"I recently stayed at Blue Marlin Hotel and had an amazing experience! The staff were friendly and welcoming, the room and food was perfect, and the amenities were top-notch. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great place to stay. I am giving it 10 stars. Problem is Uber & Bolt but you can arrange transport with the hotel to move around."

"We were booked into room 214, adjacent to a stairwell just above the bar. It was worse than a shabeen.......drunken people up and down the stairs till 11:30. I would advise that you rather sleep on the beach than stay at the Cutty Sark. Not a place for families or for a quiet get away. A total waste of money."

"I have stayed here since 2021, during covid. There has been no updates of the bathrooms to date, noted mould buildup in the bathrooms. Breakfast was aweful, the sausages has no taste. Breakfast menu has been cut down considerably."

"The overall service was great. We loved the old style property with teak ceiling beams and yellow wood flooring. We loved the old furniture. The breakfast sped was extremely good. The room we had was spacious and with an air conditioner. A well stocked and reasonably priced bar fridge was a treat. As outdoor people, the Umdoni forest trails were what made our visit worthwhile. Local restaurants did us proud. Umdoni GC and Penn valley Golf Estate. We will be back again. "

"The hotel is very nice and breakfast was great. Love the beach."

"We had an amazing time at The View Boutique with our 2 kids . The staff were absolutely fantastic. Really took amazing care of us and made sure everything was as comfortable as possible. The view of the ocean is absolutely phenomenal. The whole venue is full of big windows so that the view does not go amiss. The spa and the food was also amazing! Highly recommend for an amazing spoil ."

"My stay was incredibly fun. I had a great time. The Lantern had great service as well. Enjoyed the omelette at breakfast, a big thanks to the chef. The staff, super great! Lunch packs were also prepared well. Definitely coming again."

"This gorgeous historical place in Umtentweni, KZN is very private and you can recharge your soul. The English Breakfast was amazing, the pool is gorgeous and the surroundings (birdlife) and the walk on the property created memories we will enjoy for years to come. The owner Ria, receptionist Veronica, caretaker and the kitchen staff were all professional and made us feel like family. We will book again. "

"Jane, the owner, was warm, friendly and helpful. I was travelling with my two sons, and phoned her directly late in the morning to enquire about accommodation that evening. I was flustered; she was calm. Come, she said. And so we did. And it was very, very good to arrive somewhere, knowing it was a good part of Kloof, and be met by the actual owner, and shown to our rooms. I wasn't asked to pay before we arrived which annoys the heck out of me. We booked the old fashioned way. Phone, book, pay on arrival. And this is pertinent for most establishments nowadays - get over yourselves. Old school is always best. And Jane knows this, and puts it into practice. The breakfast was excellent, too. Nice linen on the beds and, a welcome sherry to sip on as you arrive after a long journey. We were super comfortable. I could go on all day but know this: if you are looking for somewhere lovely to stay in Kloof, in quiet Kloof, Lemon Tree B&B is amazing. You should go!"
