    Except for TV that we couldn't operate to tune to SABC, maybe a little guide to TV operations, although it wasn't a big deal. Everything was perfect

    We had a wonderful stay at this guest house in Durban. The staff were outstanding – professional, committed, and at the same time very warm and homely. We were in Durban under difficult circumstances, visiting our sister in hospital, but the staff showed us such empathy and comfort that it truly made a difference. Everything about our stay was excellent, and I would give them a full 10 out of 10. Highly recommended.

    Towels could be a bit bigger but not a hassle and there should be an alternative to the duvet. We did find it too hot.

    Loved the location as it is very close to Capital Hospital where my partner was for a couple of ops. Also the view and garden was lovely.

    Brilliant lodge with a lot of charm. Nicely situated close to city center. Quiet area. Breakfast had the extra touch. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hostess, Vas, is a charming woman and the perfect guide to talk about Durban. Very knowledgeable about South African history and political development. Don’t miss the chance to talk to her

    The beds were softer than my preference but that is obviously very subjective! We had to pay a late check-in fee to arrive after 8pm but given that the accommodation was otherwise very reasonably priced, this was not a disaster.

    The breakfast was delicious with very generous portions. The accommodation was very pleasant and clean with good water pressure in the shower. The pool was lovely - a good size and nice and clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

    The owner of the place and her staff are so friendly, they make you feel at home. The place is very clean, beds comfortable, and the breakfast there is devine. It is home away from home. I would recommend Ridgeview Lodge to all who want to be home away from home.
