Property is old and run down, the curtain and light fittings were barely hanging on the walls. The doors were difficult to open and close, let alone lock. Outdoor area was dirty and clearly has not been cleaned or maintained for months, we dared not use the pool. There was also alot of animal waste on the grounds. I’m surprised the lawn was even mown. The games room had a pool table , in terrible condition, a ping pong top on the other , with equipment that looks like was picked up by the side of the road. If I was there with my wife & daughters , we wouldn’t have stayed an hour.

Ok for a quick stay

Perfect location for beach “staycation” adventures only 4 minutes away. We stayed one night, I can’t imagine you’d want to stay longer if you wanted more comfort. Definitely an old place with extremely flat pillows & we had a kettle base but no kettle. For a quick stay though, the aircon was cold, the shower was hot with great water pressure. Room clean but dated. Didn’t try the pool because we stayed all day at the beach and ate out hence only looking for a bed over night.

Hospitality the worst.

There was no one in attendance during the hours they promised reception to be open. I had to look long and hard for a phone number to raise someone. When I did, the phone message said no one is in attendance and a message could not be left. That is the worst feeling I have ever had in arriving to a place. Other aspects are: crack in the bathroom basin; no soap-holder in the shower; toilet lid cracked; bathroom fan too noisy; no Queen bed as booked, instead a double; sliding door to balcony difficult when attempting to slide; no box of tissues; roof structure above the balcony had its roof missing; only one bedside table light; some furniture missing creating a big 'hole' in the room; lighting was awful. The whole thing was substandard.

Not enough security cameras, not enough control, the quality of people were very disrespectful, they were ding dong ditching all hours of the night, people were very noisy didnt do anything about it. False publicity interms of the entertainment areas, the pool table was a joke, all cue sticks had no tips the pool table was MDF and not stone. The swimming pool water was dirty and nobody did anything about it, my son got a rash after swimming in the pool water, our room television didnt work, my refridgerator was leaking and had terrible temperature control. In conclusion I would never recomend to anybody about staying the night a Seaside garden retreat Wamberal.

Very outdated. Curtains randomly hanging on whatever hooks are not broken. Dogs barking all night from people walking up and down all night. Pillows were so thin they could barely be called pillows. Cockroaches in the room.
