The place is still the best to visit, with its happy people...

The place is still the best to visit, with its happy people. The place has changed a lot with public areas neglected. Areas that were previously accessible are now restricted, eg. One cannot drive through to get closer to the bay area. I used to enjoy parking in between those trees. The ocean was not clean and had evidence of burnt residues. The sand bags at the beach needs to be rearranged and renewed. Hoping it will be improved soon as December vacation is coming.

It's ok though the mall closes too early even on holidays.

It's ok though the mall closes too early even on holidays. Richards Bay is clean but when you at the open parking's of the Boardway by Bluff meat entrance, it's super untidy it's like you have moved to a different place all together. It's a little bit scarry to park and leave your car there.

My favorite place was being at the bon hotel and Zula.

My favorite place was being at the bon hotel and Zula. I loved the hotel food and neighborhood shisanyama. Not to forget the ice-cream nearby the hotel it was very nice. My family and I enjoyed the boat cruise and being, and we also drove to St Lucia for trip to hluhluwe to see the big five. It is not very far though it's 1 hour drive from Richard's Bay.

Not much to complain about.

Not much to complain about. The town is just as beautiful, especially the trees surrounding the whole town, it makes it very beautiful. The beaches are just beautiful for those of us from inland. Unfortunately, the Airport remains the same, just pathetic.

Beautiful beach potential, caring local community.

Beautiful beach potential, caring local community. Good roads, LOTS of speed control. Unfortunately the victim of neglectful municipality, safety concerns and limited paying traffic causing a decay of local businesses and infrastructure.

Firstly, the owner of the property was so warm and welcoming to my family and I. The place was cozy and definitely felt like a home away from home. Everything was neat and tidy. We had all the amenities we needed on site. The place had such a beautiful outdoor area. We will definitely go back whenever we are in Richards Bay. Highly recommended! Real value for money.

It's a lovely hotel, I spent my time in my room relaxing after a long couple of weeks working in the field. The bed was massive and comfy, the bathroom was clean and everything worked, there were several appliances in the room including a freezer. Staff were always very friendly and I felt like they knew what I would need before I asked for it.
