Ilawu Bed and Breakfast

We were there for the Comrades Marathon and I was pleased to see that breakfast would be served at 2am and that they had oats on the menu. When we arrived for breakfast there was no oats. They explained to me that they can make some but they have to get it from their sister establishment. As I was thoroughly prepared for any mishaps, I did pack oats and promptly gave it to the chef. The Chef made the best oats that I have ever tasted, so creamy and right consistency. Boy, did I enjoy that and am also happy to say that I completed the most Ultimate Human Race due to that great start!

This has been by far the worst BnB I've stayed at. EVER! The pictures are nothing like the BnB. The rooms are old and moldy. They actually took 2 single beds and made them into one. Like seriously, who does that. The staff were shouting and laughing about with each other at 5am with absolutely no consideration for their guests at all. Very disappointed!

Ilawu states that they have a pool, a security guard, free wi fi (which was broken, perhaps it does exist) and that all rooms are en-suite. None of the above are true. The receptionist was good and the place was neat but way over priced for what you receive.

I booked into llawu, 'cause ..it looks great on the internet pic's and the shuttle service. But, pics are not what it seems, eg, paint peeling from the walls and ane, not so neat, stained bed linen, then I get it, the next night as well. I when for a court case, it have been postponed, so, I have to go back, 1 night early, not even a sent paid back to help as refund, lost R600+ and have to b happy wih that! When you leave your room, you have to hand in your key, how safe are that. With my return, one of my beds were removed, so, how may people were in my room, how long have I been standing open....... Ja, then, the food, heated up in a micro.....not good, then as advertised,a shuttle, but no shuttle, after I had confirmed with my booking, I had to phone and paid my own taxi! Never again....SORRY!

We did not enjoy our stay at Ilawu bed and breakfast. Firstly we got there and they had no booking for us. We were told that we've been checked into the hotel but they had no rooms available so eventually we were checked into the B&B. The room was fine except for leaking shower and faulty blinds we had to manually open and close the blinds. And I had to get ready for a function but no mirror by dressing table. We didn't have coffee or tea in room as there were only one cup thinking we'll get some at breakfast no cups on table had fruit juice. Breakfast was awful didn't ask us how we liked our eggs etc but who serves viennas with egg and bacon maybe if it was another type of sausage like pork or cheese griller and we left more than half our breakfast couldn't stomach it. We couldn't wait to leave! Just didn't get our money worth. Never going back there.

I had a great time at Ilawu bed and breakfast, I was there with my better half saturday and sunday...what an excellent service..keep up the good work!

We had a beautiful time staying at Ilawu. The staff is very humble and professional. Always willing to meet client's needs. The service from the day we checked in was exceptional until we left. The rooms are so comfortable that one felt at home being away from home. Keep up the exceptional work that you do.
