          2 of 2 stays for the period”

          This is one of The Best Hosted B&B’s i’ve stayed at when I stay in Umhlanga. This is my 3rd stay in the last few years but my fiance’s 1st & she now understands why. Heather & Bob are superb & it shines through in their & their staff’s hospitality skills which they have been honing for the last 27yrs. Passion, service, warmth & delightful daily personalized breakfasts are what one can come to expect. The accommodations are vintaged but provides what is needed & the location is perfectly nestled between upper & lower Umhlanga and the exits to the North & South Coasts. For comfort, convenience & a bit of nostalgia, I strongly recommend the lodgings & it will always be my 1st choice when visiting that part of the world again.

          Homely Place, Would Recommend to Friends”

          We loved our stay at the Honey Pot. Owners and staff were very friendly. Rooms were clean and cosy. Breakfast was very good 3 star standard. Table settings presented with love. Didn't have to share a communal breakfast table as with some B&B's (I appreciate this as my hubby and I sometimes find this a bit awkward), but if you prefer to chat to other guests you can as we were all seated in a communal dining room. We were able to walk to the beach, however website pics may suggest beach is a little closer.

          Near enough to everything yet far enough away from crowds and noise. Close to airport, beach, tourist destinations and the largest shopping mall in the Southern Hemisphere. Loved my hosts and four-foot friends, the dawn chorus outside my door, the privacy of my room and the spread for breakfast was amazing. Thank you Heather and Bob and all staff members who made my stay (too short) so lovely. God bless Mary (21&22/03/2020
