Arum Cottage
Home from home! What a gem of a place. Situated in a prime location with all amenities nearby. What suited us was the birdlife and the tranquility of the setting. Shirley-Ann is a delightful host and, after a month-long stay, we are now firm friends and will stay connected. There is not a negative aspect to report: only a rave review of a rare find! We look forward to our return as we visit family and friends in Durban regularly. I highly recommend this cottage. Thank you Shirley-Ann.

Beautiful log cabin on stilts - 1000 Hills Cabin
What a gorgeous place! The views are nothing short of perfect. The host was wonderful and so accommodating. We had an absolutely lovely time. Would highly recommend booking this place!

Central Morningside-Quiet,private Garden Cottage
Loved my stay here! Marian, Mauro, and Hajra (housekeeper) are extremely friendly and attentive. Not only are they great hosts but I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with them. The unit was actually better than the pictures. I booked this place initially because it’s one of the few Airbnb’s that offered everything… A/C, fast WiFi, backup power, a full kitchen, gas stove, separate bedroom and living space, etc. My biggest priority was safety and this unit was extremely secure being in the back of the property with lots of gates and cameras. I don’t think there is any other Airbnb in the area that matches up to it. I would absolutely stay here again!

Say Cheese Cottage
Beautiful garden house with pool and ocean view. We really enjoyed working remotely from there and then relaxing in the evening or having a braai with the awesome hosts (and their lovely dogs) We had everything we needed. Total recommendation this one!

Charming Cottage By The Sea
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Annaleen's place! She was incredibly thoughtful and made sure everything was perfect for our visit. Her attention to detail was evident, yet she completely respected my privacy, creating the ideal balance for a relaxing and comfortable experience. The space is exactly as described and the backyard path to the very private beach was very welcome over the festive season. I truly appreciated her warm and considerate approach. I would highly recommend staying here to anyone and hope to return again soon! Thank you, Annaleen, for being such a fantastic host!

Beachbreak Cottages- Hibiscus Cottage
Megan's cottages are an absolute dream. Peaceful, quiet, sea view, clean, Everything was just as she described. She communicates quiet efficiently and made sure we were super comfortable! We will definitely be coming back!

Ayahthembaa Holiday Home
The house was a home away from my actual home, I can recommend it. The hosts are very welcoming and friendly always available to offer assistance. We really enjoyed our stay. Hopefully coming back soon.

The Cottage @ 4A Montgomery Drive
We had a really pleasant stay at this property. The flat was spotlessly clean, spacious, and felt very welcoming. The main bedroom bed was especially comfortable – we slept so well throughout our stay. Everything was exactly as described, and we had everything we needed for a relaxing and comfortable visit. It’s clear that a lot of thought has gone into making the space feel like a home away from home. Would happily stay again and definitely recommend to others!

Tranquil Two-Bedroom Cottage
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there which was for 10 nights. During our stay there was both a water and power outage which were not within the host's control. One was due to pipe maintenance and the other due to a vehicle colliding with a power pole. At all stages Ashton provided updates and supplied water and a gas cylinder and burner, so we were able to make coffee which was great. Ashton offered us a refund to compensate for the situation however we declined. Keeping us up to date and providing reasonable solutions is what really mattered the most to us, so we weren't left in the dark, if you pardon the pun. I would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone, and we would happily return should we visit Durban again.

Spacious forest hide away (kid friendly studio)
Highly recommend. Host was lovely and extremely accommodating. The unit was so clean and neat - not a single complaint. My children loved the little play area. Will definitely be back!

Charming cottage in Kloof.
Thank you to Shane for hosting my colleague. He really appreciated the peacefulness of the space.

Honeycomb Treehouse-Back up power,2 Adults & 1 Kid

Buckingham Cottage
A very clean and spacious room, perfect for a couple who just wanna have quiet time for themselves. The ladies helping out are sooo nice.🥰 The place is surrounded by nature and you literally hear natural sounds. I would 200% recommend this unit for you. I'll be coming back again before the year ends. 🥰

Garden Studio in Eco Precinct
We had a lovely stay at the garden cottage! The chair swings were such a relaxing touch, and the outdoor bathroom surrounded by plants gave a refreshing, nature-inspired feel. My son especially enjoyed the space, it was peaceful and family-friendly. A special thank you to Frank, who was incredibly friendly and thoughtful. He even gave us some bananas, which was such a kind gesture. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet and charming getaway.

Lovely from start to finish. I've been made to feel so welcome that I'll be staying for another month!

Far Reach Guest Cottage
We had such a lovely stay at this beautiful property. The cottage was spotless, beautifully decorated. It was comfortable and had all the amenities needed for our stay. Conveniently located just off the highway, meant easy access to local shops as well as Durban city which is just 25min away. Christine was always available but also respected our privacy. We felt very welcome!

Adorable bed & biscuit cottage with a pool & Solar
Thank you for the stay at your cottage and assistance with the extra fence over the gate it really helped us to relax and feel at home knowing our small dogs could not get out. Our dogs are escape artists. Host is friendly, helpful and attentive. We would happily recommend this to anyone looking for a beautiful getaway in the Durban area.

Robyn’s Nest Self Catering Cottage No.1
Best BNB I've ever been too! Big ups to Robyn for her beautiful property.

I enjoyed my stay in Bonela. It was peaceful and Vusi was very responsive and helpful. The place was ideally located near the taxis so it was easier for me getting around Durban. I would definitely come back again. Highly recommend 👌
