I had a great stay, will definitely go back again.
I would recommend that something be done about the sound between 2 apartments. You could hear your neighbors talking. The braai places were also a problem, couldn't use them at all when it rained. Will think that maybe a roof should be put over it.

I am sorry to hear that the guest was disappointed with their stay, and would like to offer the following response. I sent the guest detailed directions to Toad Tree Cabins, which they chose not to use. Instead they used Google which took them to the rear entrance of our establishment - a road which is under construction.
Nomsa was waiting for the guests when they arrived at 11h51- an early check-in had not been requested. When they requested an alternative, Nomsa offered them an upgrade to a cottage, but they declined and then accepted Bandit Blenny, another 3 sleeper cabin. The load shedding schedule was sent to the guest each day. On a 4 night stay the bedding is only changed on request. The chlorine is in child proof containers and kept next to the pool.

Quiet, clean, and with all the necessary facilities.
One has a great deal of privacy because the layout, we didn't really know how many other people were staying there. The beds are decent, the shower water hot, and everything in the house worked. We only had one problem (our fault), didn't read the whole email which says at the bottom that towels are not provided - but they responded immediately and helped us out, so 100% satisfied. Just advised them to make it more clear to guests that towels are not provided.

Our accommodation as divers was convenient and the facilities were neatly cleaned every day. The kitchen is conveniently set out where you feel like you are in your own home. Braai facilities conveniently located near the cabins and kitchen. The cabins are comfortable with a fan for the heat and a bathroom.

Clean and tidy.
Units are very neat and comfortable - power is a big issue though (wasn't load shedding). The shower taps kicked us, and we couldn't shower, the one time we were able to locate the owner she mentioned that if this happens we have to shower with our patches. Power kicked off a lot at the power box that powers 4 units or a block - we looked for the owners at their home/office and couldn't locate them at all to deal with the problem.

Toad Tree Cabins 's response
Sodwana Bay is in a rural area with the usual power issues and illegal connections. Eskom were working on the power lines and they had apparently swopped the neutral and earth cables, causing a mild shock when using the shower. We immediately called in an electrician and this was sorted out the following day. We humbly apologise for the inconvenience and want to assure guests that we were constantly on the power problem and if we couldn't be found in the office we were always available on our cellular phones.

Not quite what was advertised.
The way to get there is very difficult and not easy for ordinary vehicles to drive. There is no indication of where to turn to them, except when you are already on the gravel road that goes to them. The road to them is a long stretch of sea sand and was very difficult for my Nissan Juke to ride there without worrying about me getting stuck. The place itself is not quite as neat as the photos, there are paint splashes on their curtains, the place is full of dust, as if it wasn't cleaned before we got there. They do not have extra blankets in case someone gets cold during the night. I confirmed by phone with the lady that we wanted to check in at 10:00, when we arrived there at 11:30 am they were not really ready for us.

Nie waarde vir geld nie, ek het bespreek vir 3 kamers en 2 mense moes in die sitkamer op 'n bank slaap! R2200 per nag (dis belaglik).

Not value for money, I booked for 3 rooms and 2 people had to sleep on a couch in the living room! R2200 per night (that's ridiculous).
We had to pay to access the beach, it was an additional R3400 for 10 days! (Wasn't mentioned to us ahead of time). Swimming pool has no stairs, one cannot get in and out, road is not made for normal vehicles. They service the cabins every day, but this does not include dishes, another R30 per day. It was not a holiday atmosphere, felt more like a retirement resort!

Hi Maxie, Thank you.
We value your feedback and are very sorry that you had a disappointing holiday experience and also sad as this could have been avoided. On our email of 25th October, I listed the KZN Wildlife entry fees payable at the gate, but if you had purchased Rhino Cards your total entry fee would have been R1530, half the cost. The 6 sleeper is listed on the Lekker Slaap site as a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom cottage with bunk beds or sleeper couches in the lounge. Thank you for doing your dishes as this really helped the staff to get through their work timeously.
Kind regards, Janice

Hi there Koos,
I am extremely sorry that your food was taken from your fridge. We have had fridges in the communal kitchen for 14 years without an incident, but because of your unfortunate experience, we have put a fridge in each cabin.

Extremely weak.
We could not enter on the road to the cabins because it is not a gravel road, it is a sea sand road. We had to find other accommodation and we had damage to our car from being stuck in the sand. The lady at the cabin was not helpful at all, she kept saying that she couldn't understand that we were stuck because her little car was driving through it. It's loose sea sand, it's like riding on the beach. We found a guy on the side of the road to help us. The service at the place was pathetic, we couldn't even drive in far enough to see what the place looked like inside.

Translate to English.
The overnight accommodation was neat, but very basic.
The sand road to Toad Tree Cabins is a narrow one-way road which means that one of the vehicles has to drive in reverse for some distance when there is an oncoming car. The wooden houses are small and dark and very basic furnished with poor lighting. The outdoor shower had nice hot water, but the reeds weren't quite dense enough in places for privacy. The kitchen facilities are adequate.
