Guest Reviews

• Qiniso Mthokozisi (7/5): -
• ZIETSMAN (10/5): Great value for money comfortable accommodation. - Great location, tasty breakfast with a choice of dishes.
• Molapo (10/5): - Friendly Staff,professionalism, cleanliness,safety and condusive atmosphere. Nothing
• Menzi (10/5): - Its a quiet place. We had a great stay
• Mabuchi Maria Dama (10/5): - The place is close to the beach! Clean and warm staff! Nqobile and Pretty were exceptional 👌!
• Mondli (7/5): - ​The stay was disappointing for a few key reasons. First, we suffered with the parking; it was a major struggle and very inconvenient. Second, the room was poorly furnished as there were no chairs to sit on. Finally, there was a persistent smell of cigarettes in the room. I want to clarify that the room was actually clean, so it isn't a fault of the cleaning staff, but the lingering smell made the environment unpleasant. For a "Luxury Suite," these issues really let the experience down
• Thandeka Ntusi (7/5): - Location Towels
• Gary (7/5): -
• Xolani (5/5): Below Expectation Experience - The staff were friendly. The breakfast was not good. The TV channels were unavailable and reception did not respond to calls on both the bookong line and the reception phone numbers. Too many tripping hazards on your way to the loo, from the bed.

• Johan (3/5): -
• Maria (8/5): Peacefull bliss. - Freshly prepared breakfast served on time. Lovely staff compliment. A few meter stroll to beautifull blue flag beach. Very secluded, secure and peacefull establishment. Aircon leaked a bit.

• Francois (8/5): - Comfortable rooms and friendly staff None
• Smangele (6/5): - It was easy to find, near the beach ⛱️ complimentary breakfast 😋, There was no door in the toilet and no microwave in the room
• Lingiwe (8/5): - It was ok. We didn't know we needed to notify the staff of what we were going to eat in advance, so we went down for breakfast and was told they didn't have our selections so they needed to start from scratch which we didn't mind however it sounded more like a complaint :-(. I also requested that we sit out side but the lady asked us to sit inside because the table outside had been used. I insisted that we preferred the outside table and if someone can clean it and then it was cleaned. Wasn't happy with the attitude of the breakfast staff.
• Naresh Kumar (8/5): It was a nice and pleasant stay and all the staff were good but i can remember doreen and pretty - Doreen and team breakfast was so good. Location is ok. There should be more lights or solar lights on the outside as each time i came to the hotel late at night it was always dark. I was in room 1 and there was no light leading to it it was dark and requested doreen to change the bulb for the outside and it was done. Thank u doreen u r the best. Even it was dark when leaving the compound of the hotel at night from the exit gate. Please improve light else everything was good. Will visit again for sure.
• Zakhele (8/5): Wonderful - Everything Nothing
• Wayne (5/5): -
• Nozie (8/5): - The room was clean and spacious. The balcony and walkway (stairs) to the pool were dirty. A little cleanup would do.
• Eric (5/5): -
• pashy (8/5): - The location Breakfast
• Nonkululeko (10/5): -
• Neeresh (9/5): Kool Vibes - I like the privacy. The staff is helpful and friendly. Safe area with close amenities. Beach is easily accessible.
• Sagaran (3/5): - Nothing This accommodation is not a hotel, it doesn't cater like an hotel should, it's just an BNB.
• Goodoon (7/5): -
• Ntombifikile (7/5): -
• Natasha (10/5): - Lovely place, friendly
• Adriel (1/5): No water or electricity. - Nothing. The place didn't have electricity or water and thier solar was not working. The rooms are absolutely small for its price and the worse part is the bathroom has no door. The balconies are shared with everyone. So anyone can walk pass your balcony and see you naked in your bathroom. Absolutely bad experience. Because of the water issue. Breakfast was also extremely late. I would never recommend this place to anyone
• Mnandie (8/5): I had a beautiful stay. - It was perfect
• Jeronimo (5/5): -
• Ahmed (3/5): I wouldn’t go back , it was very disappointing especially considering that there is another hotel not too far for a simi - The staff were very friendly and accommodating to certain issues The hygiene and cleanliness was a poor, there was a cockroach in the first room and hair on the bedding , the second room was also not the best and the third room was a much better , but the hygiene throughout the stay was unacceptable
• Robert (7/5): We only used the hotel as a base to travel from - Location is very good No TV channels, only YouTube and Netflix. Staff were too noisy and no assistance with our baggage.
• Sphesihle (8/5): -
• Thula (9/5): - Clean place, friendly staff Toilet is an open plan, not user friendly.
• Susan (7/5): Top Preis Leistung - Eine nette, ruhige Unterkunft. Wir hatten ein schönes Zimmer mit einem tollen Bad. Alles etwas in die Jahre gekommen aber alles noch so gut erhalten, dass man sich wohl gefühlt hat. Das Frühstück war etwas minimalistisch aber frisch gemacht und lecker. Warum ist das Poolwasser immer so kalt 😅 ;-))
• Elizabeth Johanna (9/5): -
• Jacqui (7/5): Great one nighter - Lovely big room, great bed with clean cotton linen. Nice shower and bath. Noise from people below.
• sthenjwa (7/5): - The bedroom was good with free Wi fi. Braai area is a little bit old ,need to cut some trees and need maintenance.
• Antoinée (10/5): Good value for money. - The late check in was very convenient. Breakfast included was a bonus. The staff are incredibly friendly! Loved the shower. WIFI works well! Overall a good experience. Maintenance guys were up and working early. The parking and driveway is a little tight.
• Colin (3/5): For a 4 star, boutique hotel was very disappointed. Expected more for what I paid. - The location was fine, close to beach and amenities. Limited choice of breakfasts. Was dished up cold breakfast one morning. No dishing up spoons for cereals. No side plates for toast. Toast dumped on your plate of food. Never saw the owners. Nobody took any interest in their guests. Staff lounging around in reception eating their food. Areas of the establishment run down and dirty. No staff member explained the remote for the gates upon arrival or assisted with luggage.
• Sundragasen (8/5): -
• Musa (9/5): Beautiful hotel - Friendly staff, they allowed an early check in and late check out due to work demands on my side. Facilities were good Toilet door was never part of their design.
• Thabani (3/5): It was not pleasant. - The breakfast was fine. It was just not ready in time. The attitude of staff was not what I expected. They could be trained.

• Kepa (8/5): -
• Saiesh (10/5): - The friendly staff and the coffee station
• Polo (9/5): - The bathroom To choose breakfast a day before and for 2 days the receptionist gave a wrong orders for breakfast
• Sealogo (7/5): - The breakfast and water is forever hot -Their WiFi was very unstable. -bathroom towels need to be properly washed
• indushni (10/5): Sooo relaxing - Close to beach Lovely bed Bathroom lovely Breakfst great Bedroom needs a rug and a chair TV on wall too low ..can get hurt
• Gugulethu (8/5): - The staff was friendly and welcoming There was an internet problem, could not watch the TV in late hours
• Kritina (1/5): Couldn’t wait to get out of there - It was near the beach The bathroom wasn’t clean. The river stones in the shower hid insects and showed signs of not being properly cleaned. The room was average and so was security.
• Gert (8/5): Luxury Room with a twist - Personnel friendly and helpful. We liked our room: Very clean with a good bed and enough cupboard space. We thought the shower was a strange contraption with stones that didn't feel hygienic, so we bathed instead. The cleaner leaves the chairs on the balcony table which was very uninviting and even rude.
• Nicolene (9/5): - Beautiful spacious room with comfortable beds. Huge bathroom with lovely bath tub and shower. Good breakfast included. Pool on the property as well. A door separating the bathroom & bedroom would have been ideal for some privacy.
• Bongi (5/5): - Breakfast fair The place was not clean
• Magdalene (7/5): -
• Thabang (9/5): Great place but the owners should consider installing signal boosters. Staff was amazing. Thank you. - It was good breakfast and the location was perfect, close to the beach Vodacom/MTN signals was terrible in the room. One had to walk outside to make a call or connect to data services.
• Rudolf Köhne (1/5): Absolutely Terrible. Do Not reccomend! - The Location is great. 1. Room was way smaller than advertised. Only half a meter around the bed. Not even space for a table or chairs. 2. The rooms were Dirty. Dirty Bathtub. Dirty cupboards. Dirty bedding. 3. No Privacy, other guest walk across your balcony to get to breakfast and Pool the entire time and stare into your room. 4. The Bathroom has no Door nor does the shower. 5. The ceiling is starting to drop down, shows lack of maintenance. The beds were slept through you only felt the mattress springs all night. 6. Couldnt Care attitude of staff. 6.1 When i went to the reception to adresse the issues i got the response "OH OK" no apology nothing. When i requested a bigger room they said sorry they are fully booked. I then proceeded to say that i will check out as it does not meet expectations i received the same response "oh ok". I asked for my money back but was told "No, we have a no refund policy" 6.2 The lady in charge sat at reception in her nightgown. 7. Breakfast was ok, however nothing special, we didnt get salt/pepper to the table either. 8. The property is very small so difficult to manouver with a double cab as the "no parking" spots do not get adhered to. 9. I would not reccomend this to anyone due to the customer service.
