    We were lucky enough to get a room with a balcony just next to the hotel dining room and it was superb! The room was clean and comfortable. Their dining room is on 3rd floor overlooking the beach! The hotel sits right in front of the beach and you have less than 5 minutes walk to famous restaurants like Spur, Wimpy, McDonald's, Steers, Debonairs Pizza, Ocean Basket, to name a few, which are also on the beachfront.

    My room was amazing. It was facing the ocean/beach. The breeze was entering my room every morning during the my time there. I enjoyed my time drinking coffee and watching the surfers in the morning. The breakfast was really pleasant. Breakfast was eggs, omlets and fruit along with other options. The location was on the beach and close to all the action. The bar was cool and active with a DJ on the weekends for happy hour.

    1. The location was fantastic, close to the airport, Moses Mabhida Stadium, and Durban CBD. AND right on the beach. 2. The view of the ocean from the upstairs unit was amazing. 3. There was clean bedding, towels, and toiletries for everyone. If not for the cockroaches, I would have given it an excellent rating for cleanliness. 4. The pool was clean and inviting. 5. Overall, the accommodation met our needs and I will recommend it.
