Gasvry, vriendelik, netjies en alles wat mens nodig het.

Dit is 'n wonderlike plek met gasvryheid van elke persoon. Happy het uit sy pad gegaan om te verseker dat ek i.p.v. 'n ontbyt wat ek ongelukkig nie kon bywoon nie, 'n pakkie met kos gehad het. Dit is absoluut 'n wonderlike plek en ek gaan binnekort weer daarheen.

Hospitable, friendly, tidy and everything you need.

It is a wonderful place with hospitality from every person. Happy went out of his way to ensure that I instead a breakfast which unfortunately I could not attend, had a package with food. It's an absolutely amazing place and I'll be going there again soon.

Convenient, excellent with the solar and perfect location close to where I needed to be.

Because of my travelling arrangements, the host made sure I could have the room before the check-in time. The staff was so helpful, showing me how the fan & aircon etc worked. The guest house is close to the promenade for a nice walk the next morning. The room was very clean and neat, and the honesty fridge was a nice touch to get something to drink later that night. Breakfast was nice, and they accommodated me with my allergies to make it perfect for me. Thanks to the staff!

The employees were very friendly and helpful.

The room was very spacious. The guest house was conveniently located in Umhlanga. Close enough to everything but not close enough to be disturbed by the noise of the city. My only recommendation would be the following: It was very hot when I was there and the fruit salad and yoghurt were at room temperature which made me nervous to eat as this can go off in heat. Another positive was that they have cold water that can be decanted at any time which was very useful in the heat.

Besigheidsreis na Durban. Het net oornagfasiliteit benodig.

Vriendelik ontvang deur Richard. Kamer 7 was voldoende vir oornag vir ’n enkelpersoon. Die badkamer is voldoende maar nie ruim nie. Internet is goed. Sou nie aanbeveel vir langer verblyf nie.

It was a good experience overall, but I would not say it's worth the given rates.

We commend the staff for being helpful and accommodating. We enjoyed the dynamics of the room, having a tub in the room was a different experience. We enjoyed the ocean view. The stairway around the pool is dangerous and awkward to walk around. The pool was not cleaned for the duration of our stay- I guess this is because it's winter, but the pictures online are deceiving. There was no signage outside the guesthouse apart from the unit number. The driveway is also very awkward.

Baie geniet was in 2 suites wat heeltemal apart was wat dit baie maklik gemaak het met twee woelige kleutertjies.

Die huis en suites was baie netjies, skoon en gerieflik en kindervriendelik. Kon geen fout vind met die plekkie of ontbyt nie.

Very pleasant stay. Water in front of door - could not get out due to heavy rain. Check downpipe not flowing in drain which caused flooding.

The stay was very pleasant. Everything was in order and the reception was friendly and procedures were clearly explained. Noise by the staff in the back of the room was a bit irritating early in the mornings. All in all very enjoyable.

Chartwell Guest House 's response

Dear Boela,
Thank you for your positive review. Unfortunately you stayed in KZN when most experienced extremely severe flooding. The drainage at Chartwell Guest House usually works perfectly but unfortunately when there is severe flooding no system works perfectly and thus a large puddle accumulated on the driveway. We were very fortunate to get off so lightly.
