I really enjoyed my stay. I hope the hotel updates it’s system so that confirmation emails from trip.com don’t go to their spam. I was really annoyed when I had to hold the line and kept calling them. They couldn’t find my booking, only to find it in their spam emails.

Although Durban CBD has gone to the dogs, this little isolated oasis is lovely to stay at. The rooms and bedding was clean, the staff was very helpful and accommodating, the food was good, and the pool was clean and nice to use in the Durban heat and humidity. It is close to the people mover buses. After our boat cruise we were quite sick, and since the lodge had lots of open rooms at that time, they let us book in a lot earlier than usual was really appreciated. The sleeper couch was a bit hard, but that was the only thing we could fault. it was also very affordable for December holidays. Our personal experience there was really good. 9/10.

Well located, very affordable, great place to stay. However, there was no complementary drinking water provided in the rooms. We had also asked for an airport shuttle service but the email apparently went missing. A taxi was booked for us and we had to pay for it.

Great employees who takes pride in their work and provide superior service and experience to the guests. The location of the hotel is closer to my areas where I was doing business and easy access to many interesting destinations within Durban Central. I would not hesitate to recommend to family and friends also colleagues.

The bathroom needs a bit of maintenence and deep clean. Please keep curtains and hallway carpet clean. Would be nice if they had more halaal options at restaurant. The restaurant staff need to know what exactly is on their menu and if their meat is halaal
