    Exceptional value for money. Extremely pet friendly as we had our own courtyard for the dogs. Very secure property in a good location. The fans in the flatlet were a massive plus during a KZN heatwave :D

    Perfect location - private accommodation in a family yard. Quite and relaxing. The hosts were great and we were met at the accommodation for keys and a run down of facilities.

    I was welcomed by kids, I was driving and not sure of the gate. They were playing and the little girl asked if I was their guest, and said yes. She pointed me to the gate. I was so lovely and that was one of my highlights. I was home away from home

We have a lovely large property with a garden flat which is fenced off from the house providing privacy for our guests. It consists of a bedroom, separate lounge, kitchenette and bathroom (Shower, basin, toilet). The kitchenette is equipped with crockery, cutlery, microwave, kettle and fridge. Complementary tea and coffee are provided. The garden flat has a separate entrance with a lovely garden area with secure parking behind a remote controlled gate. Guest are provided with a remote for the gate giving them the ability to come and go as needed. A Full DSTV bouquet is available for your viewing pleasure.
We are a couple with a young family and have lived in Empangeni all our lives. We are thrilled to have a place of our own now. We both enjoy meeting new people and renting out our garden flat is a way of doing this.
Our neighbourhood is quiet and safe. Shops and restaurants are in close proximity. Richards Bay with its beaches and large shopping mall are about 20min away. Amongst places to visit are game reserves to the north, Mtunzini, a picturesque seaside village with a nature reserve to the south. Eshowe to the west has many historical sites to visit as well as an aerial boardwalk through the Dlinza forest canopy.
