Best B and B in Umhlanga Rocks!
Fantastic hosts/staff and accomodation. Special mention for the lady who cooked breakfast. She was amazing and so friendly. A real asset to the business. We had the Strelitzia room which came with its own terrace. Perfect for sunbathing and alfresco dining. 5 minute walk from restaurants and bars. Super safe area. After being away from S.A. for 26 years I had forgotten just how friendly durbanites are. Although Umhlanga has grown it still has a beach town vibe and is the perfect place to base your holiday. We stayed for 2 weeks and could easily have done a month. Hopefully next time. Thanks so much guys, we had a great time! Neil and Summer -x-

Exceptional Comfort and Warm Hospitality
I recently stayed at Anchor's Rest while my husband was undergoing open-heart surgery at a nearby hospital, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Cilla and Peter were incredibly hospitable. All the staff were warm, friendly, and always willing to assist—nothing was ever too much trouble for them. The sunrise views from my room, overlooking the pool, were absolutely idyllic and brought me a sense of calm each morning. The location is also excellent—within walking distance to shops and restaurants, and just a quick drive to the beautiful Umhlanga Promenade. The rooms were very comfortable, and I appreciated the convenience of the self‑service bar, which made it easy to enjoy a quiet drink in the inviting communal lounge. The pool area was beautiful and so relaxing. I truly enjoyed my stay and hope to return—with my husband next time

Superb Getaway
The villa was a perfect place for a break away. Cilla, Marilyn, Peter & their team did everything they could to make our trip great. The rooms are comfortable and beautifully placed around a nice veranda & pool. The breakfast was made to order & was plentiful & fresh. The lounge area was made really nice by the large well equipped bar serving very reasonably priced drinks. The villa is situated within walking distance of restaurants, bars & the beach & an easy Uber ride to Durban. We will return.

Wonderful stay at Anchors Rest
We had a great holiday at Anchors Rest. Our room was large and airy with a comfortable bed and we had a spacious bathroom with windows. The best feature which we loved was the verandah that looked onto tropical gardens. It was very peaceful and we enjoyed swimming in the pool. Our hosts and the staff were kind considerate and made our stay the best! Thankyou so much. Elaine & Johnny

Great Stay
The staff was welcoming; rooms were clean and enjoyed our privacy. I would recommend the place for mature individuals, whether travelling for business or personal reasons. Perfectly placed in Umhlanga and affordable.
