La Luxe B&B certainly lives up to its name; a beautiful, modern, clean-lined, architect-designed home with superb finishes. From the travertine marble floors, glass balustrades and magnificent staircase, La Luxe oozes luxury and good taste.
We were warmly welcomed by Nellie, who looked after us for the duration of our stay.
All the rooms are beautifully-appointed with extra length King-size beds with 400tc Egyptian cotton bed linen, iPod dock, safe, mini-fridge, complimentary tea and coffee tray and DStv.
Our room, the Executive Suite, had a comfortable lounge area and a spacious private terrace with comfortable chairs as well as a table and chairs for eating outside and a microwave with crockery and cutlery available on request.
Live in luxury at La Lux B&B
The luxury bathroom was a particular treat with a bath as well as a double shower and his and hers basins and a large picture window, facing a lush tropical garden.
After a relaxing glass of wine on the terrace and a good night’s sleep on a very comfortable bed, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast in the dining room, which overlooks the pool and garden. There is also a braai area at the pool and guests are welcome to make use of that.
Breakfast was a buffet of fresh fruit salad, yoghurt and cereal, and then a hot breakfast cooked while you wait. My husband is very particular about his eggs and they came exactly as he had ordered them – perfectly soft fried. There was coffee available all day in the main lounge and also a Nespresso Machine for the more discerning coffee lovers.
La Lux B&B has wonderful surroundings
Chatting with Anna, who manages La Luxe B&B and is a member of the family that owns it, she told us that it was a family home, which, when all the children grew up and left home, the family down-sized and it was turned into a B&B. What a lovely way to keep your home and share it with others.
La Luxe B&B is situated close to Umhlanga Rock as well as La Lucia Mall and Gateway Theatre of Shopping. There is safe parking and also a gate that leads to the beach. Guests are provided with a key to use at any time.
As it was time to get back to work, we reluctantly said goodbye to Trompie, the resident Jack Russel, and took a last look at the Koi pond as we walked out the door.
