Below average.
Owner and staff were very friendly. The property is terribly neglected and I could clearly see that little to very little maintenance has been done for a very long time. Fortunately, the location was very good. I was very disappointed that a place with so much potential is so neglected and that basic maintenance is not even done.

Beautiful view from the deck, but the place is very outdated. Staff were friendly. Definitely not 4 star.
Bentley On The Beach 's response
Dear Carol,
We have enjoyed a very busy season after a scary start due to adverse beach publicity. The only complaint we received is from Carol Jordaan. They booked during Covid so got a greatly reduced tariff. All the other guests paid the full tariff and thankfully had no complaints. I had friendly chats with the Jordaans during their stay and sadly these issues were not raised. Since these were minor issues I certainly would have attended to them straight away. They did tell me the previous place they had come from was lacking in maintenance. I explained that most tourism accommodation establishments had suffered for almost 2 years with dramatically reduced income and huge costs during Covid. Perhaps most maintenance was put on hold. I explained that we too had been under pressure but still we have completed about 90% of our maintenance, albeit we still have a few things to do as maintenance never ends.
Here is feedback on her complaint;
The fan was switched off at the plug because the air-conditioning was available and working.
The bedside lamps are ceiling spotlights with a switch on either side of the king bed. We should have pointed this out when booking in, which is our usual practice.
We do apologise about the towel rail which somehow slipped our attention as it
was in for repairs, this has been attended to.
The broken toilet seat was immediately replaced.
Instead of placing the soap on the soap rack in the shower it exists, where people might not see it, we prefer to place it on the bathmat at the shower door.
We thank her for bringing these matters to our attention and new staff have been trained in this regard.

Really not pleasant, not for the price.
Sink cracked, toilet seat broken, serious urgent maintenance required. Light switch next to the shower! Not even a bottle of water in the room, 2-point plug sitting behind the bed, not cleaned there for years. Leaving early the next day, thanks for the packed lunch because we didn't have breakfast, but the apple was rotten.

I am so embarrassed, My handyman/plumber, arrived to change the cracked basin and light switch cover. I spoke to him on arrival. I didn’t know he had gone off ill. He is so reliable. I took for granted that the room was ready as my staff would have cleaned up after the plumber. I apologise profusely and would be grateful if he would accept a complimentary room as an apology.

Eben and his wife arrived (a lovely couple). They had booked a small sea-facing room. On arrival they said they would prefer another larger sea-facing room, we were able to make the change. They appeared very happy. I spoke to them on arrival and every morning, they never indicated they were dissatisfied. I am sorry as I most certainly would have attended to any concerns.

Wonderful location. You literally walk across the road to the beach. Our bedroom had a full sea view. You can even hear the waves breaking from your bedroom.
There are only a few things that need to be upgraded, such as the bath and shower room. It's neat but lacks a modern feel. Otherwise, the bed linen, cutlery and room were very clean. Wow and the view was heavenly! Will definitely book my room again.

Pretty. But nowhere near the photos they advertise. It was shocking how different the two were. There are funny people all night in front of the place in the street. Plus there were people who seem to use room for hour and drive. Plus there was only staff on arrival. The doors are not locked either.

We stayed overnight at Bentley on the Beach on a Saturday and were very pleased.
The view from our room on the sea side was beautiful. The patio with swimming pool is ideal for lazily relaxing and enjoying the sea view. Our room was well equipped, nice and big, clean and tidy, and comfortable. All equipment was in good working order. The variety at breakfast was a bit limited - no fruit - but nevertheless pleasant and well prepared. It's luxury accommodation in a luxury neighborhood very close to Umhlanga Rocks, and the price reflects that, but in my opinion it was worth the price for a nice treat.

Receptionist, poor service, cleaning ladies very good service, place needs attention, not a 4 star.
Photo is deceiving of guest house, the owner's house next to the guest house, the breakfast is nice but basically the same every day, no variety. The place needs work to keep it up to standard for 4 star. The sun loungers on the wooden deck are broken. I would not recommend Bentley, not until upgrades and restorations are done. Curtains in room D are torn, hanging piecemeal on rails.

Arrival friendly, pay more attention to cleanliness and kitchen staff.
Microwave was dirty on arrival and not cleaned for 4 days. Front door gives problems and balcony door cannot close at all. Curtains are missing 3 hooks and hang completely askew. Kitchen staff come to take order and bring the wrong food every morning, talk so loudly and make incredible noise while working. Good for overnight but won't be able to stay long.
