"Prima Guesthouse met gunstige ligging, vriendelijk personeel en goed ontbijt"

9.0

Gunstige ligging tov restaurants met een hele lieve dame die ons ontving

Jammer dat we de eigenaren niet ontmoet hebben en er niemand in de bar was. Dat zag er op de foto’s gezellig uit, maar was het bij ons niet

Very friendly staff, beautiful villa as a guesthouse. Unfortunately can't give more than a 10. My group was very happy with that place - quiet, clean, cozy.

"We stayed at Anchor's Rest for nearly a month. We found it hard to leave to come home to UK."

10.0

A good choice for breakfasts and freshly cooked each time. The location was only a couple of blocks from the shopping area but not close to the beach. Umhlanga Rocks is quite hilly so to get to the beach you must go down a fairly steep hill. Walking back up is good exercise but hard for the elderly. There is always a Uber or taxi. The room was perfect. We stayed in Strelitzia which had its own patio (no sea view but beautiful palms and trees) with a good awning to give you shade. Had our morning cuppa and ate any meals we had everyday on the patio. It was so nice. Staff were all welcoming and kind.

We found the beds too hard for us (80 year olds) because of our age but lots of people don't worry if the bed is hard. The staff were wonderful and gave me extra padding on top of the mattress which mad it much better.

Zeer vriendelijk en gastvrij. Ontbijt met voldoende keuze en smaakvol De self-catering bar was ideaal. Drankje bij de bar zelf pakken en in het schriftje noteren, bij vertrek afrekenen. En niet duur.

er viel niets tegen
