First and foremost, the staff were truly exceptional! From reception to the housekeeping team, every individual was incredibly warm, accommodating, and a delight to interact with. I regret not being able to tip them, as I didn’t have cash on hand—they certainly deserved it. The guesthouse itself was nothing short of remarkable. Its welcoming and homely ambiance immediately made me feel at ease. The cleanliness was impeccable, the garden beautifully maintained, and the breakfast an absolute treat. Although I’m not one to take many photos while immersed in the moment, I must say the pictures simply do not capture the full charm and beauty of the guesthouse. It’s a serene and picturesque retreat that far exceeds expectations.

    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. 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.

    Beautiful beach potential, caring local community. Good roads, LOTS of speed control. Unfortunately the victim of neglectful municipality, safety concerns and limited paying traffic causing a decay of local businesses and infrastructure.

    Firstly, the owner of the property was so warm and welcoming to my family and I. The place was cozy and definitely felt like a home away from home. Everything was neat and tidy. We had all the amenities we needed on site. The place had such a beautiful outdoor area. We will definitely go back whenever we are in Richards Bay. Highly recommended! Real value for money.
