Traveller reviews

“Superb”
24 Jul 2025
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Stay with Heartfelt Hospitality Title: A Perfect Blend of Comfort, Care & Culinary Delight! My stay at 79 On Ridge was nothing short of outstanding. From the warm welcome to the thoughtful touches throughout, this guesthouse truly understands hospitality. Vegetarian Breakfasts: As a vegetarian, I was genuinely impressed! Each morning brought a fresh, creatively prepared spread—far beyond the standard fare. Think orange juice, fried egg dishes, mushrooms, tomatoes and hashbrowns, toast, homemade jam and filtered coffee. It’s clear the kitchen takes pride in catering thoughtfully to dietary needs. Above & Beyond Service: A special thanks to Gys, whose kindness turned a simple request into an unforgettable gesture. I’d asked only for help drying my laundry—but returned to find every item perfectly ironed and neatly folded* on my bed. This attention to detail and willingness to "go the extra mile" (his words—and he means it!) reflects the soul of this place. The room was immaculate, the garden tranquil, and every interaction with the team felt personal and sincere. If you value genuine care, quiet luxury, and hosts who treat you like family, 79 On Ridge is a must-stay. I’ll be back!

“Look no further, you found a gem”
23 Jun 2025
Everything! Denzil and Gys are the best hosts. We had a lovely stroll through their garden, looked at the khoi pond which I highly recommend and if you're a dog lover, their dogs are absolutely adorable. They were at the back though and didn't come into our room at all so anyone with allergies don't need to worry. The beds were perfectly comfortable, there was a gorgeously big bath tub in the bathroom and the decor made it feel like we were living in a Victorian museum while still having a homey feel. The attention to detail is next level. You won't find a better place to stay at in PMB.

“Could not have wished for more”

We stayed at 79 on Ridge for a research visit at UKZN's PMB campus. The location was ideal - a short drive from campus and with excellent access to local shops and to the N3. The place itself is an oasis - a beautiful garden (with sweet dogs), comfortable and clean rooms, ample parking space and good security. Denzil and Gys are attentive hosts who went out of their way to accommodate our needs, but also did not intrude on our privacy. I'm sure we will be coming back on our next visit!
