Helen is amazing! She upgraded us without us even asking. She made sure to inform is of everything we needed to know and made us aware she's available if there are any issues. Excellent host! The place was incredible. So beautiful and lovely plants around and birds. We really enjoyed our stay. Being able to leave the property and return freely. The place was so clean and well maintained. Will definitely be going back 😁
That we couldn't stay longer 😞

Our stay at Crooked Tree was much appreciated. Helen was friendly, accommodating, and informative. The room was light, and well-appointed. The bed was really comfortable. The bathroom was clean and roomy with a nice hot shower. The location is a short walk to the restaurants, shopping, cafes and beach. I don't usually stay in B&Bs or guesthouses because I value my privacy. At Crooked Tree, I was completely comfortable. I highly recommend staying here. If I return to Durban, I will stay here again.
There was nothing I did not like.

I was upgraded to a really nice room, overlooking the ocean. Hellen and her husband are absolutely charming and such wonderful hosts. Such a great place to relax, watch tv, and be comfy!
Everything was wonderful. Unfortunately you can't cook there even though there is a stove and stuff, so it wouldn't be ideal for my longer stays. You'll need to order in or eat out which was a little difficult for me in the weather we had at the time.

Exceptional. Tranquil, lovely location, the hosts were so helpful. The breakfast was amazing, brought to your room. My room was very big, self catering but breakfast was included. There was a nice balcony to sit on and the view was lovely, overlooking Umhlanga Rocks. I can highly recommend staying here. I will definitely return on my next visit.
I have no negative comments. Enough parking space and close to Umhlanga Rocks and La Lucia.

Host is friendly and accommodating. Prime location - close to malls, garage and restaurants. Impressive sea view from the cottage. Good value for money given the area, view and amenities. Fully equipped cottage for a comfortable stay. Apartment was clean and tidy.
Wooden flooring - noises and voices travel easily. That didn't affect me too much as the neighbours were not too noisey.
