I will not be able to remember each detail but we haven't had 5 star treatment like this in a while, the minute we parked 2 ladies came out and offered to help with our luggage, mind you it was super cold and at night. They were so hospitable!!! Our room was clean, TV was working, there were Toiletries and lots of clean white towels! The views from our room...spectacular, beautiful sunrise and sound of the waves. The food!!! Flavorsome and delectable!! I loved the consistency of a buffet even when I was the only guest eating on Sunday morning, most guests left early for comrades but Amanda still prepared buffet for me. The ladies were friendly and professional with all guests.The neighborhood is soo serene, short drive to Oceans mall and the beach. We have definitely found a home away from home, will be back soon.

There is honestly nothing I didn't like, just a few suggestions 1. Perhaps invest in a good coffee machine, a Cappuccino would be nice☕️. 2. Next to the mirror, mount a towel rail which guests can use to hang their bath towels and lastly please provide the disposable shower caps.

I don't know why i never knew of this plqce before but now that I have discovered it, I dont think i would be going anywhere else. Loved how spacious the room was, the privacy you get while you are there can't even be compared to a hotel. I did not feel couped up like i normally do in places. I am not a breakfast person but gave it a go lnce and I can say- the way they make their mushrooms, OUT OF THIS WORLD!. Staff is very friendly and place is really quiet and peaceful.

I wished i could book gor the whole of my 5 day holiday but unfortunately found it late. Could only get 3 days.

I had a great stay, the view and staff were more than helpful. Breakfast was delicious. I was disappointed not to have had any tissues, or shower caps provided for a 4 Star establishment. My TV was erratic. I used Uber to travel to Umhlanga and it was very reasonably priced. Overall a very good stay and excellent hospitality. Judy Hofer Johanneburg

Better WIFI connection. There were no shops around and if you don't have a car, bear this in mind. The walk to the beach is very steep as it is a hilly area. So, these are just things to bear in mind and were easily solved.

The service was excellent, and the staff were warm, attentive, and very helpful. Check-in and check out were super quick and easy. We booked 3 rooms and we traveled with our puppy so we had the pet friendly room. Rooms 3 and 5 were light, airy, spotless, and very well kept. Room 6 was the pet friendly room, and we loved that there was a whole garden just for our puppy. Staff were also very kind to our puppy, and unlike other pet-friendly places, they did not make us feel like they were doing us a favor for allowing us to bring our pet with us. Breakfast was quite a delicious spread and was made to our specific dietary requirements. A random thing we loved was the house brand soap. It was unexpectedly the most lovely smelling 'hotel' soap we've ever used (it's definitely one of the little things that will keep guests coming back).

Room 6 was not as well kept as the other rooms, and per our billing, it was the most expensive room out of the three we booked. There was a bit of drain smell. Additionally, the cupboards, kitchen, bathroom need a revamp and perhaps a bit more lighting to brighten up the space is needed just to bring it up to the polished and modern look that the other rooms have.

I don't normally do reviews, but this B&B needs one.. I travel frequently for my business and stay at a lot of B&B's. Burnham is definitely in my top 3. The staff was extremely helpful, friendly and professional all the time, always willing to go the extra mile for the guests. The views were spectacular, and the breakfast was great. Good value for money. Thank you, Burnham house, see you soon.

I really tried hard to think of something. Everything was great.

Beautiful location, very kind and attentive staff, incredibly clean, romantic set-up with a bath suitable for couples, fully stocked with toiletries, lovely balcony, close to the beach, and the staff went out of their way to make a lovely breakfast breakfast especially considering my dietary requirements.

We couldn’t find a single thing to fault about Burnham House. It was wonderful and we’d love to return some day.

What was there not to love? From the stunning seaviews, to the impeccably clean luxury room, we truly had one of the best vacation stays we've ever had. The private enclosed balcony was truly special-it allowed us to still see and enjoy the oceanview regardless of the weather. The staff was also exceptional, always friendly and willing to assist and the breakfast was lovely. A special thanks to the host for allowing our 7yr old an extra bed.

Gorgeous views of the ocean from the room❤️ Very clean, calm place with amazing staff, great breakfast. Enjoyed views of whales tales in the ocean while catching sun rays by the pool. Also, ne and my husband were traveling for our honeymoon, Thank you very much for the welcome champagne🙏❤️

staff cleaning the room next door in early mornings (7:30am) , it would wake us up, but maybe because we are sensitive sleepers:) also one night we had a cockroach in the bathroom , however the staff made sure that the building is sprayed from the bugs weekly and it must have just flew in, rather than that-super clean and tidy place❤️

The Breakfast was great and we were provided with a take away breakfast as we departed early We loved the room and the reception from staff as we arrived late Assistance and understanding from the staff as my wife was ill for the duration of our stay was very good.

Phone to communicate with staff could have been useful, although we were able to contact staff when needed.
