Guest house a Pietermaritzburg

“My stay at The Living Collective was more than awesome. The lodge exceeded my expectations in every way”

“Amazing one night stay. Upgraded at no additional cost ”

“Our only gripe would be potholes en route but that is not the owner's fault & hopefully will be remedied.”

“Really enjoyed our stay, Trevor and his wife is so friendly. Really friendly and so helpful. They really have the most beautiful view and so peaceful! Would use them again in the future!”

“I booked a room for my daughter to spend with her baby on her first birthday. I was away in the UK and asked the lodge if they would be able to put roses and champagne etc. in the room. And leave a birthday message from me. Lisa provided it all and made it so special for them. And had balloons and cupcakes with candles at the breakfast table. I’m so thankful to her! She went above and beyond what I expected. My daughter said it was the perfect setting to spend her daughter’s first birthday. And...

“Beautiful property with lots of space and fresh air. Very comfortable accommodation. Loved seeing all the animals.”

“Wensleydale Lodge is a gem, loved staying here.”

“Was good”

“It was good but the tv remotes were non functional and the room had no bed side lamps.”

“I was worried about the power issues in South Africa and I thought I might be impacted at this location but the guest house had power all night. ”

“We were there to book in at 14:00 when we could book in, our room was not ready! It was not cleaned yet and we had to get ready for a wedding!! We had to wait till 14:50 till they were done cleaning and had to be atvthe wedsing T 16:00. We had to do our make up outside in the heat and was sweating because they were busy and we could not so it in the room with the aircon on. I had to rush doing my and my daughters hair. We were not impressed at all!”

“Great staff”

“The stay was ok as the location was convenient for the function I was attending. I had to pay extra for breakfast which I dont recall from the booking. The carpets were were shabby as was the 2 seater couch. The bed linen was clean! I was given a family unit. The space was awkward to move around due to the sleeper couch and 2 seater couch.”

“Place was beautiful. However I am disappointed as the shower was terrible. Being Gas powered the water was ice old or extremely hot for 15 seconds. Ive reported the matter the person in charge of which I received no apology and i was told that the shower will be working perfectly the next morning. And not to my surprise it was not working. The water had sand as per the pics i will upload. The shower was ice cold and both my kids are now ill from standing in the shower waiting for hot water...

“The service was not so good ”

“We booked and paid fully for family room and we did not get it they said it's already booked and person at reception promises us to get some refund as we used small room. Still waiting for that money to be refunded.”

“I regret booking this place, it’s very dull and needs a lot of maintenance, the wardrobe was outside our room, how in earth do you expect people to keep their clothes in the wardrobe placed on a passage where everyone has access on? There was no dustbin in our room and the toilet, I was not even told where the kitchen was, I booked for 2 people, but there was one glass, one towel for the entire 2days. We didn’t have the remote for the gate, so everytime we had to go out we had to phone because...

“The property was nothing like what was advertised. No swimming pool, no water, very dirty place. Old cars parked allover the place. I felt very unsafe in that place.”

“Roaches running around place smell and Dirty was dissatisfied experience ”
