Fantastiese familie-atmosfeer.

Ontvangs was baie goed. Ontvang deur die huishoudster wie ons verwelkom het met 'n koue glasie sap. Daar was voldoen aan sekere versoeke wat gerig was.

Great family atmosphere.

Reception was very good. Received by the housekeeper who welcomed us with a cold glass of juice. Certain requests that were made were met.

Don't have enough space to mention or show pictures of how filthy our house was.

1st we got moved to a shared suite while we actually booked 2 totally separate rooms (one top floor and one by pool). 2nd the place was filthy, mould in bathrooms, dirty bedding, dirty curtains (meant to be white but grey cause it wasn't washed since who knows, food spatter on roof! Wish I could show what windows look like behind stove and utensils, mugs and jugs not washed properly, rims and food still in and on them.

Ons het heerlik gekuier, netjies en skoon.

Baie sentraal geleë en Lindsay het ons baie welkom laat voel. Kamers is ruim genoeg en gerieflik ingerig. Bietjie min oppervlakte vir voorbereiding van maaltye, maar heerlike buitetafels vir bediening. Sal vir seker weer gaan.

Ons verblyf was baie lekker. Skoon en rustig. Die ligging is uitstekend. Dis naby aan die strand en restaurante.

Ek kan Selbourne Lodge beslis aanbeveel. Die air-con in die kamer was 'n groot voordeel en die bed slaap soos 'n droom.

Stylvolle eenheid met alles mens benodig.

Die gastehuis is sentraal geleë naby La Lucia en Westgate inkopiesentrums, Umhlanga Promenade en die M4-hoofweg afrit. Die eenheid het alles gehad wat ek nodig gehad om gemaklik te bly. Die kamer was elke dag skoongemaak tot die hoogste standaarde. Ek sal definitief weer daar bly.

Ek sal Shelbourne Lodge 100% elke keer aanbeveel!

Shelbourne Lodge het 'n fantastiese ligging en 'n pragtige see-uitsig van die kant af. Die kamers en badkamers is groot en die skeepsvaarttema is pragtig. Die eienaar is super vriendelik. Dit is ook baie veilig en ons woonstel was elke dag skoon gemaak, selfs op 'n openbare vakansie dag! "To say I was impressed was an understatement!". Die enigste ding wat ons woonstel nodig gehad het was 'n DVD-masjien vir die dae wat dit gereën het.

Stylvolle interieur! Die vriendelike eienaar het elke dag kom inloer en gehelp waar moontlik.

'n Mens kan heerlik ontspan in die eenheid of langs die swembad, maar hou maar 'n ogie oor kindertjies aangesien die swembad oop is. Die eienaar is baie belangstellend en tegemoetkomend, en maak heerlike ontbyt op aanvraag (teen ekstra koste). Die eenhede word daagliks opgeruim en skoongemaak, wat dit regtig na 'n vakansie laat voel! Daar is nie veel van 'n see-uitsig nie.

Decent place to sleep over for few days.

The place is clean and in a nice suburb, but the parking is too small if there are many guest booked in at the same time. So, overall it's a decent place.

Baie gerieflik, skoon en prakties.

Die enigste probleem wat ondervind was, is met parkering wat baie knap is. Die hitte-aanvoeling was ook baie hoog en die verhuurder sal die lugversorger voor die tyd moet aanskakel om die eenheid af te koel. Dit vat te lank as jy arriveer om dit dat eers aan te skakel.

This is a lovely unit but the customer service needs to be sorted out.

We stayed at Shelbourne Lodge during Indaba. This self-catering unit is adequate for a short stay. Clean and bright. There are only 2 rooms and at the time they were being booking separately. There is a well equipped kitchen although small and TV's in both rooms and in the lounge. Close to the M4 and also Gateway and La Lucia Malls. We would have appreciated a better welcome after a long drive. We arrive in the poring rain and were not offer an umbrella to get to our accommodation. The person greeting us stood watching under shelter while we struggled to park and get our luggage. We had hoped that there would be an offer of help with our very heavy luggage and would expect an establishment showing a 3-star grading on their own website to do so. I got the feeling that she couldn't wait to get away! Not sure I would stay here again due the steep stairs, the luggage problem, and the wishy-washy welcome. Hopefully this will be rectified.
