Aloha 1 is a fabulous home set on a dune at breakers edge with miles of beautiful beaches and stunning sunrises. The rooms are decorated tastefully and the kitchen is well equipped. The staff are warm and helpful.
We loved our stay and we will return.
Nets over the beds.
Rear rooms have a bit of humidity
A Casa è maravilhosa, fomos muito bem recebidos pela Dona Ana e seus filhos. Tudo estava limpo e organizado!

Colocação de ar condicionado e talvez um local mais firme onde podemos parquear o carro quando chegar e não atolar qdo sairmos!
Very nice and excellent location
Consultant Review:
Exceptional service recieved
Things to improve:
The gas braai doesnt really work 100% and is a bit to small for the amount of people. The wind affects the way that it works.
There was no scissor in the kitchen (small thing but will help alot)
The bath towels are a little warn out and might need to be replaced at some point
Words cannot describe the absolutely stunning establishment. From the ambiance to the carefully selected furniture and convenience, I highly recommend this establishment. We will definitely come back to Aloha 1. It ticked all the boxes. The staff was friendly, helpful and prompt. Our entire experience was great.

Things to improve:
You are doing well. Keep being this much humble.
Great place exactly as advertised on the website and unlimited WiFi was a bonus as we thought the place does not have WiFi. Great value for money!!
The staff that was helping was amazing from the time we arrived helping with our luggage to the cleaned gas braai which Sam maintains everyday without fail.
Consultant Review:
Great service overall she was able to cater for our early check in request as well but sometimes would delay responding to my messages on what’s but you can see that she was online which would prompt me to send a follow up message and it happened more then once but otherwise it was great service.
Leonora was very helpful and very quick to respond to any queries or questions that I had.Great service!!
Things to improve:
Nothing except that we are coming back soon for a longer stay.
We absolutely loved our stay! The house is perfectly set up for a bigger group of people since the bedrooms are separate from the main kitchen / entertainment area. The outside deck and pool area has a beautiful view of the sea and the beach in front of the house is exclusive and perfect for long walks or dip in the ocean. Some of the guys went surfing and snorkelling right in front of the house too. Anna, the cleaner, is lovely and very helpful. It's a fairly far drive to the bars and restaurants of Malongane (which we loved) so be prepared. The best places in Malongane (in our opinion) are The Drunken Clam, Sunset Bar and Jack's Barefoot Bar. We had the most wonderful time and would definitely stay here again.
