The hosts here are fantastic, friendly, helpful and go the extra mile to make you feel at home. Good breakfasts, easy walk to the beach (taxi back though as very steep roads!) . We had a great stay and would thoroughly recommend.

Highly Recommended - Wonderful Hospitality

This place was perfect. More than I expected. The hosts were so wonderful and welcoming. They also offered some recommendations on things to do in the area. The space itself was comfortable and so nice to hang out. I had to make myself leave because I was so happy there. There is a bar, couches with a fireplace, a cabana type area, a pool, and the breakfast and the breakfast area was so cute as well. I highly recommend this place. It gives the warm feeling of a happy home as opposed to staying in a hotel where you can never find this type of warmth.

Delightful, comfortable, clean guest houses

HoneyPot guest house is a dream location with a separate porch for each guest room, lovely honey-scented bath soaps, and a pool and garden pathway. The space is gated and guarded and feels peaceful and secluded though it is close to malls and airport.

We were only there for one night.

The hosts were very friendly and welcoming and the room was very comfortable.

The only problem was a security light that came on outside the window and lit up the room a bit during the night. I am sure though that had we been staying an extra night the hosts would have sorted this out.

We had a trailer which we were able to park in a secure parking area and Rob helped with hitching and unhitching it which was very kind.

The location was very central to restuarants shopping centres and the beach.

I would certainly go back there. The breakfast was excellent!

Great birthday treat in Umhlanga

I arranged a trip to Umhlanga with my folks for my Mum's birthday and our stay at the Honeypot was perfect - the location was a very short drive to the promenade and beach for walks and swimming in the sea and also very close to numerous great restaurants. The accommodation was top class, very clean with all the amenities you could ask for, gracious hosts and a really fabulous breakfast. Thank you for a memorable stay!
