Our best stay in South Africa by far. We stayed for 6 days. So sad to leave. Sandy looked after us and nothing was too much trouble. Our spacious room opened onto a terrace overlooking a beautiful pool and garden area. A great breakfast. Staff were excellent always smiling, in a great leafy quiet residential area and only a 5 minute walk to many shops and restaurants. We will be back when we return to South Africa

Unexpectedly quiet and relaxed in the middle of town. Friendly staff, clean. Best free PR: Peter, the owner, acting as a breakfast ceremony master. Clear recommendation!

Nice quiet beautiful little guesthouse, perfect for single or couples. A small swimming pool with sun in the afternoon and sunbeds. Very safe area to walk around to restaurants and the beach promenad. The host couple are great!

Peter, Cilla and Sandy are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Great comfy rooms and tasty breakfasts. The guest house is in a great location for the high street which has good bars and restaurants and is a short walk to the lovely beach.

Obwohl wir zu früh anreisten, wurden wir herzlich begrüsst und empfangen. Das Guesthouse ist ideal gelegen, da man zu Fuss zum Lighthouse, zum Granny Pool sowie ins Zentrum zu den verschiedenen Restaurants gelangt. Sicherheit wird in diesem Quartier sehr gross geschrieben, wir fühlten uns jederzeit sicher.

Peter and Sandy were amazing hosts. Very friendly and welcoming. Felt like staying with (very attentive) friends! A guest house with real charm, character, 1000x better than a soulless chain hotel would have been. I will definitely make Anchors Rest my default place to stay in Umhlanga.
