WiFi was a bit slow and not reachable in some places of the apartment I think washing of the dishes should be included and fresh towels every second day

It’s comfortable it’s clean

Cupboard space was taken up by cleaning stuff, geyser and solar system. Towels were not changed regularly.

Location was good. Access to property was easy. Friendly staff right fron the security to cleaning staff. Apartment was kept clean.

The rooms were serviced but dish washing was not included. This was a pity but we did negotiate with the cleaners to pay them additional to do that. otherwise all was great!

A bit of noise during our visit but quickly resolved

The extra fast wifi was definitely a perk enjoyed by us younger ones.

The rules for me was just too much I kept on checking if we are not violating any of them just so I could get my deposit back that at times I couldn't enjoy my stay because I was forever worried.

Everything is within walking distance, places we wanted to go to was just a few minutes away, it's really safe,comfortable and absolutely stunning.

The shades is situated right in the heart of Umhlanga,yet gives you your space, for relaxation, peace and quiet..It is walking distance to the beach and surrounded by Malls and restaurants.The vibe and atmosphere is amazing if you're on holiday like we were.Our host was in contact with us,which was reassuring. They provided daily housekeeping, and the helper was friendly and kind.We loved the air-conditioning, clean, and modern apartment.Thank you for having us.We most definitely will be back soon.Love Vee & Johnny 🇦🇺

What I didn't like is more of an external factor nothing to do with the host per se, while braaing were playing music very very soft a person 150m away wouldn't hear but the security guard came with a very negative attitude told us to reduce the volume and reducing below meant switching it off so we we did switch the music off thinking we outside maybe it's disrupting to neighbors yet he just came into his shift the security who just knocked off didn't have any issues he then came again later as we were chilling in the apartment he came and told us we making noise that was a fair request from him but the problem is the way he talked to us like we were his kids his attitude stinks I swear he has anger issues he was so angry we thought there must be something we did because there's no way the noise we made could make a person that angry,most times guests at some point must be reminded of the rules but politely so there was no need for him to shout at us and threaten us with eviction etc just because we laughed a lil louder but other than the place is nice and quite suitable for couple or family but definitely not group of friends.

The apartment is very beautiful and very clean just next to the braai area,unfortunately we didn't meet house keepers as we're leaving before they arrived and came back qhen they left already but we always found the place spotless they did a great job,other security guards were very friendly except 1 who was on night shift.The swimming pool is crystal blue

An amazing home away from home. Loved the place. The host was really helpful to queries. Will definitely be visiting this place again. My new favorite place in umhlanga! Keep it up

Everything, this was exceptional! The cleaner was there everyday and she even offered to iron our clothes, which we kindly rewarded her at the end of the two weeks.

This property was exactly how it appears online, but even more beautiful once your there!
