Lovely
Jean-Paul Schuller, Canada
28 March 2011
We only spent one night, but our room was very spacious and comfortable and overlooked the ocean and river mouth. We had driven a long way and so decided to eat at the restaurant. We were not disappointed. The food was delicious, and our hosts very accommodating. A lovely place to stay.
Really nice

We stayed at Umzimvubu for 2 nights. Our hosts were beyond excellent, the food was superb and our room was very comfortable. This is a place we will recommend to all of our friends, and definitely visit again. soon.

Our overall stay in Port St Johns was fantastic. As we had never been there before there was a lot to see and do. Our host at Umzimvubu Retreat (Dries) was most accomodating and had many suggestions for outings etc. The accomodation is clean and comfortable. The food is excellent at Umzimvubu. In fact in general we found the food in the area to be of a very high standard. It would have been better if there was more of a lounge area for guests, but I believe that they are in the process ... more
