Nice quiet beautiful little guesthouse, perfect for single or couples. A small swimming pool with sun in the afternoon and sunbeds. Very safe area to walk around to restaurants and the beach promenad. The host couple are great!

Unexpectedly quiet and relaxed in the middle of town. Friendly staff, clean. Best free PR: Peter, the owner, acting as a breakfast ceremony master. Clear recommendation!

Best stay by far

Our best stay in South Africa by far. We stayed for 6 days. So sad to leave. Sandy looked after us and nothing was too much trouble. Our spacious room opened onto a terrace overlooking a beautiful pool and garden area. A great breakfast. Staff were excellent always smiling, in a great leafy quiet residential area and only a 5 minute walk to many shops and restaurants. We will be back when we return to South Africa

Herzlich Willkommen

Obwohl wir zu früh anreisten, wurden wir herzlich begrüsst und empfangen. Das Guesthouse ist ideal gelegen, da man zu Fuss zum Lighthouse, zum Granny Pool sowie ins Zentrum zu den verschiedenen Restaurants gelangt. Sicherheit wird in diesem Quartier sehr gross geschrieben, wir fühlten uns jederzeit sicher.

Excellent guest house close to town.

Excellent guest house close to lots of restaurants and bar. Very friendly hosts, nice room, missed breakfast as we had to leave early but it was a good place and I’m sure it would have been lovely. felt safe, clean and good value.

Friendly hosts, wonderful place.

Peter and Sandy were amazing hosts. Very friendly and welcoming. Felt like staying with (very attentive) friends! A guest house with real charm, character, 1000x better than a soulless chain hotel would have been. I will definitely make Anchors Rest my default place to stay in Umhlanga.
