Located right on Durbans North Beach, Belaire Suites Hotel offers rooms with free WiFi. Durban Station is 1 km away, and the on-site Café Jiran serves award winning coffee. Greyville Racecourse and uShaka Marine World are within 4 km from the property. i always book a room with a sea view. Breakfast always has a good variety of foods, and staff are very attentive and friendly. For the Comrades's runner we require a very early breakfast and i find it very slightly disappointing, as the hotel is 90% full of runners from all nations. A special shout out to the concierge ( a tall , solid looking, white Sth African whose name i cannot remember), he service was OUTSTANDING. Nothing was too much trouble for him.

Teremok Lodge & Spa offers a free evening shuttle to local restaurants. There are 2 free tea/coffee stations, and a honesty bar with hard and soft drinks. The moment I entered the lodge, I was sorry we had only booked for one night. Very nice ambience, our room Milkwood was amazing (honeymoon suite). The interior design and the view - great. We had booked massages and a facial in their spa. I can highly recommend both - very professional and very good job. In the evening they took us by car to a restaurant and picked us up again. We really appreciated that. The restaurant suggestion was a very good one. The breakfast was tasty, with different healthy varieties to choose from. I would say, that it was a wonderful breakfast. We sat outside and enjoyed the view into the exotic garden and pool. Don‘t forget to order a cappuccino. Excellent. I also want to mention that they supply their guests with mosquito repellent, pool towels and even a panic button at your bed side. I thought this very attentive and I appreciated it.

Situated 1 km from both the iSimangaliso Wetland Park and the beach, this guesthouse offers leisure activities in tranquil surroundings. It features an outdoor swimming pool and free Wi-Fi in the public areas. Very friendly and welcoming host! Comfortable room & marvellous breakfast. I also liked the attention to detail - little extra things that matter: Cooler box and towels for the beach, sherry in the evening & my car was given a wash, after I had arrived from a muddy trip. Just perfect! Thanks Colin & team!
