Enjoyed our stay at La Lux B&B

La Lux B&B

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.

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.

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.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
