Umthunzi Hotel & Conference
This hotel is everything and more. Firstly the staff were surpurb. They were all so friendly and accommodating. I hope the hotel owners know they lucked out with their great staff onsite. The rooms were clean and all was working nicely during our stay. Plus the views were amazing from the room as well as the restaurant. I had to save the best for last, the food. Wow the amazing dinners we had. Such great, fresh and healthy dinners. It was so great going back to the hotel to have a home cooked meal after a long day on the road. Oh and we cant forget Thunzi, the mascot. Loved his/her cuddles. Thank you again for a wonderful stay.
Sasha Smith-ThomasThank you so much for everything you did to make our management year end function a success!

RachilI stayed on the top floor of the front row of rooms – Room 12. It had a great view of the sea and dolphins in the morning. The food was outstanding and the room great. I walked to the beach twice which is just 5 minutes away. Very impressed.

Ellen HerbstI highly recommend this resort and our family will definitely be going back. It is our new ‘home away from home’ holiday destination. The sheer etiquette of staff was most courteous and accommodating with a real family feel welcome. The cooking is divine. Our room with king size bed had an absolutely breath-taking view…a most tranquil setting. Definitely a winner!
