Provider-sourced guest reviews.
I did like the cute ginger kitty. The room comfortable. The ocean views are blocked by the relocation of Lighthouse Group in March 2025 by the Lighthouse Group. They are an independent insurance and financial services company.
What makes a guest house is its service, and its warmth of its staff - If the owners are not present, then it would be recommended to have a live-in staff present. There needs to be some life in the guest house. The owners, a lovely couple, seemed interested in their own life, and not the guest house. I think they are involved in real estate, and building a portfolio.
Location excellent
Breakfast could be better
The room and other facilities.
A bit noisy because very close to the highway.
We always stay here. It’s clean, comfortable, conveniently located, and the breakfast is good.
There isn’t anything we did not like.
Good sleep in comfortable beds. Sufficient space and storage in rooms.Lovely decor and furnishings and felt like home. Large patios with garden furniture to lounge around.
Cooking smells & noise wafted into bedrooms in the mornings.
Looks spectacular! Great location.

The location is perfect in Umhlanga , five minutes walk from Umhlanga Rocks and Oceans Mall
it’s perfect
Location is excellent and staff efficient and friendly. Facilities are top class. Ideal for the discerning business traveler.
Morning external traffic noise is a little too much. Could do with double glazing especially on street facing room windows.
Ticks all the boxes for comfort, cleanliness and convenience.
All was good

Brekkie was good. Spot was very clean. Close to the village for social evenings. Closer to the action would need to be a hotel. Best situated guest house in the area I reckon.

The breakfast is of great quality and well prepared and the location is perfect, very close to restaurants and just a short, pleasant walk to the beach.
Pleasant staff
Smell of bacon in entire house in morning. Inadequate kitchen ventilation.
Our room was fantastic with everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and the linen was clean. Only 1 thing was our bed sheet was frayed on the edges and torn. The bathroom was perfect with clean towels whenever we needed. The breakfast was great. The staff were absolutely fantastic, accommodating and very helpful if we needed anything. A fantastic warm family like place with all the facilities we needed and close to the restaurants and beach. We enjoyed ourselves immensely, felt very comfortable and would definitely stay there again!
Need new bed sheets.
It is greatly located, at a walking distance of the beach and restaurants. Parking inside the property was really great. The Guesthouse is lovely. With beautiful lounges, a bar and a good swimming pool. The bedroom was spacious as well as the bathroom, with a big balcony and a bit of a sea view. Breakfast was always good, not much variety, but of good quality. The service was excellent and the staff very friendly and helpful! All in all, it was a great stay, and we definitely recommend The Hamptons Guesthouse.
Nothing whatsoever...
Sisanda cares a lot about the property, and both common areas and each room is arranged with a lot of care. Her husband is also very welcoming and friendly. It is wonderful how you can find such a lovely respite from hustle and bustle of Umshalanga. Furthermore, when requested, Sisanda will accommodate dietary needs - so do mentioned ahead if you need some plant-based milk. The location is superb - just a few minutes to both Ocean Mall and the beach. Do also ask your hosts about place to eat out - they do have great recommendations !

Die Lage war sehr zentral
Die steile Treppe in die Zimmer!
The location suited my needs
The air conditioning unit was on the blink
Good location. Comfortable room.
Breakfast selection limited.
Hosts and very clean property
The Location is perfect, situated 750 m from Umhlanga’s main entertainment and leisure hubs , restaurants and malls . It is quietly tucked away from the noise of the Main Street so you can sleep peacefully
It was perfect , architecture and design and function and flow .
Parkeren op eigen terrein en op loopafstand van zee en restaurants. Goed bed.
Last van de keuken (geluiden en geur) op de kamer tijdens het ontbijt.
Great location and room sizes are amazing. Loads of space.
It was great all round.
Sehr freundlicher, herzlicher Empfang. Großes Zimmer mit Balkon und Ausblick aufs Meer. Zu Fuss sind mehrere Restaurants zu erreichen. Gutes Frühstück mit Obstsalat, Joghurt und egg Menüs.
Alles gut

It’s a lovely guest house. Spotless, spacious and comfortable room with a wonderful sea view. Sisanda and her staff were amazing. We also had a delicious breakfast!
There is nothing we didn’t like.
Comfortable bed, location
Clean swimming pool
Exit gate not well synchronised with remote.
The breakfast could do with a little more variety
Just the food was not the best but I would go back there again and again...the place feels safe and I was able to rest.
Clean, rooms are spacious, lovely would really recommend, definitely going back again
Nothing everything was tops
Fantastic fresh breakfast every morning

Wonderful host that went above and beyond
Beautiful house in an excellent location that is within walking distance to shops and restaurants
Would have appreciated gowns. One bedside lamp. Lighting in the bathroom dim at night and shower door doesn't close properly.
The location is perfect, close to all amenities. The rooms are very spacious and wonderful interior.
a bit of cheese for breakfast would be wonderful
Very clean,friendly staff
I loved everything….
Everything
There's nothing not to like
Exceptional location close to the pier. Very helpful staff. Delicious breakfast. Lovely pool in the back with an honesty bar. Great value for money.
All was good.
Since arriving, the experience was great. Staff super friendly. Great location.
Very nice view from my bedroom.
Great location, friendly staff and delicious breakfast
Great location and beautiful property with friendly and efficient staff.
Sisa, the new owner and host, was very welcoming and friendy. We have been at Hamptons several time before, and still, under new ownership, it is an absolutly perfect accommodation. Close to Restaurants and beach in Umhlanga, safe, very confortable, big rooms, lovely breakfast, and the staff is exceptional friendly. We appreciated the water bottles in the mini bar in the room. We will be back, keep the good service up!
awesome we asked for soft scrambled eggs it was soft. I ordered french toast I had to go back to ask how she made the french toast it was that good
we enjoyed everything
Everyone was friendly, the rooms were lovely, and they did their best to make us welcome and enjoy our stay.
There was no lift and quite a few stairs, so with heavy suitcases and no assistance on arrival it could have been better.
highly recommended, will be back
Location is excellent to get to restaurants etc. There is secure parking and the rooms are very comfortable. Breakfast was good too.
The bathroom floor could do with a good scrub. It was disappointing to have painters right outside our bedroom window in the morning. They should have painted when there were no guests in the room.
Great location
Windows and doors had to be closed because of monkeys which is hard to control Cat in dining room all the time
The breakfast was simple, but delicious. The staff serving the breakfast were also very friendly.

Location and cleanliness
No television
Enjoyed the homemade breakfast every morning. Everything was fresh and delicious. The kitchen staff always tried to ensure one was happy and full.
Lovely place to stay and will definitely be back. The place felt like home away from home. It’s located in a great central area and walking distance to the beach. There are also shops near by if one needs to get some snacks and great popular restaurants to try out.
Great host and hospitality.
Friendly hosts, lovely room and great simple breakfast.
