This is a great place to stay, fabulous location and great value for money. It was easy to get to all the places we were interested in, but also quiet and cosy and welcoming when we wanted to stay in. Natalie was easy to get a hold of and attentive to our needs. I thoroughly recommend this spot.

Natalie and Paul were so nice and friendly. Their place is really nice and clean and it located in a quiet area.It has a separate entrance and closed secured parking. So I did enjoy the privacy. It has everything you will need, fridge, microwave, Cattle. It's so close to the beach front and the sea world. It's 20 Minutes from great beach in Umhlanga. I enjoyed the stay there I and honestly recommend anyone to stay there.

Thank you for a great stay! Will be back again soon

Loved the location and setting of the place and the garage for the car and to walk from garage to the room felt safe for me coming home late at night after work.

Very friendly guest.

We absolutely loved our stay and would definetely come back again! Thank you for sorting us out on such a short notice. And... the bakery around the corner is awesome :-)

I would highly recommend The Courtyard Room. Natalie was an excellent host and made sure my son and I were comfortable. The accommodation is extremely well-kept, private with safe parking and you are within a 30 mins or less drive from all Durban Centrals tourist destinations.

Stayed at Natalie's place with my girlfriend and we absolutely were impressed - our first airbnb and now we're sure to continue checking our options on here before getting a hotel. The place is quite central to everything, it feels safe and private. I would highly recommend it.

Fatima's granny flat is a great accomodation. Its nice, clean and cosy in a private corner of a beautiful garden and Fatima is an accomodating and helpful host. We had a great stay and would definitely book it again.

Lovely place. Lovely host. Highly recommend the place. Would stay there when in Durban again!

We really enjoyed our stay. The place is exceptionally clean and tidy. Our host was also exceptionally friendly and helpful. I would recomend this accommodation.

Fatima's place is lovely. I enjoyed myself in the cosy cottage, all the essentials that I needed were there. Fatima is a great, warm and welcoming host. She even showed me around Durbs from the kindness of her heart. I would strongly recommend her beautiful place.

Fatima's place is phenomenal! It's a very private and quiet area where you can relax, not to mention swim in their awesome pool. We were so pleased with our first stay that we booked the place again on our way back to Durban. Also, Fatima and her husband are friendly with many great advice on places to go and where to eat. Our stay at Fatima's home was like a home away from home and unforgettable.

Fatima is a great host. The room is clean and quiet. We have a very nice stay in her house.

Central,clean and affordable.

What a wonderful place,We had a great stay at Fatima's place she was really helpful when it came to us checking in.If privacy is what you're looking for then her place is DEFINITELY the place to stay in. The outside scenery is bliss an open garden and a poolside view.Great place to stay if you want a peaceful stay.

Russell and Davida were very frequently, communicated clearly, and were very accommodating to changing check-in times. The place was very clean, bright, and it was walkable to Glenwood Bakery, Woolworths, and other restaurants.

Quiet and cosy, the garden cottage available at Russell and Davida's location is a perfect place to rest your head while in the Glenwood/Berea/Durban area. The space itself is well-maintained and clean and the welcoming touch of providing tea/coffee/milk is a small detail that does not go unappreciated. The hosts themselves were friendly and willing to assist whenever they are needed while still giving me the privacy of the space. The ability to come and go as I please due to my busy weekend was the biggest draw for me, as having my own entrance and garage gave me freedom to explore without bothering the hosts every time I needed to leave or come back. I would give this a bad review simply because I don't want other people booking it up, leaving it free so that I can use it more often! Alas, Russell and Davida deserve better than that! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for accommodation in the area, just make sure to book in advance because this place gets busy for a reason!

Russell's lodge is a charming place where everything is nice and tidy. We had a perfect moment in this lovely place. Russell is a very nice host who proposes himself to help us on anything, spending time in his lodge is a really nice moment.

The host family was extremely friendly and welcoming. Having stayed there for two weeks, I felt like it's a home away from home for me. Even though I had to be in late there was no threat in the security of the neighbourhood. The home is peaceful and I found it accommodative to all my needs for the duration of my stay. Russell is helpful and if you need help from him to know the city well, he's very open and willing to show you around. If you need help with shopping he's happy to assist. There is a nearby park (5 minutes walking distance), very ideal for a short walk or jog to get refreshed. You have your own timings to get in and out without any restrictions. I will recommend to anybody who wants to have a short or long stay in Durban to stay with this lovely host family. I'm very happy to have made new friends/ family and if I visit Durban again in the future I'll definitely stay at Russell's place. Thank you, Iggy.

Russell and his family are great hosts! Welcomed us into their home with open arms. The cottage is located at the back of the main property but it is completely private. Super clean and big enough for 2 people (+a baby!) the cottage is well stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Russell has a lovely caring family and a friendly dog, Darcy. We had a fantastic stay and recommend d it to e drying looking for a great, safe area with lots to do nearby. Good wifi signal and private parking for 1 car. Thank you all for having us!

Russell's granny flat was perfect. Complete privacy and everything one needs for a home away from home. Beautifully furnished and clean with complimentary beverages too, plus an adorable puppy, Darcy, as additional security. The location is great and the communication was exemplary. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, will gladly stay here again and highly recommend that others stay here too.

Staying at Russell And Davida's place for my first time in Durban was amazing, the place was neat and well kept. They were very friendly and helpful, they even lent me their charger when I lost mine :-)

The garden Cottage is really great for one person or a couple; it's small but, very well arranged and almost entirely new. It’s situation is quite good, in a safe neighborhood, not far away from downtown Durban and the beaches. The place is very quiet. It will be perfect if you have your own car, but, lacking a car, I used cabs and Uber without any problem. Russel is really helpful for the different activities you can want to do, helped me on the first day, drove me to the food stores for my arrival and to my workplace the day after. The price is very worth the place and services ! And Daussie the dog (not sure to spell her name correctly, sorry) is very welcoming, as if you were part of the family !

We were greeted warmly and given the run down very swiftly and accurately. The accommodation was of top class with style elegance and sophistication with a touch of homelyness. I Will definitely go back and stay there.

Lovely place and very gracious hosts. I would recommend.

Nikki is an outstanding host, nothing less The cottage is very functional, all facilities are functional. Comfortable bed. The outdoor area with pool and jacuzzi is very nice. Nikki really was a perfect host (dynamic, smiling) , giving us advice and help throughout our stay. our stay was only more beautiful thanks to her. thanks again for everything

Great place and great location! Nikky and Tom were extremely friendly and helpful and made the stay easy and memorable. We will surely be back :-)

Lovely as always! I always feel at home when I stay here

Awesome place to stay there, Amazing much loved.

Nikky's place is an experience in and in itself.. Highly recommended.

truly a 5 stars place, the owners welcomed us as if we were part of their family. The photos correspond to what we had there. oasis of peace outside of the city center of Durban. It lacked nothing in the cottage, the fridge had all it takes to start the stay. we were treated to a guided tour of the city by the owners and also a dinner with friends. Really wonderful hosts!

Vaughan and Sally definitely deserve the distinction of Super hosts. The cottage was extremely spacious, in a great location and far exceeded my expectations and need. I wish, I could have spent my entire 3 month stay with them.

The cottage was a perfect place to spend several weeks in Durban. Because the cottage is in the back yard, I had seclusion when I wanted it, but I could also easily interact with my hosts if I desired. I would recommend getting a car as the public transit would be difficult from here, but the city is easily drivable and they have space in their driveway. Sally and Vaughan were excellent hosts. I definitely recommend staying here, especially if you'll be spending a substantial amount of time in Durban.

Great cottage! Comfortable living space from living room to bedroom. A full kitchen was a wonderful amenity. Sally and Vaughn are two of the most personable and caring people that made the stay a complete pleasure. Highly recommended!

This cottage is a real gem and has a true 'home from home' feel. Great space with all the home comforts. Hosts were most welcoming and considerate at all times. Would highly recommend this cottage.

I could not have asked for better hosts than Vaughn and Sally. As an American arriving in Durban for a two and a half month stay and not knowing a single person, their warmth and hospitality was so comforting to have. They were always ready to give me suggestions on what markets to check out and what the best restaurants were in the area near the cottage. With the cottage being located in Berea, a suburb of Durban located about 7 minutes from town by car, I had access to both the restaurants and shops in Berea and neighboring Morningside where I could find all different types of restaurants with amazing food selections, and the local cuisine of Durban from small shops and restaurants in town. The cottage itself was also absolutely wonderful and homey, and Vaughn and Sally constantly asked if I had everything I needed. They provided me with a home away from home and that made my experience all the more enjoyable. Vaughn and Sally are definitely the hosts to beat, even though I don’t think that’s possible. If you’re looking for a place to stay in Durban and want to feel like you’re part of the local culture right away, Vaughn and Sally’s cottage is the place to be.

I loved my stay at the guest house, I would definitely stay there again. Vaughan was very welcoming and the listing description was very accurate exceeding my expectations. I would definitely recommend it.

Vaughan and Sally were wonderful. The cottage was delightful and they have both put in a lot of effort to make it feel homely and accommodating. A must book!

Vaughn and Sally are wonderful people, so welcoming and kind, and Sally knew all the good spots to go for breakfast, currie, and coffee :) I loved their neighbourhood, and as for the garden cottage . . . Amazing! Spacious, and beautiful. I slept like a charm. Thanks to both of you, and You may see me again in the future if that's okay :)

Great place, very quiet and private but also very close to shops and the beach. Maria and Savo were great hosts and very friendly, willing to go an extra mile for guests. We communicated via (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) most of the time and the responses were prompt. There is no TV at the apartment but they have internet and books. There is also a nature reserve opposite their property (Free entrance) were you can do walks and relax while bird watching. Great value for money. We loved our stay with them.

We loved staying here! Maria and Savo are awesome hosts, easy to communicate with and eager to help in anyway they can. Would definitely recommend this place!

Great place!

Thank you Savo and Maria. Our stay with you was great. The room is sunny, tasteful, spacious , and very clean. An extra bonus is the beautiful view over pigeon valley. Thank you for your hospitality we enjoyed it very much, we will definitely visit you again.

Savo and Maria are very warm-hearted and nice hosts. They're little self written brochure includes helpfull tips for eating, sightseeing and other important informations. The room and the Bathroom are tastefully furnished and very comfortable. The whole place is very clean and in a perfect condition. The Neighborhood was very quiet and also safe and maintained. With Microwave, toaster, kettle and dishes its also possible to creat small meals. The Bathroom is well sized and includes one of the best shower heads in country, that's for sure! Overall a amazing place to stay with a amazing view in to the green of a nature reserve, short ways to restaurants, bars and the tastefullyest bakery in Durban. Thank you for hosting us !

Lovely bright loft with friendly hosts.

What a humble, professional and selfless host Gerry is. He made my guest's stay a 5 star and memorable one. He called numerous times to ensure my guest was familiar with his property offering his contact details and time to assist where required. He literally drove our guest to our offices as he was unfamiliar with Durban and provided exceptional hospitality and service (URL HIDDEN) guest has a memorable stay and Further more is in awe of Gerry's kind-hearted nature . Gerry truly offered Service above self. I would recommend any of their properties to anybody seeking a memorable stay in Durban and will definitely book their properties in future......Thanks for the exceptional hospitality Gerry....

I stayed with Gerry for 3 months while working in Durban and felt very much at home with Gerry and Linda. The room was lovely and breakfast was delicious, and the house is conveniently located in a safe area of Glenwood surrounded by coffee shops and restaurants. Gerry and Linda were extremely welcoming and gracious hosts, and I would recommend them to anyone staying in Durban for a short or long period of time!

Gerry and Linda are excellent hosts. Very friendly, helpful and accommodating - no task seems to much for them. Very nice house and rooms - I had the very comfortable Garden View' room with 'en suite' Shower and toilet. They provide delicious tasty and seemingly limitless breakfasts with a focus on great fresh coffee for those who want it. They are also fully respectful of privacy but enjoy conversation over coffee or wine (or craft beer!) if desired. They are also true locals and full of local advice - I can unreservedly recommend staying with them and would happily go back there.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at 404! Gerry and Linda were great hosts - welcoming and available if I needed help or advice. They have a lovely large home with great facilities for their guests, the coffee and breakfast in the morning was an added treat and greatly appreciated! The house is in a lovely neighbourhood close to some great restaurants and coffee shops, which Gerry and Linda know well and can advise on. I will definitely be returning - thank you for a great stay!

I had a great time staying with Gerry and Linda at their lovely home in Glenwood. They were welcoming and warm, and we shared some nice talks over red wine. It's in a safe area close to restaurants and bars, so you can get around easily even if you don't have car. I hope to stay here again at some point!

Located in a quiet suburb, the unit is a granny flat attached to student accommodation. I was there on a Saturday night and it was pretty quiet so the students are not party animals. The bathroom tiles look new and the bed is comfy. The unit has a stove too but I didn't test it. Great bargain for the price and Zandisile and Rose are good hosts.

Value for money if working on a tight budget but would not recommend for romantic getaways or if privacy is a priority. Great help from Rose from arrival upto check-out

The home is situated in beautiful surroundings, the facilities available to one were good. Though the home is mostly populated by students, so it is not the quietest of homes, particularly at night.

Rose made me feel at home

The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The place was as described, pleasant, holiday stressfree environment suitable for relaxation......thanks to Rose and her Team for hosting us

Had such a great peaceful time here,beautiful neighborhood too. Mike and Suzanna were very warm to us upon our arrival. Nobby's Nook had everything we needed plus a little extra. Thanks for the wonderful stay and the lift to town Mike.

Our first Durban New Years was splendid and the accommodation was part of the great memories. We appreciated the hospitality and comfort that Mike and his wife offered. Privacy, secure parking and wifi was very important for us, and all of that was perfect.

We had a great time at Nobby Nook! We spent a month living there and Mike and Suzanne were so friendly, welcoming, and helpful if we had any questions or concerned. Highly recommend this Airbnb!

Mike and Suzanne were both friendly and welcoming. Their place was comfortable, quiet, and well-equipped. We look forward to staying here again.

Great place to stay with super friendly hosts. The place had everything you need for a pleasant experience. You won't be wrong here.

I stayed here for a work trip being held at Howard College UKZN. The location was perfect. Easy to find, close to the university and near several places to eat out. An uncomplicated route to get into the city or across the freeway to Berea etc. area. Comfortably, clean and safe. Safe parking was a nice extra. Felt like home away from home.

I had such a lovely stay. Mike and Suzanne were very welcoming and helpful about the area. The room had everything I needed.

Great place to stay in when you visit Durban and you want privacy.

Awesome accommodation and great value for money. The owner was also very kind and welcoming.

I stayed at Nikki's place for a week with my five friends. We really enjoyed the stay! The kitchen is well equipped, the pool was clean and the jacuzzi a big success! Nikki and her husband are nice and welcoming people who did their best to make our stay as best as possible. Security was also perfect. Would recommend this place to anyone!

Nikky gave my friends and I the best experience of Durban. The house is serene and homely, I felt like I had lived there my whole life. Kitchen was superbly kitted out which delighted me since I love to cook. Her outdoor was even better including a jacuzzi which came in handy because of the cold weather on the weekend we were there. I loved every minute that I spent at 230... it really is the perfect home away from home. We love you Nikky and we will be back in a month.

Nikky is an amazing host in that she knows what could make her guests comfortable. Her accommodation is much better than what is listed on the site. It's secure and well located. The pool and jacuzzi is added advantage. We would like to be back at her place again if in Durban again.

My family, friends and I had a wonderful time at Nikkie house! Nikkie is very friendly. We have been very well welcomed. The house and the outside area (pool and Jacuzzi) were very clean and neat. Safe, secure parking and Free Wi-Fi with cable TV. She was very responsive to our phone calls and questions. She was a great help in organizing our New Year eve outing and great recommendations for local restaurants, shopping and bakery

Nikky is Very nice Owner and always help. It is wonderful experience With family

The house was very comfortable and the hosts were so welcoming and friendly. The neighbourhood is lovely and very conveniently located. The backyard pool was glorious - even during "the winter". Nikky was so helpful and helped us sort out several questions we had about Durban.

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and we well-looked after. The house is very conveniently situated for all the main attractions in Durban. Also close to good shops and restaurants.

Convenient and central location. Great host.

Gerry and Linda are such warm, welcoming people, it was delightful to call their beautiful house home during my month-long stay in Durban. Stylish, comfortable, excellent view. Hands down my first choice for accommodation on my next trip.

I enjoyed my stay; Gerry and Linda ( and Benjie -the family dog) were very warm and welcoming and made me feel at home. Their place was very clean and comfortable in a quiet and private neighbourhood. Great place to stay in Durban!

Accueil chaleureux et bienveillant. Sentiment d'une vie en famille avec toute l'espace pour une tranquillité garanti. Beaucoup d'effort des hôtes pour répondre à nos demandes. Très bon rapports qui sont devenus rapidement amicaux

I had a wonderful 2-month stay with Gerry and Linda as a visiting student at the Nelson Mandela Medical School. Their home is beautiful and spacious (I loved having my own large bedroom and bathroom, as well as use of the kitchen and TV lounge) and the location is perfect-- close to UKZN, the medical school, and lots of lovely cafes and restaurants in Glenwood. Gerry and Linda are incredibly warm and welcoming, and truly go out of their way to make your stay amazing. Gerry helped me get settled in the neighborhood and was always available to suggest activities and help us plan weekend trips. Their home is the perfect place for a short- or long-term stay in Durban. I can't wait to visit again!

Had a lovely stay with Gerry and Linda who are lovely, interesting people and warm and accommodating hosts. Great place to stay as a solo traveller (believe there are three rooms with en suite or their own bathroom) or on a group trip. It was a homey environment that still allowed for peace and quiet and privacy (the guest rooms are in a separate part of the house and have their own shared lounge). Gerry and Linda are really great and are born and bred in Durban so are great resources for travelers I'm sure. I was there for a conference and Gerry really bent over backwards to make sure we were well taken care of, including transport etc, help with shopping and other amenities that made my crazy work week painless and admin free. The neighborhood is leafy and accessible and feels quite safe. My only advice would be to make sure you know it's in a suburb and will require transport. Wasn't an issue for me having been to Durban before and the house is easily accessible by Uber and cabs (not sure about public transport but it's near a main road so imagine that's pretty straightforward). Would really recommend this place (I already have referred a friend actually!) for anyone travelling for work or for fun. It could also be quite a nice play for a family holiday. Even if you are not a dog person their little dog "Benji" is such an old fellow that he really doesn't make any issue of himself and their cat was pretty scarce during my stay and never came into rooms or lied on furniture in guest area etc. All in all a great first time Air BnB experience!

The 4 of us were attending the Durban July event and at the end decided to extend our stay and book somewhere else. We found Meegans place. Meegan accepted us even for just 1 day. Her place is beautiful. We even wished we had found it first for our trip to Dbn. Its spacious, clean, comfortable beds, great kitchen and a perfect pool and braai sitting area. Meegan is also very sweet and kind hearted. Her home will definately be our first choice when we visit Durban again. Thank you for a great stay.

A nice place

Was really a awesome. Very friendly. Was a at home vibe.

A very beautiful and clean place. Well decorated with love! Amazing host! Meegan was always available even when she was not physically there. Got prompt attention every time I needed it. My boys and I loved it!

Brilliant stay in a beautiful house with a very helpful and kind family who put you at ease and make you feel comfortable and at home instantly. Always had the time to give you valuable tips about the area. Highly recommended. Thank you

Thanks for your kind help Meegan, A wonderful stay for a elderly couple :-)

Meegans' place is beautiful, pictures do not make justice to it. It's really spacious, quiet, beautifuly decorated and in a nice secure neighborhood. Meegan thank you for everything, we had a lovely stay! Fehrmann family.

We had an amazing stay! Lovely hostess and beautiful house. Thank you Meegan for making us feel so welcome. The photos of Heaven on Evans - don't do it justice! We will be back
