    Cleaning was not done at all while we pay for it, we talked about with the owner, we used same towels and linen twice, Breakfast must done few minutes before the guests arrive not stay long

    It was OK ja, Sunday was better than Saturday, that's the least I can say, beds and room was good. The place was safe and locked,

    The place served its purpose for me, was in a convenient location and the atmosphere was relaxed.

    A towel rail in the bathroom, and a little table and chair in the bedroom to be able to work on the laptop would have been nice. The bedroom smelled a bit stuffy. There was the odd mosquito at night. The breakfast was unexceptional and I did not like the wraps.

    Jupiter was a nice helpful chap. The B&B was near DUT where my chess tournament was happening. That local part of Durban has an atmosphere of decay and decline.

    Loved the host, and the rest of his staff. They were really warm and took really good care of us. We felt right at home. The professionalism in all they do, their appearance was on point. Each morning when they served us breakfast was with a touch of love totally delicious. The place is clean. It's a home away from home loved everything about it. My family and I would definitely come again, we give it a thumbs up👍👊👌🤝⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐SUPERCLASS

    They could’ve made things easier as we were visiting a very sick relative.

    Breakfast on the first day was the worst. The bread was stale, they offered us powdered milk instead of fresh milk. They didn’t have brown sugar. The food was sub par really bad. Cheap quality meat was used for sausages. I also didn’t like the fact that the toilet and shower were one room. Since we were 4 people in one room, they should’ve made them separate. Don’t offer a room with 4 beds if you don’t have a bathroom where two people can do two different things, it was very inconvenient. They need to fix their blinds, a warning about monkeys coming inside the house would’ve saved us some shock and heartache. We were frightened because we are not from Durban.

    On the second day they made us pancakes and wraps which we really enjoyed.

    What can I say, I liked your place in every single way.Not to be absurd but nothing was bad to be disliked.

    The cleanliness of the place very well managed and neat, Not to mention your lovely breakfast one could use waking up with such mouthwatering food.

    The shared bathroom, with people from in-suite rooms being greedy and using communal bathroom to shower and those who share the bathroom being left stranded as we had to wait for them to shower then we were able to use the bathroom.

    The house makes you feel like home, and the WIFI was unlimited
