“What strikes me is the attentiveness of the staff and the rooms; some come with both shower and tub, and the well-maintained pool is a real draw. Its proximity to restaurants and shops adds a layer of convenience that makes it easy to recommend; the neighborhood felt safe and welcoming. It's a solid choice in Durban.”
