The room is big and clean , but does not have any view. The hotel in a good and active area, staff are nice and welcoming. Breakfast is poor , if you choose to stay overthere you can take your breakfast at any restaurant arround. Overall is good.

Great lodge in Umhlanga (Durban).

The Flamingo Lodge was great! Just a few minutes walk to Umhlanga Rocks beach and the famous Whale Bone pier. Surprisingly, it is really close to the Umhlanga action and restaurants, but peaceful inside. The Staff was great, they were quick to do anything that needed doing and had access or instructions for the various activities in the area. They even helped out with the 2 year. I will certainly stay again!

Beautiful private area. Very warm and welcoming hosts. My friends and I booked to stay on NYE, best decision ever as it’s a walking distance to the village &beach. I’d definitely book there again.

Lovely Place

The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. They were around for anything needed and have ready answers for questions about the area and transport etc. The rooms are clean and comfortable, I had a great stay there. Location is good, depending on where you need to be. Safe area and restaurants nearby.

Umhlanga Stay

Good facility, issue was that the aircon control was not operational, had to use the ceiling fan. Situation of this particular room which was off the lounge area was not great as you are awakened by the people getting the breakfast ready

Decent guest house

Despite unusual driving directions provided on the hotel's website we managed to find this place by using a GPS app downloaded to the phone and pulled in to the security gated parking area. We lugged our suitcases up the stairs to the foyer and looked for a member of staff. After a few minutes we found someone in the kitchen who was surprised that we were there. We were given a welcome drink of juice as we signed in, then lugged our suitcases back down the stairs as we were on the ground floor (advice to folk - leave the bags in the car until you know where your room is). Our room was spacious with a great sitting area, kitchenette and double bedroom. Our son was sleeping on the sofa bed which was neither the most comfortable nor the least that he has had in a hotel. There's an honesty bar and we had a gin and tonic and shared a bottle of water whilst playing a game on the balcony upstairs. This was queried by the owner the next morning and we still don't know why. Breakfast was good with fresh fruit, cooked breakfast and coffee/juices etc. My wife wasn't well and the owner was really helpful in finding us a pharmacy to sort her out. Hooray for pharmacists across the world.

Personal and friendly service

I enjoyed the hotel very much. The owners were very friendly and the hotel had a personal touch. There was an "honesty bar", where you could get a beverage and write it down in the book. They even washed your car while it was in the parking area. I would be very happy to come back.

Great Value in Umhlanga

We decided to have a quick get-away before year end and Flamingo lodge was great. It's walking distance from the Beach and Restaurants. Their breakfast is very good and staff very friendly. I would definitely recommend this lodge to friends and family.

Great B&B

My 11 year old son and I had a brief stay in Flamingo Lodge and thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff are friendly and helpful and the room clean and equipped. Excellent value for money and very well situated close to the beach and the village.
