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!

This place is simply amazing! Lovely host, Martha, was very welcoming and helpful. I loved design of this place, rooms are charming. Got cute room for myself, not so specious, but cozy with nice shower and Terrasse. Rooms are tidy, no strange smell or something disturbing. Bed was big and comfy. Beautiful common area and garden with pool. They have very nice dog and chickens at yard. To get to beach is 3 min through narrow passage. And beach is beautiful and deserted. To get to Umhlanga center and restaurants is 5 min. Take Uber, it’s very convenient. Looking forward to come back again 🙏☺️

I really liked how clean and well-maintained everything was — from the rooms to the shared areas. The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing, perfect for a getaway. The staff were warm and welcoming, and it felt more personal than a hotel. I also appreciated the little touches like fresh towels, fast Wi-Fi, and a cozy breakfast spot. Overall, it was comfortable, quiet, and felt like home.
