Our best stay in South Africa by far. We stayed for 6 days. So sad to leave. Sandy looked after us and nothing was too much trouble. Our spacious room opened onto a terrace overlooking a beautiful pool and garden area. A great breakfast. Staff were excellent always smiling, in a great leafy quiet residential area and only a 5 minute walk to many shops and restaurants. We will be back when we return to South Africa

Unexpectedly quiet and relaxed in the middle of town. Friendly staff, clean. Best free PR: Peter, the owner, acting as a breakfast ceremony master. Clear recommendation!

Nice quiet beautiful little guesthouse, perfect for single or couples. A small swimming pool with sun in the afternoon and sunbeds. Very safe area to walk around to restaurants and the beach promenad. The host couple are great!

Gem of a place, right in the heart of Umhlanga. Easily walkable to restaurants etc, and very safe, even at night. Super comfortable rooms, and lovely owners. Highly recommended!
