  • "Home away from home"

    09 July 2019

    "Upon arrival for our three night stay, we were greeted by the warming staff and shown to our room. Although the room was small, it was cozy for the time spent in Durban. The daily breakfast was wholesome and more than enough was available for everyone to enjoy. The courteous staff and guest house manager made our stay all the more pleasant with their hospitable approach to our every request. Thank you for the great hospitality and we will be returning soon!"
