The views were just awesome! Beautiful property with gorgeous sights from every angle! The majority of the staff were friendly and attentive! The male staff kept the boys entertained and even played soccer with them. The cleaning ladies were wonderful and left the rooms in tip top condition. We had lots of water in the room. The rooms were neat and comfortable. Everything was neat and in working order which made our stay great. The owners were friendly enough and had the friendlies little boy there to play with my boys which was nice. The lady owner was kind enough to borrow me her laptop charger which I really appreciated! She offered us some entertainment for the kids in the area as she was aware that there is not much for the kids to do. The evenings were great as there were no crowds in the restaurant. The property is in a safe area and also well maintained.

They were not flexible with my request. My booking included breakfast because of the kids. I did inform that I personally do not eat breakfast and would like them to transfer the fee to a lunch or dinner voucher which are meals that I do take. This request was not entertained. Also, the owners spend all their time in the restaurant or around working. I found this to be very awkward, as if we were being watched. Maybe a back office for the owners would be great so that they are not always in the guests faces like the whole time. I mean they already have the Manager and the Finance lady sitting at the front desk so to have the owners there as well was awkward.

I enjoyed so many things about my stay here! North Star is a great balance between vibey and peaceful; not too big, not too small; not too simple, not too fancy! I've stayed here before and this is now my go-to venue for visits to Umhlanga / Durban-North. The pool and bar area are very inviting as are the gardens - for me the place is more beautiful than the website photos show. I loved the upstairs rooms - the views are wonderful. Service was great, and the place is fresh and clean. Much love and care invested in the venue. Easy access to highways and many parts of Durban, and great beach access.

Nothing - everything was as we had hoped for! Thank you.

Just a few metres from the beach, this accommodation offers the perfect blend of luxury and relaxation. The decor is absolutely stunning—modern yet warm, with thoughtful details that create an inviting and stylish atmosphere. After a long day of sun and sea, sinking into the plush, perfectly cushioned bed was a dream come true. It’s the kind of place where you wake up feeling refreshed. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and always ready with a smile.

Because i booked for one person only, my room was quite small with no desk to work from.

The design of this place has put the guest first, very well thought out. The location has spectacular views, quite literally on the beach. Very friendly staff. Hot chocolate was lovely and the breakfast was delicious.

Only one welcome piece of cake in a room booked for two... The peaks of the covering in the garden partially block the view from the first floor bedroom. There was no hot water for shower or bath in the morning and a leak appeared in the middle of the floor.

The location is fabulous with direct access to the beach and shopping nearby. Staff arranged a shuttle from Durban airport to the hotel. Spacious rooms with large windows facing the ocean. Clean, extremely comfortable beds. Friendly and helpful staff. Evening room service and breakfast meals were very good. Indoor and outdoor dining with nice club music.

We would stay at the hotel again. Just passing along some info. There is no front desk as this is a boutique hotel. The phone service was not good with static or lack of volume. This was troublesome when confirming the shuttle and sorting out a lost luggage issue. This was the case with European cell service to the hotel and local cell phone service to a local landline. There might be a business office, but after waiting 10+ minutes for someone to give us access, we had to leave. Can hear people speaking in the hall.

Beautiful rooms with views, literally on the beach, nice swimming pool, great food (breakfast and dinner), easily accessible and safe.

Reception/ manager states breakfast to be from 7:00, but kitchen is only ready at 7:30 that resulted in us missing one morning's breakfast. Miscommunication between staff, it seems.

Location and the view were amazing. The staff were very friendly and the breakfast was delicious.

The safe didn't work properly, but we made a plan and got the key. The wi-fi was a little buggy and didn't always work in the rooms. The rooms are a little small for 2 people with very large luggage and the bath is great but being in the middle of the room it takes up a lot of space.

What an amazing hotel! I booked the room very last minute before hopping in the car. The staff was very nice to confirm with me when I was in a hurry that I could check in after 9pm. The room was well set, spacious and clean. Hairdryer, water, coffee machine and coffee capsules available in the room. Cant ask more than that in a busy work trip but this hotel is actually great for holidays. It’s right on a beach but not in the busy spots. Breakfast was delicious and I really love all the friendly staff there. Would definitely like to return for a holiday.

Very friendly service. Beautiful views and beach access. The place is clean and well maintained. Bedrooms are very comfortable. Loved everything and will be back next month! So enjoyed the beach dining - dinner so close to the ocean - very peaceful too.

Everything was great and enjoyable - thanks.

Lovely small property right on the beach with resort feel, brilliant staff, close to Umhlanga centre, great spacious rooms, quiet environment, good food, a real hidden gem!

Nothing at all, great place, would definitely stay here again
