I enjoyed my stay very much. Pet friendly. The airport shuttle was very convenient. The accommodation was huge, with a spacious bedroom and massive lounge area. Fridge, TV, microwave and kettle were provided. Highly recommended.
It was super. Beyond my expectation.
Leendert and his family was very accommodating with any and all requests. Can happily recommend them if you're looking for a stopover or short stay in Pietermaritzburg.
I enjoyed the hospitality. The owner welcomed my mother, daughter and me very warmly. The upstairs room was very spacious with a well-stocked fridge, a living room area to enjoy. It had a lovely aerial view, very comfortable beds and easy entrance and exit. Overall, a lovely stay.
The booking was for a friend who is going to do his honors in Theology at UKZN. He had a very warm and friendly welcome and the owner went out of his way to help him. He enjoyed his stay and said it was good value for money.
The place looked like no one had attended to it. Right when you enter, you are hit by a smell of mold and wet carpet. There is a thin pathway in which to walk because there was a lot of clutter everywhere. It did not look anything like what we saw on the booking because we had seen it to have multiple rooms, only to find a single bedroom with 1 double bed and 2 single beds in the same room. The beds and bed sheets looked unkempt. Basically, the whole place didn't look healthy to stay in.
Host was very helpful and accommodating. It was my first loft experience with which I felt very comfortable.
He mentioned that he could get a better place than what he paid for. His second accommodation was around the same rate and the service in all categories was pleasing.
Not worth the money charged, the towels provided were all torn, and surface areas were very dirty, toothbrush glass in the bathroom looked like haven't been cleaned for months inside and mould in the fridge.
Friendly and very welcoming family. A safe place.
Pleasant and peaceful and friendly, African people.
Shower head too low for even a person of average height. Hot / cold indicator on basin tap wrong way round resulting in unnecessary wait for hot water and resultant water wastage. Redeeming factor was being close to where I was doing business. Will not choose again. I am sure there is better, but you get what you pay for! It appears a lot of B&Bs were full at the time.
Would definitely not recommend the place to stay. No cleaning service! No decent parking - dogs jump up on your vehicle and leave scratch marks. Garden is overgrown. Breakfast porridge is stone cold and no milk provided.
Friendly service, spacious room! A comfortable overnight stay.
