The Guest Suite: " I would like to thank you and Kevin for a wonderful stay at Palapa Place. Your hospitality and kindness is greatly appreciated. A special 'Thank You' for the outing to see the Queen Mary II. I really enjoyed the photo shoot expedition. Always much more fun if somebody else with a camera is around too! I was very impressed with Palapa Place. Very neat, clean and stylish. Lovely views from my unit, tranquillity and peacefullness. Truly relaxing! I highly recommend Palapa Place and will definitely return!

Angus, J, Ryan, Els with Granny Lynn. August - 2011Dear Marcella & Kevan,
I would like to express our thanks for the stay we had 16th - 19th June 2011. David's cottage is absolutely the place to stay in Umlodti. Not only was it spotlessly clean but had all the amenities one needed for self catering....a rarity these days.Its location is perfect and it was very relaxing to hear the waves crashing onto the beach below.Our little one was royally entertained with the monkeys who arrived every morning.Nice also not to have traffic roaring past as it is in a cul-de-sac at the very end of the road, so perfectly quiet and perfect for a relaxing weekend.I highly recommend Palapa Place.
