Teremok Lodge & Spa, hotel in Durban

This boutique guest house offers luxurious suites with unique scents and music, 0.6 mi from Umhlanga Rocks Beach. Home-made muffins and muesli, fresh juices and farm eggs are served each morning.

The rooms are very spacious and beautifully decorated, with lots of nice ornaments. The location is beautiful - the garden greenery combined with the sea sight was majestic and added to my relaxation. I also loved the idea of watching my breakfast being prepared for me, gave the home vibes. Above all, the staff and management are amazing - they make you feel like you are the only guest. Special thanks to Ninette and Sphe for your warmth and all your help during my short stay, much appreciated.

    It's a hidden gem. Quiet and cozy and conveniently next to the Gateway mall. No need to cook just walk into the restaurants. Will book for a longer stay soon. Great hosts that accommodated a late check in as we were road tripping for school holidays to St Lucia.

    Great location, nice and quiet. The apartment was clean, quite well equipped and comfortable. I didn't have to contact the host during my stay because I lacked nothing and instructions were clear. Good place to be.
