    14 October 2017

    "Thank you to Gerda for opening up her home to us, it felt like I was visiting a relative. She called to check if we were still okay and made sure we were comfortable. I appreciated the breakfast spread she had laid out for us."

  • "Durban 2017"

    09 October 2017

    "Hi, I'd like to thank Gerda and Nick for their hospitality during our stay.I like the fact that my boys had their own room with an en-suite! They were quite excited about that. The aircon was also a plus, as it was quite humid during our stay.I didn't like the fact that we could ONLY watch the same t.v. channel that the hostess was watching (and there was quite a bit of channel-hopping - to programs that we were not interested in at all)In my personal opinion, the dcor needs a little work...simplistic, modern, white...is always a winner."

  • "Weekend getaway"

    12 December 2016

    "Thank you Gerda for a lovely weekend away! A good reprieve from the stresses of daily life. The hospitality was five star and the kids enjoyed the pool and aircon of this lovely little BNB. Beautiful scenery and close to the beach. The proximity to Beach Bums and Seabelle's restaurants was another added bonus. If your looking for affordable accommodation look no further :-)"

    23 November 2014

    "Baie dankie aan Gerda en haar man vir die fantastiese gasvryheid en vriendelikheid wat hulle aan ons verleen het terwyl ons daar gebly het! Dit was 'n baie lekker kuier en hulle het ons baie welkom laat voel! Baie dankie vir die vroeg opstaan om ons lughawe toe te neem, asook om ons winkels toe te neem vir lekker inkoopies en middag ete! Julle het uit jul pad gegaan om alles vir ons baie aangenaam te maak, vreeslik dankie daarvoor, ons sal defnitief weer daar kom bly!"

  • "Fantastic"

    16 October 2012

    "Nos hospedamos aqui porque estaba cerca del aeropuerto de Durban y nos llevamos una grata sorpresa. Las habitaciones estaban impecables, todo muy limpio y con camas comodas. Como solo estuvimos una noche no pudimos aprovechar la barbacoa y la piscina. Aprovechamos para visitar Durban, a una media hora en coche, y al día siguiente nos sirvieron un desayuno que ya quisieran para si muchos hoteles. La dueña, Gerda Kleynhans, es un encanto de mujer, simpatica, amable y muy atenta. Nos lavaron el coche por dentro y por fuera por muy poco dinero. Volvería sin dudarlo We stayed here because it was near the airport in Durban and we got a nice surprise. The rooms were spotless, all very clean and comfortable beds. As we only stayed one night we could not use the barbecue and pool. Took this opportunity to visit Durban, a half hour drive, and the next day we were served a breakfast that matched many hotels. The owner, Gerda Kleynhans, is a charming woman, sympathetic, friendly and very attentive. They washed the car inside and out for very little money. Would definitely return!"
