"A very basic hotel. It’s clean, but the rooms have the barest of comforts. I stayed in a two story building with doors at either end and you hear every exit and entry as if it’s in your room. Not pleasant at all. Also don’t understand why there are no trees. "

"Overall very good. Mostly kitchenette type rooms. Not totally practical for space. Had a huge bathroom that was very clean and appeared almost new. Not well prepared for my kid. Through a mattress on the floor. It worked but was not ideal. No couches or actual beds to add. Make sure you get a double bedroom. Breakfast was very good and lots of good options. Would stay there again but be careful of getting a luxury room and thinking you'll have a couch or extra bed to be brought in for your kid....

"This is a hotel of remarkable quality and spotlessly clean, and central to everything in Richards Bay. The quality is exceptional- I travel for business in the USA and UK all the time, and this hotel was so special. Perfect because it has everything. What makes it so unique is the manager Rieth, who has created an artistic ambience/style here, which puts 5-star hotels to shame, and she gives you personal help and service that makes you feel so welcome, with lots of advice about the local...

"Hi, The place is beautiful and the cabins are amazing, but not for the elderly or anyone with mobility challenges. Our cabin had many stairs. To get to the swimming pool - many stairs. To get to the private beach - for me was impossible. They said it was 50m from the parking area. That was the longest 50m I have ever walked (+- 500m) Although the walk on the wooden boardwalk was pleasant, an insurmountable sand dune without stepping stones, walkway or even rope to pull on to help with the...
