43 Sea Lodge - by Stay in Umhlanga

Perfect location. Very comfortable. Perfect Home away from home. Highly recommend to those who love the sea view. Despite the rain and not being able to walk to the beach, the family time was awesome. Gladly watch the view.

On the 2nd day, the geyser water got cold before all could have a shower. However that did not damper our stay

Location, cleanliness, prompt response by the office, friendly security on arrival, friendly janitor, kitchen cupboards well equipped.

The location is perfect, unit is awesome and has absolutely everything for a perfect stay.

Check out is at 10 but the cleaners came just after 9 and wanted to start stripping beds etc whilst we were still checking nothing was left behind. Also no gas in the braai but not a big issue

The general environment, next to the mall snd the beaches ⛱️

Nothing

Property is absolutely gorgeous. Wonderful views and close to everything. Highly Recommend

The location was great, but there was no breakfast because is self catering

There was no mat nearby the bed and also in both the bathrooms, also there are no instructions on how to operate their gas braai stand…most of us were not familiar with it

Great apartment and positioning with direct beach access.

Management and staff, Coakroaches, cold showers. 6 sleeper and water is cold after 2 to 3 showers. Gas cannister for braai was empty and we made all preparations for a braai. Management did not respond to my WhatsApp so we called and they responded over 30 minutes later. The cleaner also locked the small towels away and we requested more. They sent the gas cannister and only 2 towels with the maintenance guy who carried both items in his dirty hands. Towels not even in a packet. He then insisted there were 3 spare gas cannisters in the apartment and went ahead opening cupboards without our permission, and that we had already checked. Later we learnt Cleaner had locked the gas cannisters away as well in a cupboard they use for storage. Dead Coakroach found in fridge. Live coakroaches in crockery drawers and all over apartment. Response from management on WhatsApp was patronising blaming Durbans weather and building management for the coakroaches. Had only 1 towel change from a Monday to Monday booking. Booked an extra night due to unexpected business and they still would not change the towels until I insisted. Have WhatsApp communication.

Good location

ALL was good

Everything was easily accessible

It'll be nice if you can get a bigger couch

Location

i loved everything about the place!

There isn't one thing I didn't like about the apartment.

Beautiful and comfortable accommodation.

Uncomfortable pillows. It was lovely in the week but Friday and Saturday nights were very noisy till early hours of the morning.

The view was refreshing; a breath of fresh air.

Braai stand was not working; hot water did cater for 4 people while the place is supposed to accommodate 6 people.

It was very clean and had everything we needed. The location was great and the view was refreshing

I would suggest a bigger couch

Place was nice and clean

Very accommodating. I would recommend.

Cold showers

It’s well decorated and close to the Beach . Well maintained

We had a wonderful relaxing stay. We look forward to coming back.

Ventilation in the bathroom was a little less.

Great location - walking distance to the beach, mall, restaurants and other entertainment facilities. Management of the place was quite efficient. There are a variety of plates and kitchen utensils if you like cooking.

The location is good and accommodation is spacious.

The accommodation had cockroaches and we were told it would only be sorted out after we checked out. The units next to us and above us were doing construction. There was drilling and banging from 8am on 2 days. We had our 4 month old baby who could not sleep due to this. When we complained the property manager did assist with stopping the noise however it continued the next day and only stopped once we asked for assistance. We requested a late check out, which was granted. When the cleaning lady came she was very abrupt and told us we can't checkout later as she had people coming at 2. She then called the manager who came through and wanted to see proof of the confirmation. After we showed it to him he said that it should not have been granted and that he will check with the office to see why this happened. We advised him that its not our problem and we will check out as per our confirmation. He agreed but maintained that he will be investigating with the office. This left us rushing to leave to allow them to clean in time for the next person, which was very inconvenient as we had our baby to take care of and relied on the late checkout confirmation

The accomodation was absolutely perfect, and I will certainly book here again. The theme and decor was so vacation vibes,spacious, place was clean, and everything was available and in working, and great condition. Lift was working, and parking convenient. Beach is literally a 2min walk, so close to shops, Oceans Mall, restaurants...was fabulous. Best location ever, and so worth the price.

Nothing to complain about

Everything the staff is friendly, the place is very clean

Nothing

The accommodation was very cosy

Non

The location was close to shops. There was no need to drive we walked to shops

nothing

The property is in a beautiful location, looking out over the Indian Ocean. It has everything you need to make it feel like a home away from home. The decor is stylish and functional and the beds are exceptionally comfortable. The staff on the gate are very welcoming and friendly.

The back bedroom is not ideal as it's dark and the window opens on to a corridor, but would probably be perfectly adequate for children. The swimming pool is a little on the small side and can get very overcrowded.

The property is close to the mall and restaurants. The is about 500m the place is quite nice. I would definitely go back and even recommend it to family and friends

I liked everything about the place everything was easily accessible

Location and interior

The guest lodge is located in an amazing neighborhood close to the pier. The rooms were very tidy and the apartment was spacious, and aesthetically pleasing. Definitely looking forward to coming back here!

Love it!

The security at the gate (Bab'u Dlamini) welcome us with the great smile and handed the key that was nicely packed in an enveloped and he directed us to our apartment.

none, everything was perfect

The warm, lovely welcome we received from Mr Dlamini on arrival at the security gate. The loaded kitchen with crockery, casserole dishes, pots, containers, serving platters and silver. The Location, fantastic. Oh the TV programs, Mama was able to watch all her favourite programs. The two ladies who cleaned the apartment for us were easy to talk to.

Clean and close to most activities

The noise that was coming from the lift which was not working. It was banging most of the night

I liked the fact that the apartment literally had everything that we needed, it really felt like a home away from home. Place is situated next to oceans mall, it’s easy to access the shops. The beach is like 2 minutes walk away.

I didn’t like the fact that the sheets were not clean, had a yellow stain, hair pieces and some pubic hair. The water in the shower is so slow and it takes longer to get hot, we had to wait for like 5 minutes for the water to actually become warm, which is a waste of water.

The view and then environment was beautiful

Nothing we loved the place

Everything

Nothing

the room at the back was very dusty and needs to be dusted out completely.

It was close to facilities.clubs.malls and beach.we didn’t have to drive or Uber to those places.
