“Great Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 November 2011

We stayed at The Beautiful South for 4 nights in the Umdeni Suite - it was very spacious with a very comfortable bed and a large bathroom - the shower pressure was fantastic! The thing we liked the most about Beautiful South were the people. Mina and Frederick were sooooo helpful and the morning team who looked after us for breakfast were great. We would not hesitate in recommending The Beautiful South.

“Overcrowded in a small area when full.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 March 2011

The room was under the eaves and had no air-conditioning, only a fan, and we had to climb a steep metal staircase, and the bathroom was across the small landing. The pool was very nice but the whole outside are was very crowded.

“Not for us”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 February 2011

We were very disappointed, there is no air conditioning, very small claustrofobic bedrooms (well the ones we had) and the breakfast again not in line with what we had at other b & b's. Great pool and relaxing area.

“Beautiful, relaxing and a well managed place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2011

We stayed here for two nights with my family group of 8. We all loved it. The house has real character and the pool and breakfast areas are so relaxing. The breakfast was good with "catch of the day" specials which was a nice touch. Peter and Alana ( sorry we missed you Katarina) were really really helpful and arranged restaurants, wine tours and recommended a safari etc which was magical and made our first stop in South africa such a fantastic experience. Thank you and all of your staff. Mike, Val & family

“Sunny and cheerful place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2011

person found this review helpful

We stayed for three nights at The Beautiful South. All staff was very friendly. The room is very Austin Powers, which is fun. We found it clean albeit a bit too small with hardly any space to hang cloth. As far as I know there are other rooms to choose from if you have to spend much time in the room. The bed was comfy. The breakfast was delicious, a cute idea is the catch of the day option. Ticked all boxes. We just got back and would stay again and recommend the Beautiful South to everyone who is after a sunny and cheerful place to stay.
