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.

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 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.

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

Each room has its own bathroom, and the house is cleaned daily by a diligent cleaner. There were water shortages, so two people cannot turn on taps in the house at the same time, but otherwise everything was fantastic.
