The location of the property is excellent, the room we had was incredible, and the staff were wonderful. I'll absolutely book here again next time we are in Salt Rock.
I highly recommend the king bed view room. Sleeping being lulled by the waves and waking up to the ocean can’t be beat! The staff were so kind. It was a great trip! Wish we could have stayed longer.
Relaxing stay with a few spa treatments. Staff were very friendly and food was delicious. The views are so stunning and it was fantastic to be able to do a walk on the beach and a dip in the pool before dinner. Stayed in the sea view double room which had a lovely balcony to sit and watch the waves and sunrise and sunset. Highly recommend.

Lovely Hotel
Excellent beachfront location. Rooms are tired though and need a bit of an upgrade for the star rating of the hotel and price you pay. It was also very busy with external guests booking events, so we felt 'watched' when we were at the pool. They could do with sectioning off the two sides and only allowing day visitos on the reception side of the hotel and residents on the other.

The location of the property and view is stunning. The staff are lovely though communication can be challenging. There were issues with the room but they tried to resolve as quickly as possible.
The hotel has beautiful lounges and views of the sea, however I was put in room 1, which had a bathroom that smells of drain and wardrobes also had a good smell that I couldn’t hang my clothes inside. This left me with a bad taste.
Rooms were spacious and clean.
The staff were friendly and attentive to our needs.
The nearby swimming beach and granny pool are just a short walk away. Beaches were clean and not to busy.
And sipping on sundowners in the pool overlooking the beach creates a perfect end to the day.
Very disappointing. Room wasnt clean, floor had beachsand. Shower water leaked all over floor.
Room stuffy and need to be updated, very outdated and tired.
Parking was an issue, eventually parked in road.
Club next door, had blaring music playing all night.
Not worth money at all.
Will not recommend to anyone
We stayed here for two nights in December. It exceeded our expectations in every way. The property is located on a beautiful beach and we fell asleep to the sound of waves every night. The staff were awesome - friendly and top notch. We ate our meals there instead of going out as we were enjoying the experience so much. I’d definitely stay again next time in KZN.
I picked this place because the restaurant is good. I needed a place by the airport since I flew in at night and didn't want to start my long drive to my final destination in the dark. My dinner at Two Shrimp was phenomenal, I had the filet. The room was great, the service was great. Security is good, guests get to park inside the walls so your car is safe.
Great, great place! The staff was attentive and expert, the location on the beach was outstanding, and the restaurant amazing. I will quickly recommend Canelands to family and friends.

Location spettacolare con qualche gap da colmare
La piscina sull'Oceano e la vista dalle camere fronte mare sono meravigliose, il personale è molto gentile (ci hanno fatto l'upgrade gratuito per le prime notti alla camera superior) ed essendo molto piccolo l'attenzione al cliente è sempre in primo piano.
Di contro le camere standard non valgono il prezzo e la colazione non è all'altezza di come vorrebbe presentarsi l'albergo. Per il piatto caldo abbiamo aspettato increduli 50 minuti con solo noi presenti in sala, mancavano i bicchieri etc...
Insomma il posto ha molte potenzialità ma al momento non le riesce a sfruttare a pieno.
The staff here are amazing, friendly and helpful. The place is beautifull, just on the beach with so many things to do around. I would recommend to anyone.
