My stay at Zwelibanzi Guesthouse was quite disappointing overall. While the owner was very kind and welcoming, which made me feel at home, there were significant issues that overshadowed my experience, particularly with the booking confusion. I had to share a room unexpectedly, which was not ideal. 😔

My stay at Zwelibanzi Guesthouse had its ups and downs. The owner was incredibly kind and made me feel right at home, and the quiet atmosphere offered great privacy. However, the lack of water was a major inconvenience, forcing me to bathe in a wash basin. The rooms were well-equipped with a TV, pots, and even a fridge, which was great for the price.

My stay at Zwelibanzi Guesthouse was quite mixed. On one hand, the owner was exceptionally welcoming and made me feel right at home in a peaceful environment. However, I faced significant issues, particularly with water supply, which forced me to bathe in a wash basin. Overall, while the atmosphere is serene, some infrastructural improvements are necessary. 😕
