BEST VALUE OFFERING ON UMHLANGA RIDGE
The check-in was delayed and not very pleasant due to deposit issue, but staff throughout were helpful and friendly. This Hotel offers good location, decent services and comfortable rooms for best value in this area. Breakfasts are above average for this type of hotel and pool area is pleasant. If you are looking for a nice Hotel and don't want to break the bank, then this Hotel is ideal.
