    An exceptional stay. The facilities are super neat and clean, everything is prepared and of the best quality. The staff are very helpful and friendly. It's an old-world classy feel, but comfortable and laid back at the same time. Had an amazing breakfast as well. Very sad that our stay was so short, but would come back here and recommend to anyone coming to Durban. The beds are so comfortable. It's hard to believe there is such a tranquil place hidden here. Absolutely loved our stay. All our thanks to the staff.
