Family road trip.
Ideal for an overnight stop or a few days stay. No direct access to the beach. DStv didn't work, but that's not important. Michelle is very friendly and helpful.

Our visit was short, but we will definitely see each other again soon.
Lovely place with a stunning view, while you can enjoy a nice snack, light a fire and look straight out at the sea.

Friendly, neat and good service.
All negative comments are that I required or so to speak chose the place, because there was an air conditioner in the room. On arrival we were told the air conditioner has not worked for years, so I feel it's false advertising. I have a medical condition where I have to have cold air on me all the time. I had to apply for 2 fans just to keep my condition under control - something the website can look into.

Good day
We are not a self catering establishment.
We supply a braai area for the guests, utensils would have been supplied on request if you did not bring your own.
We were not informed of your intensions to have a braai.
Crockery and cutlery was supplied in your room for your convenience which was sufficient for dinner and breakfast.
Some rooms have air conditioners and others have fans.
The room you booked was fitted with a fan.
It is unfortunate that we were not able to fulfill your requirements.
Perhaps a self catering establishment would have been a better option for you.
Kind regards
Gail

Profit is more important than customer service.
Booked a room with a sea view. This is what we got but unfortunately not a view that can be enjoyed. The room is patched up. The ceiling is very low and there is very little ventilation. The bathroom doesn't have a door but a curtain, after 31 years I still don't want to share my bathroom sounds with my wife. The communal braai facilities are also right in front of the door which means there is no privacy, someone sitting and braai is literally sitting in your door m. a. w. the sea 'view' you paid for is now basically a view of a strange person having a barbecue. Sitting outside at a table is also not possible unless you don't care about mess falling on you through the wooden deck above, it's not a leaf floating in your drink, it's the guy walking on the deck's foot mold. They advertise wifi but according to them there isn't, the network is visible. They also no longer serve breakfast due to covid but the fact and also that they don't have wifi makes no difference to the price, you just get less for the same price. Profiteering at its maximum. Definitely will not return there again.

Nice stay except for the air-conditioner not working in the room, we were also not offered a choice for another room with cooling.
It was very hot. The lady put us an extra fan in the room. The location of the accommodation is perfect. The sheet metal is neat and apart from the radiator there are no faults.

The entrance to the guest house is terribly dangerous. You stand halfway in the middle of the road to enter, then you still have to get out to press the intercom. Very dangerous.

Hi daar
Dankie dat U by ons oorgebly het. Volgens die betaling was die kamer vir R800 dit is net vir kamer alleen, ontbyt is R80 per kop, en moet vooraf gereel word. Dit was vanselfsprekend dat U nie ontbyt ontvang het nie,
Jammer vir die misverstand maar dit staan so op ons besprekings platform. Ons het U ook toegelaat om 4 ure voor die tyd in te boek sonderextra kostes Boek in tyd is vanaf 2 uur af

Good day.
As to the aircon, we did inform you about the remote, we also got a new universal one from the people who serviced the aircon as it was stolen, but you had a 6 sleeper 2 bedroomed unit and the other big room had an aircon which worked. As to the breakfast on the 2nd morning, if you read the rules breakfast is served from 8 am.
You also had a visitor at 6.45 am in the morning ringing the bell continuously after answering it. I was in the shower. I wasn't even greeted, I was just told that his brother is staying here.
Also, you actually offered to google the remote as you said it needed a password. Apologies if you feel that way.
Happy New Year

Very nice.
The Sandcastle Guest House is located in a fairly quiet part of Amanzimtoti. The rooms are neat and clean. Customer service excellent. The guesthouse has a beautiful view of the ocean. Parking is limited and might be a problem when the guesthouse is fully booked. Breakfast is served in a coffee shop across the road. The guesthouse does not offer direct access to the beach (you have to drive at least 2 km to reach the nearest beach).
