Seagull Lodge

Seagull Lodge

📍 97 Via Cassiandra, Richards Bay
★★★ 8.9 (28 reviews)

"Absolitely fabulous place. We were in Richard's Bay due to a family member being in the hospital and Seagull Lodge was by far the best place we stayed in the area. Rooms are spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Having a great restaurant on-site was fabulous too, and the chefs went out of their way to make vegan dishes that weren't on the menu. But what really makes the lodge so special is the staff. Without fail everyone who works here is extremely friendly and helpful and managers Amanda and Annalie really went above and beyond on a daily badis to make our stay as pleasant as possible in the circumstances. Cannot thank them enough. 100% recommended!"

The Ridge Guesthouse ★★★
"The only complaint I have is that it took a long time for my breakfast order to be served. The result was that I had to bolt down what could have been a delicious breakfast in order to make it to my business appointment. The rest was excellent"

Indaba Lodge Hotel Richards Bay ★★★
"Gabby the hotel manager made our stay exceptional. We stayed for one night after our flight to j’burg and was cancelled. We were very tired and hungry and emotional as we were trying to get back to Edinburgh. All our flights had to be rebooked. Gabby stepped in to agree a rate and then went to kitchen and prepared food for us. Further to this she then offered to drive us to the airport the next day!! Outstanding. The rooms were clean and bedding was very fresh. Tea, coffee and water in the room and air con - all good. Gabby saved the day!!"
