The genuinely honest staff and host tried their best. They make a plan and 110% effort to host using old equipment! They tried to make us feel as home as possibly could. They are simple people who tried to accommodate 14 people (our group) to the best of of their ability. The Swimming Pool is also fantastic. The scenary is old relaxed. However, the rooms are quiet spacious and will not make you feel cramped. Even though the booking was for a group and yet we were placed in different ends of the houses, the staff tried to accommodate us by moving beds to the cottage and rooms close to them. It would be nice to have all been in one house and not separated.

The place is rather old and rooms need more modernization and maybe some ventilation upgrades to avoid their moist or dampness smell. Truly, some insects have a habitat there, such that they feel as if you are invading their space. Also, the kitchen is understaffed and ran out of cutlery on one of our breakfasts. The place is near the coast (but no direct beach access) and so is very damp, so carpeted rooms will cause discomfort to those with asthma and ninuses. The wooden floors need to be treated or replaced as well. Lastly, you are not guaranteed to have adjuscent rooms. Beds in cottage were not too comfortable but we're bearable.

The house is an architectural marvel with stunning views. The rooms were clean and spacious with stunning views. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. They set up a nice place for us to do our sip and paint activities. Day staff and night staff did everything they could to make us feel at home. the estate is close to the shopping centre and the beach. I would totally come back here and recommend to more of my friends.

Everything was really great. The monkeys did cause some minor panic hahaha, because I am scared of them, but that is something out of the property's control. Breakfast options are slightly limited but some very good quality food and good portions. Really enjoyed it.

The breakfasts were prepared for us after we reached the dining room . The food was good . Charles the night manager was very helpful throughout

The Botha is quite isolated , and whilst on some evenings one can eat at the Umdoni Golf Club ( short drive away) and also at the Selborne Golf Hotel ( 3 miles away ) . We discovered that if we gave notice the Botha could prepare an evening meal - but they need to update their marketing to reflect this as an option . Details of facilities omitted that they have hairdryers in the rooms and pool towels are available.

Botha House was absolutely incredible. The authentic historical stay was above and beyond our expectations and we can definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves amazing views and beautiful old charm atmosphere. Charles, the daytime manager was an amazing host, filled with knowledge and the gift of great hospitality. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here on the last day of 2023 and saying hello to 2024 with the most wonderful breakfast outside in an atmosphere filled with incredible views and beauty. Thank you Botha house for an amazing experience.

Nothing, all was incredible.

Our stay at Botha House was exceptional! BEAUTIFUL and quiet location, extremely well-kept property, incredible views, a delicious breakfast, and excellent customer service. Parishka was absolutely lovely and made us welcome as soon as we arrived. Charles then took over for the remainder of our stay and what a treat. He truly made our experience a memorable one. We went diving for the first two days of our stay and relaxed for the remaining two days. I really enjoyed sitting on the porch overlooking the ocean, drinking coffee, and getting some work done on my laptop. My husband and I left feeling refreshed and very taken care of. The golf club across the road has a fantastic and very reasonably priced lunch and dinner - also highly recommend. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Lovely property in a beautiful location. Our sea view room was airy and nicely appointed, with a lot of old world charm matching good levels of comfort. There are nature walks right on the doorstep, and the golf course clubhouse (also very close by) served up a really good fish & chips!

Let down by the details. Some linen looking threadbare, some parts of the room a little grubby. Staff is really friendly and efficient, but again - the details! No decaf filter coffee (which should be a given at the price), plus little things like serving meal with plastic wrap still on the bowls and orange juice carafe.

I loved the breakfast, very tasty.....................Charles does his work effortlessly....................great staff, great hospitality......... you guys want to make sure your guests are the happiest

I didn't stay longer............ I want to stay long and I understand why your place is always booked, the place is very beautiful, the staff going beyond their call of duty. The owner making sure her guests are well taking care of, I booked so late and last minute and you guys took me in after hours, and for that I am grateful and I am deeply sad I didn't stay longer

The view,breakfast was super even though a buffet would do so that we can have choice but the manager took orders accordingly.Iron in the rooms could come handy.overall we like the place because it offers lots of beaches on the way from durban.

There were no irons in the room even though the service for ironing was there but 12 noon is far for waiting for clothes to be ironed.

A beautiful historic old house, well maintained, and with an air of elegance. I could not fault the service if I tried, everything was seen to and well-run with our host being really friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The view from the house is breathtaking and one had an excellent breakfast on the veranda overlooking the sea. The walk in the indigenous forest was an added bonus.

The quiet surrounds and the proximity to the ocean is amazing. The swimming pool is in a protecting alcove which provides privacy from the main building. The staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast was fabulous.

I can propose / suggest that the carpets in the rooms are professionally cleaned regularly, as they are quite stained. Definitely a mirror in the bedroom, near the plug, (for the ladies to do hair & makeup) would be a plus.
