Finding Goble Palms Guest Lodge & Urban Retreat was a spontaneous gifting on Booking.com. This Guest Lodge is a beautiful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city, and work. A beautiful peaceful escape. I had Room 2, which is actually a luxury apartment, with no detail spared, I travel a lot and i have never experienced a better fitted suite than what i experienced in Room 2! The landscaping feels like the compact Lodge setting is carved into a tropical forest, on a remote island. The pool area is social, well outfitted and relaxing with a very well stocked honesty bar to enjoy a sundowner treat to slide into a relaxing evening enjoying the beautiful summer evenings, alternating with a refreshing dip into the super clean pool. There are ample areas to either be alone, or in company from a formal lounge area, quite indoor reading area, outside chill lounge and isolated outdoor furnitute amongst the landscaping. Breafast on the patio or inside the dining area is a treat, staff are super friendly and attentive and sociaciable. As an added bonus for an early dinner, i found Delfi Greek Restaurant in walking distance from the Lodge. A deconstructed interior with the most incredible staff and the most gorgeous food (BUT be sure to book as Delfi's is super popular with locals). Goble Palms Guest Lodge & Urban Retreat is my go to place for any of busines trips to Durban.

The bathroom definitelly needs a little renovation even though it was very clean. There are not many parking spots. I saw 5 in total, but there could be more hidden ones that I did not see. We were fine but if the hotel is fully booked, then that could be an issue.

Very friendly and exceptionally helpful staff. Beautiful building and good breakfast. We were allowed to park our car for the day after checking out. Our little private garden was super romantic. The area around the building is relatively (for Durban) safe. The staff made good recommendations regarding places to eat (Mali's indian restaurant) and to visit (Botanical Garden and Victoria market).

Lovely breakfast, room and pool facilities. We were just passing through for one night but the level of comfort was greatly appreciated. The staff made a special effort to accommodate our requests.

This is nothing to do with Goble Palms, but you're probably not going to want to wander around the local area at night. It's Ubers all the way, so just bear that in mind.

The place itself is really very nice. Lovely old property with a great pool, honesty bar/pub and plenty of nice spaces to spend your days/evenings. Staff and owners are very helpful and friendly too.

We had a great stay in Globle Palms. The staff helped us out a lot with all the questions we had about the city and also shared some recommendations on restaurants nearby. Also they were very generous with the check out times, to make the stay as comfortable to us, as possible. The breakfast was vegan / vegetarian friendly.

Very friendly and beautiful place, I could have stayed for weeks. Pilani was cheerful and helpful, breakfast was excellent. Not in the centre, but quite close enough.

Not our first time staying at this beautiful, stylish guesthouse and it will most certainly not be our last. Leanne and her team are amazing. Wiseman rocks, always around, helpful, friendly and willing to help. A true pleasure to stay here.

Never mind Durban, I would love to book in here for a week and relish the ambience of this gorgeously charming establishment. Staff make you feel exceeding welcome, rooms are superbly cared for and breakfast on the verandah with a glimpse of the sea is heavenly.

The bathroom's emergency lightning didn't work during loadshedding. Not convenient when taking a bath. :-)

The hotel's a beautiful and authentic gem. We loved the quietness, the spacious room and the breakfast. Staff was very kind and recommended a good restaurant nearby. Great stay for a (couple of) night(s)!

Limited parking space

I loved the way my family and I were made to feel at home. Phumlani Mhlongo was an amazing host, always physically there for anything. There wasn't a request too big for him he made a plan for everything. Breakfast was amazing no delays we received exactly what we ordered.

Didn't meet the host, and I needed clarity on something relating to my previous booking.

Goodman and the team were very helpful and very kind and made us feel welcomed.
