Friendly owners, both of them were too kind. This is in a gated guest house and you will get a remote to open the front gate.
Its about a 5 min drive from the beach and food is pretty close by as well.
Thank You Martinus and Naomi for such a warm welcome. You both was very accommodating to our late check-in. You have been amazing hosts. Such great ambience. My Finance and I will be definitely be visiting again.
Beautiful gated property close to great restaurants and comfortable beds with a yummy breakfast.

Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Poor experience!
The room experience was terrible - the carpet was wet and the room was smelly from what the owners indicated was a water tap that was left opened by the previous guest - but why not afford me the option to cancel my reservation, then!
It was great staying there.Close to lots of places if you looking for a place just to sleep and do activities this is the right place.Convenient quite downside lots of monkey
The guesthouse is well kept, centrally located in Umhlanga. We had a pleasant stay. Staff very friendly, Martinus is very welcoming. Breakfast was delicious. Highly recommend, great value for money
