Thoroughly enjoyed our family time. The unit at Widenham Holiday Units was fully equipped.

We had a lovely time. Hosts were kind and welcoming. Facilities were on point. Cleanliness on point. The garden and pool area was beautifully therapeutic for those of us from the busy city with long hours jobs. Definitely recommend.

Best relaxing holiday unit there is.

Die vakansie-eenheid is werklik waarde vir geld. En dit is nie te ver van die strand nie. Het baie baie lekker gebly. Die gasheer en vrou was baie vriendelik. Die swembad was net so lekker. Dit het veral gehelp met DSTV toe dit baie gereën het.

Best relaxing holiday unit there is.

The holiday unit is really value for money. And it's not too far from the beach. Had a very nice stay. The host and wife were very friendly. The pool was just as nice. It especially helped with DSTV when it rained a lot.

Rustig, vriendelikheid.

Ons was met ope arms ontvang en dadelik tuis gevoel. Skoonste mooiste verblyf ooit, mis alreeds die bed, was hemels. Swembad skoon, braaigeriewe uitstekend. Met loadshedding saans het ons nie eers geweet van nie krag nie. Baie baie dankie vir alles.

Was an ideal place to chill. Private and quiet. Avril and Kenneth were very friendly and allowed us our privacy, which was very welcome. (They are great hosts). A modern, well finished unit which is well equipped. Has all the mod-cons, such as an air-conditioner, fan and full DStv package. The bathroom has a shower and bath.

Most enjoyable, comfortable stay.

Very neat unit (1 bedroom unit) with all the basics you need. I stayed for two weeks and didn't need more! I did appreciate the shower and bath in the bathroom. Beautiful comfortable stay. Well maintained property and lush garden with sparkling pool. Close enough to walk to the beach. You could however hear the neighbour in the next door unit. If you could hear them snore they could probably hear you! Overall good value for money. Thanx again Avril, Kenneth, Kobus and Diamond for a memorable stay.

Exceptional - loved the place, friendly staff and management. Value for money!

Thank you to Avril (owner) and Kobus (caretaker) for having us this weekend. We loved staying at your holiday home. Everything was clean and tidy. Kobus received us with open arms, we arrived later than expected, without any issues on their side. The cottage was exactly what we needed. Our guest count changed last minute and they accommodated us without any hassle. We will definitely make use of them again.

Lida was the perfect visitor. She communicated with us as her plans changed which was really great. She left the cottage in a clean and orderly state which we also appreciated. Lida was friendly and we would have her visit here anytime with pleasure.

Baie gerieflik en ruim woonstel wat smaakvol en netjies ingerig is.

Ons was opsoek na plek naby genoeg aan Durban vir dag uitstappies. Die eenheid se ligging het voldoen aan die vereiste. Die eienaars is verskriklik vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Die eenheid is baie nuut binne en is ingerig met alles wat benodig mag word. Die eenheid is in 'n baie rustige omgewing met 'n lieflike tuin en swembadarea waar jy rustig kan sit en ontspan. Die eenheid is loopafstand vanaf die strand. Ek sal enige tyd weer van hulle gebruik maak.

We were looking for a place close enough to Durban for day trips. The unit's location met the requirement. The owners are incredibly friendly and helpful. The unit is very new inside and is furnished with everything that may be needed. The unit is in a very peaceful environment with a lovely garden and pool area where you can sit and relax. The unit is walking distance from the beach. I would use them again anytime.

Pragtige verblyf en verwelkom met ope arms.

Ons het ‘n heerlike twee weke gehad. Die eenheid is silwerskoon en is wel toegerus en privaat. Ons was verras oor die lieflike spasie direk buite die eenheid en kon tot familie verwelkom deur onder by die swembad te braai. Daar is 'n waskamer met 'n wasmasjien en tuimeldroër en ook wasgoedlyn. Oorgenoeg en veilige parkering. Ken en Avril is twee pragtige eienaars en lewer ‘n fantastiese diens. Hulle sal ons baie beslis weer sien. Baie dankie vir ‘n onvergeetlike tyd.

Beautiful stay and welcome with open arms.

We had a wonderful two weeks. The unit is spotless and well equipped and private. We were surprised by the lovely space right outside the unit and were able to welcome family by barbecuing downstairs by the pool. There is a laundry room with a washing machine and tumble dryer and also a washing line. Ample and safe parking. Ken and Avril are two beautiful owners and provide a fantastic service. They will most definitely see us again. Thank you very much for an unforgettable time.

Lovely, very upmarket units which were spic and span. Lovely pool and seating area with undercover braai. Avril and Ken were lovely hosts and very helpful. (Thanks for the ice, Ken).

Very nice area, quiet and far enough from everything to be able to move in silence after a long day at the beach.

Thanks to Avril who received us very kindly and made sure all the time that everything was still right. Had a great stay in Widenham and the children really enjoyed the pool. The only suggestion I can make is that they should consider getting someone in, even if it's only every second day, to help with the cleaning work in the residential units. Apparently the wife doesn't want to do the dishes on holiday either :))
