If you don't have time to sit and eat breakfast, you can grab something from our Grab & Go section and have your coffee on the go. Whilst the hotel does not have its own restaurant, the popular Butcher Block Steak House is located right next to our pool area. We have a great relationship with Butcher Block and guests are able to sign their bill back to their room. The Butcher Block restaurant serves lunch and dinner daily. In the evenings, guests can enjoy a drink at our Great Room Bar before heading out to experience the Durban nightlife. Spend lazy summer days around the pool, which features pool loungers and does not have a lifeguard on duty.
