Our stay this weekend was absolutely perfect! The place was even better than the pictures spacious, beautifully designed, and incredibly peaceful. There was so much privacy, and the layout made it ideal for a family getaway. The kids had the best time playing in the garden and swimming in the pool while we relaxed and soaked up the tranquility. Everything was spotless, well-equipped, and thoughtfully set up. It truly felt like a home away from home. We didn’t want to leave! Highly recommend this gem. we’ll definitely be back!

Absolutely loved our stay! The home was cosy, beautifully decorated, and truly felt like a home away from home. Everything was exactly as expected and even better. From the thoughtful touches to the comfortable spaces, it made our trip that much more special. My family and I built such wonderful memories here, and it’s now our go-to spot whenever we’re in Durban. Highly recommend!

Had an ok stay , the house was very spacious and beautiful , problem I had was with the house keeper Beatrice who wanted to clean the bedrooms at 07:30 am in the mornings and remained underfoot almost all day till late at night , when she chose she spoke English fluently but when it suited her she pretended to not understand us at all . She would walk into our bedrooms without knocking at all times during the day , when you walk out the bathroom she’s just there , when you changing she doesn’t knock on the closed bedroom door , was really upsetting. Then when we left she waited for a tip which we didn’t give as we weren’t t happy with her conduct . Then after returning home about a day ago I received an email from the host stating we had 5 undeclared guests at the house which I believe is just the housekeeper Beatrice being spiteful as she didn’t get her tip . Quite upset about the email
