Sehr freundliches Personal und zentrale Lage ausgezeichnet zum Strand mit geräumigen Zimmern.
Die Anlage ist schon bisschen älter, was man deutlich sieht, WLAN und Sauberkeit nicht perfekt. Aber das negative bei uns was eine Glastüre zur Toilette, den Sinn versteht keiner.
De locatie van de accommodatie. We hadden een prachtig uitzicht op zee.
De kamer heeft wat achterstallig onderhoud en was niet volledig schoon.
Cleanliness and friendly staff, close to the beach
They don’t have warm pools
Die Unterkunft liegt sehr schön direkt am Strand. Sehr ruhig und in der Nähe gibt einige Restaurants die zu Fuß zu erreichen sind. Das Personal ist wahnsinnig freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Leider war die Zimmerausstattung schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen, was nicht ganz unserem Stil entsprochen hatte und auf den Bildern auch nicht so richtig ersichtlich war.
Very nice position in front of the ocean!
Looks better in the pictures than in reality.
We had a very pleasant stay. Location is amazing with quick access to the boardwalk and beaches. Staff were very courteous and accommodating.
The location is just breathtaking
Nothing
Excellent host, super staff, clean and very comfortable. Amazing view
That we could stay longer
Super nice views.
Easy access and spacious rooms. Great location and the staff were really pleasant and helpful.
The breakfast. Perfect location
Mould in the bathroom
Alojamiento amplio, bien cuidado com unas vistas al oceano increibles.
Nothing. Did not stay the night at the Guesthouse. Run down, dirty, smelly and mold on ceiling.
Fridge had a smell. bathroom and room had a urine and smoke smell. throw pillows had a sweat smell. shower was extremely dirty (grout) Mold spots on ceiling. outside walls water damage, the exterior of boundry walls as well as the guest house structure. owner surely would have known that we checked out after checking in. did not bother to refund us. This place is not as the pictures. it is a shame as it is in a perfect location.
Location and breakfast

The best shower!! Oh my word. Great staff and good location
Breakfast and the room had a weird smell upon arrival but cleared with open wondows
The breakfast, The staff is amazing especially the receptionist, The views especially in the morning 😃, The beach is beautiful, the environment is peaceful and clean 😊.
The location and the very friendly staff
At times the hot water got finished in the evening
Close to the beach; breathtaking sea views
Beds not comfortable
FANTASTIC location and views, easy walk to beaches, restaurants and shops. Lovely staff, great breakfast with great coffee.
Bath outlet leaked; we eventually ended up keeping water running in order to bath. We couldn't use the loungers on our verandah because the cushions were soaking wet and the loungers were too slippery without them.
Views 👌🏻
Location
Everthing, especially the friendly staff & nearnest to the beach.
Nothing
The breakfast was based where the reception was. We did not even eat the breakfast. This made the check-in process inappropriate as it was a bit stuffy. The view was great from the room, it was exactly as it was advertised. The bed was not good and comfy. The room was a bit stuffy, some fresh air would have been great. The bathroom had a mold and stuffy this made it unclean
The water was cold during our stay. They must open windows or use the AC for fresh air to free the room from moisture and mold.
Actually nothing - being a regular traveler, this was an awful stay. I would have vacated but could not find alternative accomodation on such short notice. The place is old, unkept and dated. Bedding was torn, furniture has damage on, and is old and damage. The outside shower floor is tatters. It is awful. I will not stay there again and dednately not recommend it to anyone.
All the above
Closer to the beach, lovely staff and a delicious breakfast.
I think they need to work on their shower place to look as beautiful as their whole place. Nothing bad just need to match their aesthetics.
It’s beach front, amazing
The bed wasn’t ready comfortable
The location is the best. Friendly staff, comfortable room.
The bathroom door should be sandblasted. Even for couples some privacy is required.
Great location and staff
Property is very tired, many functions of the room were not practical: automatic sensor lighting in bathroom - lit whole room in the middle of night. Light switches off when using the toilet, bath did not hold water in.
The view
There was mold in the shower, and the water was unclean.
Location. Breakfast.
Room needs a lot of maintenance and repairs. Shower water smells terrible. Rotten flooring. Towels not white any longer. I stayed at the main house twice and it was fine. The Villa is no good.
Schönes Zimmer. Manche Möbel wirkten etwas abgenutzt, aber alles war sauber und das Bett bequem. Das Personal war super freundlich. Aber der Hammer war wirklich die Lage und der Ausblick aus dem Zimmer/vom Balkon. Perfekter Blick auf den Ozean. Insgesamt sehr zu empfehlen.
Next to the beach
Breakfast was limited
Prime location. We could park our car and walk along the prominade, go to restaurants and the Spar and beach. There's no need to drive anywhere when booking into Vetho house. The breakfast was superb and the view onto the ocean added to the spoils.
Everything was to our liking.
i had a lovely stay overall. the breakfast was great and well prepared although adding a bit more variety would make the experience even better.
One area that needs attention is the condition of the rooms. The rusty fittings and some marks on the walls took way from overall experience. I also found it inconvenient having to move from one room to the another whenever i needed to warm up food. adding a microwave would be thoughtful improvement.
The view Bathroom is nice and huge The amazing breakfast
Nothing
The position is amazing. Direct access to the beach walk. Nice pool deck
The facilities are a bit tired and it needs a bit of TLC probably because it is so close to the sea
Perfect location

The location is unbeatable! The staff are fantastic. Gaby makes the best soft boiled eggs ever!
Fabulous Villa, our Home away from home. Amazing staff! Breathtaking Views from the bed, room, pool, restaurant!!! Will definitely be back!!!
Its proximity to the beach and the local shops. . Everything was a walk away.
It was beautiful
On the first night it was not so clean
Location
The view to the ocean was obscured Our blanket was dirty The furniture was damaged, looks old Jacuzzi was cold The staff seemed irritated when I asked for tomato that was missing on my plate
The rooms, the location, the food, the staff 👌🏾everything was perfect ♥️
The location is great. Right on the beach and within in close walking distance of a number of restaurants and shops. The rooms are large, the views spectacular and the linen is great.
Too much light comes into the ground floor rooms. The doors to the bathroom are glass so the light shines through the blinds in the bathroom straight into the bedroom. We ended up hanging a blanket over the bathroom door to block out the light. They need to put block out blinds or curtains on the bathroom window, or a solid door on the bathroom. We have stayed in one of the upstairs rooms previously and the light was not a problem there.
Great location. Amazing staff
The location is great. Walking distance to restuarants and you get a perfect view of the sea. Breakfast was lovely and filling. The staff was exceptional, very friendly and helpful
The unit is quite outdated. I thought the shower was dirty, but it turned out it was just deteriorated. The place could do with some renovations. Carpets and pillows werent clean

Ubicación inmejorable frente al mar y a unos minutos caminando de restaurantes, bares y pequeño centro comercial. La habitación era grande y con cocina separada. Personal muy amable. Desayuno delicioso. Relación calidad precio - muy buena.
La puerta del baño es de cristal, allgo incómodo.
Service was good

Great breakfast. Even better location.
The space lacks spatial harmony (feng shui).
Comfortable room, good breakfast and lovely location
The absence of sport channels
Fantastic venue with incredible views. Great staff.
The room is very old and not the cleanest and needs many upgrades. The bed was comfy though.
Close to restaurants near the beach
All good
Keep up the good work
Lage Lage Lage…

The location and views.
There was a leak in the roof next to the bathroom and unfortunately a dress got wet.
It’s very peaceful
They can do better by cleaning the showers
Everything was superb exactly what I was looking for.
None
Could do with a bit more of the cold breakfasts, eg crossaints, muffins etc
The building needs a little bit of work, chipped furniture and tiles

Nothing I can think of
The location could not be better. Close to a lovely tidal pool and beach. The breakfast was outstanding. The view from the room is spectacular and it was great to sleep with the doors open and hearing the waves crash on the beach. The staff are friendly.
The room needs a bit of an update. The shower is clean but looks a bit weathered. The mattress definitely needs replacing - when one turns around the other person shakes around something terrible. The bathroom also has motion sensors that lights up the room in die middle of the night and then wakes then other person. Overall I would still recommend the place due to the location and views.
Outstanding location and very friendly staff. The room was spacious and comfortable
Very minor decor updates in the room would be recommended.
The place is super clean and the breakfast was amazing. It next to the sea. We slept hearing the sound of the sea.
Everything was amazing
The ocean view, spacious rooms, comfortable bed and cleanliness
Bugs
The location is beautiful
Just think they can bring more variety into their breakfast menu
Wonderful location,friendly staff and a beautiful view from my balcony.
Maybe a warm jacuzzi for the cooler days and a Beach towel would be great .
Extremely friendly staff , very neat and tidy with breathtaking views.
Everything was good. The area is surrounded by so many restaurants and nice hangout spots. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was amazing.
Nothing
The location
1. The alternative room that I was given was in an old structure and significantly differed to the room i booked. 2. The quality of the room was very poor. 3. Communication was very poor and seemed deliberate, I was called by the staff asking about my arrival time and only when I got to the premises that I was informed about the air-con leaks in my room. I arrived at the property around 18:30 and there was no way i was going to find alternative accommodation at the time.
Everything was very good. Staff and location excellent.
Bed was lump in unit 4. Uneven.
Wonderful views. Great location. Walking distance to restaurants
No complaints
Parking space is limited
The service was exceptional. The staff was very friendly

It’s a little gem! Location, the brekkie, friendly staff, the new pool deck - it’s wonderful.
Great location right on the Ballito ocean front boardwalk, very friendly staff, good breakfast served on the nice terrace
Noisy ongoing renovation works
Everything was fantastic from breakfast to rooms, beds, location....
Nothing to complain about. Everything was fantastic.
The staff were incredible. They were always exceptionally friendly and helpful. Our room was always kept clean and ready for us. They came every day to ensure the room and linen was clean. The room had an aircon and ceiling fan so we were incredibly comfortable in the heat. The shower was very spacious with great water pressure! Our room also had a little kitchenette with a fridge, freezer, air fryer, and stove.The breakfast was incredible. Upon entering the dining area there were two choices of juice and some 'starters' that varied depending on the day. We had crumpets with butter and jam the one day, muffins the next, an assortment of cheeses, and then waffles with the assortment of cheese and jam to choose from. After this, we were given Muslims, yogurt and fruits which varied on the day. It was so refreshing and made for a great start. After this, they took your breakfast order where we had some options for how our eggs were done. The breakfast we chose (english) game with a pork banger, mushrooms, toast, bacon, eggs, some cucumber, and tomatoes. It was brilliantly prepared and was the perfect amount. We had a perfect view of the ocean each morning and it was beyond relaxing watching the waves while having breakfast. The location was close to some very good resturants (tasos and al pescatore (highly reccommend)) and within walking distance of multiple popular beaches. We ended up doing a 5 minute drive down to Thompsons as we found it was the perfect spot for us however Willards has a great beach food spot and a short walk to an icecream and shake shop. We really enjoyed being able to walk along the promenade in the evenings watching the waves and feeling the wind with easy access from the guesthouse.
While this wasnt an issue, the parking could get a bit cramped when they were at capacity but we could get out easily enough with a turn or two.
the staff, location and breakfast were lovely
paint was splattered all over outdoor furniture and outdoor shower, neded more towel rails
We were not aware of the breakfast so did not include.
The reason that I would not recommend the unit as a romantic place to stay is the bathroom door. There is no privacy with the glass door. Perhaps a decal on the door would rectify this.
Отличные номера, вид на океан, пляж и набережная прям через дорогу. Отличный персонал.
Balcony, spacious rooms.
There were ants in the hotel room.
