Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The room is very small for 4 adults. The bathroom floor was full of water after we showered so there is a leak somewhere. Not very pleasant. When we attended breakfast the next morning we had to ask the staff to bring out more bacon and fresh fruit as the dishes were empty.
Beautiful Accomodation. Forest Vibes were excellent. Garden well maintained.
Cleanliness
Was looking for something in the forest
The Location
Staff members are not so welcoming, but they are nice
Enjoyed the breakfast and look of the lodge which was well maintained and assisted us at the last minute when we were let down with our other option.
I think the bath towels smelt a bit damp and not great quality. The neighbour's were rather loud and could here them speaking and baby crying so does echo. I understand for security reasons there as there is guard but the light coming through the passage though our unit at night was little disturbing,maybe a blind could be an option.
Everything and to top it off it value for money, next trip I'm bringing my family for a weekend getaways.

Location is easy to find,close to shops and still secluded from the town buzz. Lovely scenery especially for pictures,very aesthetically pleasing.
Breakfast options were a bit limited. You pay R20 per item to iron your clothes.
I liked almost everything in the property, I liked that it offered breakfast and close to the shopping centre. The serenity in the location. It a beautiful place no cap ❤️
The charging sockets are away from the bed you’ll need an extension cord go be able to use your gadgets while charging if they can improve on that. Most disappointing part I forgot my valuable when I followed up it was nowhere to be found. But overall it was a wonderful stay and highly recommended.
Upmarket, clean
N/a
I love nature especially trees
It was cosy and classy
the breakfast was top notch. i really enjoyed it.
how the staff present themselves to clients.
The venue was beautiful, and the tour I booked was well organised. I would suggest, however, that there be greater awareness and inclusivity ,also learn to be kind for children with hearing needs.

We did like the lay-out of the place...effective... Beautiful gardens and clean place
The communication between the staff... As we entered we did ask for a kitchenette... she did not really know how to help us... Later we have been told that we must pay extra.... There was a confusion on how many people we are..??? So that was a bit unpleasant...
Rooms very spacious. Great decor. Very comfortable. Great location close to restaurants and beaches
Needed music playing by the pool
La piscina
Solo como recomendación, sería ideal mejorar el meson de los lavamanos , ya que quedan muy alejados del cuerpo y el agua se derrama, haciendo que el piso se moje demasiado.
Location Spacious Room were conveniently separated for privacy
Trees knocking against the roof in the wind. Otherwise there’s nothing to not like about the property.
Breakfast,staff,location and rooms are all great as expected.
For longer stays with more then 2 people(a family of 4) would have been nice to have an extra room and kitchen facilities.
*Breakfast was reasonably good; *The location was also good; closer to shops, restaurants, beach, Simangaliso Game Reserve. *The Reception lady (Nolwazi) was very helpful; friendly, and had a welcoming attitude. (Her smile and helpfulness helped ease a bit the discomfort I was already feeling about my choice of hotel). *The full day Cape Vidal experience (Simangaliso Game Reserve and the Beach) with exceptional customer friendly service from Duma Legacy Tours.
*The behaviour of the Office white lady negatively clouded my checking-in experience and first impression of customer/guest service. I was waiting in the queue whilst the friendly receptionist (Nolwazi) was still busy with another guest. As soon as a group of white guests came in, the Office lady (white) suddenly came out with other young ladies and they focused on assisting the group that came in...it was as if I was not visible to them... *Had to be exceptionally assisted by an external game vehicle (Dumi Legacy Tours) for the Cape Vidal activity visit because the hotel would not avail their game vehicle for me and family... *No free complimentary water in the rooms, the water abd drunks in the fridge are on sale... *No sheltered parking. Cars overheat in the sun.
The staff was friendly
That we did not have iron in the room
Breakfast was good
The noise coming from the group of ladies next door.
The property is close to everything (shops, beach, restaurants, etc), and the forest view from our room was beautiful.
Beds were uncomfortable, the room and towels had a funny smell 😒 The plugs and aircon switch kept on tripping 😤 There were no shower doors, so we had to put a towel on the floor to stop the water from running onto the floor.
Nice 0lacw to. Be with warm receptions
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié l'accueil et la disponibilité du personnel. La chambre était à la hauteur de nos attentes. Le petit déjeuner était copieux. Tout était parfait pour nous.
Friendly staff and good breakfast!
Wifi doesn't always work
I liked everything
Nothing
Beautiful location, unfortunately the bedding was very old and ripped, the towels are thin and old and stinky. The showers are covered in mold and a high slipping hazzard when you get out of the shower as the water pools outside. The walls are not insulated, could not sleep as the upstairs guests are loud throughout the evening. The one bed was broken. The tv doesnt work. The WiFi doesn’t work.
The breakfast was good and the two ladies at the front desk was very helpful when we reported the loud guests.
Pool , cleaning services , property was like a tropical forest
Average Pool area well situated
The location was good. The breakfast provided a variety of options and was overall very good.
The toilet had a strong smell of urine even after being cleaned and the smell carries through into the bedroom which was very unpleasant.
Amazing pool and lovely accommodation overall!
Room nicely decorated and bed very comfortable - had all we needed - a hair dryer, a small fridge and coffee ☕️ station in the room. Gardens, common areas and swimming pool were stunning.
The shower screen was too short and water spilt on the floor.
Clean and spacious units with excellent breakfast
Nothing
Facilities was good

The place was clean, comfortable, safe and staff members were very friendly.
Nothing, everything was perfect.
Beautiful place and friendly staff.
10/10
Everything is BEAUTIFUL
Nice location not far from beach and restaurants. Good variety at breakfast. Very clean rooms and lots of TV channels for relaxing evenings. Balcony with lovely views into the tropical garden. Very welcoming and friendly staff. I will definitely come again!
All good
I booked online and paid online and when i got to the stupid property there was no one i waited and called the landline no one answered that’s 2 hours parked outside on the rain and nobody bothered to acknowledge the boooking nor the payment
The breakfasts were lovely, and the staff went out of their way to make our stay special. It was my birthday weekend, and they treated me to a wonderful array of Chocolates and biscuits left in the room. We added another night which they arranged seamlessly. This is our second visit, and we will be back. St Lucia is a special place!
Nothing, it was all perfect
Sehr zuvorkommendes Personal,Sauberkeit und Sicherheit im Haus,Top Entspannungsplätze sowie der Pool
Alles ok
Nach der ersten Nacht haben wir um ein anderes Zimmer gebeten, da das Bett Recht schmal und unbequem war. Zudem roch es ein wenig im Badezimmer. Die Dame an der Rezeption hat uns mehrere Zimmer zum gleichen Preis zur Auswahl gestellt. Wir haben dann ein wesentlich größeres im 1. OG mit Balkon genommen: Top zwei riesige und gemütliche Betten mit herrlichem Ausblick in den Innenhof. Das Frühstück war auch sehr gut. Tolles Personal 😃
Wir kommen gerne wieder.
The breakfast was exceptionally perfect, everything regarding their buffet was amazing👌. Their beds are comfortable and clean rooms too. Their pool was very clean also it was fun to be there.
I was not happy about the lack of towels for the whole 3 days we were there we had to go to the reception and ask for hand towels they only put bath towels only in the room, in our room it was that situation yet in our in-laws room since we went as two couples there had towels. Another thing I wish they could tell people to bring their own shower gel because they were not refilling unless we ask so they should warn us so actually they were not refilling anything including coffee sachets and that I didn't even ask as I was tired to go up and down since there were no phones or intercom to the Another thing no towels for the floor either when you get out of the shower I had to put mine that I came with because I didn't want to fall.
Pool area was very good, the forest location was beautiful.
Not enough parking available and we had to park across the road on the verge. The neighbour's next door to us, snored ferociously the whole night and kept my family awake. I understand that there wasn't anything that management could do in this regard, so we never reported it, but it is an indication of the thin walls / roof not insulated sufficiently. It really ruined the night for us 😔
The garden view is excellent
Good.Except the Breakfast was a bit slow with only 2 individuals serving
Didn't enjoy the pool volleyball net in such a small pool where you couldn't just relax in the pool without being hit with the ball.
Location was amazing with nice and tidy rooms
The only issue that we came across was with the Laundary where staff was well communicated about the check out time and yet they delayed it
Great breakfast, beautiful location, friendly atmosphere.
Bathroom outdated and not taken care of. 3 hour wait for the iron for clothes was not acceptable. Because of humidity, room gives that smell of mold.
Really Really good 👍
The place was clean and beautiful The staff was friendly
To noisy and to many people was partying the parking area!
Everything
The air-con.
Shower wasn't very clean and etremely slippery. There was one towel short. Noise policy not implemented. Extremely rowdy people at the pool area. Noise throughout the night and early hours of the morning and disturbed our sleep. Fridge inventory didn't match what was in the fridge.
Lekker ontbijt. Hygiënisch. Grote kamer. Vriendelijk personeel.
Hele badkamer wordt nat door het douchen.
The staff is so welcoming and friendly. The rooms are in a good condition
Breakfast 🥣 was so delicious
Location Breakfast spread
Bathrooms were constantly flooded as there was insufficient floor/ bath mats
