This is our second stay at Sandals and it felt like revisiting friends. Iain and Ingrid's warmth and informal yet professional approach is pretty unique. The guesthouse is immaculate and the proximity to the village meant we could walk to dinner or the local shops quite easily. Breakfasts are a treat with something different on offer every morning of our five day stay- Ingrid and Lulu certainly have this taped! We hope to return to Samdals in 2015 and catch up with Iain and Ingrid over a welcome drink.

I have to say that in all the different places we stayed in SA Sandals was by far and away the most desirable and the service from Lulu and the girls was second to none. Iain and Ingrid should be well proud of what they have achieved with their guest house and I reckon the excellent star rating is no more than is deserved. So, on behalf of Debra, Brian, Grace and myself I'd just like to say a huge thank you to you all for making our last week in SA such a truly memorable experience and when we return in the future, and we will, we'll be sure to give you a bell Iain. Cheers Stan

Sandals is the only guesthouse that we know in South Africa that has a 5 star rating - and it deserves every one of them! Having lived and taken holidays all over the world, our recent trip to KZN and, in particular, our 6 nights at Sandals stands out as being one of the very best! The quality of accommodation, great breakfasts(!) and the generous hospitality are a credit to Iain & Ingrid and all their staff. Iain, many thanks also for helping us with your suggestions (and arrangements) on places to visit around KZN. Your guided tour to Phezulu Cultural village was excellent. The drive through Durban and up to the Valley of 1000 Hills was a very pleasant, relaxed and informative introduction to the region. And the Zulu village tour was, again, most informative and very well presented by the excellent hosts. We hope to visit you again - and again. Very many thanks. John and Elaine

Dear Ingrid and Iain We arrived here last week and can proudly say that as we depart today, we feel part of the Sandals family. We certainly had a wonderful stay. The hospitality was out of this world. We felt that Sandals was a home away from home. We will miss you, the "night caps" that ended up being longer than antciipated at the bar. There is some thing that makes Sandals feel like home instead of a guest house - it is your warmth, your commitment to service and the pride you take in "labour of love". It is unmatched!
