The Brackens Bed & Breakfast — Hotel in KwaZulu-Natal

Our Flyball team from Johannesburg/Pretoria visited KZN for some shows at Shongweni.||We were warmly welcomed by our host James, who went out of his way for some VERY late arrivals (caught by a road closure on Van Reenens pass). The rooms were pleasant with nice homely touches. The spacious verandah with its occasional seating was a great gathering place for the team, and an early cold spell really made us appreciate the electric blankets in our rooms! The location is close to some very nice restaurants, and James had fantastic insider knowledge on where to go! ||This wasn't my first trip to the Brackens, and it definitely...

I’ll start with the only saving grace and that is the staff. They were lovely and understanding. Everything else was abysmal. The shower ran cold. The wifi dropped out a lot. The breakfast was sad though edible. The rooms were dated and not at all as pictured. The windows open out to the courtyard/pool area so there isn’t any privacy. No power points in the bathroom so good luck blow drying your hair after your brutally cold shower. The most dated furniture. And to top it all off I was charged ZAR 4000 for two awful nights stay. Don’t be fooled by the pictures. All this would have been bearable had it not been so...

Excellent accommodation and a very relaxed atmosphere! I had come over to Hillcrest from the UK to visit my very ill mother and brother. A very difficult trip indeed, however James, Wendy and the team were there to offer support and a wonderful base for me to unwind after several very difficult visits to the family!||||Thank you so much for everything!||Excellent breakfast||Excellent accommodation,||Excellent service||And Excellent customer...
