The manager and one of the short guys just forgot their names but the treatment they gave us was out of this world their check in time was 10H00pm and we arrived at 02H00 they waited for us to arrive and even carried our bags to our room. Your service was one of the kind Ushaka Manor Guest House is a place to be. Thank you guys.

For someone travelling alone, I never felt lonely, the host was attentive while careful to give me my space. Breakfast was very nice . My room was beautiful with an amazing view of the ocean. Safe and very clean, with the most friendliest staff. Walking distance to the beach, restaurants and Oceans Mall. Will definitely come back 😊

The property is located in a great area, which is quiet and safe for travellers who need to escape the everyday hustle and bustle. It is in close poximity to the beach and other activities of interest (UShaka Marine World, Moses Mabhida Stadium, Gateway Theatre of Shopping Mall etc.). The room was beautifully arranged and very spacious with a nice garden adding to the tranquil setting. While the breakfast was delicious, a bit of variety would be welcome. The parking space was also a bit limited. The staff were really friendly and helpful, especially Thilo who made us feel very much at home. Overall, I would highly recommend the place and look forward to coming back soon.

1. 2 of the 3 rooms had cockroaches.
2. Room Lion Suit mini bar chips on sale were stale as they had a hole in the bottom of the packet.
3. Room Lion Suit Glasses for the mini bar were all different sizes and chipped.
5. Room Lion Suit toilet was broken.
4. Presidential Buffalo Suit TV/Sleeper couch had collapsed and was dirty and the cushions were dirty, and side wall unit glass had fallen out one of the doors
5. Welcome drink of sherry was enough for 1 25ml shooter glass so my spouse never got one.
6. Buffalo Suit toilet also faulty, took 30 minutes to refill if flushed
7. Cheap refilled hand wash in old bottles and sheets smelt.
8. Buffalo Suit's was TV tied on to the bracket and wires everywhere and was so small for the huge room. Very small selection of TV channels.
9. Food was great but prestation was degusting
10. Staff and management were arrogant and rude. Elaine was super she tried hard.
11. Kitchen next to up stair rooms so we could smell every plate that was cooked.
12. We left a day early as of the state of the presidential suit was awful. They declined a refund.

We had booked a suite with an ocean view and were given a very small room on the ground floor. When we complained about this on our arrival on Saturday, we were told that unfortunately there was nothing they could do, the manager would not be back until Monday and they were fully booked. That was a lie. The room we had actually booked was clearly in the separate building opposite. We could clearly see this from the photos on the internet. It was very loud at night because of other guests, but of course the hotel cannot be blamed for that. The staff are quite friendly, but the service, including at breakfast, was not good. We are happy to be able to travel on again now.

The place was well cleaned. Ambience was tranquil and serene. View from the balcony is beautiful & refreshing. Thilo and Elaine were great however there was no hot water in my suite resulting in me taking an almost cold shower the afternoon I checked in. I was moved to another room the next day but I was really really looking forward to spending my time there in the Suite I booked.

Breakfast was disappointing, there was 1 person trying to serve 14 people which was not impressive. I suggest more staff on the floor during Breakfast as it becomes frustrating having to wait for service you already paid for.

Will I return? Unfortunately the negatives outweigh the positives.

The staff was excellent.. the owner was generally unpleasant to speak to and was quite upset that i tried to iron my clothes in my room. I would suggest carrying your own iron as she insisted on her staff ironing my clothes for a charge. Rooms were beautiful but not cleaned well. An amazing amount of pet hair on the cushions. Towels were torn from wear and tear. It's a stunning property but overall, an average stay.

I had an awesome and peaceful stay at uShaka Manor. The room was sparkling clean, great breakfast with a lovely view of the pool and the staff were helpful in making my stay even more comfortable. The Guesthouse is a walking distance from the restaurants and Shopping malls and the beach in a very safe neighborhood. The wifi was strong and I’d absolutely recommend this place for value for money.

Excellent Guesthouse - will always stay there!! The side where the nice Harley Davidson bar is!!
Rooms clean. Bathroom clean and modern furniture and very helpful staff. I like it that the bar fridge was stocked as well as snacks for your room. It's every guest's own judgement if they want to use it or not. You guys did a great job - I will also advertise your guesthouse in our entire Telesure Group.

Room was neat, beautiful place and friendly staff. I was well received by the staff members. There was no water in Umhlanga area, the guesthouse went all out to ensure that I have drinking and bathing water, daily.
