64 guests' feedbackWe as a family enjoyed our stay. Well located.
Very neat & tidy. The host was always there to help & give advice on places to visit & restaurants. The breakfast is great. The swimming pool was a great way to cool off & the bird life in the garden is a bonus. The honesty bar is a great idea. Secure parking. The rooms are very neat & tidy. The staff are all very friendly. Definitely recommend them for a great stay.
The five star should upgrade to a 6 star. Top class.
Awesome place, good service, friendly staff.
It is a lovely place to stay. It's neat and the staff is friendly.
The guest house is very comfortable, although they mention that breakfast starts at 7 in the morning, the staff doesn't start working until 7. So the breakfast is really only served from 7h30. Unfortunately, it is too late if you have appointments. The breakfast was indeed tasty. The telephone number given for after-hours work is unfortunately not mentioned and the instructions for handing in keys are not mentioned.
I cannot fault our stay - it far exceeded our expectations. We would definitely stay at Forest Manor again in the near future.
I enjoyed the stay very much.
Ernest, our host, made us so welcome. Our stay was great, the rooms, bathrooms neat and clean. The environment is calm, quiet and safe. Breakfast was professional, fresh ingredients and tasty. We would definitely recommend Forest Manor Guesthouse. Thank you so much Ernest for the chat and your hospitality.
Upon arrival we were greeted in a friendly and professional manner. Spacious room bathroom and the aircon was luxurious and nice. Swimming pool is clean and tidy as is the rest of the guest house. The breakfast was included and really nice with a menu of a few options from french toast with cheese and bacon to omelettes etc.
Our stay was unfortunately only for one night. The bed was very comfortable, the room was large and clean.
Centrally located for business, value for money, good service.
Our room was changed on our arrival, so it was a bit unexpected. The blinds in the room did not work properly. There were previous guests' things in the small fridge. One of the breakfast staff members serves the guests while wearing slippers. And didn't even have a uniform on. It should not be like this at all for a 5-star facility. Guesthouse is very nice, but there is no 'attention to detail', which is disappointing for a 5-star. In the breakfast area there is a certificate of their rating and it has 31 Dec. 2020 already expired. So it made one wonder if they were still rated 5 star or not?
Great accommodation in a great location.
Resident manager was always available and very good general knowledge. Staff were efficient and friendly. The guest house's interior decoration is excellent, wanted to take some of the items home. Very neat and clean. Breakfast was excellent - tried several of the options!
The rooms were neat and clean. There are a variety of breakfast options to choose from. I tried the full English breakfast and it was delicious.
Great service, spacious and well thought out room.
Ideal location. We were received very kindly by Loraine and she made us feel really welcome.
Very clean, high quality and for sure very welcoming!
Truly recommend a visit to them!
The staff were welcoming, readily available to answer questions and the overall stay was very comfortable. The attention to detail was evident.
Lovely rooms, very friendly and attentive staff. A few 5 star grading requirements are missing. Biggest concern and disappointment was the total lack of Covid Safety protocol requirements. No attention is paid to this at all. It is a pity that the guests safety is not their number one concern. Apart from that, it is a lovely place, with lovely staff.
Enjoyed a lot. Absolutely recommend trying out.
Friendly service. Very nice rooms. Modern and clean. Lovely swimming pool. Nice breakfast.
Will definitely use Forest Manor Boutique Guest House again. We had trouble finding accommodation because it was during the school holidays. Forest Manor assisted us and helped us with accommodation. Your place is beautiful and very comfortable.
Stay was very neat and quickly felt at home. Alfred the host was fantastic and very helpful. Every morning and evening I was greeted and welcomed back. Breakfast was delicious, fresh and rooms were cleaned twice a day. Had more than enough space, neat and modern facilities. Beach is walking distance from the guest house and within 1 km is La Lucia Mall for shopping etc. I will definitely be back.
Best ever. I've been there 3 times, will definitely go again.
Very happy with service.
Very pleasant stay and nice staff.
Beautiful guest house with friendly staff. Just a pity there's no ocean view.
Very neat and the staff is friendly and helpful.
Many thanks to Forest Manor Boutique Guest House staff for a wonderful weekend getaway. Everything was perfect.
We were fortunate to be bumped up to Executive Suite. Very spacious and private. Breakfast was delicious. My husband will use Forest Manor for business stays too. Very easy to find and close enough to Durban.
Room and facilities were exceptional - just a pity no sea view.
The hostess made us feel at home when we arrived that evening. The room is very convenient and tidy. We also felt very safe. The breakfast was delicious and we were ready for our day trip. We will come again.
The establishment is very conveniently located close to Umhlanga, rooms are clean and well presented, staff are very pleasant. Breakfast is served from 7 am, however, was not set up and ready by 7 am.
Clean, very neat, value for money experience. Would definitely go back there.
Had such a great stay. Very friendly staff.
It had truly been a breathtaking experience. The breakfast was fantastic and tasty. The access to your room and parking were as desired. There is even an honesty bar which is very useful if you get very thirsty. It was truly a privilege to stay there.
Dis 'n great en amazing plek en die ligging is reg en goed en altyd lekker om daar te wees.
The place was clean and the staff was friendly and helpful.
Very neat place with unbelievable service. Close to everything. Delicious breakfast. Really a hpme away from home.
Hospitality and professionalism is at the order of the day from the moment you arrive at Forest Manor Boutique Guesthouse to the moment you hand back the keys.
Very neat place and good value for money. The only reason security didn't get full marks was the electric gate they were repairing.
Beautiful place. Just expect that if you sleep more than one night, the room will be replenished with coffee, tea, milk.
Lovely place, will recommend for someone.
It was really very nice, clean and warm. A stunning place to stay at.
See stars.
Nice stay and was well taken care of.
Great value for money, the rooms were clean. Customer service was on point. I will definitely stay there on my next visit to Durban.
The short time we spent there was nice and relaxing. I do, however, think that the service at reception can improve, especially if you're arriving after a long journey. But the room was comfortable and very beautiful. Compliments to the decor in the house and the rooms that all made me feel at home.
We really enjoyed the weekend. The guesthouse has everything you need and the breakfast was delicious.
We were 2 people on a business trip and each had his own room. It was the best stay I have ever had! Everything was great and perfect. Neat, relaxing, decor and comfort were fantastic!
A map or GPS coordinates would assist other travellers.
We usually stay in hotels or shared title units. The stay was pleasant - furniture in our room (honeymoon suite) was tired and should be replaced. The house and facilities are very neat and clean. Very nice breakfast and staff are very friendly - especially Portia, the manager. Sorry the house does not have a sea view.
Outstanding! Location very good. Amenities were very neat.
Would definitely recommend and use again.
Thank you very much, it was awesome to stay there, so much more than a 5 star hotel, I would love to stay there again!
Fantastic! Very well located. The rooms are luxurious and neat. Would recommend to anyone.
Definitely a must stay at while in Durban! Excellent rooms and staff did all they could to help. Will certainly be back on our next trip to S.A.
We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed every minute of our holiday. It was so nice to be surrounded by beautiful things and friendly people that went out of their way to make you feel welcome and at home. The rooms were comfortable and breakfast was nice enough to pick up few kilograms. We also used the pool every day and enjoyed it after a hot day at the beach. The concept of an honesty bar made it easy to get some cold refreshments when you want it. I will definitely use it again if we travel in that direction. Keep up the good work.
10 nights of pure pleasure! Great staff and awesome accommodation! Thanks.
I don't like staying in a B&B at all because you feel uncomfortable staying in someone's house with strangers, but they treated us so well. I want to praise them for their hospitality. All the staff that work there are fantastic.
