43 guests' feedbackBeautiful, neat accommodation.
We have stayed at the accommodation a few times now and each time the extraordinary high standards of the accommodation are identical. The hosts are fabulous and the accommodation will remain our accommodation of choice on the North Coast.
Nice and quiet location which is what we prefer. Close enough to shops etc.
The beautiful little cottage was clean, neat and well-equipped with everything you could possibly need. The hosts are amazing, so helpful, friendly and kind. Went out of their way to accommodate me. Awesome shower pressure and the cottage was well prepared for loadshedding. Would definitely stay there again and highly recommend it!
This was honestly the safest, cleanest and cosiest place away from home. We felt safe with our 14-month-old daughter and had all the amenities available for self-service (and we were spoiled by the owners with coffee, sugar and other condiments). The entire experience was lovely, in a gorgeous area. We enjoyed our guesthouse almost more than some of the various beaches that were actually very dirty (compared to the Garden Route). At least Umdloti and Ballito were cleaner than other Durban beaches. But besides that, the outdoor activities were splendid and there was even a forest hike that the guest house owners advised us on. Such lovely advice, since we were clueless on what to do some days (first East Coast holiday in easily 20 years!). It was an absolute pleasure staying with Spindrift Guest House, we will be doing it again! Thank you, dear Judy!
200 meters to the see and shops.
The only disadvantage was that there is no food delivery service in that area and no cell reception at all. The stay was fantastic, serviced rooms daily and very friendly hosts.
Nice place. Could work very well for a weekend getaway.
Would stay there again anytime. Definitely value for money.
Lovely self-catering unit with everything needed and more. The unit is very neat and stylish. I forgot my phone charger there and Judy notified me the same day and I was able to call a courier to pick it up.
Everything is there that is needed. Friendly owners. Well stairs to upper area, just be a bit careful, otherwise everything 100%. Will stay there again.
Pat and Judy are wonderful hosts. The guesthouse accommodation was of the best that I have experienced. I travel a lot using different websites. The self-catering apartment was fully equipped with good quality items. Spindrift is excellent by any standard. I would recommend it to my most fussy friends and family.
Very nice place. Enjoyed the quietness and peaceful surroundings.
Great accommodation. Beautiful hostess and host. We will definitely be staying at Spindrift again.
Will definitely book with them again. Friendly reception. Comfortable, cozy apartment with sea view.
The owners are very friendly! The garden is beautiful and has many birds that start singing from early in the morning. Very close to the beach and restaurants. Will definitely go there again.
This lovely accommodation was complemented with our kind and gracious hosts, Judy and Pat. We thoroughly enjoyed our short holiday.
We thoroughly enjoyed the surrounds, bird songs and ocean view.
It was a beautiful location - very private and quiet.
It's a pity at the moment that there is a sewer problem in Mdloti at the moment, but other than that, it was great.
But we were expecting to be alone not with landlord.
The owner was very friendly. Unit was clean. Saw amazing birdlife. Felt like I was in a forest. It was amazing!
We stayed in the Kingfisher unit. Lovely stoep and braai facilities. Nice to sit and watch the finches that nest right in front of you. Lots of monkeys too, but we never caught them in the house. I guess one should just close the windows when one leaves the place for the day. Well-equipped kitchen with a window by the sink that can slide open and provides a nice breeze and nice view while washing dishes. We didn't need to buy any cleaning products on cloths/dishcloths and had everything needed to make nice breakfast and dinner. Nice, big windows on both sides of the kitchen that make for a nice, free holiday feeling! Television with DStv and comfortable couches as well as WiFi. There is a beam with an alarm for the patio door, but we felt very safe. We stayed there for 4 nights and wish we could have stayed longer. This is the perfect holiday home at an unbeatable price. The place was very clean and tidy and they came to clean every day and changed the bathroom mats, swept the whole place, emptied the ash bins, made the beds that hadn't been made yet and washed the dishes. I was surprised at this type of service at a self-catering unit. What makes this place ideal is its location. It is a few meters from the beach. We frolicked in the sea all day. Umdloti can get very busy at weekends and peak times and people sometimes struggle to find parking, but if you stay at Spindrift this is not a problem. There may be places that are closer to the beach, but you will either have to pay a lot more or get less value for your money because the other places that fall more or less in the same price range are smaller than Spindrift. I highly recommend this place to stay. I will stay there every time!
We stayed in the Kingfisher Family Unit. It is beautifully furnished and comfortable with everything you could possibly need for a family holiday. Very clean and homey. Spend time outside on the porch, barbeque and look out for dolphins in the sea and birds in the trees. We love walking and walked the 200 m down to the beach and long walks by the sea, and would like to go for a walk in the forest next time. The local Spar and Farm-to-Fork at the Total Garage have a good variety of food. Judy and Pat are wonderful hosts.
Spindrift is probably our favorite vacation spot ever! This experience in Kingfisher was heavenly! This was our third time at the guest house, but previous times we were in the lower unit, Lourie. We felt like we were on a tropical island with that superb view of the ocean! We hope to be able to return here many more in the future! It's definitely our idea of an idyllic break and break from the city!
The unit is comfortable and tidy, Judy and her husband's hospitality is great. The view over the sea with a cup of coffee on the veranda is the best.
Perfect stay! Comfortable, neat and value for money. Will go back again and again.
The guest house is great, amazing service. An air conditioner would make the unit even better. Great.
We felt welcomed and the stay very comfortable. Judy is an amazing host and made us feel welcome.
Lovely stay. Judith and her husband are friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Lovely accommodation and spotlessly clean. Spectacular view. Will definitely go back.
Clean, away from the noise and safe destination.
Nice sea view and friendly welcome. Children really enjoyed it.
Peaceful getaway for the family. Beautiful cottage and surroundings. Clean, well-equipped, private and close to the beach. Wonderful birdlife to be seen. Judy is still the kind and attentive hostess as always. Hope to be back soon.
Judy is a fantastic hostess who cares about her guests. She makes sure every place to stay has everything you need. It's fantastic, clean and tidy and is a home away from home. We've used Spindrift a few times and it's great every time! Thank you very much Judy.
Thank you for a warm welcome and a comfortable stay. The guesthouse is situated close to the beach with reasonable safety precautions and all necessary comforts and amenities. The unit was neat as a pin, well maintained and tastefully furnished.
Thank you to June for her wonderful hospitality. You are the greatest. See you soon.
My family and I loved everything and our hosts were so good to us, I believe angels. Sang in delighted when they were born because they are so loving. Their home is filled with love and lots of love. I felt love and welcomed. God bless their precious hearts.
See stars.
Lovely self-catering cottage, down to earth and comfortable. 5 minute stroll and you are on the beach.
Very beautiful nature and environment
Very close to beach. Restaurants pathetic and very expensive. Security at apartment poor, very basic key, no security gates. Very nice visit and value for money.
Friendly, quiet and just what you need for your family when you go on holiday. Thank you.
Good place to stay as I worked nearby. Quiet road and pleasant stay.
