The complex is great with beautiful views, but water issues need attention - toilet dysfunctional, bathroom basin tap no water to wash hands or brush teeth. Blanket dirty and smelly. Requests not attended promptly, i.e., there was no kettle and tea, only coffee was available, and no milk person in charge brought kettle in the morning without tea requested. No help to get food ordered. I recommend Thokozani Shuttle services for anyone visiting very friendly he took me, to Eshowe dropped me in the yard of my family home, and even made sure I was at the right place. After battling to find places to order food, I contacted him he suggested a few places and ensured food was ultimately delivered. His contact details are as follows: +27 66 116 6106 and 0731013677.

“Disappointing”
The price and little balcony and outside chairs. At least it was clean. A lot of what I didn't like could be fixed without breaking the bank
