This property is superb. Apart from the property itself it is literally metres from the sea. We fell asleep and awoke to the sound of the waves. We witnessed the most beautiful sunrises. We had alot planned but found a peaceful stay in just staying in. This is all we were looking for with this break and this is what we got and more.

I won't lie, I almost cried a tear when it was time to leave. I loved my time in this property. I literally started looking for available units in the building for sale. If I'm ever in Durban again, this place would be at the top of my list. The floorplan, flow, and all of the private outdoor space, AMAZING. Spent many hours just watching the cruise port. Especially the evening lights.
