Had a great few days at Royston Hall. Fantastic, atmospheric place, very beautiful and peaceful surroundings, and friendly staff. There were just a few little things that could have made the stay even better. Things like the shower head was loose and wouldn't stay in the right place, there was no jam or or honey for the toast, I didn't know if walking/hiking in the forest was safe - to be top notch, guests shouldn't have to ask for or about these things - and the WiFi was ok but could be better. But these are minor things, and I would still highly recommend Royston Hall to anyone.

Had an enjoyable stay and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Towed a large trailer - parking area worked well for my needs; just the road to the property was a bit of challenge with the large trailer.

Gorgeous old hotel, very friendly greeting (by the host and her friendly doggos) Loved our stay, huge bed, delicious breakfast on the patio. I did mention the pillows were uncomfortable and she apologised and appreciated the feedback. We would love to go back for a bit longer and talk a walk around the forest.

Welcoming hosts, great location but this historical home is past its best and is in need of a bit of attention to bring it back to its former glory. The very friendly dogs are a fun addition to the mix.

This was our second stay at Royston Hall and once more it did not disappoint. The view is exquisite and we had a very restful weekend on the property, bird watching, swimming, exploring the property and enjoying the company of the dogs, which is exactly what we wanted and needed. The breakfasts were delicious and incredibly well presented... just gorgeous! Thank you for another memorable stay at a very interesting home.

This was indeed a great getaway find! A one night stay on our way to a weekend away. Such a beautiful old family home steeped in history. The room was amazing and the breakfast was presented so beautifully with a lot of attention to detail. Oh and the views are fantastic. Who knew this gem was down the road!

This spot really is a Hidden Gem ! We loved our stay - beautiful setting, view and forests ! The house is a period piece and really well decorated. The fish eagles souring overhead were the cherry on top !

Steeped in history, a very handsome homestead. Gracious, friendly, and helpful hosts, (thank you for the wifi assistance). Beautifully decorated spaces. Generous and well-presented breakfasts. The dogs were just wonderful. We even got to nap with the sausage dog, a highlight for me. Centrally located to Umtentweni and Port Shepstone. We were happy with the location. One can not easily walk to the main Port Shepstone or Shelly Beach beaches, but the property has its walks/hikes down to the river. All in all, we highly recommend Royston Hall to stay. Thank you to Ria, hubby, and your lovely staff for a very pleasant stay. Would we stay again? Definitely - room 5 next time, please :) Disliked · The only negative for us was the shower 🚿. It needs to be attended to.

Very friendly staff and a good breakfast every morning. The house is surrounded by a lovely forest, and we would go again. As it is an old house, the ceilings are high, so it's best to dress warmly in winter.
