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

"Staff members were full of hospitality, the main area is spectacular and cozy. Three hours driving tour through the game reserve was fun, but since there are two driving tours per day, it’d be nicer if there are shorter hours options well because three hours driving can get tiring."

"The lodge is lovely with very attentive staff. The cat sanctuary is a must visit and trips to Hluhluwe was easy to organise. It is an easy drive to St Lucia and to Bayete to see the elephant education demonstration which is a must-do. Be aware that there is very little around there so likely you ..."
