Gecko Inn Guest House  

On Richards Bay’s coastal edge, this guesthouse sits minutes from the beach and close to Boardwalk Mall. You’re a short drive from Richards Bay Stadium, Netcare The Bay Hospital and Enseleni Nature Reserve. Richards Bay Airport is about 4.5 km away, with Zululand game parks and coastal attractions within easy reach.

Expect simple, comfortable rooms — 42 guestrooms with flat-screen TVs, satellite channels and complimentary Wi‑Fi. Rooms include desks, safes and bathrooms with bathtubs or showers plus toiletries; housekeeping is daily. The property mixes garden views and a secure, warm vibe that’s a handy base between beach and bush.

Two outdoor swimming pools and a 24‑hour fitness center keep things active. There’s a garden, barbecue grills and a 24‑hour front desk. Free self-parking and luggage storage make arrivals and day trips easy — and you can wake up to sea‑breeze mornings since the beach is nearby.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi across the property, luggage storage and dry cleaning/laundry are available. A 24‑hour front desk and free self‑parking add convenience for work trips or longer stays.

An on-site restaurant with a bar/lounge serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, and limited-hour room service is offered. Buffet breakfasts are available daily (for a fee), so mornings are easy whether you’re heading to the beach or out on safari.
