Our time in Durban was already shaping up to be special, but this wonderful accommodation turned it into something unforgettable. It was the perfect base for our coastal adventures – comfortable, clean, and so thoughtfully equipped. First, let’s tick the essentials: Spotlessly clean? Check. Cozy beyond words? Double check. The kind of breakfast that makes you want to start your day slower just to savor every bite? Oh, absolutely! The in-room fridge was a delightful bonus – not only was it stocked with milk for our beloved tea and coffee breaks, but it also doubled as the perfect storage for our snack arsenal. But what truly sets this gem apart are the breakfasts that feed more than just your body. The conversations we shared over the table were nothing short of magical. Every morning brought a fresh dose of inspiration, filled with captivating stories, thoughtful insights, and – most importantly – top-tier recommendations that turned our short trip into a masterpiece. Thanks to these nuggets of local wisdom, we discovered culinary treasures, hidden gems, and crafted an itinerary that felt less like a plan and more like destiny unfolding. If you’re looking for a place that feels like a warm, welcoming home away from home, where all your needs are met – and the perfect starting point for exploring Durban’s treasures – this is it!

The service was out standing, the breakfast good, the rooms were comfy.
When I got opened my bed to get in some type of insect came running at me, thank Goodness they had bug spray also I couldn't get a late check out neither would they just let me pack my bags and just wait a bit. Till I could leave and even when I checked out while waiting for my Uber the guy had me stand outside on the road even though it was still a few minutes before check out. That is what put me off. If not for this incident I would maybe have rebooked in future. Though it has left me with a bitter taste who charges that fee and let's the guest wait in the road for a Uber.

The breakfast was served with care by Colin himself, punctually every morning. The presentation was on point and the coffee was delectable. The only concern is the limited choice in the menu, please consider introducing some variety there! The room was kept neat and tidy daily, and the bed also made up

We had to change our dates last minute and the owner had no problem with that which allowed us to spend an extra day in Durban. He was also very helpful with where we can go for sightseeing. Loved the comfort of our rooms and them being close to each other as a family. The area is also very quiet and safe.
We didn't really like the bedding in our room, plain white would have been just fine. It would be nice to have some fruit available to go with the yoghurt at breakfast. Also add a bit of gravy or beans to go with the hot breakfast.

Spacious room and bathroom
Obviously, no water, but that was uncontrollable. Should maybe just check on making the reservation that it will be an upstairs room. There was another room available on the ground level, but it was a little dusty underfoot and on thee bathroom counter

The hosts are very welcoming and service is great. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast is excellent and the breakfast setting wonderful. It's a nice safe place to stay in a great area of Durban.
Not much to dislike. Toiletries are a small bar of soap, be sure to take your own shampoo. Other than that small issue, the accommodation is really great

The locality, very close to Virginia Airport, as we had a very early flight the next day
For us, without a car, it was a little remote, and as the B&B doesnt do evening food. We were with out dinner

Quiet & peaceful location
Aircon control didn't have batteries & I had to source a hairdryer from the host. I felt these should have been checked on before our arrival as they are listed on the booking form.

Nice and peaceful area. The host was amazing and the breakfast was also good. Good value for money.
The bed was very low and a bit uncomfortable besides that we had a good time.

I liked the peace and quiet of the area. I liked the convenience of the location.
The pool wasnt cleaned often. I wasnt orientated to the availability of a microwave oven.
