The moment we entered the attentiveness and friendliness of the staff impressed us. The rooms and bathrooms were beautiful and the view was amazing. Enjoyed the buffet so it was an all round pleasant experience.

It was very busy during boxing day but nice to see pelican island and to visit the yachting club. Good restaurants included Gecko Inn. The beach was a bit full due to holiday season i would recommend visiting out of season

The place is still the best to visit, with its happy people...

The place is still the best to visit, with its happy people. The place has changed a lot with public areas neglected. Areas that were previously accessible are now restricted, eg. One cannot drive through to get closer to the bay area. I used to enjoy parking in between those trees. The ocean was not clean and had evidence of burnt residues. The sand bags at the beach needs to be rearranged and renewed. Hoping it will be improved soon as December vacation is coming.

It's ok though the mall closes too early even on holidays.

It's ok though the mall closes too early even on holidays. Richards Bay is clean but when you at the open parking's of the Boardway by Bluff meat entrance, it's super untidy it's like you have moved to a different place all together. It's a little bit scarry to park and leave your car there.

My favorite place was being at the bon hotel and Zula.

My favorite place was being at the bon hotel and Zula. I loved the hotel food and neighborhood shisanyama. Not to forget the ice-cream nearby the hotel it was very nice. My family and I enjoyed the boat cruise and being, and we also drove to St Lucia for trip to hluhluwe to see the big five. It is not very far though it's 1 hour drive from Richard's Bay.

Not much to complain about.

Not much to complain about. The town is just as beautiful, especially the trees surrounding the whole town, it makes it very beautiful. The beaches are just beautiful for those of us from inland. Unfortunately, the Airport remains the same, just pathetic.

Friendly staff and a very neat environment. If one would love to visit a peaceful place, I would highly recommend Indaba Hotel. It was my first time visiting Richards Bay, I wasn’t aware the area doesn’t offer Uber/ Bolt so it is recommended that you have your own transportation to visit the attractions so-rounding the area e.g Beaches🏖️ .

Host Jacqui is a lovely host. We (2) thoroughly enjoyed our brief visit 3-nights in the secure, peaceful self catering cottage gem - it was comfortable, neat, fabulously equipped - lovely views from the porch that has a convenient built-in bar-b-q.
