- Valencia Naidoo (10/5): A Dreamy Coastal Escape Worth Every Cent - It was an absolutely dreamy escape from the hustle and bustle. The location was easy and convenient to find, and the host was incredibly welcoming and thoughtful. Local stores were only a walking distance away. We were fortunate enough to stay in the best suite in the guesthouse, offering a stunning 90-degree view of the garden, pool, and ocean. The suite and guesthouse were pleasantly spotless, adding to the overall sense of comfort and care. For a bed and breakfast, the space was exceptionally well-equipped, including a dining area with crockery and cutlery for guests. The guesthouse also offers snacks and drinks for purchase if you’re feeling peckish. Toiletries were provided, including a mini roll-on and shower gel, which I found to be a generous and thoughtful touch. The space was wonderfully cozy and made it effortless to set the scene for a perfect movie night. I was very tempted to take a quiet midnight dip in the pool, but the heavy rain had other plans—making movie night the perfect alternative. We stayed in Suite 5, which was beautifully secluded and offered an exceptional level of privacy. The scenery and tranquility also make it ideal for a study session or getting a bit of work done during your getaway. This can easily be enjoyed in the garden or at the desk and chair thoughtfully provided in the suite. Overall, both the suite and the guesthouse were peaceful, aesthetically pleasing, and filled with plenty of mirrors—perfect for falling in love with yourself all over again. It was truly worth every cent, if not more. It felt like the kind of place you could happily call home forever. Having to leave — we would have happily stayed forever.
- Fikile (10/5): Great accommodation and beautiful surroundings. - UMhlanga area is very beautiful, and the Lodge met my expectations. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was very clean and comfortable. I loved everything.
- Adele (10/5): Quiet clean Home away from Home - I like that the bed was comfortable and the guest house was very clean and neat. The bathroom has a massive mirror door which was great to get ready.
