I recently stayed at the Gecko Inn Guest House for business in Richards Bay. I can highly recommend it almost gives a feel of "home from home". The staff are very friendly and the rooms are spotless. The breakfast is also excellent and good value for money.

I think that some people don't have respect for others and are just noisy but then nothing that I can blame them for or the Guest house. Also see if there is a way that the passage lights can go off if there is no one walking there. Motion switch?

Everything is perfect, rooms are excellent and service. One thing though, I was booked in room 41, if the shower head maybe change with other type, I think that will make showering perfect or enjoyable as the current head does not real regulate water well and due to the pressure of water, the showered water is painful when it gets to a body and is unbearable.
