Mind-blowing, welcoming and safe.

Louise made sure that the house was well-prepared for us. There were two gas braai stoves and two cooking stoves (one for gas and one for electricity). The pool was clean and had a safety net for the kids. All bedrooms are equipped with working air conditioners. The housekeeper was friendly and very helpful. She made sure we understood how everything works.

Huis en fasiliteite is lieflik, alles wat nodig is en nog.

Zimbali is al vir jare 'n plek waar ek jaarliks probeer uitkom. Die sekuriteitmaatreëls by Zimbali het met hierdie afgelope besoek so toegeneem dat dit werklik onaangenaam was. Huurders se toegang word so beperk, dat van die groot voordele om Zimbali toe te kom nie meer bestaan nie. Die groot ompaaie wat gery moet word na westelike hek toe, en strandhektoegang wat weggeneem is is dealbreakers vir my wat Zimbali betref. Dit is jammer, want ek sal enige tyd weer by 13 Yellow Wood wil gaan bly, want dit is 'n fantastiese plek.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

House and facilities are lovely, everything needed and more.

Zimbali has been a place I try to get to every year for years. The security measures at Zimbali increased so much on this last visit that it was really unpleasant. Tenants' access is so restricted that some of the great advantages of coming to Zimbali no longer exist. The major detours that have to be driven to the west gate, and beach gate access being taken away are deal breakers for me as far as Zimbali is concerned. It's a shame because I'd love to stay at 13 Yellow Wood again anytime as it's a fantastic place.

Pleasant stay, house is good value for money, cleanliness can be improved.

The house is not very well maintained and cleanliness can be improved. It is very good value for money though. The Zimbali management association rules are excessive and I am not likely to stay in the estate again with a large group. It is way too restrictive. Should update description, rooms do not have king-size beds as shown on their website.

Amazing but frustrated at first with security to get in when we arrived, no respect at all and all the security just look like they don't know what they are doing and leave you to wait for hours at the gate with the rest of the people coming in frustrated from them.

Please improve on the access to the premises especially after traveling a long distance to get there. The owner of the house is the sweetest and available to assist, the house was big enough for all 14 of us and kids. I would recommend this place over and over minus the security.

The house is really beautiful but the service was horrible.

The helper was rude and didn't act like she wanted us there. Numerous times when we greet she will not respond at all. We had to use the same wet towels for 3 days because she didn't clean our rooms nor change the towels. The agent was cheeky, impatient and rude at times while we were trying to check-in. Honestly, their service was terrible. I loved the house design, the pool and all the bedrooms had balcony.

We spent a wonderful few days in this home. It had everything we needed, and ample space for all of us to relax. We hope to go back soon.

This large home can accommodate up to 12 guests and has a lovely entertainment area with a pool and sea views. There is a large interior entertainment area, and a covered patio with pool, and an additional patio at the back of the house. 6 bedrooms, all en suite, provide accommodation for a large group. This house is ideal for family groups, there is an upstairs lounge area and an additional downstairs TV lounge for the kids. The home owners were gracious hosts, and we can highly recommend a holiday at this home. We hope to be back.

13 Yellow Wood 's response

Dear Charne

Thanks for your comments regarding our holiday home and glad to hear that you have enjoyed your stay.

With regards to the cockroaches, we took the necessary precaution measures by contracting a professional pest controller at great expense to investigate and fumigate the whole premises inside and outside - all cupboards included.

After fumigation, there should have been dead cockroaches lying around but none has been found. We do not deny the fact that there could have been one or two big Durban Cockroaches flying into the house during your stay.

We are very concerned about our guests and be sure that we will monitor the situation on a continuous basis.

We trust that you will find our comments in order

Regards,

Joppie and Louise Nienaber

We had a disappointing stay. The house was full of cobwebs, there were dirty dishes packed away in the cupboards and 2 cracked glasses in the cupboard, there were no golf cart keys and no water downstairs in the 3 bedrooms.

Heerlike ruim huis wat gerieflik is vir groter groepe.

Ons is ‘n groepe vriendinne wat elke jaar Zimbali besoek en dit was ons eerste keer keer te 13 Yellow Wood en ons het dit terdeë geniet. Die huis het als wat jy nodig het en die feit dat elke kamer sy eie badkamer het, was vir seker ’n pluspunt. Ons het verkies om die gasstoof en oond te gebruik (die elektriese hob en oond het ons onder gekry) en het veral elke oggend se pragtige sonsopkoms en die mooi see-uitsig vanaf die ruim balkon waardeer.

We are a group of friends who visit Zimbali every year and it was our first time at 13 Yellow Wood and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The house has everything you need and the fact that each room has its own bathroom was definitely a plus. We chose to use the gas stove and oven (we got the electric hob and oven downstairs) and especially appreciated each morning's beautiful sunrise and the beautiful sea view from the spacious balcony.

Baie lekker gekuier in die pragtige huis.

Die netheid kan verbeter. Die werker nie baie deeglik en vriendelik nie. Die oprit is 'n groot probleem. Al die kamers moet spieëltafel kry om hare en grimering by te doen. Verder is alles perfek. Lieflike omgewing en pragtige uitsig. Goeie waarde vir geld.

Full marks to the hosts Joppie and Louise - very friendly, polite and accommodating.13 Yellow Wood is a fantastic 6 bedroom, fully equipped house, ideal for large group/family. We were 5 families staying and all of us without any second thought wanted to stay for long as we felt staying 3 nights weas short. Zimbali Estate is "the" place to be with good facility for kids and adults. Will definitely recommend this to friends and come back again!

Fantastic place to stay with easy access to facilities (internal and external).

Our September visit was a joint birthday party (60 and 68 years) with family coming to Zimbali from South Africa, London and Australia. A great time was had by all and it was so refreshing not to be overtly concerned about safety and security during our stay. The accommodation was 'spot on' for our requirements and a specific and non-negotiable request for pool netting was addressed prior to our arrival ( a 3-year old being part of the gathering!).

Spesiale familie-vakansie met die mooiste uitsig in 'n veilige vakansiehuis!

Ons het 'n heerlike tyd saam met ons familie in Suid-Afrika gehad. Die huis is pragtig met 'n pragtige uitsig. Ons het uitgerus gevoel na die 7 dae. Die bediende was uitstekend en Louise (eienaar) so dierbaar met kommunikasie. Ons sal definitief weer LekkeSlaap kontak as ons 'n vakansie in Suid-Afrika beplan. Weereens dankie. PS: Die enigste terugvoering wat ons sou wou gee is dat 'n nommer "13" nodig is onder in die straat. Ons het donker daar aangekom en nogal gesukkel om die huis te kry. Dankie!

PS: The only feedback we would like to give is that a number "13" is needed down the street. We got there after dark and had quite a bit of trouble finding the house. Thank you!

13 Yellow Wood 's response

Dear Tanya,

Your review on our establishment refers.

I have personally inspected 13 Yellow Wood before your arrival. Everything from the garage to the top floor was spotless. We offered you a 60 piec,e full Noritake dinner set and an additional dinner set (no chips at all), only 2 coffee mugs were chipped and has been replaced; A beautiful kitchen with Smeg appliances - everything inspected by me and clean; 2 lounge suites in living area, genuine leather, and in excellent condition. One corner unit under the staircase - the supporting spring came loose. We are aware of this will attend to it asap. The bedrooms: furniture, linen in top quality. No dirty bathrooms or tubs.

You have exceeded the number of guests allowed, which you have not appreciated, at no additional charge - 12 adults, 5 children (maximum permissible guests 12).
You unneccessarily criticised a friendly, hardworking and helpful person, 6 years in my service, and always available to help guests.
Please revert to all the good reviews on TravelGround's website regarding her excellent service. Nobody in this world is perfect.

Kind Regards,
Louise Nienaber

Uitstekende geriewe, vriendelike diens, pragtige huis.

Ons het wonderlik gebly by 13 Yellow Wood. Kort stapafstand van die Fairmont Hotel se swembaddens, restaurante en spa af - of neem sommer die gholfkarretjie. Elke kamer het sy eie badkamer, en die huis word daagliks skoongemaak deur 'n flink skoonmaker. Daar was watertekorte, so twee mense kan nie gelyk krane oopdraai in die huis nie, maar verder was alles fantasties.

There were water shortages, so two people cannot turn on taps in the house at the same time, but otherwise everything was fantastic.

We were a little disappointed, as the pictures did not show exact location in Zimbali Estate. Just a small detail, when on holiday, it is not always a good idea to have housekeeping arriving at 07:40 everyday and then leaving before lunch. We weren't able to lie in on holiday.

Very nice house, but not set up for power cuts and water rations. Zimbali speed limit too slow.

Very nice house, but the power cuts and water restrictions were not enjoyable and I got 2 traffic fines for going 35km in a 25km zone, very frustrating. If you like a very controlled environment then it's ok. The golf cart was great for the kids, if you don't play golf, there's really no point going to Zimbali.
