The best holiday in the most beautiful place!
I can't recommend a stay at Umngazi enough, friendly, welcoming staff, beautiful rooms, glorious showers, delicious food and the list goes on. The children loved every minute too and the attention to detail is off the charts. The location is unmatched, offering endless beaches, river cruises, hikes and running trails. The gym was well equipped and perfect for a holiday workout. I loved the spa too, the therapists were great and it has the most unbelievable views. Take me back!

Overwhelming Experience
With Simbo we bookend and paid deposit and after a view days of confirming we were upgraded from river view to sea view honeymoon suite (thanks Umngazi once again). Honeymoon suite obviously comes with its own benefits which we could also enjoy like a private pool/jacuzzi area and private breakfast/high tea area. We felt welcome since we arrived until we left. The service is exceptional with very friendly staff up to Management. Breakfast and dinner food selection is great with lunch being a buffet with a huge selection. Excellent wine & alcohol selection. For me and the wife this was the ultimate Transkei/wild coast experience and a bucket list item a must go for anyone. Unspoiled area with an unspoiled beach. Only letdown: bacon and pork sausage served for breakfast are not from a butcher you can taste it is Eskort or Enterprise. No Wi-Fi at the rooms. Wood provided for the fireplace is wet. We ordered a private dinner with a sea food platter, don't get me wrong it was awesome and value for money for R600 per person however one will think they will serve a fresh crayfish caught at Umngazi rather than a lobster bought that was frozen for a while.

Faultless experience
We rated this family holiday as our best ever (mom, dad & two teenage boys). The location is breathtaking, and the hotel a real treat in terms of rooms, food and facilities. It's an outdoor enthusiast's paradise with unbeatable hiking, beach walks, kayaking and fishing. I'd like to particularly commend the staff on their catering to specific dietary needs. My vegan request was met with a variety of tasty choices at every meal. The drinks pricing was also fair which we appreciated. We loved our week at Umngazi.

Beautiful Umngazi
Our family recently spent 5 glorious nights at Umngazi. We drove there from Cape Town which was quite an adventure in itself. The roads in the far Eastern Cape were not great and littered with potholes, stop gos and animals. However arriving at Umngazi made the long, sometimes hair raising trip worthwhile. What a beautiful part of our country to visit. The staff were warm, friendly and helpful. The fully catered meals were mostly good and there was something at Umngazi for everyone. My husband and I enjoyed a sunset cruise one evening, a beautiful walk along the coast to Sugar Loaf and some stand up paddleboarding on the river. Our 14 year old had an absolute blast with the friends she met there and did not want the holiday to end. Our lovely, river facing family rooms were far away enough from the restaurant and main area to be peaceful. We enjoyed watching birds in the gardens and reading on the patio outside our room. I would highly recommend Umngazi Hotel especially for families with children.

Two happy customers
What a pleasure to give this establishment a review. Establishment is the best word to describe Umngazi Hotel & Spa. They have been there for many years and will be for many more, I'm sure. There is no reason to do a review, really. Umngazi speaks for itself. If you want the best holiday of your life, just book and go. You will also leave an excellent review. This applies to all ages, from the cradle to the centenarians. Only one word of advice - Go there hungry. In fact you should fast for a week before you go!

The most unique, wholesome, fun, family holiday spot in the country
There's a reason families return over and over again to this home-away-from home - it's so special that it's hard to describe. Everything offered is near faultless - the food is incredible, the facilities and activities on offer keep you wanting to return because you couldn't do them all. The location is stunning and the rooms are so comfortable - the beds and sheets are better than home! The staff are so warm and welcoming - the prices are so reasonable. Really couldn't praise this wonderful place anymore.
