"I arrived on a very rainy late evening and Helen met me with an umbrella,and left the umbrella outside my room for my personal use.

The rooms are clean and well stocked with basic breakfast cereals which I found thoughtful. "

"The Crooked Tree is a lovely place and Helen made me feel very welcome. I had a good time and well rested break."

"Brilliant Honeymoon stop over."

The rooms have top finishes it would be fitting to call this a luxury establishment. At the rates charged I did not expect such upmarket accommodation.
I have stayed there twice now and will most certainly return there when next required.

"Warm, family - like welcome. Everything in place and all explained for the wary traveler. Soft beds/ warm water/ aircon, now that's heaven! Company with warmth and sincerity that will make me come back as a visiting, dare I say "family member"! Not 3 stars to you but 3 "WOW'S".

"

"Nice and modern, with great air conditioner. Excellent breakfast and well located."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Crooked Tree Cottage. The room was comfortable, the view was spectacular, the breakfast was extremely good and the owners were so helpful in answering questions about what to do and where to have dinner in the area. I highly recommend this accommodation."

"Crooked Tree Cottage is a lovely B & B with the most welcoming hostess! It is in a lovely part of Umhlanga & is close enough to everything but not too close! The rooms are more than sufficient in size & are all well equipped with air con & satellite TV. Any (minor) problems or requests we had were s..."

"Our host Helen Dehler was gracious, informative, helpful, available and kind.

Our bedroom and bathroom were spotlessly clean, exceptionally well maintained with soaps and creams available and nicely private.

Our breakfast was fabulous! Everything available on request, on time as arranged and Hot, exactly as we like it!

The area is lovely, the view from the clean, well kept balcony is great. An umbrella was made available for us as we left for an evening function in the rain, all these experiences added up to a wonderful weekend, in fact a 100% weekend.

Thanks for sending us to Crooked Tree and Helen, when in Durban we will definitely revisit this delightful accommodation."

"The friendliness of the hosts was amazing and the quality of everything was way above the average B&B, my wife and I have stayed in numerous B&B's around the country and this was a CUT ABOVE THE REST."
