Ek reis gereeld vir werk en sal weer by Kites View Bed and Breakfast bly.

Irene was 'n fantastiese gasvrou en het uit haar pad gegaan om in al my behoeftes te voorsien en het self opgevolg om te hoor of ek veilig is.

Baie lekker gekuier. Sal dit aanbeveel by vriende.

Ons het baie lekker gekuier. Die ontbyt was goed voorberei en afgewissel. Gelukkig het ons 'n GPS, want dit is nie die maklikste plek om te ry nie. Ons was baie verbaas om te sien hoe skoon en netjies die hele KZN is. Daar lê nie papiek en plaskiek sakke die hele wêreld vol nie.

Die diens was ongelooflik en die plek was presies soos dit beskryf was op die webtuiste. Kathy (eienaar) het ongelooflik baie moeite gedoen om ons tuis te laat voel. Die lekkerste ontbyt is ook elke oggend deur Nomsa voorberei. Dit was definitief waarde vir geld en sal vir seker weer terug gaan.

Die hele atmosfeer skep die gevoel van jy sal waarde vir jou geld en tyd gespandeer, kry. Vanaf die ontvangs tot vertrek het ek gemaklik, maar nie oorweldig gevoel nie. Sal vir seker die plek aanbeveel (beslis nie net oor die uitsig vanaf die boonste kamers nie).

The whole atmosphere creates the feeling that you will get value for your money and time spent. From reception to departure I felt comfortable but not overwhelmed. Would definitely recommend the place (definitely not just the view from the upper rooms).

Gasvrye ontvangs met mooiste uitsig!

Gasvrye ontvangs! Kamer was gerieflik en netjies en het die mooiste uitsig die oggend gebied. Niks was te veel moeite vir die gasheer en -vrou nie. Ek sal beslis weer van hulle B&B gebruik maak.

Beautiful location with considerate staff.

I stayed at Kites View B&B over the weekend of the 6th to 8th of September 2019 while attending a course. The host is a wonderful, hospitable, friendly and welcoming lady (Kathy) who checks you in and sees that you're well taken care of. The rooms are spacious, clean, well decorated and kept. It was always clean and smelt good with the added humidifier. There are extra blankets for the cold seasons, an air con and a fan making your stay super comfy and relaxed. There are awesome sea views from the property and it is close to various shops, restaurants and the beach. Kathy was nice enough to direct me to all the local spots and also directed me in and out of the driveway; it is steep and there isn't a lot of space but you can definitely manage a few manoevers in there. The breakfasts were tasty and filling, plenty to go around as there are extra cereals, yogurts, muffins, etc. Really awesome stay and would recommend it to anyone wanting to spend some time in Umhlanga.

Goeiedag Wimpie,

Baie dankie vir die terugvoering.
Ons allokeer parkeering spesifiek vir die groot voertuie. Dit gebeur soms waar gaste nie in the geallokeerde parkeering parkeer nie, en dit veroorsaak ongerief vir almal.
Oor die algemeen, as gaste in die geallokeerde parkeer plek parkeer is dit selde 'n probleem.
Ons is jammer vir die ongerief en sien uit daarna om julle in toekoms weer te sien.

Vriendelike Groete,
Geoff en Kathy

Verrassend, veilig en vriendelik.

Kites View Bed & Breakfast het my aangenaam verras. Ek was daar as 'n enkelreisiger wat net die aand moes oornag. Die plek het alles gehad wat ek benodig het. Ek kon my voertuig oornag los agter 'n sluitbare hek en hulle het my ook van 'n afstandbeheer voorsien sodat ek op my eie daar kon in- en uitgaan. Ek moes die oggend vroeg wegkom en hulle was bereid om vir my ontbyt te gee teen 06:30 die oggend, selfs al is hulle amptelike tyd eers 07:00. Dit was 'n groot ontbyt wat bestaan het uit spek, eiers, tee, vrugtesap ens. Die plek het 'n baie mooi uitsig. Die plek waar ek oornag het, het sy eie stort, toilet, wasbak, yskas ens. gehad. 'n TV is ook beskikbaar as jy dit sou benodig. Die bestuurders was baie vriendelik en belangstellend.

Surprising, safe and friendly.

Kites View Bed & Breakfast pleasantly surprised me. I was there as a single traveler who only needed to spend the night. The place had everything I needed. I was able to leave my vehicle overnight behind a lockable gate and they also provided me with a remote control so I could get in and out on my own. I had to leave early in the morning and they were willing to give me breakfast by 06:30 in the morning, even if their official time is only 07:00. It was a big breakfast consisting of bacon, eggs, tea, fruit juice etc. The place has a very nice view. The place where I spent the night had its own shower, toilet, sink, fridge etc. had. A TV is also available if you need it. The managers were very friendly and interested.

Family with teenagers

Disappointing.

A family of 4, 2 teenagers, mum and dad. Booked a twin room but a double was made up when asked if it could be made into a twin we were told it couldn’t be changed till the next day. Arrived for breakfast the next morning and told we couldn’t sit at the table for 4 it was for a family and we should sit at the tables for 2. The family of 4 weren’t there for breakfast so we ended up taking the table of our own accord. Then told it was the cooks day off the next day so we had a limited choice for breakfast. Only 1 toilet roll per room. Monkeys are a real issue pity there’s isn’t screening so you don’t have to sit in a closed room. Not a great stay for the price you pay.

Kites View Bed and Breakfast 's response

Hi Starr,
Thank you for your feedback, good or bad, it is always appreciated.
My sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Unfortunately, my wife and I were overseas at the time of your visit and our locum was taking care of the bed and breakfast in our absence, but take full responsibility for what happens at the bed and breakfast.
The manager is usually very conscientious, and such were surprised and very disappointed to receive your review.
I have discussed the matter with Numsa (Housekeeper) and Louis (Manager).
When room 2 is reserved; only room in which the beds can be split, we always enquire from the guest if they want the beds split or not, prior to their arrival, clearly this was not done. The matter has been addressed with the manager.
It is very unfortunate to be told that a table is reserved for another family, I personally would have responded in much the same manner as you did. This is definitely not the way we treat our guests, we have an additional table which should have been set up for the additional family; which we have done on a number of occasions before. This matter has been addressed with both staff members in no uncertain terms.
The housekeeper, who does the cooking, is off duty on Sundays. However, we have a housekeeper who stands in for her on Sundays, as was the case in this instance. Hopefully, you still enjoyed a great breakfast.
We only supply 1 full toilet roll per room daily or as required, additional toilet paper is supplied on request.
Guests are advised to close the bedroom balcony doors and windows when they vacate the rooms. Monkeys will not enter a room if they see someone inside. Monkeys are opportunistic and will take whatever meal they can find. They are part of the fauna and flora and we endeavour to co-exist with them.
Thank you for staying at Kites View bed and breakfast and once again please accept our apologies where we have fallen short of your expectations. These matters have been addressed and should not happen again.
Hopefully, you and your family will return to Kites View giving us an opportunity to show our true hospitality.
Kind Regards,
Geoff and Kathy

Was a great experience to stay at Kites B&B. I was in Durban with the storms and driving back from Pietermaritzburg at the time when Geoff asked if I need parking and what time I will be checking in. I was upgraded to a bigger room by Geoff which made my stay even better. WiFi is great if you need to work during your stay. Staff is friendly and breakfast nicely prepared. Have recommended the B&B to my boss for her next trip to Durban.

Rustige omgewing, ruim kamer, vriendelike diens.

Stil omgewing naby hoofweë en inkopiesentrums. Goed toegeruste, netjiese ruim kamer en linne. Lugversorging groot plus in warm Durban. WiFi beskikbaar, DStv - geselekteerde kanale. Mooi uitsig van kamer balkon op see. Parkering beknop maar veilig.

Comfortable.

On arrival the bedding was not satisfactory. It looked like someone had already slept in the bed and the linen was pulled straight. The one pillow case had a big brown mark on it, like a sweat mark. We slept with towels over our pillows. The room could have been opened for air before the guest arrived, it was very stuffy. DStv was only working for 1 night. The drain of the shower has terrible smell coming through.

Kites View Bed and Breakfast 's response

Hi Francois, My sincere apologies for the inconvenience. The linen is replaced before every check-in takes place. I can, therefore, assure you that the linen was clean and fresh. The mark on the pillow case is a chemical stain and will be removed from future use. We have a problem with Vervet monkeys trashing the rooms when doors or windows are left open, however, we will endeavour to remedy this somehow. Very often the remote which is used to switch the TV on and off is used to change channels (there is a separate remote for changing channels - DStv remote), when this happens the TV goes off AV and as a result, DStv is no longer available. The remote used for on and off only is marked accordingly. All drains (basin and shower) are dosed with Domestos weekly, this will have to be done more frequently. Thank you for the feedback it is appreciated, we go to great lengths to provide a home from home experience for all our guests. Kind Regards, Geoff

Pragtige plekke, heerlike ontbyt, maar parkeerplek is 'n probleem.

Plek is in 'n veilige, rustige buurt, maar baie ver van die strand af. As jou doelwit is om te gaan vakansie hou, moet jy bereid wees om ver te ry.

Kites View Bed and Breakfast 's response

Hi August,

Thank you for the feedback.

We take the welfare of our guests very seriously and endeavour to create a home from home environment. We would just like to briefly cover some of the pertinent points made above. Namely, location and parking.
1) Location (La Lucia KZN):
La Lucia is located in a tranquil, upmarket area adjoining Umhlanga Rocks.
a. Kites View is 2,5km from the La Lucia beach and La Lucia Mall.
b. We are 5km from the Umhlanga main swimming beach and Gateway theatre of shopping.
c. 15km from King Shaka airport and Ushaka Marine World.
d. 150km - 200km from the Drakensburg resorts and also Imfolozi/Hluhluwe "big five" reserves.
Our establishment is located in a cul-de-sac, and therefore does not have through traffic.
Most of our guests choose Kites View because of its beautiful views (also from the balconies of the 4 upstairs rooms), tranquil and safe environment, away from the hustle and bustle.

2) Parking:
Yes, parking can be a challenge unless managed by the management. We have allocated parking
bays on the property, for the guests, off the road, making the vehicles secure. The bays are
allocated according to size of vehicle, making it easier to manoeuvre them.

Thanks again for staying with us and look forward to your next visit. Hopefully then, we can advise you on the whereabouts of the nearest beaches, places of interest and also allocate a less challenging parking spot for you.
Kind Regards,
Geoff
