The place was neat, quiet and clean. The guy I think, Godfrey was super welcoming.

It was very disappointing that there was no back up electricity plan in place during load shedding. I lost out on 2hrs of studying as I was there to prepare for my exam which was the following day. The candle light was very romantic and all but unsafe. The owner should please consider 1of the following back up plan 1. A generator 2. Inventor and solar panels 3. rechargable lights Thank you 😊

The breakfast was good. I enjoyed starting the day with a good meal. The room was nice as well. The linen was fresh and no bad smells on bed.

If l may say, the bathroom was not up to standard. Could do with some Peroxide on the tiles. I didn't like the fact that you could see through the blinds even when closed. I felt uncomfortable. Showered with lights off. The wall in toilet area needs to be wiped down. If you look down, it looked like either someone has urinated on the wall or sprayed something on the wall. Need someone to oversee the running of B&B. There needs to be a rail on stairs and a rail going to parking area. The pool wasn't kept clean and couldn't swim.

The place was tremendously beautiful. it was very quite and good for the peace of mind. Godfrey was such a gentleman and made sure that our stay was pleasant at all times. He and the other lady(I didn’t get her name) were very generous to a point that they helped me do something romantic for my girlfriend by decorating a room, whom it was her birthday celebration. The breakfast was delicious and the rooms were clean. The WiFi was very good. I wish we could stay a little longer. We’ll definitely come back.

I wish rooms can have wardrobes, microwaves and bar fridges. Also, it would be lovely if different menus in breakfast could be served especially for those who stay for longer. The swimming pool wasn’t clean. However, everything was absolutely beautiful😊

Beautiful spacious room, with a ceiling fan, ample storage, a work area, a big bath tub with toiletries, the shower had fantastic water pressure. Coffee and tea were available in the room... There was a pool in the garden and the breakfast was great. The property was stunning and the staff super friendly.

There was no mini fridge so if I were to stay long term I would be limited to eating out for my lunch and dinner. The chair in the workspace wasn't particularly comfortable either. But these are small things. I loved staying here and will be back.

Friendly staff and very clean. Great breakfast and lovely pool with BBQ facilities. Very helpful staff.

Communal lounge can be quite noisy and could benefit from acoustic rated doors to bedrooms.

The settings, the pool, breakfast. They provided enough help on arrival. I would stay there again if I were to return to Durban. I absolutely love the shower

The bed was too low. A low car like mine is at a disadvantage as when you leave the gate the hill is too high.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms are a good size, clean and safe. Breakfast was limited but good quality and great value for money. Overall happy with our stay, perfect if you're looking for a safe, clean bed.

The house is a very strange set up which makes getting bags in and out a bit of a struggle. It gets very hot in the main areas of the house although each room has a fan and AC so inside your room this isn't a problem.

Nice rooms

Slept for about 3 hours as other guests were having a huge party and slamming doors till all hours of the morning. They only serve breakfast till 8 am in the morning which is very early. I asked the house manager if we could have breakfast later due to not being able to sleep as he did not control the other guests after complaints. I then got calls and msgs to book out before 10am however the book out time is 10.30am on the site. Really disappointed feel like I’ve waisted my money.

Godfrey was very helpful and friendly, always available and willing to assist to make the stay as comfortable as possible. The breakfast was excellent and a great way to start the day. Conveniently located and well priced - I will definitely be back!

We were without water for one day which was no fault of the property but an area issue as a result of the heavy rains and damage to the infrastructure. Could not have asked for anything more from the property.
