Mark & Lynette
We have 2 x garden cottages .1 x 6 sleeper ,2 bedroom and 1x 4 sleeper ,1 bedroom. Both cottages have their own gardens and are pet friendly. 2 Minutes from La Lucia Mall and a 5 min walk to The Glen Ashley beach. We have installed Solar so we feel very little effect from Load Shedding .Lights ,TVs and appliances stay on.
We are a very chilled couple in our young 40s . We love meeting new people and welcoming them into our home .
Glen Ashley is one of Durban Norths sought after areas . We have lived in the area for some 22 years and love the peaceful surroundings and central location .
