Very good

Almost perfect.

Breakfast was amazing the Staff was great. Loved the pool area to relax.

Unfortunately there was a water issue and could not flush without filling up. However the property did provide drinking water and buckets to accommodate. Satisfactory .. It was just the inconvenience.

Wonderful stay in Umhlanga Rocks.

Our host was so helpful and happy to share his knowledge of the area. Perfect location. We loved the pool right next to our very comfortable accommodation. Excellent breakfasts too. A beautiful home.

Everything was great! No problems.

Superb

I would stay here again at my next visit, feels like home.

Excellent location as Umhlanga is a much safer place than Durban. Breakfast is wonderful. Petter makes great cooked breakfast. The pool is right outside the room. Views are lovely. I like this villa. I wished I had booked the bigger room.

Nothing to do with the owners but unfortunately our airco unit didn't work and also the room was quite small and we had 2 big suitcases and 3 lots of hand luggage. We had just done a month on a cruise ship so I wished we had booked a bigger room.
