 different consultants. No resolution yet. To which email address can I send the pictures we took? If there is no resolution, I will take this to Hello Peter and post our experience on Facebook and other social media platforms

    When you open the freezer section, the rubber above that was quiet dirty. The toilet is quiet small, the 80 year old man I was with couldn't wipe his bottom. The sunlight soap was terribly watered down, but Kay was kind to top up a bit for us.

    The location great, hospitality awesome, Kay was the best. Having the wifi modem in the room was good, many pots and appliances. The aircon and fan lovely, your manager also very kind, very nice size cottage, plenty packing space. Your manager kindly swopped a sleeper couch for a bed and that was fabulous tx again for that. The heat was nuts and he allowed me to use the poop for a few minutes before allocated time, that was greatly appreciated.

    A lot 😩 the inside had a bad smell the bedding too many ugly colors, the pillows smelling like someone else used it and never changed🥴, everything inside is old, the set up is a disaster, there was a tea set but no kettle, there was a ironing board but no iron, and we called for help they never answer or return the call, it was extremely hot the aircon was not cold enough and there were cockroaches... yooo😩 all I can say is, that guest house needs a women's touch and she must take everything that is inside and burn it... Let me stop here 😔
