Best hotels & accommodations in Richards Bay

The property is so great, and I won’t say much about the staff as I didn’t interact with most of them. But I was going to Richards Bay for the first time and I was expecting to get someone to probably tell me more about Richards Bay and the possible places I can go see.

I booked this hotel for my parents for a day shopping trip to Richards Bay. The room was clean and smartly appointed. My father is in a wheelchair and the room and bathroom were both perfect for him. Staff were friendly and helpful. However, my parents were staying in room 107 - and the noise coming from other guests in a lounge-esque area near the room was horrific....

My business partner and I just stayed at the Peermont Metcourt at Umfolozi - Empangeni. It was a nicely appointed hotel with a very modern style. There was plenty of secure parking and the rooms were appropriately furnished. The hotel still has a "new" feeling.

Also self catering shouldis also involve cleaning of the kitchen which is not done here

Not knowing what to expect, we choose Richards Bay because it cut off 2 hours of our journey north to our Safari. Travel books had discouraged stopping there as it is an industrial port. The Imvubu Lodge was a total surprise and we loved our time there. It was September and it was mating season for the Weaver Birds who build these intricate nests and you can watch them...

During arrival the welcoming was not good at all, and the door keys were lock me in the room and the is not contact to the reception eg no telephone to call receptionist no any form of accessed you can use to call receptionist or any one to help except shouting and still no one respond. In short I stack to that room for 40mins we thought a help. It was a very bad to be...

More about Richards Bay
One of the unique sides of Richards Bay is its industrial tourism. There are ample opportunities to visit mines and industrial plants that end up in the country’s largest harbor and the world’s largest coal terminal. In stark contrast to the industrial tourism is the eco-tourism. Richards Bay Game Reserve boasts some of the best wetland areas on the north coast of KwaZulu Natal. Forest areas, mud flats, and mangroves all add to the landscape and cater to a range of aquatic birds and wildlife. Fishing and surfing can be enjoyed, and so too can visits to art galleries and scenic drives through the countryside.
Accommodation options in Richards Bay are plentiful. Inns, lodges, and guest houses can all be found here. A couple of places to stay can be found near the airport while others are located between Mzingazi and the coast. Be sure to check out the interactive map of Richards Bay for information on hotel locations, attractions, and must-see destinations.
