Two houses, one name
This is the thing to get right, and it is the commonest cause of a guest arriving at the wrong gate.
- Fort Gale and Umtata Central are different parts of town. Booking Liyoli is not enough. Ask which house, and get the street address in writing.
- Check the address on your confirmation before setting out, particularly if a colleague or an employer made the booking for you.
- Rooms and rates may differ between the two. Confirm what you are getting rather than assuming they are interchangeable.
- Ask for a pin rather than relying on a street search, since both are in residential streets.
Mthatha is also Umtata in the records
The city is Mthatha, and the older spelling Umtata is still in use, including in one of the guest house’s own addresses. Both refer to the same place. Older maps, postal records and listing sites use either, so a search that returns nothing under one spelling is worth repeating under the other.
- Mthatha sits on the N2, the long route between KwaZulu Natal and East London, and is a common overnight stop.
- Avoid arriving after dark where you can. Livestock and pedestrians on this stretch of the N2 make night driving the main risk.
- Ask about secure parking when booking, and confirm how late you can check in.
Deposits and cancellation
Confirm banking details by voice before paying a deposit. Under the Consumer Protection Act you may cancel an advance booking, with a reasonable cancellation fee rather than forfeiture of the whole amount, and cancellation caused by death or hospitalisation cannot be charged for. Cancel in writing. Unresolved, the Consumer Goods and Services Ombud is on 0860 000 272.
