Lovely holiday.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. Jaco was really accommodating and always on hand to assist in any way he could before our arrival. On arrival, Chanel and her mum were super helpful and assisted with anything we needed. The unit is fantastic and the view is amazing; it really felt like a home away from home. The kids loved the jungle gym and pool area. Highly recommend; we will definitely be back.

Die verblyf was uitstekend, die strande is mooi skoon en oop, winkels naby.

Die woonstel was netjies, ten volle toegerus en in 'n veilige kompleks met verskeie geriewe wat dit wonderlik gemaak het om te bly.

We had an amazing stay.

It was nothing short of amazing, great views, the place was cute, child friendly and easy for people that need to work as well. Just one thing, if they could get blinds or something for the front door as when we go out at night we need to switch off the lights or people will be able to see inside the apartment.

Shangri la 408 's response

Dear Zama,

Many thanks for taking the time to review your stay with us. We're so pleased you had a great stay. With regards to the blinds for the front door, we experience strong winds from the ocean side, especially when the ocean side windows and front door are open. These winds create problems with blinds in the unit. In summer, the wind cools down the unit, which is surely very welcome. The glass in the front door is, however, tinted; unfortunately, at night, if a light is on inside the unit, you will be able to view inside. The view inside is very limited though due to the passage and kitchen walls. The bedrooms, kitchen, and bathrooms are private. I must, however, point out that the complex offers one of the safest accommodations in the area. We have controlled access in and out of the building, with a 24-hour patrolling security and CCTV monitored cameras. Being the second last unit on the floor, we also have minimal foot traffic past our entrance. I hope this sheds a bit of light on your recommendation.

We hope to accommodate you again in the future.

Kindest regards,
Shangri La 408

It was very pleasant.

The flat is very nice with a beautiful view, but the bed linen was not ironed and looked as if it had been slept on. I also found it unusual that there were no towels, as I have been to many self-catering places and they all supply bath towels. Yes, I would recommend Shangri la 408, but I would suggest that they check the bedding on arrival and not accept unironed linen.

Shangri la 408 's response

Dear Kathy, thank you for taking the time to do a review on 408 Shangri La. I can assure you we take our guests' reviews very seriously and the matter has been addressed to our cleaners. With regards to the bedding, I can assure you that we will never hand the unit over to a guest where someone else slept under the same linen. Lydia and Chanel advised me that they only received your complaint the day of your departure, and they assured me that if you had handed in your complaint on arrival, the matter would have been rectified with new fresh linen immediately. With regards to the towels, on 3 June 2024, I emailed you your booking confirmation. On the booking confirmation, we ask our guests to please remember to bring their own personal and beach towels. We do regard towels as one of the personal hygiene items and thus do not supply towels. Thus, our response with regards to your review: please, in future, if you are unhappy with anything regarding supplied items, i.e., bedding and linen, please advise us immediately in order for us to address the matter and rectify the complaint immediately. Please also take the time to read through your booking details as per the email regarding the towels. I am pleased that you at least enjoyed the rest of your stay and the unit with beautiful views. I hope that we can accommodate you again in the future and will do everything possible to make your stay at 408 Shangri La as pleasant as possible. Kindest regards, Jaco

Het lekker gebly en sekuriteit is goed.

Toe ons daar gekom het, het die plek bietjie dodgy gelyk en daar was niemand om ons te help nie. Ek moes bel om gehelp te word, maar toe ons eers in die eenheid is, het dit baie mooi gelyk en presies soos op die foto's. Ons was toe baie verlig omdat dit vir ons so dodgy gelyk het. Ons het toe baie lekker gebly.

When we got there, the place looked a bit dodgy and there was no one to help us. I had to call to get help, but once we were in the unit, it looked very nice and exactly like the pictures. We were very relieved then because it seemed so dodgy to us. We had a great time then.

Goeie dag Karin

Baie dankie vir die resensie van u verblyf by 408 Shangri La. Dit is vir ons bietjie skokwekkend dat u noem die plek met aankoms 'dodgy' gelyk het. Ek wil graag van die geleentheid gebruik maak om u resensie stuk vir stuk te neem. Die eenheid is gelee op die hoofstrand van Doonside. Die kompleks is in 'n uitmuntende kondisie en ons is baie verbaas dat u eerste opsig van die plek dodgy is. Die kompleks is glad nie vervalle nie en is werklikwaar netjies en skoon. Die blok bestaan uit 153 eenhede (17 vloere) en is tans gelys in die top 5 bestemmings in die Amanzimtoti en naby gelee gebiede.

Ek verwys na my e-pos aan u gestuur 3 Oktober 2023, waar ek ten volle alle inligting gegee het van u bespreking. In daai e-pos is 'n verwysing met Chanel Lombard se telefoonnommer om te skakel vir die sleutel ontvangs / en of reelings wat getref kan word vir wanneer julle arriveer. U het dieselfde dag ontvangs daarvan erken en die e-pos aangestuur na Mnr. Christo M.

Die dag wat u by Shangri La arriveer het, het u my om 16:53 geskakel en gese u is by die kompleks. U het geen reelings met Chanel getref soos aangevra in my e-pos nie. Ek het onmiddelik Chanel in kennis gestel dat u wel daar is en sy het my laat weet sy is net nou by die winkel maar sy stuur haar man Clayton af om julle te ontvang en die eenheid aan julle te oorhandig. Ek het per Whatsapp boodskap om 16:58 die boodskap so aan julle oorgedra en u het om 16:59 erkenning daarvan bevestig. Clayton het julle ontvang en geneem na die eenheid. Chanel het haarself gaan voorstel aan julle toe sy terug kom die winkel.

Met verwysing tot die diens gradeering 3/5.

Dit is beslis vir ons teleurstellend dat u die diens as gemiddeld gradeer het. Op 7 May 2024 om 16:58 het u my per e-pos in kennis gestel dat julle graag 'n extra persoon ook wil akkomodeer en gevra wat die extra koste gaan wees. Ek binne 5 minute van die ontvangs van u e-pos het u in kennis gestel dat dit geen probleem sal wees en dat ek julle tegemoed sal kom en geen addisionele kostes sal vra vir die extra persoon nie.

Tydens julle verblyf het u nog 'n eenheid gesoek vir nog gaste. Beide ek en Chanel het mede-eienaars in die kompleks geskakel en probeer uitvind of iemand vir julle beskikbaarheid het met 'n eenheid. Ons was ten alle tye met u in kontak oor die versoek.

Dit is teleurstellend dat bo alles ons het regtig alles in ons vermoe gedoen het om julle so gemaklik en gerieflik as moontlik te maak en ons was beslis ten alle tye beskikbaar vir al julle navra en versoeke.

Ons hoop van harte die resensie beeld dat ons by 408 Shangri La beslis baie akkomodeerend is teenoor ons gaste en dat dienslewering vir ons 'n groot prioriteit is.

Groete
Jaco - 408 Shangri La

Absolute best stay.

Huge shoutout to Chanel who gave us a very warm welcome. The place has everything we needed, Wi-Fi, smart TV, appliances, and the newly renovated bathrooms were gorgeous. The views from the flat are spectacular and all the amenities are excellent: safe parking, safe access to the beach, pools, play and braai areas are clean. Jaco made the unit very modern and so comfortable. We just loved every minute of our stay here.

Fantasties! Kan nie beter nie.

Baie dankie aan Jaco en Chanel. Julle diens is excellent. Ons het ons wittebrood so baie geniet. Daar was niks kort nie, ons het baie lekker gekuier, en om die son te sien opkom oor die see vanuit die kamervenster was net asemrowend! Julle sien ons gou weer.

A quiet and peaceful place. Very beautiful sea views. Clean and safe.

We were warmly welcomed by Chanel who gave us a run-through of the flat. Everything was clean and neat. The Wifi and entertainment viewing options kept our teenage children entertained whilst indoors and the recreation outdoors was great for the whole family. The building was still well-lit during loadshedding and lifts were still in operation. Overall, it was a great stay and will definitely recommend to others. Thank you.

Eenheid en ontvangs deur Chanel beslis bogemiddeld.

Vriendelike en professionele ontvangs deur Chanel. Die woonstel was mooi skoon en netjies. Chanel het ons deurentyd op hoogte gehou met die "loadshedding" en ook aanbevelings gemaak van plekke om te besoek, selfs na-ure kon ons op haar knoppie druk. In die geheel was ons baie tevrede met ons verblyf. Die kinders het dit ook moeilik gevind om te speel in die parkie en om die swembad a.g.v. die gras wat vol dorings is. En dan was die swemstrand ook vir ons 'n probleem, want ons kon glad nie van die strand gebruik maak nie en moes elke dag ry na 'n ander strand om te swem en ons doel was tog om loopafstand van die strand te woon.

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

Unit and reception by Chanel definitely above average.

Friendly and professional reception by Chanel. The apartment was very clean and tidy. Chanel kept us up to date with the "loadshedding" and also made recommendations of places to visit, even after hours we could push her button. Overall we were very satisfied with our stay. The children also found it difficult to play in the park and around the pool because of the grass that is full of thorns. And then the swimming beach was also a problem for us, because we couldn't use the beach at all and had to drive to a different beach every day to swim and our goal was to live within walking distance of the beach.

Goeie dag Desirey

Baie dankie vir jou tyd om 408 Shangri La te gradeer. Ons vra groot verskoning oor die dorings in die grasperk. Ek het dit tans met die bestuur van die kompleks opgeneem en hulle het my verseker dit sal aandag ontvang. Die swemstrand is wel buite ons beheer en die water word reg oor die kus daagliks gemonitor vir die vlakke van besoedeling. Die munisipaliteit is tans wel besig met herstelwerk aan die pype wat die besoedeling veroorsaak te herstel en ons hoop dit sal binnekort uitgesorteer word. Dit is maar 'n groot probleem tans in die hele KZN area.

Shangri la 408 's response

Dear Nomsa
Thank you for taking the time to rate your experience in 408 Shangri La. Chanel informed me about a few points of confusion during your stay. Please note that we only rent out the unit for holiday accommodation on a self-catering basis. The unit is fully equipped for a comfortable stay. Therefore, we supply one toilet paper in each bathroom, but any additional requirements during your stay will unfortunately be for your own account. We hand over the unit to guests in a clean and sanitised state, and so, no daily cleaning service is provided. The daily cleaning can certainly be arranged with Chanel, but this additional expense will be for your own account. My email to you also mentioned the requirement for you to bring your own beach and bath towels. For health reasons, we do not supply these items. Please could you kindly give me some advice on how we can improve our cleanliness as you only awarded us three stars. Same please with the service received and security. The complex offers 24 hour security access and each communal area is monitored by CCTV systems. We are looking forward to your reply and will certainly consider your recommendations to ensure we serve our guests to the best of our ability.

Kind regards

Wat 'n wonderlike woonstel. Ons wou na die kuiertjie net nie huis toe gaan nie.

Pragtige uitsig, skoon, modern, alles wat jy nodig het. Baie gemaklik en vreeslik mooi. En wat 'n plus vir die Netflix en Youtube. Met die WiFi. Die kinders het dit vreeslik saam ons geniet. Oh en die shower. Ek sou nie omgee as ons elke dag in die woonstel moes uit hang nie. Sal beslis weer kom. Chanel het ook baie mooi na ons gekyk en baie moeite gedoen om vir ons al die plekke gestuur waar ons die kids kan vat en onsself mee besig kan hou.

I always book in this block for years. Love the convenience and location!

I only had 1 issue. The supervisor, Frans, came through on Saturday and was confused about my check-out date, but that was resolved. The part I didn't appreciate was on Monday he arrives at the door at 10:00 am to make sure we are checking out, which we were walking out and had cleaned out the flat already. It was rude and felt like he didn't trust us, so he had to follow up after informing me that I should drop the key in the same box I collected it outside the shop. Didn't appreciate it at all. Other than that, I had a lovely stay and the flat was great, no issues.

Shangri la 408 's response

Baie dankie Meryl, vir die gradering. As die eienaar van die eenheid vra ons groot onverskoning oor die manier wat Frans julle hanteer het. Ek gaan dit beslis met hom opneem en sal die nodige stappe neem aangesien ons van hom verwag om ons gaste persoonlik te ontvang en af te sien met vriendelikheid en gasvryheid. Ons hoop ons sal die geleentheid gegun word om in die toekoms te kan opmaak vir die ongerief.

Baie lekker.

Die woonstel is baie lekker, groot genoeg vir gesin van 5 en klein genoeg om dit netjies en skoon te hou. Maar die WiFi, Netflix en Showmax was die bonus vir ons van die woonstel en dan die wasmasjien en tuimeldroër het baie handig in gekom sal beslis weer daar vakansie hou. Dalk kyk vir nuwe bank vir sitkamer, sy spring het my kind se been gesny, en dalk nuwe blindings of gordyne voor venster sal meer gemaklik wees.

The apartment is very nice, big enough for family of 5 and small enough to keep it neat and clean. But the WiFi, Netflix and Showmax were the bonus for us from the apartment and then the washing machine and tumble dryer came in very handy will definitely holiday there again. Maybe look for new sofa for living room, his jump cut my child's leg, and maybe new blinds or curtains in front of window will be more comfortable.
