We had a wonderful experience! The host was delightful and provided excellent options for dining out. The complimentary snacks were a lovely gesture that added a personal touch to our stay. On top of that, the room was pristine, beautifully decorated, and smelled amazing.

The communication with the host Anika und her father Johan was perfect from the beginning. Within our arrival to the gate of the Private Reserve Johan was there to open for us. It was a bit like a scene from Jurassic Park movie (minus the Dinos): we drove through the gate and before our eyes opened a landscape with rolling green meadows, interspersed with large acacia and Mopane trees, teeming with free roaming wildlife such as Impala, Kudu, Eland, Zebra, Warthog, Bushbuck, even Giraffes and countless bird species. We were speechless. The room we booked turned out to be an entire 2 story house with full fledged kitchen, several bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, a large living room and a very nice patio with sun lounges. Wildlife visits the terrace frequently and it is very safe to watch them. During a game drive the first day we got stuck with our car! Anika and Johan answered our call for assistance and Willy provided instant help pulling us out using his Landrover working horse. Willy invited us for a game drive the next day and shared his vast knowledge about the hidden gems of the Reserve. As a surprise he stopped at a little river and cooked a typical South African Braai (barbeque) with Ribeye steak and incredibly flavored "boerwoers". Breakfast is freshly prepared every morning a few miles down the road at their restaurant "The Farmers Fork" and leaves nothing to wish for.

Great location, close to shopping centres but the neighbourhood is still quiet and peaceful enough. The guesthouse is clean and has all the necessary facilities. We checked in late at night but was still receiving well by staff. Upon arrival we appreciated a nice hot shower, the coffee/tea set up on the rooms, and had a good rest after a long day of travelling on the comfy bed with clean linen. Looks better than the pictures. Exceeding all expectations

We had a great stay for 3 nights at the guesthouse. Jacky was a great host and a lovely person. She gave us some nice recommendations for things to do around Drakensbergen. We also had a really nice massage from her daughter Nicola, after two days of hiking.

beautiful and very relaxing location. the host was very warm, welcoming and caring. Hearty breakfast every morning accompanied by seasonal fruits. Magnificent view of the sea from the terrace or bedroom balconies. I highly recommend this guest house if you want to spend quality time in peace and quiet in Durban. See you again very soon

My stay at Zuider Zee Guesthouse in Salt Rock was amazing! Gavin, the host, was incredibly kind, helpful, friendly and organized. The place was safe, neat, tidy, super clean and cozy, and it's in a great location. I felt safe and cared for the whole time, and Gavin even made sure I got in okay when my flight was delayed. Can't wait to stay here again next time I'm in Salt Rock!

Andre is a great host, very friendly and welcoming. We had a lovely stay, comfortable and quiet, great value for money, and we even saw some hippos right on the street in front of his house at night. Fantastic experience. We will be back for sure!

Great location. Clean and well looked after. Great hosts. Room was big enough for a blow up mattress for our toddler which the hosts provided. Also had a nice and spacious bathroom. Pool was also clean and we enjoyed many swims. Felt safe and peaceful... nothing was stressful about this holiday.

Everything. Marlize was a wonderful host who really helped us organize everything we needed for our stay including helping us book some activities. The guest house is stunning, very clean and quiet but is still very close to everything that we needed. We will definitely be back next time we are in St Lucia.
