86 guests' feedbackLouise made sure that the house was well-prepared for us. There were two gas braai stoves and two cooking stoves (one for gas and one for electricity). The pool was clean and had a safety net for the kids. All bedrooms are equipped with working air conditioners. The housekeeper was friendly and very helpful. She made sure we understood how everything works.
Louise and Meagan were very friendly and answered all my queries promptly. House is very clean and spacious.
This stay was the perfect location for safety and enjoying the North Coast. So close to shopping centre. Loved all the pools and easy beach access.
The house is not very well maintained and cleanliness can be improved. It is very good value for money though. The Zimbali management association rules are excessive and I am not likely to stay in the estate again with a large group. It is way too restrictive. Should update description, rooms do not have king-size beds as shown on their website.
There were loads of fun activities, including the golf cart which we thoroughly enjoyed. The host, Louise, was very helpful and saw to our needs. Everything was in abundance. Will definitely recommend the place to others and will be booking again soon.
Will use the website again, was very easy to book and pay.
We had a great stay and had a great time, wonderful place. The communication was very good and we felt at home. Thank you very much for letting us enjoy your place.
Met all our needs perfectly.
Zimbali has been a place I try to get to every year for years. The security measures at Zimbali increased so much on this last visit that it was really unpleasant. Tenants' access is so restricted that some of the great advantages of coming to Zimbali no longer exist. The major detours that have to be driven to the west gate, and beach gate access being taken away are deal breakers for me as far as Zimbali is concerned. It's a shame because I'd love to stay at 13 Yellow Wood again anytime as it's a fantastic place.
Location was perfect. House had everything one could need. Was one of the best places we have ever stayed!
Just keep it up, access to the beach was an issue as we could not access the beach.
The stay was wonderful, and the place beautiful, but far from the entertainment - like an hour's drive to uShaka Marine, the mall was close by though.
Beautiful, calming, clean, I love the space and the fact that each room has its own bathroom. The hosts were friendly and accommodating and made sure we were comfortable. I will definitely be back.
Louise was a very good host, she responded quickly to all our requests. Checking in was smooth and she allowed us a late checkout as we were travelling back home with late flights. I recommend her services to everyone around me. We enjoyed each and every moment.
No problems at the house but the checking in, entering and exit process at the resort was very frustrating. This must change for a better experience.
Exclusive excellent views private location. Marqeee area.
The place is beautiful, the view is excellent.
We were a family of 12 adults and the home was fantastic. All rooms were perfect, the house has absolutely everything one needs. The owners were extremely helpful and accomodating. We would love to return in the future.
Very safe location with great view of the resort. Men really enjoyed it and the service we received was excellent. Will definitely use the accommodation again.
The helper was rude and didn't act like she wanted us there. Numerous times when we greet she will not respond at all. We had to use the same wet towels for 3 days because she didn't clean our rooms nor change the towels. The agent was cheeky, impatient and rude at times while we were trying to check-in. Honestly, their service was terrible. I loved the house design, the pool and all the bedrooms had balcony.
Please improve on the access to the premises especially after traveling a long distance to get there. The owner of the house is the sweetest and available to assist, the house was big enough for all 14 of us and kids. I would recommend this place over and over minus the security.
Enjoyed from 1st day to the last. Very friendly people, helpful and understanding. We felt special.
The house was spacious and was wonderful for both our kids and parents!
This large home can accommodate up to 12 guests and has a lovely entertainment area with a pool and sea views. There is a large interior entertainment area, and a covered patio with pool, and an additional patio at the back of the house. 6 bedrooms, all en suite, provide accommodation for a large group. This house is ideal for family groups, there is an upstairs lounge area and an additional downstairs TV lounge for the kids. The home owners were gracious hosts, and we can highly recommend a holiday at this home. We hope to be back.
This establishment is value for money and great for a big family.
See stars.
The house is very well furnished and located, we enjoyed it very much and would definitely recommend it for family holidays.
Stunning place, amazing!
Braai place was dirty and no clear instructions to use utensils. All adults must have ID, which is not required ahead of time and does not ring painful entry registration. One TV not working.
The experience of the house and the surroundings is special and worth experiencing.
The owners house was nice, but when you check in they don’t come with a pre-checklist and they are not there to welcome you and give you the required safety checks.
We will definitely go again!
What an incredible experience. Will definitely go again.
We had a disappointing stay. The house was full of cobwebs, there were dirty dishes packed away in the cupboards and 2 cracked glasses in the cupboard, there were no golf cart keys and no water downstairs in the 3 bedrooms. The photos are not a true reflection of the actual home. I think they were taken a while ago.
Beautiful home, well-maintained, we wanted for nothing.
Great location, good space and great view. Very rare to find a 6 bedroom house each with their own bathroom.
The location was great and felt at home in the house. House was equipped and lovely, security is great and there is few nice places to relax and eat, overall I would go back for another getaway, really enjoy it.
The only issue was the cockroaches. They should maybe just take a look at that, but otherwise it was really very nice.
From the outset we were impressed with the house and what it had to offer, and we were certainly not disappointed. The owners of the house are extremely approachable and very appreciative of them. We are an extended family and have made wonderful memories at 13 Yellow Wood. Thank you very much for having such lovely places at our disposal.
The house has everything one can expect in a 5-star place, breathtaking. Owner (Louise) is helpful and friendly. Our family vacation was excellent.
We had a wonderful time at 13 Yellow Wood. The house is comfortable, clean and owners are helpful and friendly.
The stay at 13 Yellow Wood was everything we expected and more. The house was neat and clean at all times. The owner immediately helped us with any queries we had. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would go back any time.
Comfy and cosy. Loved it.
The arranging with Louise and Martelle was fantastic and regular. The lady at Zimbali reception wasn't very friendly, but we forgot about that when we arrived at the house! Wow! Amazing!
Beautiful surroundings. A lovely luxury home. Even though it is a little way from the sea, you can still hear the sea. We wish there was time for golf.
This house has everything you need to have an awesome holiday! Well equipped kitchen, lots of rooms, breathtaking sea view and the Zimbali Golf Estate is amazing!
It was very nice and we had a lovely time.
We are a group of friends who visit Zimbali every year and it was our first time at 13 Yellow Wood and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The house has everything you need and the fact that each room has its own bathroom was definitely a plus. We chose to use the gas stove and oven (we got the electric hob and oven downstairs) and especially appreciated each morning's beautiful sunrise and the beautiful sea view from the spacious balcony.
Excellent service, nice and centrally located. We had a great stay and had a great time.
We spent our last few days of holiday here and what a highlight to end our holiday with. This house has everything you would need and the setting is incredibly beautiful. Thank you very much Louise for your hospitality!
The house is very beautiful and suited our family perfectly.
We really enjoyed our holiday. The house was very nice and very big, enough space for everyone. Zimbali is a lovely place with lots of things to do.
The cleanliness could improve. The worker not very thorough and friendly. The ramp is a big problem. All the rooms should have dressing table to add hair and make-up. Other than that, everything is perfect. Lovely surroundings and beautiful view. Good value for money.
Full marks to the hosts Joppie and Louise - very friendly, polite and accommodating.13 Yellow Wood is a fantastic 6 bedroom, fully equipped house, ideal for large group/family. We were 5 families staying and all of us without any second thought wanted to stay for long as we felt staying 3 nights weas short. Zimbali Estate is "the" place to be with good facility for kids and adults. Will definitely recommend this to friends and come back again!
Our stay at Yellow Wood was wonderful! Would definitely recommend and will visit again myself in the future.
Great environment with lots of activities. The onehid is spacious and it feels like you are away from the hustle and bustle of the hectic world in which we find ourselves.
I will book 13 Yellow Wood again, it is centrally situated and though there were 12 family members present we were never in each other's way! Clean, professionally welcome by staff member - the weekend was just too short! Thank you!
The place is well kept, and the service offered at the resort was exceptional. The resort offered the exact service and environment we were looking for.
Really enjoyed it, thanks, was wonderful!
We really enjoyed our stay at 13 Yellow Wood. The house is comfortable with children especially seeing that there is a pool net and sliding door to close the stairs. Nosipho the maid was excellent!
Excellent service, accommodation and area. Best service ever! This will become a yearly thing. We just love Zimbali. An unforgettable experience. Thanks so much.
We really enjoyed our stay at 13 Yellow Wood. The rooms were comfortable with lovely sea views and beautiful bathrooms that contained everything we needed and more. The kitchen was fully equipped, nothing lacking. Would visit again.
We will definitely book there again.
Dusty, cobwebs, chipped crockery, dirty windows, broken couch, dirty bath tub.
Nice house, nice view, just very disappointed in the Zimbali Resort (overdeveloped), plus no Wi-Fi and no hair dryers.
Our September visit was a joint birthday party (60 and 68 years) with family coming to Zimbali from South Africa, London and Australia. A great time was had by all and it was so refreshing not to be overtly concerned about safety and security during our stay. The accommodation was 'spot on' for our requirements and a specific and non-negotiable request for pool netting was addressed prior to our arrival ( a 3-year old being part of the gathering!).
A beautiful house suitable for big groups. The house is close to the hotel so we used the gholf cart (included) to go to the restaurants. Will definitely recommend. Everything was tidy and clean.
We enjoyed it very much.
We really enjoyed it - was ideal for 4 couples with 4 babies! Nice spacious rooms.
We had a lovely time with our family in South Africa. The house is beautiful with a beautiful view. We felt rested after the 7 days. The maid was excellent and Louise (owner) so lovely with communication. We will definitely contact LekkeSlaap again if we plan a holiday in South Africa. Thanks again. PS: The only feedback we would like to give is that a number "13" is needed down the street. We got there after dark and had quite a bit of trouble finding the house. Thank you!
Absolutely a pleasure and a fantastic house. 13 Yellow Wood is by far the neatest and best holiday accommodation we have been to on the North Coast. We will definitely use the property again year after year for family and friends holidays. Thanks to the help and owners for a wonderful piece of paradise by the sea.
Travelground has never let me down. True to their word and the accommodation is always as it is advertised - spotless! The estate is awesome. We will recommend it to anyone and we have already! Will definitely be booking again!
We had a wonderful time. The house still allows for a cozy time even if the weather doesn't cooperate. It is wonderful to be able to use all the Zimbali Resort facilities. The pool has a net - especially for those with small children. Watch out for the traffic officers! They catch all the Valies on their way out on a Sunday. Will definitely be back again!
The house was amazing. Perfect position and awesome views. Loved the spaciousness and decor. The kitchen was well stocked. The golf cart was an added bonus and well used. Nosipho was great, very helpful and friendly.
Good views, spacious, clean and very accommodating owners.
13 Yellow Wood was one of the best places I have ever stayed. I will definitely go back again.
We had a wonderful stay at 13 Yellow Wood. A short walk from the Fairmont Hotel's pools, restaurants and spa - or just take the golf cart. Each room has its own bathroom, and the house is cleaned daily by a diligent cleaner. There were water shortages, so two people cannot turn on taps in the house at the same time, but otherwise everything was fantastic.
Very nice house, but the power cuts and water restrictions were not enjoyable and I got 2 traffic fines for going 35km in a 25km zone, very frustrating. If you like a very controlled environment then it's ok. The golf cart was great for the kids, if you don't play golf, there's really no point going to Zimbali.
We were a little disappointed, as the pictures did not show exact location in Zimbali Estate. Just a small detail, when on holiday, it is not always a good idea to have housekeeping arriving at 07:40 everyday and then leaving before lunch. We weren't able to lie in on holiday.
13 Yellow Wood was an awesome family getaway. We enjoyed the break with loved ones and the unit offered us good spacious living. Will visit again and thank to the staff for all your help.
Please see the stars.
Pleasant and comfortable accommodation.
Will definitely be back next year as it was one of the best places we have stayed as a tour group.
Felt like a home away from home.
An excellent place, but if you plan to make too much noise, better choose another place. The neighbors are very close.
Had a fantastic stay. The owner was very helpful and very accommodating. Would definitely recommend and go back again.
