The owner, Snezana, went above and beyond to ensure we were well cared for. From tea and juice, an abundance of information, to the beauty of the sight itself, we were delighted, to say the least. I can't remember feeling more welcomed anywhere. The room was extremely clean with a beautiful balcony with a view of the Indian Ocean. We enjoyed sitting out and listening to the water. The bathroom was very large and well-appointed. The breakfast was excellent and in a beautiful environment. I would highly recommend Ocean View Boutique Hotel to anyone staying in Durban at any time!!! ##### JERALD Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Johanda 30 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Me and my son stayed here on a tennis tour.

We were exploring Durban which didn't permit much time at the guest house. We found the check in and check out smooth and efficient. Svenana is an exceptional hostess, she is warm and inviting. You feel right at home here The home is extremely clean and serene. We enjoyed the peace, the sound of the waves at night, the cozy bed and ease getting to restaurants and beach. You could spend the entire day reading on the sun deck. Lovely. Will return. ##### Dana Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 17 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Exceptional place to stay Great guest house with magnificent view on the ocean located in one of the best neighbourhoods in Durban.
