This home is absolutely beautiful. Lovely old home with stylish decor, a big expansive garden with a large pool. There is a bit of admin involved prior to arrival (submission of relevant forms etc) but SO worth it and the managing agents do try make it as simple and easy as possible. The agents are responsive and accommodating. The house is kitted with everything you need, the beds are super comfy and the helper, Beatrice, is incredible. The estate is very secure. We were a group of 5 couples and we all loved our weekend here - just wish we could have stayed longer!! Highly recommended and would definitely stay here again.

We booked a 3 night stay. Half the stay was without electricity. There was an inverter but no solar panels and therefore inverter could not charge itself. There was an electricity issue in the area and KZN in January is unbearable without an AC. Notwithstanding the electricity incident the place was lovely and great for a big family. It has large communal places for family to interact and play games. The pool is also incredible. It’s heated and the kids really enjoyed it. The helper Beatrice was remarkable, always available and was helpful.

The house is absolutely stunning! Our gripe was not being able to communicate with the housekeeper properly as none of us spoke Zulu. Our linen was not changed for the entire length of our stay and we had to ask for our towels to be changed. The main road which runs alongside the house is rather noisy. Other than that, we had a wonderful stay and I would highly recommend this home.

What a wonderful family holiday we had at Beverley Homestead. The house is just amazing, as nice as they are, the photos do not do it justice. The bedrooms are huge and the beds and linen are super comfortable. Kitchen is a dream to use, coffee machine was a lifesaver, the pool and surrounding gardens are magnificent. I would return in a heartbeat. Do not hesitate to stay here, we will most definitely be back soon.
