    The room was super clean and had a really cozy vibe. It's situated in a residential area that's super close to the main center, beaches, and tons of restaurants in Umhlanga. 🏖️

    I must say, my stay at Five Burnham was simply delightful. The decoration in the hotel was charming and elegant, with a touch of old-world charm. The general areas were tastefully decorated and had a cozy ambiance. As a senior woman, I appreciated the accessibility of the hotel. The layout was well-designed, with wide hallways and easy-to-navigate spaces. It made getting around a breeze, even for someone like me with mobility challenges.

    The only thing I would have asked for a better vacation for senior people is a more attentive staff. While the children working there were polite, I found that they could have been more proactive and helpful during my stay.

    Had a wonderful Christmas! the staff were amazing, always smiling and welcoming. We loved the complimentary drinks upon arrival, and the tour of the property made us feel like family. the location was perfect, close to everything we needed to see. And the rooftop jacuzzi was the cherry on top! It was so relaxing to soak in the warm water with a view of the city.

    But that was a minor issue compared to the overall wonderful experience.

    Nestled in a lovely residential area, this guesthouse offers peaceful surroundings away from the hustle and bustle. the rooms are spacious and clean, with cozy beds and fresh linens. the breakfast is a treat with delicious omelettes and tasty sides. Relax on the veranda and take in the tranquil atmosphere.

    While the staff is friendly and accommodating, there may be a delay in responding to guest needs.

    We had a fantastic time at this hotel. The location was perfect, situated in a quiet and idyllic suburb, yet still close to the action of Umhlanga. We enjoyed being just a short distance away from a fantastic pub where we could watch the game, as well as having easy access to the beach and shops. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, with a special mention to the owner who made us feel right at home. The room was spacious and clean, and the breakfast was delicious and filling. We were impressed by the range of amenities provided, including an ironing facilities, tea and coffee making facilities, and a mini-bar. The hotel also had a lovely terrace and garden area where we could relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. this place truly exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend it to everyone.

    This place is a hidden gem. We strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious and comfortable stay with exceptional service.

    Mind-blowing experience at this amazing guest house! The wi-fi here is on another level compared to nearby hotels. The staff gave us a super warm welcome and were so accommodating throughout our stay. The breakfast was jaw-droppingly delicious. Plus, they have free parking, 24-hour security, a fantastic bar/lounge area, and a beautiful outdoor dining area. We were treated to a welcome drink upon arrival and enjoyed the outdoor swimming pool and jacuzzi. The laundry service was a great convenience, and the flat-screen TV in our room was a nice touch. The adults-only environment made for a peaceful stay, and the electric kettle in the room was convenient for making tea. We were treated like VIPs with the smooth check-in/-out process. The beach access and sun loungers were perfect for relaxation. this place was top-notch - absolutely no complaints! Can't wait to visit again.

    The rooms at Five Burnham Guest House were absolutely amazing! They were beautifully decorated and felt so luxurious. I loved the cozy feel of the bedrooms, especially with the comfortable beds and lovely en suite bathrooms.

    Personally, I found the casino room a bit overwhelming. It was a bit too loud and crowded for my taste, but I understand that others might enjoy the excitement and energy.
