• Sphamandla (8/5): The stay was pleasant; the house is well looked after even the garden is full of beautiful flowers - Private bathroom The tissue was not provided in the bathroom
• Eric (7/5): Okay place but shared facilities. - There were some real positives about this place. It was clean, the little shared kitchen was excellent for preparing a small meal and the owners/staff were lovely people and very friendly. There is also a laundry machine which was a nice perk. It was also nicely situated close to the beach for a little stroll. Like some of the other reviews noted, you need to read the listing carefully. It is a shared house with individual rooms for each guest. This also means two of the rooms share a bathroom. While the space was all clean and we didn't overlap with the other bathroom user too much, it was not something we were used to in South Africa as all other accommodations had their own bathroom. It's not bad, just be aware of it. You are also at the mercy of other guests and their noise levels while in the kitchen or the living room. Some of the other guests were a bit noisy but they went to their room around 9:30-10 so that quieted down a good amount. The overhead fan in our room also didn't work. There was a plug in fan instead, which sort of worked but kept getting stuck and would click non stop. There is also only one plug in the room making it hard to use the fan and charge our devices at the same time. Lastly, despite the shared bathroom, this ended up being our third most expensive accommodation during a month in South Africa behind Cape Town and Durban. We felt the cost for it was pretty high for what you get. All that said, this wasn't a bad place, just some things you need to be aware of before you book. The owners were also lovely people so no issues at all there and perhaps they will look into a few of these things.

• Asunder (5/5): Keep on trying, u are almost there - The place is so nice n it's quite, friendly guy called Haward, he welcomed us very nicely Only if the place can be for the guests only not with the family but we can see that the business is still new so u are trying. Also u can try guests not to share only one TV atleast each bedroom must have it's own
• Khala (1/5): Bad -
• Sindisiwe (9/5): House was spotless I like that the beach was a few walks away. - House was very clean and comfortable, it felt like home away from home. I didn't really like sharing the house with strangers.
• Sylvia (10/5): The place was perfect and the service provided was the best. - The location was perfect. I loved that I could walk to the beach. That I had to leave for work
• Phathiswa (10/5): Exceptional - Staff was very friendly and i liked their rooms Nothing
• Vinesh (8/5): Very good -
• Sanele (4/5): Disappointing - The place is okay if you book the entire place all 3 bedrooms, not to share with strangers. The location of the place is nice close to Port Edward i really enjoyed driving to Mac Banana and Wild Coast It could be that i didn't read the description properly but what i didn't lilke was that i thought i had booked the entire place.
• Zithobile (9/5): Superb -

• Mushonga (10/5): Exceptional -
• Thandeka (5/5): Passable - I liked the kitchen area and bathroom. The bedroom was also pretty decent, the staff was really generous and kind, which was amazing. I did not like the fact that there are no staff cabins, the staff share the guest house with the guests. They really tried to be invisible, but we still shared mostly the kitchen and bathroom.
