Breakfast was excellent and filling. However don't think childrens yoghurt should be used 🙂 Beds are very comfortable.

Absolutely beautiful historical Guest House! Lovely sitting on the veranda with beautiful sea views. Garden well maintained! The staff were excellent! Charles the Night Manager went out of his way to make our stay special. Really can’t thank him enough for going the extra mile!

Exceptional panoramic ocean views from the house. Loved the history, mostly in its original state, very impressive. Gardens are well maintained, and tranquil. Good breakfast, it's a set menu. Charles, Nancy and Sheri were incredible hosts! We enjoyed a short stroll through the Umdoni Park Forest, got to see some buck. Dinner at the Club House was really good although only served some nights. Overall, our experience was peaceful, we felt rested. If you have extra time, you can explore the surrounding areas...

We had almost the whole place for ourselves as there were not that many other visitors. So it felt very private. We changed between 2 rooms and liked the superior room very much as it has a fantastic ocean view, straight from your bed :) Very friendly and helpful staff. Fantastic healthy breakfast. Nice pool. We were very happy there!

Great location, friendly and helpful staff, lovely breakfast and peaceful nights. Stunning views from garden and pool. Very near golf course with a lovely restaurant.

The character and history of the house kept safe. The pool and beautiful ocean views. Breakfast was great. Really enjoyed our time there

The breakfast is a highlight of the day! Always friendly staff which became almost like family :-) Thank you so much for always making our stay exceptional!

We upgraded to the deluxe room which is sea facing. This place is way better than the photos. Nancy and Charles were considerate and very helpful

staff was so friendly, loved the two night we spent there, they truly went out of their way to make us feel welcome !!!

The staff are amazing! Special mention to Charles who was always willing to help with anything and always with a smile! Then also special mention to Princess and Bongisile (hope I got her name right). The breakfast is super delicious too. The historical house is gorgeous. I would definitely stay again if ever in the area again.

Hi there. The room description says "Standard Double or Twin Room with Garden View", but then underneath there is no option to choose a room with 2 twin beds. How can I make sure if I book the room that I get two twin beds? Thank you!Hi! Once you have booked you can send a message requesting two twin beds :) then we will arrange the rest!Answered on August 11, 2021
