Guest Houses in Richards Bay

The place is nice and clean, staff was very helpful and friendly.

I really enjoyed the service was so excellent 😊❤️

There is NO Breakfast, that is One thing Impongo Royal Lodge MUST include on their Menu. Otherwise the Lodge facilities were great. I can't complain.

Cleanliness, friendly host, comfortable bed

From the gate to the receptionist and the lady who took us to our room. The welcoming attitude, the smile. Shame they are very good in what they do

The place is clean and the staff is friendly

First and foremost, the staff were truly exceptional! From reception to the housekeeping team, every individual was incredibly warm, accommodating, and a delight to interact with. I regret not being able to tip them, as I didn’t have cash on hand—they certainly deserved it. The guesthouse itself was nothing short of remarkable. Its welcoming and homely ambiance immediately made me feel at ease. The cleanliness was impeccable, the garden beautifully maintained, and the breakfast an absolute treat. Although I’m not one to take many photos while immersed in the moment, I must say the pictures simply do not capture the full charm and beauty of the guesthouse. It’s a serene and picturesque retreat that far exceeds expectations.

The directions were clear, the staff very friendly and the room was clean and the bed very comfortable. We came late but enjoyed swimming in your pool cooling down after a long drive. Thanks to the boy that welcomed us with a smile and was willing to assist with whatever we needed a big thank you to him.

Beautiful place and warm hosts

Everything! From the reception to the rooms! Very kind, loving staff. Beautiful spacious room, very clean. The breakfast was divine. What a beautiful property. This is the best property, the staff well trained. Tv has enough channels to watch, bathroom big and clean.

I stayed at Umuzi Guest House for three nights prior to spending six weeks doing conservation in the African bush. It was a very enjoyable short stay, made so largely by the consideration shown to me by the hosts, Annie and Gary. They not only came to pick me up at the airport and then took me back when it was time for me to leave, they took me out to shop when it was raining (it’s an easy walk to the shops and restaurants when it’s nice) and they even offered to cook me breakfast. It was more like I was a friend visiting than a paying guest. The guest house itself is in located in a quiet section of Richard’s Bay with an attractive pool out front. My room was perfect for a single person or a couple, providing a comfortable bed, plenty of space to stow belongings, a nice sofa, and a kitchen with all the basics. The bathroom is very comfortable with both a shower and a bathtub. There was some difficulty with leaking of the roof during a heavy rain, but it wasn’t a problem; I didn’t even change rooms, though they offered me the opportunity as soon as I told them about the issue. In short, I would highly recommend staying at this guest house for anyone staying in Richard’s Bay, particularly if you’re there for an extended stay.

This is a 5 Star in the making
