Ridgesea Guest House

Disappointing.

Got 'invaded' by a group of young people - at least 16 or more - apparently underage - drinking and partying and basically taking over most of the house inside and outside. The freezer was packed with alcoholic drinks. Because of the noise, no sleep was possible. At about 3 am I went outside and talked to them to try and quieten them down. It looked as if staff were happily participating in the 'celebrations'. Great was my surprise when the next evening some were back, at least, this time, partying with the staff at the back of the house but still making a huge noise. Again, a whole freezer full of alcohol.

Dit was great.

Het lekker gebly, staff baie vriendelik.

Very pleasant stay. Friendly staff and a neat place.

See stars.

Good.

Stay was good. Staff was friendly.

Clean, friendly. Well received.

All requirements met. Hostess was fantastic, friendly and saw to all our needs.

Rooms were good, breakfast limited, but would not be back.

The property was half finished being painted. It looked rather tacky from outside. The staff stayed in and during the day would be shouting at their kids playing in the pool. No respect for guests while you are on the premises with their noise levels.

Ek het verkies om slegs in die kamer te bly, aangesien die kinders die leefareas beset het.

Dit was glad nie 'n lekker blyplek nie. Dit is 400m van die see af, soos die kraai vlieg. Dit was nie huislik nie, en die ontvangs was nie verwelkomend nie.

Baie goeie ervaaring.

Baie skoon en netjies. Vir 'n oornag verblyf was dit perfek.

Perfect stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at Ridgesea Guest House. The staff was friendly and provided good customer service. I can definitely recommend this guesthouse to friends and family. However, the breakfast was not up to par as most of the items we were expecting were out of stock.

Did not have water. Could not take a shower.

The owner did not buy coffee, we could not have coffee with breakfast the next morning. They had water interruptions while we stayed there.

Disappointing

Firstly we were met by the caretaker in pyjamas, the photo did not represent the room we booked. The outside chair was broken, the inside bench was broken, the shower was unhygienic and the shower head was broken. We only had one bedside lamp. The TV was blocked for almost all channels and we could not watch the sport or programs we wanted to. Whilst ask not to throw the tea bags into the toilet which is understandable they provided no Tea. The other guest we extremely loud till well after 11:30 pm every night. They also did not alert us to the fact that they were Halaal with their various rules which did not suit us at all. Sunday morning there was no running water, whilst I understand that the entire area did not have water, one would at the very least expect a guest house to have some sort of backup, at least to wash your face and flush the toilets or offer some sort of assistance with bottled/bucket water.

Value for money. Clean.

Well received. The room was serviced every day. Delicious breakfast daily is included in the price. Also very affordable.

Baie behulpsaam. Skoon en netjies.

Baie goeie ligging. Sal beslis weer daarvan gebruik maak. Plek is skoon en netjies en veilig.

Wonderful.

The stay was lovely. Close to the beach and restaurants. The staff is amazing and will definitely be coming back.

Ek was vir 'n operasie en het aangesterk by die gastehuis.

Diens was vriendelik, plek baie netjies. Het goed uitgerus na die prosedure. Ontbyt was elke dag presies dieselfde, sal aanbeveel dat bietjie van 'n variasie bedien word. Veral as mens vir 8 of meer dae inboek. Daar is DStv, maar slegs die goedkoopste pakket denkbaar. Ape het ook gepla soms, so vensters en deure moes heeltyd toe wees. Het wel veilig gevoel met veilige parkering. WiFi was heeltyd beskikbaar, behalwe met "loadshedding". Inverter is dalk 'n opsie om te oorweeg.

Baie netjies.

Lieflike gastehuis in 'n baie veilige area, vriendlike gashere en skoon kamers.

We had a beautiful stay.

Would visit again soon.

Uitstekend, netjies en vriendelik.

Baie skoon kamers, vriendelike gasheer en baie veilige woonbuurt.

Laat aangekom, lekker geslaap, lekker geëet!

Sien sterre.

Baie gelukkig met diens, baie gaaf!

Gemaklik en rustig, veilige parkering, vriendelike diens, baie lekker ontbyt!

Gerieflike, skoon akkommodasie.

Vriendelik diens.

Awesome value for money.

Highly recommended. Walking distance to beach, shops and very safe.

Good service.

Friendly staff, I enjoyed my stay, everything was lovely.

Great place to put your head down after a busy day.

The breakfast was good and hot. Lovely stay. Will be back should the need arise.

Comfortable, clean, central to all ammenities.

Guesthouse manager is a great soul, warm and welcoming. Cooks a hearty breakfast, more than enough to eat. Made us feel right at home and cannot fault her service or cleanliness of the rooms in anyway. Only thing that was a little bit of a surprise upon arrival was that the owners have restricted the residence to strictly halaal so no bacon or alcoholic beverages were allowed on site to enjoy a glass or red at night in the comfort of your 'home' away from home. You can of course go out and enjoy it at a diner or restaurant. Thank you for an enjoyable 5 days.

Aangenaam met goeie diens. Ongelukkig was een gas Vrydagaand baie raserig agv te veel kuier. Aan gehou van 02h30 tot na 06h30 toe ek maar besluit het om te ry. Die gasvrou het SAPS versoek om hom te verwyder.

Aangename en baie goed geleë verblyf.

Baie lekker.

Goeie diens ontvang tydens verblyf.

Nie wat die beskrywing was op webtuiste, maar nogtans gangbaar.

Gasvrou baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig alhoewel die agent/bestuurder wat my geskakel het nie professioneel was nie. Elke kamer het nie 'n balkon en/of gedeeltelike see-uitsig nie. Jy kan ook nie aandete bestel soos per advertensie nie. Eetarea is ongelooflik warm en die waaier maak net geraas maar nie koud nie. Ontbyt baie lekker en groot verskeidenheid maar geen bacon of varkworsies nie. Tuin baie netjies en swembad mooi skoon maar gaste mag nie 'n drankie daar geniet nie.

Great place to go to and relax, stuff very friendly and helpful we enjoyed our stay!

Everything was in order we enjoyed our stay, I would definitely go back.

Vriendelik, netjies, verskriklik gasvry, ontbyt is uitstekend!

Ons was harlik ontvang deur die bestuurder, sy is 'n aanwins tot die gastehuis. Gastehuis is netjies en skoon. Kamer en badkamer voldoende, netjies en skoon. Bed verskriklik gemaklik. Ontbyt uitstekend. Veilige en gerieflik.

Vriendelikke personeel, goeie ligging en baie lekker ontbyt.

Sal Ridgesea aanbeveel vir almal. Skoon gemaklike kamers, vriendelike personeel en ontbyt uit die boonste rakke. Naby aan al die restaurante en die see.

Pleasant and location is excellent.

My stay at Ridgesea was pleasant, place itself is lovely. The host is very friendly. Room setup was good. Was just very disappointed about the lack of Covid protocol that was followed on the premises and by the host. On arrival I was welcomed by the host with no mask and throughout the stay it was not worn. On 2 occasions we walked into the kitchen in which breakfast was getting prepared and it was done without staff wearing a mask. The owner needs to look at his fumigation services issues. We had these insects in 2 rooms and around the passage area. I did bring it to the host attention in which she said it was not there before but will inform the owner. Thank you.

Baie aangenaam en lekker gebly.

Ontvangs is uitstekend. Die personeel is 'n baie groot aanwins vir die gastehuis. Ek sal weer kom bly.

Stel nooit teleur nie.

Baie vriendelike en goeie diens soos altyd.

Awesome.

Sal dit beslis aanbeveel.

It was enjoyable.

We had a comfortable stay and the breakfast was good.

Dit was heerlik.

Personeel is baie vriendelik. Baie netjies en skoon. Die huis kan doen met bietjie opknapping rakende die verf, binne en buite. 'n Voorstel wat meer gaste sal trek is om skadunet-afdakke op te sit vir die gaste se voertuie. Tydens ons verblyf het ons en van die ander gaste juis oor die gebrek aan beskerming van jou voertuig teen die son en moontlike hael, gepraat.

Die verblyf was baie gerieflik en skoon en die gasvrou was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Die gastehuis self is baie warm en bedompig binne, veral die eetkamer waar ontbyt genuttig word. Die kamers is heerlik koel met die lugversorging daarin. Die eienaar moet dit dalk regtig oorweeg om 'n goeie lugversorger in die huis self te installeer wat die huis koeler en varser kan laat voel en ruik.

Goeie ligging. Regtig baie bly ons het by Ridgesea Guest House uitgekom.

Baie lekker gebly. Die gasvrou is baie goed en sy is so vriendelik en plat op die aarde. Die ligging was perfek vir waar ons wou wees! Die gastehuis is ‘n moet!

Friendly, fun and peaceful.

Service with a smile, delicious breakfast, clean all round inside and outside. Beautiful place to enjoy a breakaway.

NET 'N PLESIER

BAIE SKOON EN NETJIES

Die personeel is vriendelik en baie hulpvaardig. Dit was heerlik om daar te bly.

Die ontvangsdame is baie vriendelik en gaan uit haar pad om jou welkom te laat voel. Die kamers is netjies en gerieflik.

Baie lekker kuier. Ons het tuis gevoel.

Desiree en staff het ons baie welkom laat voel. Kan nie vensters en skuifdeure oopmaak nie! Diefwering is 'n moet met die apies asseblief.

Baie lekker met vriendelike personeel.

Risgesea guest house is 'n aangename plek om te bly. Die personeel is hulpvaardig en bedagsaam. Ek waardeer die feit dat klere was, deel van die hele pakket is. Ligging is fantasties.

Excellent.

Excellent value for money. Friendly service. Very neat.

Perfek.

Het saam met my vrou gekom vir Comrades 2019. Lekker gerus voor en na Comrades.

Niemand om ons te ontvang, het sleutel by sekuriteitswag gekry, wat ook toe in die huis in die sitkamer geslaap het, met die TV die heel nag aan.

Geen gasheer/-vrou beskikbaar, het sleutels by sekuriteit gekry, hy het ook in die sitkamer geslaap (wat naby aan die kamers onder was), en het die heelnag die TV aangehad.

Teleurstellend.

Kussingslope was geskeur en daar was geen handdoekrelings nie. Ongelukkig was ons 'n week later weer daar bespreek en kon nie die verblyf kanselleer a.g.v die kansellasie beleid nie. Ontbyt word ook eers van 8 uur af bedien, geen spek/vark word bedien nie.

Ons het baie lekker gebly en die ontbyt was werklik vullend en aangenaam.

Ons kan met eerlikheid Ridgesea aanbeveel. Die personeel was altyd vriendelik en behulpsaam. Dit was definitief waarde vir geld, geen wonder so baie mense maak gebruik van die gastehuis nie.

Heerlike verblyf.

Kamers baie skoon. Kos was baie lekker. Sal dit aanbeveel.

Het gevoel of ons by ou vriende kuier. Eienaar baie vriendelik.

Het dit terdeë geniet en sal weer daar oorbly.

We thoroughly enjoyed the time spend at Ridgesea Guest House - home away from home.

We were treated like royals and received an upgrade at no charge. We enjoyed the hospitality and the food was great - truly an enjoyable experience.

Gasvrou baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Gastehuis is loopafstand van strand en veilig. Personeel is vriendelik en behulpsaam. Gasvrou het uit haar pad gegaan om ons te akkommodeer. Kamer is skoon en ontbyt bedien op jou versoek.

The guest house was warm and had a farm feel.

See stars.

Enjoyed everything, very professional, excellent staff.

Loved it. Will definitely come back.

Great place.

Nice place, friendly staff Felicity and Sipho and the two ladies made us feel at home. Great breakfast.

Was baie verwelkomend.

Felicity was ongelooflik met diens gasvryheid en omgee. Ons sal vir seker dit ons jaarlikse vakansie-stop maak.

Felicity really gave us platinum service, also Mpumi and other lady.

The staff really exceed the expectations, location, safety excellent, breakfast good.

Value for money!

Home away from home. Well equipped, friendly staff, and the best breakfast!

Value for money!

Will definitely stay there again when in the area. Comfortable well-equipped rooms, and breakfast is the best!

Very good value for money and friendly service.

The staff was very friendly and the breakfasts were delicious. Felicity went out of her way to make our stay pleasant.

Excellent staff.

Everything was on point. They just need to improve the breakfast menu.

Great property with very nice rooms. A bit of gunge in the tile grouting needing attention but a great spot with amazing breakfast.

Would definitely stay here again. Fabulous facilities and staff. Just be aware that the property also caters for a Muslim clientele and is a no go zone for alcoholic beverages. Great spot with great staff and a good Umhlanga option.

Ons het lekker gebly, die kokkerotte en miere in die kamer het ons net afgesit.

Die ligging van die gastehuis was perfek, maar ons was bietjie geskok toe ons twee groot kokkerotte in ons kamer kry. Daar was heeltyd swart miere wat in die badkamer en kamer was. As jy kos vir 2 minute neersit is daar miere. Anders as dit was die diens baie goed, mens het dadelik welkom gevoel. Die ontbyt was ook goed.

I liked everything about the place.

Everything was perfect, owner was so friendly and welcomed us properly.

Fantasties.

Ridgesea is 'n baie lekker plek om te bly in Umhlanga.

Puik diens en baie gasvry.

Met aankoms het ons dadelik welkom gevoel. Diens was puik!

Fantasties!

Ek en my ma het baie lekker gebly en die ontbyt was heerlik! Die atmosfeer rustig en die huis stil. Sal definitief weer gaan.

Uitstekend.

Dankie vir netjiese en gerieflike verblyf. Die personeel is vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die ontbyt was heerlik. Ons sal definitief weer volgende keer by julle bly.

Dit was baie aangenaam.

Op pad na Ridgesea het die eienaar gebel om te hoor oor hoe laat ons gaan opdaag en oor hoe laat ons ontbyt wil hê. Ons het na 06:00 opdaag en my afspraak was 07:00. Ontbyt word eers later bedien, maar sy het vir my 'n toebroodjie, jougurt en vrugte in die yskas gelos. Ons ervaring was baie positief en kan die gastehuis aanbeveel.

Voel soos by jou eie huis.

Die gasvryheid was besonders goed, die gasvrou was baie behulpsaam. Ons laat tuis voel van die oomblik toe ons daar aangekom het, voel soos familie. Gasvrou gaan uit haar pad om jou te laat tuis voel. Ons sal definitief weer kom kuier. Min plekke bied wat hierdie gastehuis bied en dit is hul besonderse gasvryheid. Baie Dankie, jul verdien 'n 5 ster en meer.

Uitstekend

Ons het heerlik gebly by Ridgesea, alles was perfek en dit is baie naby aan die see en restaurante. Hier is enige versoek nie te veel gevra vir die bestuur nie. Ons was verras met blomme en 'n heerlike koek toe ons vertrek (dit was ons 1 jaar huweliks erdenking).

Vriendelike, gerieflike oorslaapplek.

Ricky was baie dierbaar om ons vroeër in te laat. Ons kamer was kosteloos opgegradeer na 'n groter kamer met bad. Die ontbyt was heerlik. Blare het op die swembad gedryf wat swem in die hitte bemoeilik het. Die foto is misleidend, want daar was geen see-uitsig van enige kamer af nie. Veilgheid met 'n motorwag was baie goed.

Perfect holiday place for husband and wife and family.

Perfect place for resting for holiday. For breakfasts delicious! Felicity gave us very good service and care! Also close to the beach walking distance. And to shops in Umhlanga. Lovely, enjoyed. Excellent, recommend it. Also some advice that I found with the cleaning of the rooms that they use a very strong chemical not sure what they use to clean. It's just too strong for us! But everything was excellent!

Sal dit beslis aanbeveel.

Mooi, rustig en gerieflik. Die bestuurder en werkers is baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Ontbyt is heerlik en top diens. Dis geleë naby die see. Minuut se ry of loopafstand as fiks voel. Baie oulike plek en mense.

Uit die boeke.

Felicity is 'n groot aanwins met haar vriendelikheid en groot hart. Sy het uit haar pad gegaan om ons welkom te laat voel en allerhande ekstra goedjies vir ons gedoen. Die ligging is perfek en loopafstand van alles af. Sal beslis weer gaan en dit aanbeveel vir enigiemand om daar te bly.

Totally stunning, management made you feel like being at home away from home.

Relaxing and felt like home from home.

The establishment was safe but I did not like the bathroom setup ─ no privacy

Totally loved where it's situated.

Baie geniet.

Felicity het ons baie bederf met die lekkerste ontbyt ooit. Sy het uit haar pad gegaan om ons welkom en tuis te laat voel. Ons sal definitief weer daar tuisgaan.

Great host, great environment.

The host was so accommodating that she checked us in earlier that usual as we got to Umhlanga earlier than expected. The breakfast is to die for, the room and house, everything was clean, even the pool. It's a 5 star experience on a budget.

Dit was wonderlik!

Ons was toegelaat om 'n uur vroeër in te boek as die aanvanklike tyd. Die ontvangs was wonderlik en het gevoel of ons by ons huis is! Die personeel se gasvryheid het alle perke van dienslewering oortref!

Baie netjies, vriendelike personeel en baie lekker ontbyt.

Sien sterre.

Onpersoonlik. Ek het die gasvrou op die derde dag ontmoet vir 5 min.

Daar is geen persoonlike aandag. Ek kon nie my rekenaar vir twee dae gebruik het nie omdat niemand die WiFi-kode geken het nie. Die gasvrou was nooit beskikbaar nie. Ek moes self die TV se remote se batterye vervang, niemand om mee te bespreek nie. Die eiendom kom verwaarloos voor. Sitplekke by swembad is stukkend. Buiteligte lê op die grond. Tuin verwaarloos. Baie swak ervaring.

Nice place, good staff but not enough hot water for large group.

We had fun, all of us. Thanks

Baie netjies en gerieflik met veilige parkering.

Dankie vir netjiese en gerieflike verblyf. Die personeel is vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die ontbyt was eersteklas. Ons bly graag weer volgende keer by julle.

Fantastiese plek. Sal aanbeveel.

Sien sterre.
