"My stay was longer than usual in Durban. Initially I had reservations about booking a guest house but found the experience from start to finish excellent. The team made my stay memorable for many reasons… warm breakfasts and that daily muffin, keeping the room fresh everyday, clean linen and towels are all important to keeping one’s stay happy.
The owners (who live on the premises) are wonderful and kind people who are happy to stop by to say hello with meaningful chat.

"Snezana and the Staff made my stay in Umhlanga unforgettable.
I’ve travelled to South Africa more than a dozen times and this Guesthouse was by the best experience I’ve ever had.
It was like home away from home. I will definitely stay here again next year when I visit South Africa."

"The staff were really friendly and helpful, breakfast had great variety. Bathrooms weren't the neatest and the noise at night from the road was unbearable"

"The worst service we have ever received from a hotel/Bnb. It was a very hot 32 degree day and the air conditioner was broken in our room. We asked for another room when we we told the bnb was fully occupied which was understandable. We then requested that we get a refund for our accommodation because we couldn’t stay in a room that was so hot. The owner told us we needed to wait for her maintenance guy who was a 2 hour drive away, let alone the amount of time it would take him to repair a broken...

The staff were very friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble.

We know Durban well, have stayed here before and will do so again. We give top ratings in every department but outsiders should know that you must have a car because it is in a residential area with no shops or restaurants close by. The owners are on site and super friendly and energetic. Breakfast is great.

5 stars all round!
For a 3* rated property, there have better facilities than some 4 and 5* places where I have stayed.
The staff are an asset to this property. Breakfast was fantastic. You can also organise breakfast earlier if you have an early morning excursion.
I would not hesitate to recommend this property.

Just needed somewhere to stay after arrival at the airport, before moving on the next day. The hotel was a relatively easy drive (with SatNav), though hotel wasn't clearly marked from the road, but shoeing as 88 Chartwell Drive, rather than as 'guest house.
The room was good sized, with sofa, large tv, good bathroom and comfortable bed. The room had coffee facilities, refridgerator and 'honesty bar'
Breakfast was good.
Would certainly use again, if needi somewhere to stay in Durban.
