We as a family had a nice holiday. We really like St Lucia, and try different accommodation each time. Manzini is well located and we had a nice holiday. Had a few issues the 1st day or 2 but the host sorted it out quickly. Manzini is close to everything and has a lovely swimming pool and beautiful gardens.

Ons as gesin het lekker vakansie gehou. Ons hou baie van St Lucia, en probeer elke keer ander verblyf. Manzini is goed geleë en ons het lekker vakansie gehou. Het 'n paar probleempies gehad die 1ste dag of 2, maar die gasheer het dit vinnig uitgesorteer. Manzini is naby alles en het 'n heerlike swembad en mooi tuine.

It's was clean. It was good. It's just that we were not welcomed very well.

Delicious and affordable. Now that was a nice vacation. The owner is very nice and helped us nicely no matter when we called him. It was neat and affordable.

Heerlik en bekostigbaar. Dit was nou 'n lekker vakansie. Die eienaar is baie oulik en het ons mooi gehelp, maak nie saak wanneer ons hom gebel het. Dit was netjies en bekostigbaar.

Wonderfully private and very well located - close to river and shops. Was able to get to all the places we wanted to see easily and quickly.

Heerlik privaat en baie goed geleë - naby rivier en winkels. Kon maklik en vinnig by al die plekke kom wat ons wou sien.

Thoroughly enjoyed and had a nice stay. Pool is great! Will be happy to visit again. Manzini is beautiful and well cared for. The pool is the best! Had a little trouble with the stove and oven, but otherwise there is nothing we can complain about. See you again soon.

Terdee geniet en lekker gebly. Swembad is wonderlik! Sal met graagte weer kom kuier. Manzini is pragtig en goed na omgesien. Die swembad is die beste! Het bietjie gesukkel met die stoof en oond, maar andersins is daar niks waaroor ons kan kla nie. Sien julle binnekort weer.

Great holiday! We had a very nice stay. The chalet has everything you need. And it's walking distance to the town and shops. The complex is neat and the pool is amazing! Colin, the owner, is very friendly and made sure we were happy.

Heerlike vakansie! Ons het baie lekker gebly. Die chalet het alles wat jy nodig het. En dis loopafstand na die dorp en winkeltjies. Die kompleks is netjies en die swembad is amazing! Colin, die eienaar, is baie vriendelik en het sekergemaak ons is gelukkig.

It's clean, maybe just needs a bit of maintenance, but value for money. My only complaint was that the cleaners sweep or spray the stoop very clean, however they spray other people's dirt, till slips, plastic wrappers into the flower beds in the front of the unit. I have a two year old that kept on picking up other peoples rubbish out of the flower beds. Maybe they should scoop it up instead of just sweeping it outside into the garden.

Great stay. Very nice stay. The place has everything you need and the nature is wonderfully beautiful. It was nice to see the wild animals just like that from our porch.

Heerlike verblyf. Baie lekker gebly. Die plekkie het alles wat mens nodig het en die natuur is wonderskoon. Was lekker om die wilde diere sommer so van ons stoep af te sien.

When I arrived there was no one to be seen to give us the keys, however, I was early and had phoned and made arrangements. I asked the ladies where the office was and they told me that they only worked in the laundry and pointed to the direction of an office which was empty. The place has cockroaches and needs to be fumigated. The automatic gate did not work as I got up early to go fishing only to find another guest that was berated as the security could not open the gate manually and had gone to buy airtime. I assisted in opening the gate manually so we could get out.

Hi Ridwaan, Thank you for the review. We do apologize for the inconvenience. You mentioned you arrived early, and that is when you gave me as the owner a call, and you were attended to immediately. No prior arrangements were made with me; check-in is at 14:00, but we still accommodated you despite your early arrival, and it was no issue to assist and get the lady down to assist. The ladies at the laundry do not run my units; hence they would unfortunately not know about your early arrival as you did not arrange this prior to your arrival. There is a sanitizing and deep cleaning that we do to protect our guests; hence the check-in is typically from 14:00. Neither myself nor the ladies cleaning were informed of the cockroaches, of which I would have been notified immediately(this is a complimentary service included to our guests ) you had my direct number. I would have attended to it immediately. I inquired if everything was in order, and you confirmed. I advised you, as I do all my other guests, that I am always available if any problems should come up. Just for the sake of clarity, due to the ecological environment, there are two different types of cockroaches down the coast, one that flies and one that walks. Unfortunately, I have no control over the flying ones. The unit has also been fumigated twice since this review. As for the gate, I do apologize. There is an issue with the wiring, and this has also been attended to. The security staff has also been addressed as that was unacceptable. We value your input and have attended to the matters at hand. Kindest Regards, Colin

Hallo Ridwaan, Dankie vir die resensie. Ons vra om verskoning vir die ongerief. Jy het genoem dat jy vroeg opgedaag het, en dit is toe dat jy my as eienaar 'n oproep gegee het, en daar is dadelik na jou omgesien. Geen vooraf reëlings is met my getref nie; inklok is om 14:00, maar ons het jou steeds geakkommodeer ten spyte van jou vroeë aankoms, en dit was geen probleem om te help en die dame af te kry om te help nie. Die dames by die wassery bestuur nie my eenhede nie; daarom sal hulle ongelukkig nie weet van jou vroeë aankoms nie, aangesien jy dit nie voor jou aankoms gereël het nie. Daar is 'n ontsmettings- en diep skoonmaak wat ons doen om ons gaste te beskerm; dus is die inklok gewoonlik vanaf 14:00. Nie ekself of die dames wat skoonmaak is in kennis gestel van die kakkerlakke nie, waarvan ek dadelik in kennis gestel sou word (dit is 'n komplimentêre diens ingesluit vir ons gaste) jy het my direkte nommer gehad. Ek sou dadelik daaraan aandag gegee het. Ek het navraag gedoen of alles in orde is, en jy het bevestig. Ek het jou aangeraai, net soos al my ander gaste, dat ek altyd beskikbaar is as enige probleme opduik. Net vir die duidelikheid, as gevolg van die ekologiese omgewing, is daar twee verskillende soorte kakkerlakke langs die kus af, een wat vlieg en een wat loop. Ongelukkig het ek geen beheer oor die vlieëndes nie. Die eenheid is ook sedert hierdie hersiening twee keer berook. Wat die hek betref, vra ek om verskoning. Daar is 'n probleem met die bedrading, en daar is ook aandag daaraan gegee. Die sekuriteitspersoneel is ook aangespreek aangesien dit onaanvaarbaar was. Ons waardeer u insette en het aandag gegee aan die sake onderhande. Vriendelike groete, Colin
