A good nights rest followed by a scrumptious breakfast is the perfect way to begin a new day and its a recipe that is followed closely in both the design and ethos of the very chic Marmalade Boutique Hotel in Durban North.
The hotel offers accommodation, facilities and service of the highest standard, promising guests a most refreshing stay. With a choice of nine beautifully appointed rooms and a deluxe suite, guests are certain to leave feeling rested and revitalized. Whether youre visiting Durban for business or for pleasure youll find just what you need at this excellent boutique hotel.
Each rooms is tastefully furnished with style and comfort in mind, while the opulent Marmalade Suite is particularly luxurious and perfect for guests who require extra special spoiling. A large outdoor swimming pool with trendy loungers is for the exclusive use of guests. Scrumptious breakfasts are served daily in an elegant dining room overlooking the pool area. Guests can enjoy wholesome home-made fare produced from fresh local products along with the best coffee and a variety of marmalades. Although essentially a bed and breakfast hotel, Marmalade Boutique Hotel is happy to cater for lunches and dinners on request.
The hotel is only 15 minutes from the bustling city of Durban and is at the hub of the La Lucia and Umhlanga business centres. It is without a doubt one of the most beautiful parts of KwaZulu-Natal. Once nothing more than a coastal dune, parts of which are preserved in Mangrove Swamps, the area has been developed into a holidaymakers paradise. The nearby Umgeni Bird Park bears testimony to the number of birds that are still attracted to the area.
The generally moderate and rather humid climate lends itself to mild winters and affords good beach weather all year, especially during the months of January through to April. Sea temperatures vary slightly with minimums of about 18C in winter up to 24C.
"No service, no breakfast, air-con not working!"
"We had wonderful stay and place was lovely the only thing which we had problem with is we arranged for room with window but when we got there the room which was were given had no window at all. When we enquired about it we were told that Safari were notified so not sure who dropped the ball between safari and marmalade. There were no soap or shower caps as well. A touch up of the above and awesome service will do this place wonders."
"It was a very pleasant stay. The staff made us feel welcome and extended warm hospitality.We can recommend Marmalade Boutique Hotel.A thank you to all the staff at Marmalade Boutique Hotel."
"We stayed in the Marmalade Suite. Wow! What great value for money and the staff are fantastic. There are a few things I noticed that need to be sorted but on the whole a wonderful and spacious stay. Thank you."
"It would have been nice to know that the room we booked had no window and even though no other guests were due and we were the only couple we had to pay to upgrade to another room (with a window).Apart from the room situation, staff were very friendly and the facilities were neat and clean."
"Friendly staff, good breakfast and excellent facilities, but beware of the room with no window. Guests should be told that the room they are booking has no window before they arrive and not realize it the moment they open the door to their room."
"Had a great stay at Marmalade. Buyi, Pitso and the team were really hospitable. Will definitely stay here again next time we are in Durban."
"The hotel is beautiful with very friendly staff. I will definitely go there again. But I wish they can improve the pace when preparing the breakfast."
"Beautiful place and wonderful staff members. Thanks guys!"
"The staff at the hotel were very friendly, efficient and welcoming. The hotel is very neat and cosy with comfortable beds and also secure. It is also very well equipped."
"Me and my wife spent 3 nights at this hotel as we were holidaying in Durbs. Beautiful place, great facilities. Staff was friendly. Though the place is great there is still room for improvement in terms of general service."
"We really had a wonderful stay at Marmalade, what we saw on the internet is what we found when we got there. The staff is friendly, I will definitely book the place again the next time I visit Durban."
"We really enjoyed our stay at the Marmalade, it was wonderful. The staff is very friendly and inviting into their home. We had access to even use the kitchen as and when we wanted to which, I thought was great, the breakfast was enjoyable and everyone made our stay so great, All the rooms are very spacious, all of them very lovely. The place is clean, and very quiet but close to all activities in Durban. Thank you Marmalade."
"Marmalade Boutique Hotel is an exceptional venue. The care that you are given by Buyi, Pitso and the other guy (sorry i cant remember his name). All 3 treat you so well and assist in any way possible. They always have a smile and make you feel at home. It feels like a home away from home. I have already recommended this place to friends and family. I know I'll definitely be back when I'm in Durban."
"I thoroughly recommed marmalade to anyone who needs a well deserved break. It's warm and cosy. Also very close to all entertainment venues."
"Marmalade is awesome in regards of environment, food and service! The name of each room is also very interesting, but there seems some poblems with the price online. It's better to check it with the hotel directly."
