Wonderful place to stay! The owner provided excellent recommendations, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The self-service wine cellar was also amazing – truly an unforgettable experience. When we return to Durban, we will definitely choose this beautiful spot again!

Very beautiful, well located guesthouse with a fantastic staff. The guesthouse manager Ninette is fantastic at helping with dinner suggestions and reservations as well as things to do and to see in Durban. There is even a shuttle service from the hotel bringing you to the restaurant and back, if you like. We had dinner at a beautiful restaurant observing thunder and lightning over the sea as it was rainy that day. Our room was fantastic with a sea view and we loved it. Breakfast was delicious, fresh and with a good variety.
