Today it sits proudly overlooking the Indian Ocean, the waves crashing on the rocks below, as a luxury guesthouse. With 10 bedrooms, this grand old home can accommodate up to 22 guests. It is perfectly situated to explore all the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast has to offer.

Botha House- Forest Cottage - Excellant

Reviewed By Erna A

We stayed in the forest Cottage 22-25/3/2022 6 x girlfriends. We highly recommend this cottage. It was spacious and clean and well prized (and we still got a pensioners discount). The staff was very friendly and helpful. The only negative was that the Cottage didn't have a pool but they allowed us to use the Botha House pool one afternoon which had the most beautiful views. We would highly recommend both

Comfortable peaceful resort

Reviewed By SashaHancock01

We spent a night at the hotel to visit family who had rented a villa. The resort was beautiful with winding paths and well established trees and greenery. The pool was exquisite, large and clean with plenty of sun beds. There was a small mix up where First Group arranged a mattress on the floor for my son but the hotel hadn’t set this up on check in at 16.30, well after the 14.00 check in time. But it was resolved swiftly. For dinner we went up to the golf club and the children enjoyed the jungle gyms while we waited, although the wait was extremely long. The orders were in shortly after 5pm for our table of 18 (we went early to mitigate the size of the group) but the food only came out around 7pm. I would recommend in these cases a limited menu or to prepare food in groups for example kids’ meals first. That said the staff were very accommodating and I’m sure the formal buffet at the hotel would have gone smoothly. The golf club was very reasonable, our total bill being less than R4000 for all of us with alcoholic drinks, and the club was lively with locals and golfers who were welcoming and good fun. I would recommend a 1st floor room if you smoke as the private balconies are very comfortable for a sundowner or evening drink when the kids are asleep. Also consider that rooms are in smaller blocks throughout the resort so ask for one near to the reception/restaurant if you have any difficulties walking (elderly/babies etc). I appreciated the large empty fridge in the room to store our milk, water, fruit etc and the ample Wi-Fi throughout the resort. The smart TV with Netflix and YouTube was super. The breakfast was great and we weren’t charged extra for the kids. We certainly left with warm hearts!

AquaVista Review

Reviewed By proux661867

Great location with a beautiful ocean view. Sparkling pool that we used day and night, ensuite rooms and a friendly, helpful host. On the down side, the place needs some TLC but more importantly a thorough clean.

Warm welcome from Caron. Room with garden was neat, clean and spacious for our 2 labradors. Breakfast was awesome. Quick walk to the beach, with rock pools for the doggies to dip into. Great getaway from the hustle/bustle of Dbn. Choice of 3 eateries which are pet friendly....
