I had a very comfortable stay in a well-appointed guesthouse. My room had a lovely sea view and the bed was comfortable with good quality bedding. The continental breakfast provided was a great start to the day. The location was convenient, being close to the airport, restaurants, and the seafront. I even walked to a local restaurant that was recommended to me and felt safe. Check-in and check-out were smooth.

The walls were thin, so I could hear everything from the surrounding rooms.

The guesthouse is conveniently located close to restaurants and the city center, making it easy to explore and find dining options. The beautiful seafront is just a short walk away, allowing guests to enjoy the beach and scenic views. The airport is also conveniently close, taking only 15-20 minutes to reach. The rooms are clean and comfortable, providing a pleasant stay. The friendly staff goes above and beyond to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Guests can also enjoy facilities such as a lovely pool and garden area.

Some guests have encountered issues with the cleaning staff being too eager to enter the room before check-out time, which can be intrusive and unwelcome.

Had a decent Easter staycation. The continental breakfast was good, with a variety of cereals. The rooms were clean and well-designed, and the air conditioning worked well in the heat. The location was convenient, with grocery stores and shops within walking distance.

The pool was very small and the water wasn’t clean. I was disappointed by the lack of lounging chairs available.

Super host, welcoming staff, attention to detail, serene atmosphere, relaxing pool, sea view room upgrade.

Can't think of anything.

I had a wonderful stay at this luxurious 4-star hotel. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach and the vibrant center of Umhlanga. The room was spacious and clean, with a stunning sea view. I loved the "do-it-yourself" continental breakfast provided in the room every day, it was a great way to start my mornings. The patio overlooking the ocean was a beautiful spot to enjoy a cup of coffee and watch the sunrise. The hotel also offered excellent amenities such as air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and a swimming pool. The staff were friendly and helpful, providing useful information and recommendations for restaurants in the area. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here.

I highly recommend this hotel to family and friends.

Great location with beautiful sea view. Creative and homely atmosphere. Warm welcome despite late arrival. Super host, friendly staff, and attention to detail. Pool, shopping, and beach nearby. Free upgrade to sea view room. Small kitchenette with complimentary snacks. DIY breakfast in room. Lovely patio for sunrise coffee. Air conditioning and free WiFi. Helpful guidance on local restaurants. Clean room with great amenities.

The location of the guesthouse was ideal, with easy access to restaurants and the beach. The house itself was beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. I felt secure and had the privacy I needed. The view of the ocean from my room was so relaxing. I had a comfortable night's sleep in the cozy bed. The guesthouse provided all the necessary amenities and the room had a stunning view of the ocean. The owner, Ina, was welcoming and accommodating, making sure all my requests were taken care of. I appreciated the attention to detail and the spotlessly clean room. The continental breakfast provided was enjoyable, with great coffee, toast, muffins, rusks, and fresh fruit. Although there was no hot breakfast, I didn't mind as it was convenient to have everything served in my room. The guesthouse also provided beach towels which was a nice touch. I had a wonderful stay at Hillside Guesthouse. The location, comfortable accommodation, and perfect host made it a great experience. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others looking for a peaceful and enjoyable stay.
