    Great location, good facilities, decent value

    Walking distance to the main strip

    Experienced WiFi issues. Apparently out of their control but as I was on a work trip, this was a problem.

    This accomodation is an absolute jewel in a super safe area ❤️

    Super safe area of Durban within 5 minutes walk from bars and restaurants. The accommodation was simply beautiful. Great breakfast too with a lovely owner and staff.

    Nothing, it was perfect 🤩
