March 2025
We come to Howick every year to visit family and have tried various accommodation places and this is by far the best one.
Spacious, well maintained and safe.
Our child loved the space and the ability to play outside in a safe environment.
Daniel’s a great host as well and I would recommend anyone needing a comfortable and safe place to give Green Lantern a go.

"Outstanding. Friendly reception. Found excellent little house and felt safe. No power cuts due to solar power. Clean! Everything you need is there and it's just a really beautiful place! Thrown Christmas bed with my three boys and could comfortably wash bikes and have a good barbecue."

"One of the best experiences I’ve had using Airbnb. Great location, friendly host and a lovely unit. My family and I needed a quick stop over in Howick on our to Jhb and Daniel’s place exceeded our expectations. It is a clean, warm and cosy home away from home. We will definitely book this place again."

"We had a fantastic stay at the Green Lantern in Howick. Danny is a super lovely and attentive host who lives next door. The cottage was very cozy, clean, spacious, and well-equipped. There's also a washing machine if you need to do your laundry. It has its own terrace/garden where you can enjoy the sun, have breakfast or a braai."

"The unit is conveniently located, it's clean and well maintained. It has everything that you need. Check-in and communication with the host is easy. Our second stay, will stay again. Thanks Daniel"
