Highly Recommended - Wonderful Hospitality

This place was perfect. More than I expected. The hosts were so wonderful and welcoming. They also offered some recommendations on things to do in the area. The space itself was comfortable and so nice to hang out. I had to make myself leave because I was so happy there. There is a bar, couches with a fireplace, a cabana type area, a pool, and the breakfast and the breakfast area was so cute as well. I highly recommend this place. It gives the warm feeling of a happy home as opposed to staying in a hotel where you can never find this type of warmth.

A gem in Umhlanga

This is a gem. Excellent service, nice quiet rooms, access to garden, pool and a well-filled bar. Perfect location, although on the “wrong” side of M4. Excellent value for an affordable price

Bra läge

Vi kan verkligen rekommendera Honey pot B&B. Det är ett jättemysigt , genuint och fint ställe. Värdparet Bob och Heather ser till att vistelsen blir så bra som möjligt. De hjälper till att boka taxi och rekommenderar de bästa restaurangerna och ger gärna tips om de olika aktiviteterna som finns att göra och att se. Honey pot har ett utmärkt läge i området med endast 10 minuters promenad väg till allt som Umhlanga har att erbjuda.

Delightful, comfortable, clean guest houses

HoneyPot guest house is a dream location with a separate porch for each guest room, lovely honey-scented bath soaps, and a pool and garden pathway. The space is gated and guarded and feels peaceful and secluded though it is close to malls and airport.
