    The city is littered with a lot of people begging at robots and intersections. The big malls in the outlying areas were great, but would did not feel comfortable and safe in the city and surrounding areas at all.

    The property was very neat and clean. The facilities were modern and had beautiful decoration. The agents were easy to reach and ensured to answer any queries within a minute. Their service is impeccable and they strive to make sure that your stay is as wonderful as you plan it to be. I love the fact that it was situated in the heart of Umhlanga and everything is a walk away, even the beach. I really enjoyed my stay here and I will always book with Oceans Umhlanga whenever I’m in Durban.

    The hosts, Robyn and Steve were amazing! Greeted us with a warm welcome upon our arrival, and made us feel at home immediately. The room(s) and facilities are very well-kept, clean, and are organised with any essentials that you might need. The area is very quiet. Tucked away in Durban North, it's well-located if you need to pop in and out of Durban for business, or even if you're looking at heading up north towards Umhlanga/Ballito for beach time.

    Entire property and rooms beautifully decorated. It was quiet and private. Even though there was a function downstairs the noise did not reach my room. It’s not on the beach but is quite central to both Durban & Umhlanga. The views from my balcony and our table at breakfast were stunning. Vegetarian(halal) breakfast omelette was delicious.
