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.

What I liked most about my stay in Richards Bay was how convenient, quiet, and well-located everything was. The town has beautiful beaches, easy access to amenities, and a relaxed atmosphere, making it perfect for a peaceful getaway. I also enjoyed dining out—Sindu Restaurant offered amazing food that really surprised my palate, and Zula Beach was perfect for drinks, club vibes, and even breakfast with a great overall experience.What wasn’t my favourite is that there aren’t many activities within the town itself, but it remains a great place to unwind and enjoy the coastline.

Although our stay at Imvubu Lodge was brief, but it was truly a refreshing and enjoyable experience! We appreciated the beautiful bush-inspired setting and the tranquil atmosphere throughout the lodge. The dinner served was delightful and added to the overall enjoyment of our visit! As a suggestion, it would be worthwhile to consider providing electric blankets during the colder winter months to enhance guest comfort even further.

The Staff were exceptionally supportive especially Sis Thobile who was very helpful. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. The only challenge was the WiFi was a bit slow but overall I had a very positive experience with the entire team.

Very nice town, with a great shopping mall. The beach area do have security, but I still felt unsafe and I do not think I will spend my day there. Lots of nice fishing spots for people looking for a fishing trip.

The Canfields were very breath taking if you love nature.

The Canfields were very breath taking if you love nature. Empangeni Mall has almost every shop that you need. Tasted the new famous chicken restaurant called Pedro. Everything is close to each other. I mean ATMs, restaurants, gas stations and food shopping centers.
