Guest Reviews

• Vidima (7/5): -
• Ngcobo (8/5): Relaxed and peaceful - Everything Nothing
• Nomfundo (9/5): - The place was nice and clean, easy to access and the host was very friendly. Check out was at 12 which was perfect, we could sleep in a bit longer Shower needs those plastic mats cause the other ones get wet during showering
• snenhlanhla (10/5): Our lil heaven - I liked the bed, the detached stay, very private. Water always hot, speedy Wifi. Unlimited TV channels. Very secure and safe. I wish I got the names but I always forget people's names. Obviously no view, it's behind everything else. But it's a safe place.
• Zikhona (10/5): I enjoyed my stay,the place was clean and comfortable. - The place was clean and safe. Nothing
• Anelisa (10/5): It’s really good place to go to if you want to escape from city life for a bit - Privacy is top tier ❤️🤞
• Phumeza (8/5): -
• MOSEKIDI (8/5): -
• Wellen (10/5): -
• Thando (8/5): Great short stay - The hosts were great. Communication and understanding, I truly appreciated it and location is quite central to everywhere we needed to go.
• Asanda (9/5): It was great! - It’s really peaceful. Nothing.
• Tsolele (3/5): improvement needed bcz what in the pictures are not like when you there physically - Nothing impressive Parking,kitchen not separated to bedroom and space minimal, no stoves as they said
• Sindane (8/5): -
• Fourie (7/5): Exceptional - The serenity of the place. Snuggled between greenery. Conveniently allocated close to the main beach. The warmth and friendliness of the staff just added the cherry on the cake.
• Tshianeo (10/5): - Everything, very quite and you mind your own business, i had privacy. Naledi the owner shes so carring may Gos bless you and your mother. You both have good hearts. Woke up not feeling well they assistes me with packing and made sure i see a Dr first before i go to airpot. For that Thank you so much Honestly nix. The stairs i thought i wont survive but told my self its part of exercise
• Shehzaan (10/5): 5 stars! - The host welcomed me warmly. The cleanliness was up to par, and the overall setup of the room was exceptional - much better than I expected. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who's looking to get a place to stay over in. N/A
• Asanda (8/5): -
• Priscilla (10/5): -
• Mchunu (10/5): -
• Khanya (1/5): Bathroom is disgusting, shower is not sectioned-off and had no doors. - Nothing. When I got to the place, my battery died and there was no buzzer (the assistance said that was intentional) I could use to alert someone I am outside. I had to yell while outside in a place I am not familiar with, when I came back to check if there was another entry way I saw an assistance opening the door. The old lady showed me to the place and my god what a disgustingly dirty place. The bathroom is a pigsty and looks like a prison. I called back the assistant to complain about the bathroom. The biggest issue was that the shower is not sectioned-off from the entire bathroom and had no doors. You literally would have to stand in the middle of the bathroom to shower while water is splattering all over the place. I called the owner to ask about the situation and to give me another room or to refund me my money back and she was rude the entire time and told me there is no other room available and will not refund me my money back. I told her I will escalate the matter with booking,com. I had to check out on the same day 03 November 2025 because I just could not stay there. I was disgusting. The place I used the last time I was in Dbn was booked off and had to resort this place, not knowing it would be like that. I hate it and I hate the treatment I got.

• Mso (9/5): Superb - I love the bedroom (decor & facilities) and the aesthetics of the neighborhood (very green). Location of the establishment is very ideal,quiet & tranquil. The bathroom 🚽 I am not too sure what's the idea of the decor, owner might be trying to get a rustic feel or look but it just seems unfinished.
• Phetolo (7/5): Good -
• Linda (9/5): Superb - Great host! Friendly but gives you your space. She allows early check in should you ask in advance. Good place to stay over night. It's secured with security bars. The bed is comfy and the bathroom always has hot water. The TV has Netflix and the WiFi worked really well throughout the property. It's also close to town so for most people in town for work purposes it will work well. The outside space is of course beautiful! A dehumidifier would be a great addition.
