It’s a lovely place and very tranquil , I will always stay there and love number 7 thatch!
I have stayed at this venue before, everything was as expected, it was the 1st time in 10 years since I have been back to this venue and it is the same if not better than before.
I would gladly recommend this venue to my colleagues in the future.

Newcastle Reviews
Only visit a friend in hospital.
Being in Vulintaba, riding bicycles, playing golf and site seeing!
Its a quiet town no traffic and nice scenery.
Galavanting at the mall!
I enjoyed everything about Newcastle.
I like Wedding Court and 17 Gutenberg street.
Very nice out of city place. People are real and friendly.
Newcastle is the ideal stopover from Kruger Park to Durban or Drakensburg. Halfway between Richards Bay and Johannesburg.
Relaxing and access to centers is so convenient.
For along time I was under the impression that Newcastle was about coal and steel mines. Newcastle tourists places and the warmth of the people.
