AI Summary
Located centrally in Umhlanga Rocks, Anchor's Rest provides clean, spacious rooms with comfortable beds and friendly service. Guests enjoy a lovely pool, well-kept gardens, and convenient access to local attractions.
Arrived here after a long flight from UK. Property is set in lovely tranquil gardens and is a great place to relax. Our room was very nice. Property is located a short walk from good restaurants and bars. Peter and Cilla were very welcoming. Would highly recommend staying here.

Apart from being allocated the Cheetah room as opposed to the Yellowood room our booking was confirmed for, we were impressed with the quality of accommodation, offering secure parking albeit a little tight, and the location which is well within walking distance of Umhlanga Village. Although we did not take the breakfast option or make use of the pool and bar, we would highly recommend Anchor's Rest as an ideal establishment for a short stay.

Unexpectedly quiet and relaxed in the middle of town. Friendly staff, clean. Best free PR: Peter, the owner, acting as a breakfast ceremony master. Clear recommendation!
