Except the muddy road, the place was exceptional. I would definitely stay there again.

It was quite and peaceful. Very good for connecting with nature.

The road is not very good for a small car. You'd probably get stuck on the mud when it's raining.

The place is beautiful and peaceful

The fact that there was no back up for loadshedding which took place a number of times during our stay... The place was dark

Stunning Venue lovely staff. Rooms need some work done on them.

The location is stunning and I would imagine in summer it would make an ideal place for a family holiday.The staff were very friendly and the owner who checked us in was great.

The rooms however need some work done on them. There were no side lamps next to the beds and only one side table. There was no wifi or if there was we were not told about it. The rooms are very cold being next to a river and electric blankets or heaters would be nice also some non slip carpets on the floor next to the beds. Stools next to the coffee area would be nice which could double up as a dressing table with a mirror. There was no soap in the dispensers.

We enjoyed the activities but unfortunately the stay could have been better.

I like the water sports and just the friendliness of the staff.

1. Breakfast was not the best 2. There was a matric dance event at night. We couldn't sleep because of the noise. The owner should have communicated in advance about this. 3. There was only one side table. One tissue roll. We felt like we needed to keep asking for things.

Fantastic place for a peaceful and quite breakaway!

Water activities supplied is good fun. Rooms were clean and tidy!

Nothing offered to do after 16h00 and no bar and dinner facilities available!?

Please get an alternative solution for the loadshedding, darkness is scary especially in the forest.

The worst guesthouse we have ever stayed in - and we have stayed at many we have stayed at many

Nice setting and lovely helpful staff member who was receptionist, bar tender, cook and cleaner all in one

Shabby, poor facilities, driveway full of potholes. Generally allowed to go to seed with little apparent involvement of the owner. it desperately needs some TLC. Sold us two cold drinks at R22 each despite clearly being marked with a retail price of R8

Overall good experience

Location is fantastic, beautiful views.

There's nobody at the reception desk to receive or assist guests, they're normally all over lodge, ac in our room was leaking water and there's no microwave in the room, you have to ask the staff to warm up your meals, this would be very awkward late in the evening.

Absolute Gem, beauty, comfort, location - it has it all.

I am from Australia, visiting with my Mum. The location is exceptional, the river frontage is magical and the gardens, dining areas, pool - just excellent. The room size surprised us, they are big, absolutely spotless, comfortable and had a wooden patio that overlooked the pool and river. The rooms are also quite stylish and the single beds we used, were quality and comfortable. The staff were just so lovely and we got to meet the owners, who were such warm, interesting and lovely people. The location is close to the Wild Coast, but the beach at the river mouth and Leisure Bay close by - were much more fun to visit. I can’t say enough good things about Umtamvuna - highly recommended.
