Reviews
We loved the "apartment", was very clean and neat, walk distance to beach and Nature reserve (what is a must to do, small but very nice experience). Overall the apartment complex is a bit old, so was a very nice surprise to find this little hidden gem that was tastefully decorated and finished with modern clean interior. Everything is in the apartment that you would need. A coffee grinder and filter machine!!! and Aircon + ceiling fan in each room. Nice salt chlorinated communal pool (for the ones allergic to chlorine), We recommend this for any family of 4. No private barbecue/braai area but we did not miss that.
Apartment was spotless and exquisite. The host, Hermann, was pleasant and obliging.
The place generally was comfortable and homely.
Believe me when I say the photos don't lie. The apartment is beautiful, homely and breathtaking.
Modern, clean and well located. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
My man and I LOVED this location. We loved walking to the stores, gym and restaurants! It has the most beautiful view and is a quiet and peaceful complex Just opposite Umhlanga Sands and Cabana Beach Resort. We never used our car ONCE. The rooms were so spacious and full of light, the kitchen was perfect for self catering and we had two bathrooms so we could each have our own ! Loved this! Would definitely book again!!!
Super convenient and secure. Very comfortable.
Clean, friendly host and location was good! The bed in the main bedroom was very comfortable.
