Gecko Inn offers spacious rooms that provide everything you need for a comfortable stay in Richards Bay. The restaurant features a diverse menu, and the option to order room service adds to the convenience. The staff were helpful and friendly during my visit. I would definitely stay there again.

I think that some people don't have respect for others and are just noisy but then nothing that I can blame them for or the Guest house. Also see if there is a way that the passage lights can go off if there is no one walking there. Motion switch?

Had a great stay, thanks. The rooms were made and cleaned every day, and the washing was done regularly, much appreciated.

Everything is perfect, rooms are excellent and service. One thing though, I was booked in room 41, if the shower head maybe change with other type, I think that will make showering perfect or enjoyable as the current head does not real regulate water well and due to the pressure of water, the showered water is painful when it gets to a body and is unbearable.

You will never go wrong with booking here. Clearly the staff has been well trained on hospitality and are such a pleasure to talk to. They helped in the torrential rains with huge umbrellas and didnt even care that they got wet, carried my bags and even catered vegan breakfast for me. I loved my stay. The only thing I could say was bad is that I couldnt stay for longer :-)
