Honeypot is in a quiet and very beautiful neighborhood,the property itself was a harmonious blend of nature and man. Beautifully laid out,lovely gardens,warm and genuinely welcoming staff and more. Bob owns and lives on the property,he was a gracious host and he didn’t hesitate to share his knowledge every time I called on him. He is a lively 80 year old man with a lovely dog that adores him, I will look forward to seeing him again the next time I am in Umhlanga. I cannot but mention the monkeys that came around just as I was checking out,they were the icing on a beautiful cake. The fact the beach is a walking distance from the property is also a big deal. In summary,HoneyPot felt like home.
Absolutely nothing.

The location is excellent if you need to do things in Umhlanga. The bed was comfortable and there was attention to detail with little things like earbuds and headache tablets provided.
The whole ambience of the place would be improved with just a little bit of a touch up of the paint.

Location was good and staff are always on hand for anything i needed. Breakfast was always good.Safe and all you need.
Furnature is a bit dated and rooms need an upgrade but good value for money.Parking a bit tight but manageable.

The bed was absolutely comfortable. The warm welcoming from Bob. The area was amazing, quiet and peaceful. There was a little box with earbuds, pain killers and plasters which was really thoughtful The pool area was kept really neat and had board games. Loved our stay will definitely be returning ;)

The staff is extremely friendly.
No mosquito repellent in a heavily mosquito populated area. The water in the fridge was not fit for drinking. It had algae.

I really loved the location, and my huge bed and mostly the guy who helped me from the reception was really really helpful he's a very nice gentleman.

It is a clean and beautiful property. The staff are so friendly and the service is good. Would recommend!
There must be a little more attention to detail e.g. all empty condiments should be taken away from breakfast area.
