- Nokwanda (10/5): -
- Lunga (8/5): - Location They can do better with cleaning the yard and better landscaping.
- Keneilwe (6/5): - We liked the staff,how friendly and professional they are.The food was also good.. We didn't like the smell of the room or towel.It had an antique smell.The breakfast that is included in the people staying at the hotel could be better and more inclusive,not everyone drinks coffee.It should also have tea in the menu.
- Kaashni (8/5): Enjoyed stay. There was confusion about the breakfast which the manager thought wasn't included in - Location
- Sean (7/5): -
- Issy (9/5): -
- Marc (5/5): - Komst van een externe uitbater van een restaurant van op het domein, van vrijdag tot maandag. Erg luidruchtig.
- Africa Memories travel (7/5): - Angel is an asset to your establishment! She is caring and goes the extra mile! Our group of seniors required assistance with late check in and luggage and Angel was on point! Recommend getting the carpets and stain marks removed. Sad about the development infront of your establishment, perhaps a heads up at time of making booking.

- Ephy (7/5): - The location is great Pool
- Slabunova (3/5): - Service No complain 👌

The sheets are fawn and has stains.
Facility is definitely not a 4 star Everything .

- Tayla-michelle (6/5): Decent - The location near the sea, beautiful grounds and bathrooms. Water damage on the walls. Poorly designed room where plugs were too far from the bed that the lamp would not stay on. Light in the bathroom was not working. Breakfast was underwhelming to say the least.
- Erick (10/5): Exceptional - It has beautiful view of the ocean Our rooms were just in front of the restaurant,and you always had to make sure that curtains are closed so at the people outside Cannot see what you are up to

- Deidre (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mickey (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gavin (5/5): A bit disappointing, seeing that I have booked for another stay on Friday to Sunday 12-14 July 2024. - Room #14, carpets were dirty, and the airconditioner didn't work, the breakfast was ok, asked for soft eggs sunny side up, the were overdone unfortunately

- Pinky (10/5): My stay at Fairway Guesthouse - Gorgeous views!!! I cannot think of anything I didn't like
- Sean (9/5): Superb -
- Sean (9/5): Superb -
- Annabe (9/5): Lovely guesthouse at the sea - The guesthouse is easy to get to and well positioned to get from there to meetings in the city center. The view is absolutely great! The telephone and wi-fi signals were not good in the room. There are spots in the garden where it is slightly better.
- Mandisa (5/5): Beautiful area, beautiful sea view, the room was clean. - The sea view was breathtaking. The room is spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was not fresh, it was stale. Bar fridge was very old and rusty.
- Phaphama (6/5): It’s okay but I wouldn’t come back - It’s okay, not what it looks like in pictures The Wi-Fi is very bad, I used my data
- Cyril (8/5): Very good - Rooms and the views were awesome We were not bothering any guests however we were informed that we might be because we were just sitting outside the room having drinks and few laughs.
- Andy (7/5): Overall stay was good. - Great View of the sea and golf course. The bed was comfortable and the staff are friendly and helpful. It is in a great area, not too far from Chartwell Road in Umhlanga. The couch in the room was a bit dirty which did no leave a good impression. The fridge is not in the best state and inside the fridge was a glass bottle of water (not sure if it was filtered or tap water). Bottled still waiter would be preferred. Breakfast was average.
- Patricia (9/5): Superb - Staff very friendly and where the place is located In their rooms they have the old fan lights on the ceiling that is very dusty, old bar fridges that are rusty, no backup generator when there's loadshedding were in the dark for 2 hours.
- Naidoo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lucky (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mpho (8/5): Very good -
- Wb (8/5): Pricey but comfortable getaway in Durban North - Amazing view and patio/balcony area/pool.
The ladies were so helpful and friendly, in particular Angel was such a delight.
Lovely grounds
Peaceful
Comfortable bed
Delicious breakfast and service from staff is superb Bathrooms need renovating as they are old.
The place is quite pricey for the quality of the rooms and bathrooms.
Lack of variety in breakfast offerings
No ice available on the property and you can't order simple sandwiches or meals/drinks should you want this so you must make sure you have all your own food and drink. Only small bar fridge is available in the room hence space is limited.
Extremely annoying roosters are kept on the golf course property in front so you hear them constantly although this is not a fault of the property.
- Ahmed (9/5): Superb -
- Loritta (9/5): Amazing will definitely be back - The staff were very helpful Breakfast was too slow
- Ekaterini (10/5): Beautiful Sea View Guest house - Beautifully decorated huge rooms with stunning views. Very comfortable beds. Silent aircon, ceiling fan, nice size bar fridge, tea coffee station, kettle. Great tv channel selection. Delicious breakfast. Lerina and Angel were very helpful. All staff are great. Gorgeous gardens.
- Navindra (5/5): Beautiful location with very average acommodation. - Excellent location overlooking a golf course and the sea. Towels are not changed daily. Breakfast hours are 6-9 a.m.
Toilet leaked onto the floor when flushed. The room was neat and clean, but worn and in need of a makeover.
- Riyaz (7/5): Good -
- Maluleka (10/5): Exceptional -
- Adriana (2/5): Very poor - The breakfast was nice, and the staff serving the breakfast were very hospitable, efficient and kind. The guest house is well located. Our group of four colleagues travel for work on a monthly basis, and we were all shocked at the treatment and lack of hospitality from the manager. We made our booking for three people via booking.com and were pre-charged the full amount. When we contacted the hotel to ask for the invoice to reflect each of our names for claims purposes and to request an additional two rooms, we were met with a serious lack of effective communication. The manager even went as far as to write in emails with all of us in copy "this is really becoming a nightmare" and "this cannot go on." When I called to make sure the bookings were in order and to clear up any misunderstanding, the manager hung up the phone on me mid-sentence. Later during our stay, management was more amenable (more hospitable, and managed to change the room of our colleague as the room she had been allocated had a strong smell of mold), but had our card not been already charged we would have booked elsewhere.
The property is in need of maintenance, the rooms lack natural light and have a damp smell. There are spiderwebs in many of the lights and corners, and the towels are brown and do not feel clean. The wifi is incredibly spotty and we had trouble downloading simple PDF attachments, even when there was no loadshedding. There are many places in the same area that offer better value for money. We will not be returning.
- Cecilia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Yathirajan (9/5): Superb - Amazing sea view, cleanliness, and the property. Good ambience and privacy, and network connectivity. complementary water bottles wasn't available, and neither a water dispenser (not sure if it was there). Otherwise, its a great location.
- Tara (7/5): Good -
- Hattingh (9/5): Superb - View was magnificent Mattress was great
TV wasn't connected to the decoder
No signal
- Benjamin (9/5): I enjoyed my stay. - Fairway Guesthouse is a lovely property and has nice view of the sea and Beachwood Country Club. Not so sure the property got enough parking space...
- Teddy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Wynand (8/5): Very good -
- Delia (7/5): Good -
- Mbuzi (5/5): It’s not so bad - The staff is friendly the outside surrounding is very beautiful The use brown towels and they recycle them
- Jonathan (1/5): Bad -
- Megan (9/5): Superb -
- Joseph (9/5): Awesome 😎 - Location, tranquility and the scenery👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿
The owner is very jolly Don’t like the fact fact that the owners are selling
- Dean (10/5): Exceptional - Clean and tidy room., beautiful view of the ocean. Loadshedding
- Snyman (10/5): Exceptional - The personal touch towards guests
Will definitely visit again.
- Mfeti (7/5): I had an amazing holiday, and the guest house is beautiful. Thank you for the hospitality. - The location is great, the garden is amazing. The owners hospitality is amazing. I did not like the attitude of some staff, made it sound like I should understand their issues (fact that they need to knock off at 12). No back up when there is no water. Issues with WIFI.

- Johan (7/5): Good -
- Mpho (1/5): Didn’t stay left after one night - Stayed before It is unfortunate because the location and views are amazing. It seems the property operates on a 50/50 maintenance. The 1st floor rooms are well maintained and the the pool/ garden view not. What I experienced was disappointing. The toilet sit was moving not secured, load shedding means dark with minimal light. The bedroom so narrow you basically keep hurting yourself with the corners. You can hear your neighbors flushing toilet and showering.
