Goble Palms Guest Lodge & Urban Retreat, hotel in Durban

Nestled in upper Morningside, Goble Palms Guest Lodge & Urban Retreat features an outdoor pool, an English-style pub, and a colonial rooftop terrace overlooking Durban and the Indian Ocean.

Beautiful guesthouse with lush gardens and great views of the ocean. I felt very safe with a constant presence of security. The staff, especially Goodman and Thulani, were exceptional. They went above and beyond, any chance they had. The ladies that prepared our delicious breakfasts, made up the rooms etc were friendly and a pleasure to see every day. Chatting with the owners was a great part of the experience, too. All in all, it felt like we were staying at the gorgeous home of friends. I look forward to visiting again.

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.
