This property was really nice! The staff was super friendly and helpful and it has great onsite amenities such as a day spa, pool, and pretty decent dining. The area around is a little sketchy but Durban is on the more developing side of living.

The hosts were excellent. The only issue was the entry card and codes didn’t work consistently. Apartment is on 3rd floor. Didn’t like that but it was ok. Place was beautiful and very classy.

Excellent location close to the beach and attached to a retail centre with restaurants and supermarkets. Numerous bars and eateries within a 200m radius. Pool deck a bit small but attached underground complimentary parking a real plus. Highly recommended.
