6/10 Good

Very neutral property

It was average for me. I roulant go out of my way to stay there. The grounds are nice
Steven, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Wouldn't repeat the stay

The lodge is okay, but not exactly referring to pictures in the website. (Room is smaller, beach is closed - no access from the hotel). The room was cleaned every day, but it was smelly (like wet) and attacked my son's allergy, then we had to leave one day before (room 2). The staff was friendly, but could do nothing about the room.

Nice lodge

Nice place to stay over when in Richards Bay. Sea view from sundowner bar and peaceful location. The cabin had everything needed, especially an air conditioner but if you can not sleep with too much light in the room the outside light can be a problem. This is a very good thing for security but there should be the choice to darken the rooms with blackout curtains if you like a dark room at night.

Dumisane, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Wonderful place during the week

For most of our stay it felt like we had paradise to ourselves - sitting on the Sundowner deck at sunrise with a first cup of coffee; listening to the frogs and watching the birds in the pond next to the restaurant, enjoying the 'lagoon' pool all by ourselves, BUT the traffic to the Sundowner over the weekends and the thumping music that could be heard at our cottage detracted from the overall experience. AND WiFi was critical for both my guest and me, and it was highly unreliable and disappointing.
