We loved our stay at Anchor's Rest. The owner's are very hands-on and personable. They make you feel welcome right away. The rooms were lovely and comfortable. They were very accomodating and helpful in every way. We definitely will stay at Anchor's Rest if we return to Umhlanga Rocks in the future. More

The rates are very competitive. Lovely setting. Very tasteful decor. Not at all busy or noisy, no children which makes for a good rest. Peter and Cilla are wonderful hosts. Walking distance to the Village, not far from the beach. Definitely will return! More

More important even than that was the warm welcome I received from Cilla and Peter, they really do give you a warm feeling as if they are old... More

My husband and I went to Umhlanga because he promised me a nice beach stay in the middle of a winter trip in South Africa. We had an absolute lovely time. The owners gave us fantastic recommendations on restaurants and we can not say enough about how relaxing and lovely this stay was. More

Amazing place. Great hosts, great rooms, great set up, great breakfast. Location is perfect right in downtown Umhlanga. We stayed only one night as we were heading to Sani Pass but it was wonderful. Rates were reasonable and everything was perfect. I cannot find one thing that this place can improve on. STAY HERE!! More
