Have stayed at uShaka guest manor on two occasions in two years. On each occasion I planned a short visit and ended up having to change my flights after deciding to stay on for a few extra days. All the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. Luca deserves a special mention! He has made each stay extra special, going way... More

We travel a lot and I was really worried because some guesthouses / lodges advertise that they are a 5 star facility and when you get there it is only a 2 / 3 star and it doesn't look anything like the photo's. However at Ushaka Manor upon arrival we were greeted warmly by the staff. They made us feel... More

After a long flight from UK we were greeted warmly at the airport by Danita & Charmaine and this friendly personal service carried on throughout our 7 Night stay. The rooms were lovely, just as described, maid and laundry service were also first class. Breakfast again was excellent and very peaceful overlooking the pool and lush garden areas. Easy walk...

I cannot praise Ushaka enough, everything from the facilities to the location is excellent but where Ushaka excels is the level of service provided by Danita, Charmaine and Luca. Nothing is a problem and you are made to feel at home here. I have been fortunate with my work to travel around the world and stay in many hotels but... More

I moved from noisy Morningside to find a quiet place for a couple of nights. This was luxury at a good price, and within walking distance of the Umhlanga Rocks beachwalk and eateries. The lUmhlanga Laggon Reserve at the north end (just after the Breakers Resort) makes for a coastal forest walk onto the beach. Danita and Charmaine took good... More

I stayed for a week at Ushaka and found the service, location and room lovely. I don't really eat breakfast so I can't comment on the food, but there was a big selection. I found the monkeys that run sometimes sit on the balcony rails charming, it adds to the Africa feel. The place has great security and the owner... More

It's my fourth time at this guest house. The location is very good because it's closed to shops restaurant, promenade and the ocean. The staff for me is very familiar, always kind, helpful. The room I usually choose is Buffalo, it's a very big suite with all the comforts. The breakfast is served on a patio just close in the... More

uShaka Manor is situated in a very nice area of Umhlanga Rocks and very near the village centre. The Rooms had 5 star amenities like a Jacuzzi Bath but the balcony area ,although spacious , needed cleaning and re-furbed.That area was not up to 5 star standard. Breakfast very good in a nice patio setting overlooking the pool. Pool needed... More
