My colleague and I stayed at Manaar House for the first time and were bowled over by Tina's warm welcome and her professionalism. From offering to move our car up the driveway to making a dinner reservation on our behalf, her hospitality was impeccable. She made us feel welcome right from the start and it was a pleasure to stay... More

I stayed for just one night and found the hosts very friendly. The B&B is not particularly central but it's in a quiet neighbourhood. The room was very comfortable and the bathroom was huge! Breakfast was good quality and served early enough for me to get to a 8am meeting. A lovely setting and just wish I had had time... More

We recently stayed for three days at Manaar house, as we were over from the UK for a wedding and wanted the less formal surroundings of a guest house as opposed to a swanky hotel and stuffy formality. We weren't planning on spending much time there so it seemed the perfect solution. The weather was unseasonably bad but the comfort... More

The Manaar House offers service levels rarely encountered in top Hotels.Jack is the consummate host, with Mark and Tina ever in the background. Our 4 days in Umhlanga Rocks provided the perfect springboard of relaxation before the rigours of the rest of our holiday. The proximity of the M4 freeway was an advance concern but in fact it had little... More

Arranged to spend 3 nights in Umhlanga and selected the Manaar House from previous reviews - we were not disappointed. Our room accessed directly to the pool/breakfast area in a well sheltered part of the property. The pool is enclosed with an impressive display of flora and the whole is kept scupulously clean. The room included a standard double bed... More

We spent 3 days at Manaar House during our first ever trip to SA, and nothing was too much trouble for Mark, Jack or Tina. We'd booked it based on previous reviews, and can confirm that this property deserves all the "excellent" ratings it's received.

A rewarding start to our holiday. B & B hosts Jack, Mark and Tina were on hand to advise without ever being intrusive. Privacy if required, congenial, informative company if not. Though reasonably familiar with the area and previously devotees of the Oyster Box, we chose to stay away from the big hotels. Instead Manaar House was selected from the... More

We spent ten days at Manaar House as a result of a word-of-mouth recommendation from a family member. Tastefully furnished in a secure location a few minutes drive from the beach and town, we extended our stay there from our original planned week, and it was one of the highlights of the entire six-week trip.
