We are not a luxury hotel and we have never tried to be. We are a simple, affordable, peaceful place to sleep, and some of the cheapest rooms in Mtubatuba, Hlabisa and KwaMsane. Your car in the yard, hot water in the morning. Every room and every bathroom, photographed as it is. Look before you book.
The bakkie and everything on it has to be inside a gate.
Your office will not pay without a reference on the invoice.
Weeknights are when we have the room. Send the headcount and the dates and we hold the block, one house or two, whatever fits. Own bathroom in every room, every yard takes the vehicles, and the pro-forma comes with a reference your office can file.
In most rooms, with a bar fridge. Ask for one if it matters to you.
A gym and a hall at Hlabisa
Both yours to use while you are staying.
A person at reception
Someone checks you in, whatever time you get there.
What you do not
No kettle in most rooms
Ask at reception and one comes to the room.
Breakfast is not included
It costs extra, and it has to be ordered the day before.
The TV is OpenView
Not DStv, so the channel list is shorter.
The WiFi is small-town WiFi
Free, and it drops when the network does. Bring data if you have to work.
No room service, no restaurant
There is a KFC and a Spar in town. At Hlabisa the Spar opens at eight.

Everything, from the staff, the bed, bathroom, parking. Everything was just perfect.
Nduh, Mtubatuba
I like the place was clean and quiet as I was expecting. Good communication with staff, and it is very safe. That is why I will come back again.
Mabuyakhulu, Mtubatuba
The hall.
Funerals, church meetings, workshops, training, birthdays. People use it for all of it.
It stands in the grounds, with the rooms a short walk away for anyone travelling in.
What it costs depends on the day, how long you need it and how many of you there are, so it is worked out with you rather than read off a board. Tell us what you are planning and we will tell you straight whether it fits.
If people are coming from far, they can sleep here the same night.
The oldest proclaimed reserve in Africa, and the reason there is still a white rhino anywhere. Memorial Gate is on the Hlabisa road, so from that house you are at the gate for the morning drive without leaving at four.
Hippo in the channel and a main street of boat operators. The closest thing to a tourist town out here, and close enough from Mtubatuba to go for the afternoon and sleep back at ours.
You have not stayed here before and you are about to send money to people you have never met. Here is every part of that, in the order it happens.
You pay half
Half the price holds the room. Card, EFT, or cash when you get here. The rest on arrival.
Or you pay nothing yet
Ask us to hold it and the room is yours for 48 hours. No card, no deposit. After that it goes back on sale.
In from 14:00, out by 10:00
Arriving late is fine. Tell us roughly when and somebody will be at reception.
Plans change
Cancel a day or more ahead and the deposit is yours as credit for six months, or back in your account less 10%.
Our banking details never change by message. If a new account number reaches you claiming to be us, it is not us. Phone +27 63 644 4444, speak to a person, and confirm the account before you send anything.
The most affordable quality rooms in uMkhanyakude.
Most people booking this are deciding whether to go out at all. R700, twenty minutes away, car in the yard, sorted on WhatsApp before you finish reading this.
The choir or the group is travelling and needs beds in one place.
You want the night to end somewhere better than home.
Tell us what it is and how many of you are coming. One room for the two of you, or a block of them for a group moving together. Own bathroom in every room, the yard takes the cars, and breakfast is there in the morning.
You have been driving since Durban and you are done.
You work between Mtubatuba, Empangeni and Richards Bay on your own money.
You get in late and you leave early.
Everything moving north stops in Mtubatuba, and we are on both sides of it. Book straight with us and you skip the platform cut, which is why our own price is under the one you found on Booking.com.
