Great stay”
My stay at Cowrie Cove was great. The room was clean, spacious, and looked fantastic. The staff was beyond friendly, and I appreciated the easy access to the beach as well as short drive to the vibrant Umhlanga restaurants. If pets are not your thing then the hotel may not be for you. Otherwise the accommodation is deserving of it's grading.

Serene, Balinese bliss with a beautiful beach on the other side of a garden gate.”
Attention to detail is key. Cowrie Cove gets this right on so many levels. From the stunning decor, delicious breakfast, vast selection of teas and home baked treats at tea time, gorgeous Charlotte Rhys toiletries and delux bath mats. Cowrie Cove is a sensory sensation. One can only commend the lovely Caroline and the humble Qubus for ‘getting it so right’. We can’t wait to return. Ruth and David Tulip London UK

Pleasant and personal stay”
Our stay was great! The room was nice and cosy and the staff was really helpful. They drove us to Umhlanga when ever we needed a lift and helped us to arrange adventure tours in Kwazulu-Nathal. The beach next to Cowrie Guest House is beautiful and there is towels and beach mattresses to borrow.

Great b&b”
I was in town for a conference and all hotels near the ICC were booked. I chose Cowrie Cove because of the many positive reviews. The reviews proved to be spot on. Staying there was a true pleasure. There's so much to praise; beautiful setting, welcoming staff, luxurious room, etc.

Outstanding guest house - highly recommend”
Just stayed at Cowrie Cove for a fantastic 4 nights. Simply the best. Wonderful rooms - huge comfy beds & amazing bathrooms, lovely accommodation and grounds, great breakfast and honesty bar / teas, coffees available all the time, plus lovely grounds and quick access to the Indian Ocean. Caroline and her staff couldn't do more for you. Quite literally - even picked up items at the shops for us! Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you!!

Excellent service! value for money, homely!!!”
I enjoyed the stay at Cowrie Cove, you get personalised service from the owners and the staff in general, it's quiet aand private yet, close enough to all amenities in the surrounding area. the rooms are spacious and have exquisite finishing, the bed is superb and bedding is of high quality. real 5 star service and great value for money.

Lovely guesthouse on the beach”
Cowrie Cove is a beautiful house with its own path to the beach. It is not walking distance to shops or services, so a car or Uber is required. I had an elegant room with the one of the largest and fanciest bathrooms I've ever seen (and a great shower). The owner (and her multitude of dogs and cats) were very friendly and helpful. My only serious reservation is that internet access was slow and unreliable, to the point at which it was not possible to work from the guesthouse.

An excellent offering”
Beautiful b&b, wonderful large room (ground floor) with one of the best showers I've ever encountered! Open the doors onto a covered patio, and take a short walk down to a pretty much private beach. Breakfast was a mixed affair, plenty of choice but pretty weak service, with staff clustered in the kitchen talking amongst themselves. Cappuccino machine not the best I've seen... Overall excellent though, and I will definitely return.

Exceeded expectations!”
The rooms were nicely decorated, comfortable and quiet. The pool area is well maintained and relaxing. The private beach access was a major plus. The host offers everything you could possibly need for the beach, including mats, towels, umbrellas etc. The breakfast was also a huge selling point, with made to order eggs as well as a large variety of fruits, juices and cold cuts. I would definitely stay there again.
