Buckingham Studio

MveloRating, 5 stars2 months ago
I had the most incredible weekend staying at this Airbnb! From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warm hospitality, and everything exceeded my expectations. The space was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was incredibly cozy, and I loved waking up to the peaceful surroundings. The location was perfect—close enough to explore nearby attractions but also tucked away enough to enjoy some peace and quiet. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing retreat or an adventure-filled getaway, this Airbnb is the ideal choice. I can’t recommend this place enough! I’ll definitely be returning for another stay. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Modern loft with stunning views

ChristinaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a great stay - the place is very comfortable and we felt right at home. We loved the view of the harbor! It's very close to the prom and the beach. We were in town for the Ironman event -- and this place is absolutely the perfect location as it's just by the swim start and T1... we were able to bike and walk around very efficiently. And it was also quiet, secure, and convenient. Thanks again! If we're back in Durban for another IM we'd love to stay again.

Stirling Cottage

JamesRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
From a very last minute check in to the early in the morning check out, everything was great. Jo and Simon were very friendly and accommodating. The kitchen is a really nice size for a little Bnb and is well provisioned with pots pans and and cooking utensils. With Joanne's suggestion of using the Checkers 6060 it made it very easy to cater for myself over the 5 nights there. Also in a nice part of town that is easy to travel with the use of Uber. I hardly struggled to find Ubers from there. They have two very nice Lab dogs that were very friendly and very well behaved. (also no barking). I would defiantly stay there again if I was coming to Durban. Thanks again.

One Two Five on Penzance

OlwethuRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
I recently spent time at 125 Penzance for my mother’s 60th birthday. The venue was so pretty and comfortable. We received so much help from the caretaker Sboniso who made us feel right at home and went out of his way to help us set up tables and everything, there was no request too big for him. It’s the perfect place to host a gathering, we definitely would love to make use of the back garden next time! Thank you so much Zama for making things easy for us!

A literal slice of heaven. The sun rises right outside on the patio, the kitchen is graciously filled with helpful items and ammenities, its clean, accessible and safe- the Wifi is fast and the Netflix is pre logged in so you'll be sorted.
