Guest Reviews
- Konrad (10/5): -
- Lise (10/5): What a wonderful and kind host! Fantastic stay - will recommend to all! - Thank you so much to Andre for being the most wonderful and kind host. There was nothing that was not too much for Andre. I was there with my son for 6 nights and it was really comfortable, with everything that we could need. Andre's hospitality just makes one want to come back again. Nothing
- Patrick (10/5): - Beautiful place Nothing

- Saskia (10/5): Mooie plek met erg vriendelijke eigenaar - Heerlijke plek met een zeer comfortabele kamer. Een fijn groot bed en alles super schoon. De eigenaar, André, was zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Hij bracht en haalde ons op toen we naar een Wildlife santuary gingen (Free Spirit Sanctuary, steun die mensen!) en onze auto daar niet kon komen. Rommelig maar gezellig plaatsje met een mooi strand. Zeer de moeite waard! Niks
- Tricia (9/5): Comfortable stay with everything you'd need for a relaxing getaway. - Great location close to restaurants and shops in Sodwana. Comfortable rooms with generator for backup power. Well-stocked kitchen for self catering. Reliable WiFi. Beautiful gardens to relax in. Very accommodating host.
- Laura (10/5): Great stay for Sodwana bay. - Great accomodation in Sodwana. Close to some good restaurants. Andre helps you out with everything. There is a kitchen in the apartments and also a bigger kitchen outside with oven what you can use. Best thing is that you can borrow the bodyboards. The ocean is great! We did some diving with Big Blue Nothing
- James (10/5): - Great place to stay - Andre is a legend and was super helpful whenever we needed anything during our stay!
- Charles Lennox (10/5): - What a beautiful place to stay warm and welcoming Everything was just exceptional
- Ally (8/5): - Host was extremely friendly. House was neat.
- Jeremy (8/5): Good, comfortable stay. Good value for money. - Very friendly staff. The cottages are private and comfortable- good location Shower needs a bit of attention 🙃
- declan (9/5): -
- Chantel (10/5): Will definitely visit again! - Andre was an amazing host, the house was clean and comfy and the children had a blast.
- Nicola (10/5): Perfect - The property had everything you would need for a relaxed Sodwana getaway. Andre and the staff could t do enough for us. Nothing
- Josephine (10/5): -
- Motsai Nkete Bev (10/5): - Everything is just perfect, the place is neat and clean, close to the beach as well, restaurants everywhere, you can easily acess places without struggling.

- Keagan (10/5): -
- Mogorosi Solly Monama (9/5): Great, relaxing, and comfortable. - The place quiet, clean, and great to stay in. Very family friendly and feels like the real outdoor-sie facility. Just the right place to be when you are in the Sodwana Bay area. Nothing, nothing at all.
- Gerry (8/5): Unique, welcoming; all enhanced by the enthusiasm, exuberance and individualism of the of the owner.. - It is an unusual if not a slightly quirky property; full of character reflecting the owner’s taste and dare I say it, alternative style. We loved it!! It is a large building with bedrooms to the side of a central communal area and a very well equipped kitchen. It is a home from home - comfortable and welcoming- founded on the use of casual furnishings. It’s not the Ritz neither should it be!! The rooms are slightly dated but cleanliness, the provision of all the facilities we needed and comfortable beds made it a great 3-day stay. There is little doubt that the regeneration of Reefteach after the owner bought it a year ago is a work in progress. There are a number of areas that need attention- missing external stair tiles, holes in a bathroom door, faulty toilet cistern-, but all of these were overshadowed by the exuberant, enthusiastic and exceptionally helpful owner, Andre. His enthusiasm for his life time project was infectious; his clear desire to provide an unparalleled service and by ensuring we all had a good experience made it a memorable stay!!
- Hlelile (8/5): - The host took care of us. We were there for a birthday outing. He got beautiful helium balloons for us from town. Nothing
- Guest (9/5): -
- Hill (7/5): - Beautiful gardens and pool. Coffee etc provided but no milk.
- Marie-Claude (10/5): - We had an amazing time, the place is calm and laid back, the house is incredibly well equipped, comfortable and clean. The host Andre is very responsive and enjoys helping guests around.
- Louis (10/5): Great place with great host. - The facilities were great and the owner really went the extra mile.
- Antonio (9/5): - El personal, dispuesto a ayudar en todo para hacer más agradable tu estancia
- LUGZ98713 (5/5): - Spacious Very dated furniture and bathroom.
Bed had rodent droppings, from ceiling, very uneasy night 😔.
Power kept tripping about 11pm, was awoken by host, which was helpful, however, wasn't rested for work the next morning.
- FREDERIC (9/5): - L’accueil et la disponibilité du gérant 👍
- Odile (8/5): Une bonne adresse - Accueil sympa. Bien placé.
Nous avions deux chambres dans une grande maison avec un espace cuisine salon spacieux et agréable. Chambre du rez-de-chaussée un peu sombre. Extérieurs bien aménagés.
Bons conseils pour les plongées.
Attention, peu d'opportunités pour les restaurants à Sodwana Bay.
- Jawaad (10/5): - Great location and well maintained property. Very good customer service and friendly staff, all the little extras was a great surprise. Nothing
- Virginie (9/5): - Andre est un hôte très accueillant, très sympathique. Le jardin est magnifique avec un petit bassin (pas de moustique - début septembre) On voit qu'ici on aime la nature.Tout est soigné. Nous avons choisi le logement indépendant mais intégré à la propriété, très confortable. Nous y avons passé 3 nuits (calmes) car nous avions réservé des plongées dans un centre de plongée à Sodwana Bay de façon indépendante. La propriété est sécurisée avec un parking à l'intérieur devant le jardin et le logement. Bien situé pour accéder facilement au site de plongée, avec un restaurant sympa juste à côté. Andre conseille sur les restos et autres. Nous avons même observé l'éclipse de lune du parking avec Andre et le gardien. Très sympa ! On s'y sent bien. Bref, nous recommandons fortement ! --
- Raheel (10/5): Great stay at a beautiful accommodation! - Great and spacious accommodation. Nice swimming pool, kitchen with all the facilities you need. Andre is a good host and the ladies keep the accommodation very clean. Sodwana Bay is a great place for diving, relaxing and visiting the beach. There are also a couple of nice restaurants. Nothing.
- Brydon (8/5): -
- Marielle (8/5): - Erg prettige plek, onwijs vriendelijk ontvangen
- Marce Van MOERKERKEN (10/5): Exceptional stay - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Staying at ReefTeach Lodge was an absolute pleasure. From the moment we arrived, Andre made us feel incredibly welcome. He’s not just a host — he’s a genuinely kind and thoughtful person who goes above and beyond to make sure guests feel comfortable and cared for. Communication was easy and warm, and he handled everything with professionalism and a personal touch.
The lodge itself is cozy, clean, and perfectly located — close to everything, yet peaceful enough to feel like a relaxing retreat. You can tell a lot of heart has gone into making the space feel inviting and comfortable. The little touches throughout the place really made it feel like a home away from home.
Andre’s hospitality was truly next level, and we left feeling grateful and refreshed. Highly recommend ReefTeach Lodge to anyone visiting the area — you won’t find a better host or a better vibe.
Thank you again, Andre! We’ll definitely be back. 🙏🏼✨

- Miriam (9/5): A safe, clean and comfortable stay for the whole family! I would not hesitate to book here again. - Reefteach Lodge was located in a secure property with a magnificent garden and swimming pool. Our rooms both had air conditioning and en-suite bathrooms. They were very clean and comfortable. One room was very spacious and also had a fridge and coffee bar. Kitchen, lounge and dining facilities were shared with other guests, which made for nice interactions. There is nothing I can think of that could be improved.

- Skhumbuzo (2/5): Very poor - Safety, the place has 24hr security. The room was spacious. The room was clean but the bedding was not clean, the sheets had red/brown spots and marks, the duvet also had marks, one pillow was torn. The only thing that smelled and looked clean was the towels which we used to cover ourselves under the duvet. The place smelled damp,
