The guesthouse was in a beautiful location in a very nice neighbourhood with a private access to the beach. The owner Caroline and all her staff could not have been more friendly, welcoming and helpful during our stay. The room was huge, luxurious and extremely comfortable. The breakfast was the best English breakfast we had in our entire three week stay in South Africa! ##### Richard Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jayandree 11 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The BEST place I think I have ever stayed, hands-down. I’m from Australia & I’m quite fussy about where I stay when I holiday. Caroline was such an amazing host. The group of staff who cooked our breakfast daily & helped with our luggage’s etc. we’re just so amazing.. thank, thank you, thank you for making our stay so memorable. I loved the rooms. Just stunning & the best possible accomodation by far among those in Uhmlanga & La Lucia. Just so comfortable. We were spoilt!!! ##### Jayandree Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sanda 8 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Lovely property in safe and quiet area. Direct access to beach, although we did not swim there, but very clean. Room was very spacious and comfortable although lacks natural light. Pool area is very nice with loungers and seating, some in a shaded gazebo. There are books and games available. Breakfast catered for us as vegetarians, fruit and cereals plus cooked options. It is fairly easy and cheap to take an Uber to Umhlanga Beach with its malls, restaurants and bars. The beach is nice and you can hire umbrellas and deck chairs. The promenade is nice to walk and leads to a small nature reserve. We liked the fact we stayed outside the beach area as it was so peaceful. ##### Sanda Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard 22 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities This was our second time staying at Cowrie Cove, and we would definitely stay again! We even stayed in the same fantastic room as before! New owner Milo, was so helpful, sorting out taxis and restaurant tables for us in the Durban/ Umlhanga area throughout our stay. ![Photo of Pool area from the breakfast room](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a39b1c53-0a0f-4d2e-8ce7-83818dd6995c-1763800337396.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Richard Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 29 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort We had an amazing stay at Cowrie Cove Guest house for 10 nights.
