Friendly and helpful owner, quiet and peaceful place with everything you need.
It was our first time in Umkomaas. It's very convenient if you want to get away from the city's noise, but still close enough to visit Durban and Margate. We could barbecue and swim even if the weather didn't allow it. It's close enough to walk to the beach. Everything we needed for self-catering was available. We were even offered an extra night, after being stuck in the snow on the N3 the first night.

Nice and value for money.
Had a great time and the place is good value for money. Owners are very friendly and helpful. Nice first visit in Umkomaas. The launch site is very reasonably priced and the restaurants we visited we met nice people. Sorry we missed the sardines and the fishing yielded nothing. Next time.

This is exactly what we wanted, an affordable, neat, comfortable and safe place for the weekend while visiting our son who works on the South Coast. We will definitely book here again. Nice and friendly owners.

We only spent two nights as we were down for a wedding. We weren't there much during the day, but it was an enjoyable stay.

Service was very good and very friendly people.
They might just have to sit in the smoking section and somehow keep out the rain. Other than that, als was wonderful. Will definitely go again.

Glad nie wat geadverteer was nie.

Translate to English.
Not at all what was advertised.
The photos on the email and the accommodation we walked into were not the same at all. There was no self-catering facility apart from a kettle to make coffee/tea and a microwave and the owner said we could go and buy food at Enzos. If we wanted to buy food we did not book a self-catering unit.

Smalls Cottage 's response
Hi Magda, you, unfortunately, booked the incorrect unit. As per the site, we have the self-catering cottage and the sleeper room which is not self-catering. We apologize if you feel that the site is misleading but we have had other guests who book through the same site for the sleeper room and have never had any issues. Please feel free to book the self-catering cottage when in Umkomaas again.
Regards Iris

Friendly people, good service, comfortable and quiet overnight.
We were only there one night, but the room was fully equipped with everything we would have wanted. Microwave (even with one of those plastic covers that prevents everything from splashing when you heat it), kettle, coffee, tea etc. The room was very neat and the bathroom clean. The shower is great. The room is also big enough that my wife and I didn't feel in each other's way. Would recommend.

Hi
Ons sal n plakaat maak wat vra dat dat gen geraas na 10 gemaak word nie. Indien jy ons verwittig het kon ek die gaste gaan vra on sagter te weens. Jammer vir die ongerief.

Hi Dou, thank you very much for your review. We do have a non-smoking policy in the cottage, which not all guests adhere to. We are always trying to exceed our guests expectations and make it feel like a home-away-from-home. We do apologise for the inconvenience caused. Regards, Iris.

Goeiedag Dolf
As jy op die webtuiste kyk, die foto van die dubbel bed is deel van die kothuis en nie die kamer nie. Weens die feit dat ons enkel mense kry, het ons besluit om enkel beddens in te sit. Die idee is dat mense net oorslaap. Ons het vir gerief 'n klein yskas en 'n mikrogolf geinstaleer. Ek is jammer vir die teleurstelling, probeer volgende keer die kothuis bespreek. Dit slaap 5 mense en is selfsorg.
