Second visit. Super place for a family getaway, quiet, and only a short drive to Aliwal Shoal so can also be used as a base for scuba divers wanting more upmarket accommodation than that generally offered in Umkomaas. The dinners and breakfasts are great, with very friendly staff and family running the guest house. The luxury suites are fantastic, as... More

We stayed in Botha House during our honeymoon trip in South Africa. We were astonished by beautiful and luxury historical interior equipment. We spent there very relaxing time, enjoying amazing views at the ocean, homemade dinners at the terrace and what is the most important attentive service. We truly recommend this place.

Loved our one night stay here. Only complaint is that we should have stayed longer. Historic and beautiful house. Big rooms tastefully decorated with period furniture. Incredible views down onto the ocean. Immaculately kept throughout. A really delightful and interesting place to stay. Attentive and individual service. Highly recommended. More

On our 3 week’s trip around South Africa in September/October 2011 we – a private traveling group of 3 couples - spent two nights in the Botha House. From the beginning we were totally attracted by the magic of this historical building with its well preserved interior equipment. Not antiquated at all: comfortable accommodation, attentive service, having fine breakfast on... More

We have stayed at Botha House regularly over the past few years, every time we visit Pennington to spend time with family and grand children. On our last visit we finally managed to secure a reservation in one of the luxury suites. The standards at Botha House are always superb but staying in the luxury suite is an experience not... More

My 83 year old dad and I spend 2 fabulous nights at Botha House. Susanne and Charles were so kind and accommodating especially to my dad. The house is magnificent and our accommodation first class. We sat and watched at least 20 whales in the bay from the veranda of the suite and spotted many varieties of birds. We enjoyed... More

We spent a weekend at Botha House in October 2011. The house itself is beautiful - gracious and historical but at the same time very comfortable and allowing one to relax completely. We were lucky enough to have both breakfast and dinners at Botha House and the food and service (and wine) was excellent. The rooms are well appointed and... More

This is a beautiful house and the setting is great (albeit they are hacking down the forest along the coast for more development). The rooms are large and well apportioned and there is a great sense of history to the place in this peaceful part of the Natal coast. There was just one element that grated a little and that... More

We have stayed two night in this exceptional Guest House. The historical building is well preserved, with period furnitures in the rooms and ground floor space. Everything is very genuine, sometimes even not comfortable with characteristic smell of the old house. The view from the windows was stunning. From the one side ocean, from the other golf course. In the... More
