"Spacious rooms, wonderful location near the Umhlanga coast, shops and restaurants ( only 2 minutes away ). Wonderful people ( Peter, Cilla and Sandy ) who really make you feel at home. We stayed there for 9 nights and enjoyed every minute of it. Safe neighbourhood. The breakfast is "baije lekker" ( really tasty). It is really worth every cent/rand you spent. No effort was to much to help you in any way. Peter, Cilla and Sandy many thanks for a wonderful stay, we will come back again!!!! Rob Ormeling-Knutzen and Arnold Knutzen-Ormeling."
