Guest Reviews

Tebogo (9/5): - Location is perfect, everything was within walking distance. The view of the beach was very both beatitufl and relaxing. The locals were very friendly and approachable. My partner and I felt very safe and comfortable. Everything met our expectation. There was nothing to dislike.
Lindiwe (6/5): IT WAS BEUTIFUL - THE BEACH NOTHING
Shannon (8/5): -
Garth (7/5): Comortable -
Anderson (10/5): - I like the view of the ocean next to me Everything was perfect
Pauline (8/5): Happy relaxing place - Location. Just across from beach access and near to restaurants/bar. Kitchenette equipment all working well. Steps going up a bit uneven
Sandile (8/5): -
Antoinette (7/5): Basic accommodation right on the beach - Super location and easy access to beach and restaurants etc Bed and pillows were uncomfortable. No beach towels. Small bathroom.
Jacenca (9/5): -
Imke (3/5): Short - Close to beach Felt dirty and not value for money . Needs a lot of upgrading
Bulelwa (2/5): -
Sean Sandham (8/5): Perfect location for any occasion. - Location right on the beach. Nice location outside the main centres. Nothing comes to mind
Ellis (7/5): - Very conveniently situated right on the beach. Simple, clean and easy.
Tony De Jesus (8/5): -
Sally (8/5): - We loved the location- close to the beach and lovely restaurants. (Bear in mind the current is very strong so you only paddle unless you’re in a safe designated swimming spot) I strongly recommend Tasca pizza - their empress pizza is the best pizza I’ve ever eaten. The roof leaked under the deck when we had a braai in the pouring rain
Spencer (8/5): -
Lance (10/5): -
Keneilwe (9/5): -
Telmore (4/5): For the amount I paid I expected more. - Hi. Only think going is the location. Owner used every inch for rondawals. Not the most confutable beds, no kitchen. There is a communal one outside. The gate system suck. I think they charge too much for what they offer. They need to invest more in their beds, kitchen and overall comfort for the visitors. They are able to for the amount they charge. Location s great directly opposite beach but you don't see it at all.
Amanda (9/5): Great location, very clean, room & bed comfortable a great backpacker-type spot. - Great location, very clean, room & bed comfortable

Yolanda (8/5): - Location was excellent, loved the outdoor relaxing area, there were extra things given that made the stay lovely, eg body wash, sweets, tea and coffee, Netflix The apartment overall could have been cleaned better, the inside of the microwave was dirty, the paint on the bathroom ceiling was peeling off onto the floor, dirt on the fridge handles

Phatiswa (1/5): - Nothing They dont change bedding ,the towels were dirty
Chetty (5/5): -
Deirdre (9/5): Left plotting how to move in permanently. - Location was perfect, check‑in so easy it felt suspiciously magical, staff were friendly enough to make me wonder if they were secretly angels, and the room was clean, comfortable, and smelled like heaven had a linen closet. One extra hook in the bathroom would have saved me from inventing “towel origami.”
natalie (9/5): -
McInnes (8/5): - Proximity to the beach and the friendliness of the staff. The fact they allowed dogs and an early check in added to the great experience. Aircon was a bonus and the view from the balcony of the ocean was spectacular.
Kribashnee (6/5): -
Bronwen (10/5): An oasis will a chill vibe. - Very clean. Has self catering facilities but just a walk down the road will get you to some excellent restaurants. Staff were very friendly and efficient. We felt deeply welcomed. Location is brilliant. Close to airport and 50m from the beautiful Umdloti beach. 😍 Nothing!
Thilo (5/5): - The place however was not well equiped not even a can opener and lacked maintenance the kitchen cupboard doors hanged loose, back door struggled to open and ceiling fans were not cleaned in 6 years. Moreover not pet friendly as no place to let dogs go out without being in street. Limited parking being parked in at night.

bricknell (7/5): -

Ashika (8/5): - It clean No sink in room for washing dishes
Alan (7/5): - Very near to beach, Unit did not have any beach view.
Warren (9/5): - Location and proximity to the airport. Lack of parking.
Andry (10/5): -
Thulile (4/5): Disappointing - The location is perfect, right across the beach I accept that there is a challenge caused by humidity, however the property owner should invest in proper ventilation. The one room did not even have a window in the bathroom. The musty smell is overwhelming especially when you open the cupboards. The cutlery was dirty and there was sand in the bed, which means the sheets were probably not changed
Tusiwe (8/5): - Close to the beach and restaurants The rooms need renovation and the shower is too small and needs to be maintained
Steve (10/5): -
Shannon (7/5): -
Viljoen (9/5): -

Lindsay (8/5): -
Athena (10/5): Good value for money in a prime location - Excellent location and very comfortable accommodation- had a great stay! Nothing
Goldsbrough (9/5): Short but very pleasant stay - we would stay here again - Surf Motel was an ideal destination for us as we had to catch an early flight the following morning. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the easy access to Umdloti Beach. Nothing - all was good.
Lyn (5/5): It did the job but comfort is important to me. - The view and location The bedding was done, the duvet was so thin also no cushions on the TV chairs and when asked to provide, the blanket from the bed was used as a cushion. This is easily remedied and I’m looking forward to staying there again.
Thomas (10/5): - Very nice and beautiful place. Price is a bit high for what you get
Devan (8/5): -
Sharon (5/5): - The location is perfect. The place needs a good cleaning. The bathrooms are disgusting. The shower curtain had mold on it. The place needs proper cleaning. Very unhygienic.
Pravi (8/5): -
Egbert (4/5): - Location is on th beach Everything is old and not great quality. It is clean and affordable. It is good value for money. You get what you pay for. I should have just expected less because it was so cheap.

Linda (9/5): - Great location! Relaxed vibe
