    I recently had the pleasure of staying at a charming guest house in Umhlanga. The location was perfect - close to Gateway, Umhlanga Rocks, and the village. It made getting around using Bolt very convenient and affordable. The staff, particularly Madelein, were incredibly accommodating and friendly. They provided valuable recommendations on places to visit and made our stay memorable. The rooms were spacious and clean, with a big bathroom and a lovely view. The breakfast offered a wide variety of delicious foods, which we thoroughly enjoyed. this hotel offered great value for money, attention to detail, and a convenient location.

    All was perfect – couldn't ask for more.

    What a wonderful experience! My Christmas at this guesthouse was amazing! the hosts were friendly and attentive, and they made me feel right at home. I loved the stunning views from the patio where I had my breakfast, and the outdoor lounge area and pool was lovely for lazing away. Two complementary items were included, and I enjoyed them both. the location was great too, close to shops and attractions.

    Honestly, I didn't have any major complaints. There were a few minor issues with my room, but they were quickly resolved by the staff.

    This guesthouse has a great location for those seeking an ocean view while being close to the city. the lodgings are nice and comfy, complete with a bar fridge and TV. Guests can enjoy easy access to a mall, the airport, and other attractions. visitors can enjoy a delicious breakfast and appreciate the attention to detail from the friendly staff.

    During rainy weather, the swimming pool is not the best option to enjoy.

    I had such a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location is perfect, close to shops and restaurants, and yet secluded enough to have a peaceful night's sleep. The hotel facilities are fantastic, and I loved spending time in the beautiful garden and swimming in the pool. The breakfast was delicious, and I was impressed by the variety of options. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making me feel welcome throughout my stay.

    Everything was spot on.

    I stayed at this lovely guest house in upper Umhlanga for a few days. My room was huge with a beautiful outside patio and amazing sea view. The neighborhood was quiet and clean. The bathroom was stunning, allowing me to soak in the tub while enjoying the Indian Ocean view. The staff, especially Madeleine, were friendly and accommodating, providing a delicious cooked breakfast and being understanding about the temporary lack of wi-fi due to load shedding. The location was perfect, close to shops, restaurants, and entertainment options.

    Totally recommend this hotel!

    What a fantastic stay! The lodgings were so cozy and warm, making me feel right at home. One of the things I loved was the abundance and deliciousness of the breakfast, which helped fuel my adventures. I also appreciated the easy access to key locations without much hassle.

    While the room had all the necessary amenities, the check-in process was a bit confusing as there was no staff around. It took some time to locate someone to show me to my room.

    We loved the amazing sea view from the patio, the beautiful pool and lounging area, and the friendly staff. the lodge's close proximity to the beach and shopping areas was also a great advantage for us as a couple.

    We felt extremely safe during our stay and had nothing to complain about.
