Ansteys Beach Self-Catering & Backpackers

Great beach holiday stay!

I enjoyed everything.

Regte see vakansie vibes, baie chilled.

Heidi en Ashley is super vriendelik. Het ons tydjie baie geniet, letterlik een minuut van die strand. Die surfer dudes wat musiek gemaak het, julle is awesome.

It was wonderful.

The place is nice and has a clean environment.

Exceptional.

Exceptional and great.

Aaklig!

Met ons aankoms was ons bang om die perseel in te gaan. Dit het geklink asof ons in 'n nagklub ingaan. Ons voertuig wat ons gehuur het was nie veilig nie. Gaste se kinders het oral gepieps. Kamer het na hout en muf geruik. Die kussing en matras het gevoel of jy op ou sweet lê. Dit was walglik. Ek het die volgende oggend in my plakkies gestort. Warm water het gekom en gaan. Daar was eienaardige sakkies langs ons kamer. Jy kon nie in daai wasbakke jou tandeborsel nie. Ons het vir 'n paar aande bespreek maar het net 1 aand daar oorgebly. Ons moes allergex drink vir die gejeuk van 1 nag.

Fantasties, baie vriendelike personeel.

Alles was awesome. Vanaf aankoms tot vertrek. Ons was op hoogte gehou van alle aktiwiteite. Rustig en opwindend.

Value for money with great location.

Absolutely loved staying here! This backpackers accommodation is well maintained and is totally value for money. The location is a gem, just right in front of the beach, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Imagine waking up to the beautiful view from the terrace. The rooms are decent and clean. The toilets and showers are common to all guests and are clean. They do provide access to amenities like free WiFi, swimming pool and other recreational facilities like a pool table, TV, etc. They do have a self-catering facility with basic cooking amenities and utensils. At last, the staff there at the reception are very kind and friendly. Ready to assist you at any time of the hour. Really impressed with it.

Awesome.

Staff were awesome and friendly. Clean and neat.

Beautiful.

Thank you, a really nice, cosy, laid-back place.

Heerlike plekkie. Gemaklik en bekostigbaar.

Sal weer daar gaan kuier. Lekker naby aan die see en ontspannend.

Verskriklik lekker. Sou dit beslis aanbeveel.

Mens het tuis gevoel. Alles was netjies. Dit was 'n baie oulik plek. Naby aan die strand en baie veillig.

No comments.

Good place for family rest. I have enjoyed with my family.

Lekker plek, mense net baie ongeskik wat daar bly.

Geen terugvoer op vrae wat gevra word nie.

Very nice place.

We will love to visit again.

This place was Heaven on earth, their warm welcome, I wish I can stay there everyday of my life.

This place is so marvellous, I'll never ever search for accommodation in Durban I'll just go straight to Ansteys Beach Self-catering & Backpackers for booking.

Really felt at home.

The staff were amazing. Cool guys.

Heerlik.

Baie aangename mense en loopafstand van die strand af.

By die strand.

Goed ligging, by die strand, naby sakesentrum. Restaurant op die perseel.

Wonderful stay.

Safe and quite place.

Staff were very friendly and helpful.

A special thank you to Lance.

The water situation was bad.

I really didn't like the situation, I was sick because I got a toilet infection I think because there was no water in the toilets for some time.

Was daar vir die Comrades.

Parkeerplek baie min.

Glad nie tevrede gewees met skuif van eenhede nie.

Eenheid lyk glad nie soos op webtuiste nie.

Communal living not my preferred option. Room we stayed in was not very clean. Floor needs good scrub. Bad smell in the room.

The decor and general offering not very welcoming.

Matriekvakansie duisend.

Matriekleerders het hul matriekvakansie baie geniet. Beslis aanbeveelde vakansieverblyf.

Lovely place, well-kept and maintained. I love the quietness and Heidi’s Café.

Great location next to the beach and the variety of options the places have to offer to cater for each type of traveler.

Was aangenaam en op my gemak.

Die diens was puik. Geen probleme in my 12 dae se verblyf nie. Hulle was altyd bereid om meer te doen as wat verwag word. Sal enige tyd weer daar bly.

Dis 'n huis weg van die huis, vriendelik, hulpvaardig.

'n Droomwegbreek of net oornag bly sal nie spyt wees nie almal vriendelik en die eetplekke naby is wonderlik. Ek sal enige tyd weer terug kom en langer bly. Ek gee hul 'n 10/10.

Bair lekker naweek.

Baie netjiese plek sommer naby aan die strand. Vir my definitief een van die beste strande in Durban, baie rustig.

Worth the stay.

Stayed for one night only. Would recommend it. Close to the beach.

It was memorable.

Would have appreciated to have the bathrooms cleaned on a daily basis.

Baie lekker vir backpack en wegbreek.

My enigste negatiewe komentaar is dat die ontvangsdame onvriendelik was met ons, die ander ontvangs-outjie was weer 'n absolute vreugde. Baie mooi plekkie en mens kry waarvoor jy betaal en meer.

Great stay bru.

Enjoyed the stay a lot. Nice place and people. Great area.

Very good everything and the rooms were clean.

What I wanted was served well and the rooms were clean. The staff were very friendly and the communication skills very good.

Fulfilled expectations.

I stayed in the Turtle room at Ansteys for 4 nights over the weekend of 3 October. The room is quite small but as a single traveller basically just needing a place to stay while competing in a triathlon it was sufficient for my needs, as well as being well maintained and clean, with its own small enclosed outside area. Ansteys should be commended for the cleanliness of their well-kept communal bathrooms. The practicality of the Jojo-tank system at the bathrooms is fully understandable, although the occasional whirring of the pump, when in use, could sometimes be heard at night. The friendly and helpful staff were very accommodating and available from early in the morning till late at night. A sense of history combined with a modern touch added to the charm of the place. The deposit payable at check-in was refunded to me within 1 week of checkout. Thanks to the staff and management at Ansteys for an overall enjoyable stay!

The room was not up to standard at all.

The place is next to the beach, this is the good thing, but the room for R450 is like I was sleeping in a Zozo, bathrooms are far from the cabins. The kitchen arrangement needs more attention.

It needs renovations.

The place is dirty and needs work done ,the appliances in the kitchen don't work. The water shortage in times of covid? The communal bathrooms weren't cleaned every. Why? The sheets were clean which was the only relief.

The beds were very uncomfortable. The bed's condition is shocking!

I was not given the access code for the gate. WiFi password and no parking was allocated to me. It was tiring to fight and be inconvenienced over parking late at night. Thank God for the emergency numbers that were made available, otherwise I would have been in serious trouble due to staff incompetence. I mean simple administrative work like giving a person the gate access code was overlooked. Maybe make a small pamphlet for tenants with all the necessary codes.

Dit was regtig nou nie lekker nie. Dit is nie soos dit op die webtuiste wys nie.

Ek moes in-bel om te kla oor mense wat raas ens. Al wat hul gesê het is, jammer. Die volgende aand was dit maar net weer die selfde. En toe ek daar aankom vra hul my R2100, maar ek het my deposito betaal. Toe moes hul eers gaan kyk het. Hul groet jou nie eers reg nie. Kyk jou so snaaks aan.

Baie netjies en hulpsaam.

Ansteys Beach Self-catering was 'n heerlike bestemming en sal hulle aanbeveel.

Good.

Please consider the issue of the toilets they are far especially at night and bar fridges.

Lekker gekuier.

Sien sterre.

Peaceful and enjoyable.

The place was great and very neat.

Lekker. Naby strand.

Enigste bekommernis is veiligheid van buiteparkering. Alhoewel niks gebeur het nie is mens bekommerd.

Fantasties lekker gewees.

Vriendelike diens. Fantastiese plek. Kan mens rustig besig hou as jy nie kan gaan explore nie. Naby alles wat jy nodig het. Ongelukkig was daar 'n paar gaste wat dit vir ander en die personeel onplesierig gemaak het. Maar oral kry mens maar daai mense. Alhoewel ek al reeds my volgende trip soontoe beplan. Mal oor die plek.

Houtkamers, Wendys, in somer 'n groot nee.

Het 'n houtkamer wendy geboek maar die hitte was te erg moes upgrade na 'n aircon eenheid.

First time backpacking with friends.

Accommodation was clean and neat, comfortable pillows and mattresses, value for money. Just extremely hot inside the cabins and the stairs is a challenge especially if you have a lot of luggage. Onsite coffee shop with nice affordable breakfasts. Think backpacking is for the younger generation but it was an experience for all of us.

Glad nie happy nie.

Ek moes vir kamer betaal wat ]n aircon het, maar dit werk nie. Het gevra vir afslag a.g.v. dit, maar moes die volle prys betaal. Hulle sou gloterug kom na my toe oor dit, maar niks gehoor nie, want hulle het mos nou hulle geld ek het 'n dag vroeër gery en moes nog steeds vir die ekstra dag betaal.

Gerieflik, netjies and skoon.

Pragtige plekkie, loopafstand na strand. Baie skoon en netjies. Ons was apart van die backpackers-gedeelte so dit was lekker stil waar ons was. Ek dink net hulle kan gerus maar badhanddoeke vir mens beskikbaar stel. Ons het net een aand oorgeslaap ─ was daar vir besigheid ─ en dit sou net so veel meer geriefliker gewees het as daar badhanddoeke was, want dit vat nou soveel meer spasie op in jou tas. Maar verder is dit 'n pragtige plekkie en ek sal dit vir enige iemand kan voorstel.

Great experience and reliable staff anytime of the day. Thank you.

Great location, great staff overall. The whole experience was superb.

Baie netjies, skoon, gasvryheid en lieflik stil.

Weer eens baie dankie vir die lieflike personeel en werkers vir die wonderlike verblyf by julle. Ek het jul al klaar aanbeveel vir familie en vriende en sal enge tyd julle weer besoek.

Perfect!

It was great and I'll be back.

A real getaway and the surroundings are very tranquil.

See rating.

Neat.

My children had a very nice stay there. They loved it.

Goeie diens en vriendelike personeel maak jou verblyf net beter.

Die goeie diens en vriendelike personeel het vir my baie beteken. Ek sal weer hier tuisgaan en ek sal ook enigeen aanbeveel om van Ansteys gebruik te maak.

We enjoyed it so much. We can't wait for next year.

Very friendly staff and assistance. We loved the location and Heidi's cafe is the best restaurant in that area and we tried a few! The only thing I would recommend is washing the shower curtains and add table sinkers to the bottom of the shower curtains as it keeps sticking to you when you shower. If you take it away the floor is soaked, but other than that, this is definitely our go-to place for next year again.

Super awesome accommodation.

It was amazing staying there. The units are beautiful and clean and the guy who works there at night was so nice and so friendly. Thank you so much for being so friendly and helpful to my friends and I. This was the best accommodation ever. The guy who works during the day however was kind of cold. Please work on that. I really enjoyed my stay.

People at Ansteys are friendly and the place is quiet.

First of all the place is safe and very accessible. The level of customer care is very high you just feel like you at home and well taken care of and the privacy. For myself, I arrived in Durban late and I was a bit worried and they came to rescue, when I called they answered and assisted me with directions. The next time I will come with my family.

Baie behulpsaam en laat mens goed voel. Was bietjie vroeg daar en is dadelik gehelp om in te gaan. Was 'n great experience.

Dis 'n lekker informele plek met baie lekker mense wat help waar nodig is en 'n ekstra myl stap.

An enjoyable place for saving.

This is a very safe and enjoyable place which has value for your money especially if you do not have enough money. The only challenge is the shared shower especially for small children. Other than that the place is very tranquil and safe.

Skoon en netjies.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Alles wat nodig is, is daar. Net die gasstort wat min drukking het, en jou of verbrand het, of yskoud was, was 'n frustrasie.

Onvergeetlik, was kort, maar sal beslis weer terugkeer en langer bly.

Die eenheid was netjies en skoon. Die uitsig was ongelooflik en 'n oggend koppie koffie op die balkon het net so veel beter gesmaak met die skool dolfyne wat vroegoggend in die brander baljaar het. Ek sal net aanbeveel dat die plek dalk kyk om meer braaigeriewe te bou, want mens is mos nie altyd lus vir uit eet nie. Alhoewel, die restaurant Blue Dolphin op die strand seker die lekkerste kos maak wat ons nog geëet het.

'n Lekker ervaring.

Goeie diens. Voldoen aan al ons verwagtinge en meer vir backpackers akkommodasie. Die ablusieblokke was uitsonderlik skoon en netjies.

Hulpvaardig, ook na-ure.

Die trappe na die kamers is na 'n lang dag baie, maar verder baie rustig en lekker kalm.

Was die moeite werd.

Dis my tweede besoek by Ansteys en sal in die toekoms weer soontoe gaan. Die mense laat jou sommer tuis voel daar. Net jammer my verblyf was so kort.

Memorable.

We were a family of 14 people in total and we enjoyed our stay at Ansteys Beach. We've really received value for our money. We're planning to go back soon.

Awesome.

The picture says it all, it's true.

Lovely stay, but beds too small.

See stars.

At least have staff that clean the communal showers and toilets.

See rating.

Die kamers het geen pakplek gehad nie en was baie benoud.

Was bietjie benoud en kamer te klein. Geen pakplek vir jou persoonlike items nie. Badkamers was morsig. Niks seep en toilet papier in die badkamers nie.

Was die moeite werd.

Het dit terdeë geniet. Sal Ansteys kan aanbeveel as vakansiebestemming.

Baie gerieflik en netjies.

Baie lekker gebly, die eenheid is gerieflik en die lugversorger was 'n wenner in die warm weer. Staff baie behulpsaam. Heidi's Cafe op die perseel het ook heerlike ontbyt voorsien teen baie billike pryse. Nie eers 100 m van die strand af nie en kan sommer loop. Sal definitief kan aanbeveel en sal weer daar kom bly as weer Durban toe gaan, want is nog steeds naby genoeg aan Durban self.

Thank you, great place. Will go again.

I recommend it. View on the beach.

Good place to relax.

It's ideally located as you just walk to the beach. No stress of parking hunting. Lack of DStv was a bit of disappointment though.

Ons het dit baie geniet.

Ek wil net dankie sê vir die goeie diens wat ontvang is. Parkering is maar bietjie min, maar die ontvangspersoon het gesorg dat ons binne parkering kry en ons so geakkommodeer. Die woonstelletjie is pragtig en ons het lekker gemaklik gebly.

Great

No complaints.

Neat, clean and tidy

We will stay there again, excellent service from Michelle!

Place to remember with great memories

Ansteys Beach suitable for any occasion. Everything there is perfect, and they are so organized.

Fantastic!

Not enough braai facilities!

Thank you, we had a great stay.

Great location, close proximity to shopping malls and Durban. Clean apartments, good customer service.

Enjoyed our stay

We enjoyed our stay as it is situated at the beach front with an amazing sea view & so refreshing. A perfect holiday destination indeed. Just a few things though that we wish you had mentioned before our arrival: It is a bit inconvenient staying here without a car because the shops/restaurants are quite far (not within walking distance). There are no ATM's in the surroundings & there are extra charges if you make use of the swipe machine. Lastly, the restrooms are shared. Otherwise all was good. Thank you.

Lovely

A great getaway.
