Beautiful family home.

TriciaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The place was great, even better than the pictures. All the amenities listed were available and so much more. It’s a dream for young kids, because of the large pool and yard space to run around. The communication was great, all our questions were answered very quickly. The place was spotless and remained so for our entire stay. It truly felt like a home away from home. Definitely recommend 10/10
The image showcases a swimming pool surrounded by lush green plants and a stone patio. A well-manicured lawn is visible beyond the pool, with a light-colored structure in the background featuring large windows. Sun loungers are positioned nearby.

top spot on Mentone

TrishalaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Janne's place really is a home away from home. The cottage is peaceful and surrounding by a wonderful garden that overlooks some of the best parts of Durban. We didn't want for anything, the kitchen was well stocked with essentials, the bed was large and comfy, the internet was fast, the aircon is very effective and the cottage was very easy to lock up and go. I highly recommend this spot when in Durban and will be back!

Central Morningside-Quiet,private Garden Cottage

LufefeRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Marian is a very friendly and accommodating host. She has a beautiful property and the photos don’t do it enough justice, because it is larger than what it looks like in the photos. She was helpful & was kind enough to allow me to check in early before going out to get some supplies for my stay. The garden area outside the house is very beautiful & peaceful as well. I would definitely recommend choosing this place if you want a relaxing stay.
A spacious indoor area features a dark wooden table and a large mirror reflecting the sea views. Natural light pours in through an open space with bamboo decor, highlighting soft cushioned seating that faces the Indian Ocean.

House on the Beach

BrigetteRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Our stay at the beach house was absolutely magical! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by an incredible team Khati and Mak who went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. Their professionalism and warmth truly stood out. The homeowner is an absolute delight—cheerful, kind, and always ready to help. The house itself is a stunning gem, offering a perfect blend of comfort and charm. But the highlight? The breathtaking view that greets you every day. We were even lucky enough to see dolphins swimming by—it was like something out of a dream! This place is a true slice of paradise. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and can’t wait to return. Highly recommended!
A small pool is surrounded by paved decking, with three lounge chairs arranged nearby. Lush greenery and palm trees add a natural touch to the outdoor space, while walls ensure privacy. A single chair is positioned against the house, complementing the tranquil setting.

Tranquil Central Morningside Home

KooRating, 5 stars14 months ago
Staying at Duncan's place for our festive holiday enabled us to make great memories, enjoy the fabulous layout and convenient amenities. The pool was perfect for cooling down in the hot weather and then relaxing in the tranquil garden. We appreciated the security and safety features too. The home is on a quiet street, with great views of the sea in the distance and a bit of the cityscape. Duncan and Kate are great communicators, always available to respond to messages to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We'd love to stay again in future.
