A room with a spectacular view is merely one of the grand features of Fairlight Beach House.

If you want to wake up with breathtaking sunrises and be so close to everything a beach can offer, right on your doorstep, I suggest you stay here. On Saturday morning we saw clumps of surfers bobbing up and down, waiting for that perfect wave, whilst kayaks were gliding further out to an, at times, glassy sea, with the odd jet ski and fishing boat whooshing past and a host of ships awaiting their turn in Durban Harbour on the distant horizon. Families were braving the surf just a few meters away from where scuba divers were popping up every now and then amongst the rocks to the right. Joggers and people going for walks along clean streets, on their own, with a friend, or even whole families (including prams) were a constant sight. During the day kite surfers were most entertaining, whilst security checked up everywhere on the parked cars along the little esplanade. Despite all the constant commotion, there was no annoying noise at any time, perhaps because the sea is just too close and drowns any unwanted noise? There are shower facilities on the beach and every now and then one could hear a friendly "Howzit!" exchanged between someone below on the beach and the owners/residents of Fairlight. The breakfasts were regular, yet with so much variety to choose from, it is your own fault if you find it monotonous. And then there is the secret coffee blend that you will have to ask Colin about. My 14-year-old son and I will definitely be back.

Kan nie nader aan die strand kom nie en baie luuks.

Die ontbyt was fantasties, die kamers baie luuks. Die ligging is perfek, die deel van die straat is stil, maar binne loopafstand van die winkels en restaurante. Kon nie vir 'n beter ervaring gevra het nie.

Beste gastehuis ooit.

Dit was fantasties om by ‘n 5-ster-gastehuis te bly wat waarlik al 5 hulle sterre verdien. Colin en sy span was altyd gereed om enige versoek te hanteer. Dit is duidelik dat die familie die plek uitstekend instandhou en dat hulle trots is op die familie besigheid.

Een aand is te min.

Ons was bevoorreg gewees om een aand by Fairlight te spandeer. Netjiese, skoon en ruim kamer met 'n mooi uitsig vanaf die balkon. Stapafstand vanaf die naaste restaurant. Buurtwag is baie aktief en patrolleer die straat.

Goeie ligging en gesellige atmosfeer.

Goeie ligging en gesellige atmosfeer. Dit is jammer dat daar nie 'n klein yskassie in die kamer was nie. Vir die prys behoort daar so iets te wees. Die gras rondom die swembad-area was onversorg wat afbreek doen aan die algemene netheid van die plek.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Good location and a convivial atmosphere.

It is a pity that there wasn't a bar fridge in the room. For the rate charged there should be something like that. The grass around the swimming pool was unkempt which doesn't do the general neatness of the place a favour.

Beste Danie,

Ek is so bly u het u tyd by Fairlight geniet.

Ons het yskassies in die kamers gehad, maar gaste het hulle afgeskakel vir hulle kameras en selfone te laai, en die yskaste het ontvries en groot skade in die kamers gemaak.

Die grasperk by die swembad is omtrent twee weke gelede geplant omdat ons die hele swembad vervang het en ons wag net dat die gras redelik vat voordat ons dit sny.

Groete,
Beulah

Pragtige verblyf met 'n uitsig wat skrik vir niks!

Baie mooi, stylvolle gastehuis in die hartjie van Umdloti, vreeslike vriendelike eienaar, hy het ons baie welkom laat voel! Weereens gevoel of ons by familie kuier! Verskriklike mooi uitsig oor die see, stap net oor die strand om daar te kom! Ongelooflike lekker ontbyt met enigiets waaraan jy kan dink om te eet! Geen moeite ontsien!

The owners, management and staff are the real gems here. They went out of their way to accommodate us, even though we had some difficult "situations". Then there is the location, the rooms and the atmosphere, all of which are stunning and really beautiful.
