    Cons -

    • Lights not adequate in my room
    • Very limited on food offering in the restaurant. The area is extremely quiet. There is no nightlife. The pool is outside the conference room, which makes it uncomfortable to use if there is a conference happening..Rooms have very poor lighting and only 1 bath towel and hand towel was provided for a room with two guests.Parking is adequate but works on a first come basis. If you don't get parking close to reception, you have a long walk from the other 2 designated parking areas.
    • I hated the stairs going up to the appaprtmemt

    Whenever we visit Umthunzi, we feel at home. The staff is welcoming, there are no hustles on arrival. , The rooms are clean, comfortable and cozy. We call it our second home when we are in Shepstone, we don't see ourselves booking somewhere else.

    10NugmonishahPosted on: 3-10-2025

    I loved the room,the views

    I hated the stairs going up to the appaprtmemt

    8AshleyPosted on: 3-3-2025

    The staff was very friendly and helpful. The facilities was clean and comfortable. Overall, a very good experience.

    The breakfast menu was too different and expensive. Just a regular beacon and eggs would have been nice.

    9OscarPosted on: 1-23-2025

    Breakfast was ok. Due to few guests, they did not have buffet breakfast - this was expected

    With few guests present - we had a swimming pool all to ourselves

    9MoolmanPosted on: 1-23-2025

    The room was super nice and albeit an older design bathroom it was very well presented and maintained The breakfast was good and I would use as my preferred accomadation.

    Noisy guests in the passages

    10MakhanyaPosted on: 1-17-2025

    Everything else was great, we can't complain. Room was clean, breakfast in the morning was super. The place is at a peaceful location.

    The fact that the bathroom did not have a toilet brush to use after using it. Also there was not air freshener.

    The view from the balcony was nice.The bed was a nice size and comfortable.The room had an ac and a bar fridgeThe beach is in very close proximity to the hotel

    The WiFi was terrible and I had to buy my own data because the WiFi wasn't working continuously The TV has little to no reception.The supper price is way too expensive for the menu.The staff was helpful but not very friendly.There's noises at odd hours.

    The rooms were clean

    The surrounding areas , outside the sliding doors the floor and walls had moss and dirty which accumulated over time.

    10YvonnePosted on: 12-30-2024

    The family room was perfect ??. On booking new photos need to be uploaded to show the room and the view as well as the breakfast area need to be uploaded.

    Everything was perfect
