About Sandals Guest House

Sandals Guest House, a thatched Guest House in Umhlanga decorated in an Afro-Caribbean style, is set amongst lush indigenous milkwood trees in the beautiful town of St Francis Bay in the Eastern Cape.

The idyllic village of St Francis Bay is one of the most picturesque seaside towns in South Africa thanks to the meandering canals and building style of white houses and thatch or black tiled roofs. In keeping with the architectural style, Sandals Guest House is white-washed and thatch-roofed on the outside, but the interior is more reminiscent of a Caribbean resort with its vibrant colours and tropical influences.

ACCOMMODATION

Accommodation in Umhlanga is offered in a selection of rooms. Sandals Guest House offers 11 spacious and individually decorated bedrooms all boasting extra-length beds and en-suite bathrooms with showers. 10 of the luxury rooms have sliding doors which open onto a private balcony or tropical garden for your comfort and relaxation. The ambience of this boutique guest house is a unique blend of superb hospitality, cuisine and service.

Please see the individual room descriptions and photographs below, to assist you with your choice.

Loadshedding Facilities

What is loadshedding? It refers to the temporary suspension of electricity provided by Eskom, South Africa's electricity provider, to reduce consumption and thereby the load on the national grid. To compensate, South African property owners are turning to solar power, inverters with backup batteries or in some cases generators to keep the power on, wherever feasible.

Verified reviewexcellent

This is our second stay at Sandals and it felt like revisiting friends. Iain and Ingrid's warmth and informal yet professional approach is pretty unique. The guesthouse is immaculate and the proximity to the village meant we could walk to dinner or the local shops quite easily. Breakfasts are a treat with something different on offer every morning of our five day stay- Ingrid and Lulu certainly have this taped! We hope to return to Samdals in 2015 and catch up with Iain and Ingrid over a welcome drink.

Verified reviewexcellent

I have to say that in all the different places we stayed in SA Sandals was by far and away the most desirable and the service from Lulu and the girls was second to none. Iain and Ingrid should be well proud of what they have achieved with their guest house and I reckon the excellent star rating is no more than is deserved. So, on behalf of Debra, Brian, Grace and myself I'd just like to say a huge thank you to you all for making our last week in SA such a truly memorable experience and when we return in the future, and we will, we'll be sure to give you a bell Iain. Cheers Stan
