You have to walk down the street for dinner, drinks or shopping. The rooms are lovely, but hall lights illuminate rooms at night. Breakfast is great!

Beautiful view of the Indian Ocean!

This is a wonderful bed and breakfast that I would recommend to anyone staying in the Durban area. Only 10-15 minutes from King Shaka airport. You are right on the Indian Ocean, and the rooms are lovely and clean. One of the best area seafood restaurants is within walking distance. The main areas of the B&B are welcoming and fun and the breakfast you are served in the morning is outstanding! The owners (who have been there for generations) are so cool to talk with and love to go surfing after all the breakfast work is done! Our plans only allowed us to stay one night - we wished we could've stayed longer.

Great service and lovely stay.

Brilliant place to stay - staff were very welcoming. Received very helpful advice and they went out of their way to make our stay extra special. Great breakfast and well located for airport. Lovely views from apartment onto beach. Would use again if in area. Strongly recommended.
