“A relaxed Durban base with air-conditioned rooms, this place stands out for its garden and barbecue area. The shared kitchen is practical, and its location puts guests within easy reach of both the beach and Moses Mabhida Stadium. I particularly appreciate the free WiFi and parking, adding extra value to the stay.”
