Reviewed Jun 22, 2025Located in a quiet & safe, residential area. Private, spacious & clean apartment with natural beachy decor & all the comforts of home. Open-plan living area with a well equipped kitchen (gas stove tops), dining table, ample seating space, TV and decent WiFi. 2 comfortable bedrooms with enough storage & a cozy bathroom with shower. Semi-closed veranda/stoep overlooking the outdoor braai area with small splash pool. Thanks for the warm welcome Veronica, we had a lovely stay.
No complaints at all, but if I had to mentioned something - both bedrooms had separate beds, but we moved them together ;)

Everything was just perfect, they consider having a double/ queen bed in the main bedroom especially for bigger built guests.

Reviewed Dec 11, 2023Deja Vu is the most wonderful surprise that a traveller could ever wish for. The place is beautifully appointed, a lovely, very modern kitchen equipped with everything needed to either cook up a storm for family & friends or have a quiet dinner for one! There is a very inviting & beautifully furnished under cover patio & a very well maintained braai area, making outdoor-indoor living a real pleasure. Completed by a very clean, well looked-after swimming pool, a true saviour at the end of a very hot, humid day spent working on site. Nothing more rewarding than a dip in the pool, to wash away the hardships of a difficult working day. Of course, none of the above would be possible without the brilliance of the hostess, Ms Veronica Heunes, whose intricate attention to detail is not only impressive but very rarely seen in similar accommodation. Cleanliness is paramount to Ms Heunes & absolutely exquisite, nothing is left to chance or overlooked. Impeccable linens, always fresh towels, while the place is kept to the highest standards of hygiene & cleanliness without ever seeing anyone doing the work. Everything is done quietly. with great subtlety, making sure there is no interference with the guests' schedule or resting time. All in all...SUPERB! Personally, I have found my 'home-away-from-home' when I need to visit Richards Bay. Thank you, Deja Vu, thank you Ms veronica Heunes & her staff.
Wrong question...there was nothing I didn't like. Truly, this is an awesome place!

The bed and pillows were so comfortable, the place was clean and tidy. The neighborhood is very quiet, and a lovely home away from home. The air conditioning was a great help because Richards Bay temperatures in summer are over 30 degrees. We will certainly be back. Thank you Dejavu.
