The 509 Umhlanga Loft

Very spacious Great value for money. Great location

It’s in a quiet place, clean and closer to facilities

Hlengiwe

The location is very nice, close to the airport and the shopping mall. A late-check-out was possible.

The apartment was only moderately clean and for a recently built house not in the best condition. Towels were missing (only very stained ones could be found in the closet). Getting in and out of the building is very cumbersome. Initially you can't get into the building unless the security guy lets you in as the opener of the parking garage is situated in front of the apartment door, which you can't reach if no one lets you in. Instructions regarding this were very sparse.

The apartment was very clean, well maintained and comfortable, in a nice area. On the Sunday we were there it appeared safe and quiet.

Firstly, access signage needs to be improved. Street number '38 not found, nor the name 'Umhlanga Loft'. A building name was provided but no clear entrance to parking garage. An unmarked roll down shutter door, closed, with no visible signage or attendant was the actual entrance We eventually gained access when a stranger entered the parking and called the attendant for us. Secondly, access to the key lockbox was not immediately clear. When the code is set, the bottom half of the lockbox needs to be pulled forward and down to reveal the keys. Thirdly, the unmarked switch located on the wall above the stove needed switching on to operate the stove. It was very stiff and required two hands to put it in the down position, so without the host's consent, one would not automatically attempt this for fear of damaging the switch. All three of these difficulties required a separate call to the host, but she handled each query promptly and pleasantly.

I did not enjoy the fact that fact that the apartment was so hot, the air cooler was not sufficient for the space.

Modern layout, all amenities you would need

Well located and within walking distance to Gateway mall. Secure parking with direct access to elevators. Host was attentive and addressed all our needs

Apartment got very hot and the evaporative cooler was inadequate for Durban summers.

That that was no fan at the bedroom only that portable aircon at the dining, it risky to pick it up to.l the bedroom climbing all those stairs so if there's a fan installed in the ceiling bedroom it will.be much better

We had a little trouble using the lockbox but our host was helpful when we called her and eventually got it right. The apartment was clean and was spacious. Loved it. It was also closer to most places we needed to go to.

The apartment needed an air conditioner more than an air cooler.

Was central location and close to amenities

Thought the apartment had a sea view

It was peaceful and beautiful l really enjoyed my stay

House keeper was so rude to us

Everything…. Beautiful and cosy.

Pillows were uncomfortable, too big and hard.

It looked different from other places I've booked into

No aircon and was difficult to find the entrance to park .had to call the host

i loved the location of the place and it was super clean and beautiful inside.

The access control is a little poor, anyone seems to ve able to walk into the building through the garage entrance that is always open.

The loft was clean and in excellent condition. Had everything I needed. Very modern and the location was brilliant. Exceeded my expectations.

No air-conditioning or ceiling fan

I like the cleanliness and the setup was amazing! Bed was comfy

Mmmmm nothing!

I loved everything about it, great place to rewind. 🤌🏾♥️

The remote didn’t seem to work for the parking, had a bit of hassle getting in and out but nothing major.

Everything

There were no pots and the braai stand was really really dirty. Please encourage clients to always clean it before use at least even if you have to clean it before use, but there won't be old meat stuck on the grillers

Very neat, smart, safe and close to the hospital.

Nothing

Was NYC

Anything

I loved the homely aesthetic vibe,the host was sweet and let me checkout an hour later

There’s nothing I didn’t like

Everything about the place is amazing,it’s very clean

I love the place, everything was prefect but it was not clean

It was not clean , the smell of blankets looks like it was placed there a year ago

Every

The place is just as it is advertised on the pictures. Its very clean although what i was not happy about is that there is no one to welcome you and take you through the place, everything was handled over the phone. The room is very hot due to the hot weather conditions, i recommend that you install air conditioner..apart from that everything is exceptional about the room

No one to welcome you

The property was amazing. It was very cozy and comfy. Best property by far. It felt like home.

Everything

Nothing

The place was beautifully decorated, clean, and neat. It looked exactly like the pictures and was larger than expected. The host is a great communicator and went out of her way to help me. The cleaning staff is friendly, helpful, and kind. I would go back.

The balcony was under construction and I was not informed prior to my stay. The pool was not as pictured as it is smaller in real life.

I had a wonderful stay at this apartment and loved nearly every bit of it. The unit was modern, stylish, and impeccably clean, with a neat and thoughtfully designed layout. The photos in the listing perfectly matched the reality, which was a pleasant surprise. It had everything I needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The location was fantastic, and the host was responsive and friendly, ensuring a smooth experience from start to finish.

The only drawback was the lack of air conditioning. While an air cooler was provided, it wasn’t very effective in dealing with the intense summer heat experienced in Umhlanga, which made it a bit uncomfortable. That said, the overall experience was fantastic, and I’d highly recommend this place, more especially during cooler months. It’s a beautiful and well-maintained apartment that truly stands out!

Fantastic central location. Beautiful lspace, well equipped and spotlessly clean.

Nothing.

this place is beyond nice and i enjoy spending my holidays

nothing

the location was perfect..its walking distance to gateway mall and other attractions in the area.

there's no privacy on the balcony nor shading or covering when it rains.

Everything about the location is perfect. Plus we had the opportunity to meet our neighbors, super nice people!

That fact the we only stayed for one night

Very helpful for changes

Beautiful & peaceful space. Filled with every amenities - a true home away from home. Beautiful morning ocean views and evening city lights all in one. Very clean and comfortable! Safe and secure parking. Right in the centre of umhlanaga with everything you need on you're door step! I'm planning to book here again!

Definitely need a fan or aircon otherwise everything else is absolutely perfect!
