Sandals Guest House, hotel in Durban

Offering a year-round outdoor pool, Sandals Guest House is situated in Durban in the KwaZulu-Natal Region. Free WiFi is available throughout the property and free private parking is available on site....

We only had one night at Sandals as a transit to safari. However, we found Sandals to be an excellent guest house and wish we'd spent a day or two longer. The guest house is expertly run and the staff are motivated and very friendly. Our room was spacious, extremely comfortable and exceptionally clean. Facilities are good, with a nice pool.
