Best choice for couples. Spacious room (all rooms overlooking the beach). Everything was working and the staff was super friendly. If you want to avoid crowds on the beach and in the hotel, you must book North Star. Taxi is available and the trip to Umhlanga takes less than 6 minutes. Highly recommended

The cover thing about the hotel was the location. Great view of the beach and ocean and easy to walk e everywhere. Room was close to the pool and parking was free and easy. The shower leaked through the bottom by the door. People by pool woke us at 3:00 am one night not a 5 star hotel but I’d stay there again. Not expensive. Nice staff
