Fabulous place! Great location, perfect setting, stunning sea view and garden. We won't forget our delicious breakfast on the patio on Christmas morning anytime soon. Thank you to the staff for "our home from home". We will definitely be back, with our 4 legged family member soon!!!

Just wanted to let you know about the treatment received from Chartwell Guest house Umhlanga Rocks. On the website the guest house looks lovely and had very positive reviews. However when making a booking there was a problem as the days I wanted were not in the cheaper room which I preferred. Janine the owner went out of her way to organise that after getting her other bookings and making a plan I could get the room I wanted. Unexpectedly at the last minute I took ill and was unable to travel to Umhlanga. I had already paid for my few days stay. Janine once again was very understanding and paid me back in full. Next time I go to Umhlanga I will definitely stay there after the treatment I received by the owner as I'm sure she looks after all her guests very well.

We had a fantastic stay - the staff were lovely, the breakfasts were magnificent, the sea views were divine and we just loved the relaxed vibe and home from home feeling. Of course our free upgrade to the Royal Suite was an amazing surprise and very appreciated. We will definitely return. Thank you!!!!

Danke fur diesen wunderschonen Urlaub. Genau der Platz um einen erholsamen Kurzurlaub zu geniessen. Das Zimmer (5) mit seiner Aussicht und die Betten sind hervorragend. Das Fruhstuck oppulent und ausgezeichnet. Weltklasse Freundlichkeit, Hilfsbereitschaft und Zuvorkommenheit der Angestellten und des Managers Bruce. Das kleine aber sehr luxuriose Hotel ist sehr gunstig gelegen und nicht weit von Strand und allen Annehmlichkeiten in Umhlanga und Umgebung. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder. Bertold & Eva

Hi Janine, This email takes me back to the period I spent with you from early July up to the beginning of August . This was a wonderful and unforgettable time I spent at your guest house, I felt like at home. Your caring and having interest in guest is incredible. Tell Tracy that she is wonderful. Her warm hearted social contact made us to feel free and feel part of the guest house family members. Without forgetting to mention your staff members, wonderful people. I'll miss them a lot, please tell them that we will never forget their caring and kindness. Please pass my greetings to everyone and I/we hope to see you next time, probably as a bigger group than last time. Thanks a lot again, Sindile

Dear Janine and Penny (with staff), Thank you for a wonderful stay at your Guest house. We enjoyed the stay very much. Yesterday we were bathing in the Indian Ocean and today we arrived at home in Oslo with 1 meter of snow. We already long for the warmth of your weather and your hospitality. We learned alot about your changing country through several interesting conversations. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and reflections with us. The view from the porch was stunning and I will often look back on the lovely evenings I experienced with the great sea view. I hope to come back to the area within a year or two and would love to stay with you again. Again thank you for a wonderful last week of our vacation in S. Africa. Greetings, Christine Nordby, Inger and Elisabeth

Hi Janine and Family We would once again like to thank you for making our stay a such a wonderful experience. It is almost unheard of in the hospitality industry, to find people like yourselves and your super staff. You made us feel at home and part of the furniture from the minute we arrived. Your attention to detail, be it hygiene, comfort and quality of service, food and willingness to help is truly is something I/we have never experienced in some top international hotels. Your establishment was the highlight of our holliday.For this my family and I are truly grateful. Should you ever find yourselves in Mozambique our doors are always open. Regards Mario, Katia and family.
