Pure bliss—perfect location, impeccable service, and unforgettable views! ️️️️️. Absolutely perfect stay! From check-in to check-out, everything was seamless. The staff went above and beyond, the room was spotless, and the ocean views were breathtaking. Will definitely be back!

Very friendly service. Staff goes out of their way to make everything comfortable. I will definitely book with them again. The view is beautiful and the place is very neat and clean.

Baie vriendelike diens. Personeel gaan uit hul pad uit om alles gemaklik te maak. Ek sal vir seker weer by hulle boek. Die view is pragtig en die plek is baie netjies en skoon.

Good value but location is 50/50. Hi the place is half built, in an area which I didn't feel particularly safe in. However the room was clean and everything was provided. However fittings are cheap and tacky.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we're glad to hear the room was clean and well-stocked. We do respectfully disagree with the characterisation of our fittings as 'cheap and tacky.' Waves Beach King Shaka offers direct access to a private beach, fully ocean-facing rooms with uninterrupted sea views, a large rock pool, Japanese floating beds, granite countertops, massage showers, a 43" Smart TV in every room, air conditioning throughout, and a double-volume entrance set within lush, landscaped gardens — all at exceptional value for what we provide. We believe our guests consistently find that the experience far exceeds the price point. Regarding the construction activity you noticed: we are actively expanding our property in direct response to high demand. This is communicated clearly at the time of booking, and we work carefully to ensure that no ongoing works affect the comfort or experience of our guests in any way.

Our stay was satisfactory despite no air con in our room. Lovely entrance hall and modern decor, and it has potential. The hotel was actually pleasant, the cleaning staff were very friendly, the pool was very nice, but the main family room we stayed in with our children (closer to the pool side - not facing the ocean) didn’t have an air conditioner! Unfortunately, this affected our experience negatively. An air con in a room like that is a non-negotiable. It was like a sauna. The mobile air cooler that the owner provided made no difference. The space of the family unit was good even though we all slept in the lounge in order to benefit from the air con from the other bedroom. There was not enough crockery: no tin can opener, not enough sharp knives, no colander, no braai tongs, and no kettle that plugged into the wall. The bathrooms were very good except for rotten wood under the sinks (both rooms). The bin area in the kitchen - the wooden section fell apart. There was a cracked glass coffee table when we arrived. The driveway was very steep and scratched my husband’s car. WiFi was intermittent and needs a booster.

We are glad you found the hotel pleasant, enjoyed the pool, and experienced friendly service from our cleaning staff. For clarity, we were very clear about one of the units having air conditioning while the other having a fan prior to your booking, which was disclosed prior to arrival. Nonetheless, we still provided an air cooler, a baby cot, and responded to numerous additional requests throughout your stay. Our staff also went well beyond their normal self-catering duties to clean the unit during your entire stay, despite this not being part of standard service. We further accommodated an early check-in, even though our policy clearly states check-in is from 2:00 PM. While we always aim to please, it is not always possible to meet every expectation, even when significant effort is made. We appreciate the feedback and wish you all the best going forward.

Weak. Not at all. Place is still under construction. No cafe or place to buy anything. Lots of clutter.

Swak. Glad nie. Plek is nog in aanbou. Geen kafee of plek om iets aan te koop. Baie rommel.

We are genuinely puzzled by this review, as the overwhelming majority of our guests highlight exactly the opposite — beautiful, spacious, spotlessly clean rooms with incredible ocean views and outstanding value. Regarding refreshments — every room comes with complimentary coffee and tea, and all guests have full access to our communal kitchen. Additionally, just two doors down sits a lovely beachfront café that all our guests are welcome to enjoy. This information is available to guests, and we are sorry if it was not utilised during your stay. Our expansion is clearly communicated prior to booking, and guests who have concerns about ongoing development are always welcome to reconsider their booking before arrival. We respect that this property may not suit every traveller. What we do find disappointing is that both our manager and caretaker were directly accessible throughout your stay. Any concerns could — and should — have been raised with them immediately, giving us the opportunity to resolve the matter for you. Choosing not to communicate and instead posting online does not give us a fair chance to respond in real time. We wish you well and hope you find a property that better suits your expectations.
