Clean and quiet

Far exceeded my expectations

10.0

Reviewing as a guest as well as a fellow bnb owner, even though its only been afew months, I can honestly say this is by far one of the best places I've stayed. I've even stolen afew ideas for my own extension plans🤭 Everything a guest needs is on hand and readily available for use. Ample space for clothing and empty suitcases for long stays. Any info you might need is on the wall signage or the dresser. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Shops are 5 minutes away and you can get in and out of the area without much traffic issues. Overall, I'll definitely rebook whenever I need to stay over in Umhlanga.

It was an over night early rush, I didnt have breakfast

The room was clean and great, friendly atmosphere. The neighbourhood was great high end. Amazing views of the ocean and very very quite streets. Great architecture, well maintaned community.

Awesome place, great value for money and highly recommended.

10.0

The host was always available and willing to assist. The room was large and spacious, I liked the patio though it was cold that night. The place is in a quiet neighbourhood.

The particular room doesn't have the view but it is nice and quiet when everyone is home. The room is too close to parking and everybody wakes up when other guests arrive or leave.
