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.

Amazing location and sea views. I had a room with sea-views with a very large balcony. Too bad we had no time to walk on the beach or enjoy the pool, still stunning place. The staff was super friendly and helpful. They would re-park my car each time as parking space was limited. The restaurant served super food (amazing steak and curries, fantastic prawns). Lovely cocktails too.
