excellent location, secure property, nice walk to the beach, clean & nice part of Zinkwazi Beach, good & safe children’s play area, okay restaurant menu with thought given to vegetarians. Brilliant 3-bed, 2-bath apartment with kitchen, in & out dining areas and balcony has Braai.
very little not liked, but the hotel needs to move from merely providing good customer service to wowing people with good experience. So little detail stuff like checking to see if the guests are honeymooners or part of a business group. Food is good, nice selection, but dishes miss that final touch. For example the proper KZN hot curry needs a cooling cucumber/yoghurt dip with it. but I’m really being picky by saying this. The only true thing that the hotel must improve is their coffee. suggest investing in a proper coffee machine, train a couple of staff to Barista level and wow people with great coffees!

The two bedroom apartment was larger than expected. We stayed in the front unit at the top level, the view of the ocean was very beautiful. We enjoyed the gas grill on the stoep. The hotel is very close to the beach with a well kept walking path through the short bush section.
Zinkwazi does not have decent shops, so come prepared with your groceries when staying in the self catering units to save yourself a 40km round trip. There are some aspects of the hotel that shows it's age, however it did not bother us two much.

The facility is fantastic, Beach access was awesome! We will be back as my family loved the venue and area, hopefully next visit will yield 5 stars and all smiles! :-)
Few cockroaches in the room, shower floor didn't drain while bathing which was a bit dangerous due to slippery floor, this is due to poor tiling. I was particularly concerned as I'm recovering from a major back injury and I'm still battling with my stability.

The apartment was excellent. The view was amazing. Short distance to the beach. Kids loved both swimming pools and the beach!! Apartment was fully air-conditioned
There was no power for most of the stay. So the generator was used most of the time. The generator ran out of diesel a lot. Which means no power & no air con. Luckily they have a gas braai for cooking + a restaurant. The generator was very noisy. Restaurant was a bit expensive.

The location is fantastic and the units are all very comfortable and well maintained. Units with ocean views are the best. Sitting on our veranda we got to watch a pod of dolphins swim past. The village of Zinkwazi has beautiful unspoilt beaches.
Although the food was all very well prepared and tasted great, I felt that for a four star hotel, the variety was lacking in the buffets. Definitely did not compare with other similarly rated hotels that I have stayed at.

Very nice spacious apartment. The proximity to the private beach is great. good furnishing and fully stocked up cutlery and crockery. the dish washer was a great touch. overall great experience would love to book again in summer.
allocate Parking’s closest to where the rooms are located. The king bed was nice and big but rock hard and uncomfortable. You can consider adding dish clothes and a mop to the apartments. the inventory list did not match the actuals, please update

The breakfast was Ok. The prices were high and at times the food arrived cold but other than that, the breakfast was fine. The location was exceptional. For such an isolated location, the establishment is missing a trick by having a good rather than exceptional kitchen.
There were renovations taking place when we were there which meant that there was some confusion with the parking arrangements. I have no doubt this will be an exceptional hotel when the renovations are done.

Beautiful, clean place. Love the private beach, rooms were clean with enough fresh, clean towels.
The food takes too long, we didn't get some of the drinks we had ordered. Change the butcher where you get the meat as the lamb and pork chops were too chewy.
