The property is stunning and the game reserve phenomenal! We loved the staff and how friendly they were to us. Only two things we didn’t like was the food, we felt it very average and the attention to detail. ie serving salmon to us both when I said I didn’t eat fish. Otherwise it was amazing, the game drives, rhino dehorning and spa were the highlights, incredible!!

Great concept but I feel the resort needs a breath of life…new coat of paint and updated signage. Staff was exceptional from check in to restaurant, to housekeeping. Food was OK, drinks menu OK. The kids had a blast and that would probably the only reason I’d come back for another stay.

Durban Beach Holiday

A Durban holiday is the perfect time to unwind. Whether you like the thought of chilling by the water's edge or walking along the shore looking for seashells, a trip to Durban is hard to say no to. If you prefer to be close to the centre of town, base yourself close to Addington Beach. This stretch of coast is just 1 mile away. We also offer Durban packages close to Battery Beach and Dairy Beach, two other tempting options.

Things You Should Know About Durban

  • Nothing says holiday like staying within moments of the shoreline. If you're nodding in agreement, see what's available among our Durban beach hotels.
  • Hotels, like Audacia Manor Boutique Hotel and Suncoast Sunsquare & Suncoast Towers, are also popular property types here. Compare prices and amenities and then take your pick.
  • Alternatively, go for one of our All-Inclusive hotels in Durban. They make budgeting a breeze. Leave your cash safely in your room and enjoy the freedom that comes with the all-inclusive way of holidaying.
  • Our Durban things to do page is a terrific place to start organising your escape to Durban. After you arrive, start up a conversation with one of the 3,120,300 friendly locals to find out more.
  • UShaka Marine World is one major sight you can't miss here. For plenty of other popular travel plan ideas, look up our Durban holiday deals.
