Helpful staff all with a happy demeanour gave one a sense of well being and enjoyment. Smartly furnished very spacious room with 4 metre high beamed ceiling, fridge, television and powerful aircon. My room opened out to terrace with sun lounges and sparkling clean circular plunge pool. Five steps across quiet suburban road to the sand and surf. Huge comfy bed with good quality bed linen. Massive breakfast with filtered coffee meant you didn't need any lunch. Quiet location so you could hear the waves breaking onto the beach as you fell asleep. 10 minute drive or taxi ride up to dozens of restaurants at Umhlanga Rocks for dinner.

Location, a short walk to town and it's excellent restaurants, bars and coffee shops. A little further on walking for the great beach and promenade. Try Fish a great restaurant, and only two minutes walk. Also for great coffee and naughty bakes and treats, try Mary and Joe's..big wow to both.

I really liked how clean and well-maintained everything was — from the rooms to the shared areas. The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing, perfect for a getaway. The staff were warm and welcoming, and it felt more personal than a hotel. I also appreciated the little touches like fresh towels, fast Wi-Fi, and a cozy breakfast spot. Overall, it was comfortable, quiet, and felt like home.
