Beautiful and serene environment with a private beach and pool. Friendly staff always ready and available to help. Enjoyed the complimentary all day coffee machine and warm croissants at breakfast! My wife loved the plush bed and hot shower.
The BEST place I think I have ever stayed, hands-down. I’m from Australia & I’m quite fussy about where I stay when I holiday. Caroline was such an amazing host. The group of staff who cooked our breakfast daily & helped with our luggage’s etc. we’re just so amazing.. thank, thank you, thank you for making our stay so memorable.
I loved the rooms. Just stunning & the best possible accomodation by far among those in Uhmlanga & La Lucia. Just so comfortable. We were spoilt!!!
The guesthouse was in a beautiful location in a very nice neighbourhood with a private access to the beach. The owner Caroline and all her staff could not have been more friendly, welcoming and helpful during our stay. The room was huge, luxurious and extremely comfortable. The breakfast was the best English breakfast we had in our entire three week stay in South Africa!
We had an amazing stay at Cowrie Cove Guest house for 10 nights. The bedrooms were fabulous, very clean with the most comfortable beds I have ever found on holiday. Also the breakfasts were excellent and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The beautiful Indian Ocean is within 2 minutes walking distance and our car was safe with on site parking. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
Lovely B & B, centrally located, near all amenities, shops, restaurants. Just off the highway and easy to get to work and back. Within a few metres of the beach and views of Durban and Umhlanga skyline. Staff and owner were very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Breakfasts were delicious, with continental variety.
The property is lavishly and tastefully furnished and exudes comfort and style. The bedrooms are equally impressive and comfortable. The breakfast is excellent. The pool area and private beach add to a top class establishment.
