Wish I knew ahead of time!
Our visit to Uvongo and Uvongo Beach Front (Standloper) brought a few disappointments. We specifically asked during the discussion if the water quality in the area was acceptable, and we were told yes. However, it is sad to say that this is not true at all. Our entire family of 5 was seriously ill, and it was clear that others in the area were aware of this problem. We bought water and even brushed our teeth with it, but we couldn't escape the Natal germ. Four other families (and friends) in the area between Manaba and Ramsgate were also all ill. I realize that this is not the fault of the accommodation, but when one pays almost R50 for 11 nights' accommodation, I would think honesty about this situation is important. The apartment itself was spacious with an air conditioner, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer which was a big plus. The lounge sofas were not very comfortable, and one sofa was even broken. The caretaker changed it, but the "new" couch was also in bad shape. The furniture on the porch, including the table, chairs, and couch, was rusted. This can be understood because the seaside atmosphere, but we would still like to sit comfortably outside. The location of the accommodation is ideally close to the beach with easy access. Riki, the hostess, was very friendly and helpful. She allowed us to leave later that day when we had to rush to take my son to the doctor. I really hope that Natal works on their infrastructure in the coming year. shall we go again I'm not sure, it's a very sad situation.
Wens ek het voor die tyd geweet!
Ons besoek aan Uvongo en Uvongo Beach Front (Standloper) het 'n paar teleurstellings meegebring. Ons het spesifiek tydens die bespreking gevra of die waterkwaliteit in die omgewing aanvaarbaar is, en ons is gesê ja. Dit is egter hartseer om te sê dat dit glad nie waar is nie. Ons hele gesin van 5 was ernstig siek, en dit was duidelik dat ander in die omgewing bewus was van hierdie probleem. Ons het water gekoop en selfs daarmee tande geborsel, maar ons kon nie die Natal-kiem ontloop nie. Vier ander gesinne (en vriende) in die gebied tussen Manaba en Ramsgate was ook almal siek. Ek besef dat dit nie die skuld van die verblyf is nie, maar as mens amper R50 betaal vir 11 nagte se verblyf, sou ek dink eerlikheid oor hierdie situasie belangrik is. Die woonstel self was ruim met 'n lugversorger, skottelgoedwasser, wasmasjien en tuimeldroeër wat 'n groot pluspunt was. Die sitkamerbanke was nie baie gemaklik nie, en een bank was selfs gebreek. Die opsigter het dit geruil, maar die "nuwe" bank was ook in 'n slegte toestand. Die meubels op die stoep, insluitend die tafel, stoele, en weber, was verroes. Hierdie kan verstaan word a.g.v. die see atmosfeer, maar ons sou steeds graag buite gemaklik wou sit. Die ligging van die verblyf is ideaal naby die strand met maklike toegang. Riki, die gasvrou, was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Sy het ons toegelaat om later die dag te vertrek toe ons moes haas maak om my seun na die dokter te neem. Ek hoop regtig dat Natal aan hul infrastruktuur werk in die komende jaar. Sal ons weer gaan? Ek is nie seker nie, dis 'n bitter hartseer situasie.

The pictures don't justify the beautiful views.
We had such a lovely holiday at this unit. The pictures don't justify the beautiful views of the sea, the sunrises and the sunsets, the magnificent sounds of the ocean. Absolutely relaxing atmosphere, we had great times on the patio which is larger than we expected and we had some fantastic braais with an overwhelming sea view. Our little one also enjoyed and loved every moment! We will go back anytime!
Stunning, beautiful and clean.
Absolutely stunning unit. Clean and I would like to book the same unit very soon.

Peaceful, beautiful, would go again.
Really enjoyed. Safe and beautiful. Just take your own towel and toilet paper. I expected these basics to be included in the booking.
Rustig. Mooi plek. Sal weer gaan.
Het dit baie geniet. Is veilig en mooi. Vat net jou eie handdoek en toiletpapier saam. Ek het verwag dat die basiese goed deel sal wees van die bespreking.

Well.
Was fine except for the fact that my deposit was not refunded. Contacted them several times.
Goed.
Was goed, behalwe vir die feit dat my deposito nie terugbetaal is nie. Het hulle verskeie keer gekontak.
