The property is in a good location within walking distance of many shops and the Howick falls. The rooms was a spacious twin bed. (There are rooms of different sizes) Beds were comfortable and it is convenient to have a fridge and microwave in the room. Limited coffee tea etc supplied but more available on request. In future we would take beverages to suit our own needs. Shower was a comfortable size and good shower head.
Room decor was good but the room could do with a attention to keeping things well maintained. The breakfast was good but perhaps a little costly for what was provided.

The service was friendly and efficient. The property had a safe, open parking area. The room was spacious with a small kitchenette (appliances: kettle, toaster, microwave, and small refrigerator) The room also had a TV, decoder, and WiFi The beds were very comfortable and had electric blankets.
A few steps with a slightly uneven path lead to the room. This was a little difficult when using a wheeled suitcase and more so if you have physical - ( hip/knee/foot) or visual difficulties.

I liked the room's cleanliness, the comfortable beds, and the fast Wi-Fi. The room also had a nice bathroom and kitchen facilities. The location is also good and the guesthouse is near a garage and other fast-food restaurants.
I tried contacting the guesthouse before my arrival to confirm that I could bring my dog but they did not answer their phone or respond to my messages.

The location is unbeatable, closed to main street , restaurants etc , there is a petrol station just next to the property. The house is cozy and has a little fan to keep cool during summers. Also basic facility to make coffee etc , small dining table to have your food.
The furniture is quite old and some of the fusion covers on chairs outside had a mold on it.

Breakfast n/a. The room was large and airy and well appointed. Beds were very comfortable as were the pillows. It was spotlessly clean. I would recommend with pleasure.
There was complimentary coffee, sugar and milk powder, but some tea bags would have been nice.

Peter and his staff were so friendly and helpful. We had a lovely stay over and would recommend Nutmeg to all. The location is perfect because you can get to anywhere you want to go, it's very central and convenient. You have town close by and the midlands meander at your fingertips.
I can't fault Nutmeg on anything even with the loadshedding as they have a generator.
