    The room was clean and comfortable. The host had reasonable rules that one would expect for any establishment. It was my first time in the bluff, the one piece of advise would be don't Uber rather rent a car as my Uber experience wasn't great....

    I love everything about the way the bedroom is set up, the decoration included the life plants inside and outside the bedroom. Perhaps the plastic plants were unnecessary. But overall the bedroom is beautiful, clean and comfortable. I will...

Property information

At The Boshoff, our family-run guesthouse offers a choice of three rooms in the main building, plus a charming garden cottage and cosy suite. Tucked away in the peaceful suburb of The Bluff (south of Durban's CBD), it is important to note that we’re not close to the city centre or within walking distance of Durban’s main beaches and attractions. However, with your own car or a 20 minute Uber ride, guests can enjoy Ushaka and Durban's main attraction. Our accommodation blends comfort and style with a relaxed, casual feel. Each of our 5 self-catering units features a fully equipped kitchenette, a separate (private) bathroom, its own outdoor patio area, and dedicated parking. Whether you’re visiting Durban for business or a well-deserved break, The Boshoff provides everything you need for a comfortable and restful stay. As responsible hosts, we value both our guests and our community. For everyone’s comfort, we reserve the right of admission and apply our house rules and terms and conditions fairly but firmly to ensure a positive experience for all.

Neighbourhood information

The Boshoff is situated in a quiet, family neighbourhood south of Durban's CBD. It is the ideal home-away-from-home for families or for holidaymakers who want to relax in a quiet environment away from the hustle and bustle of the city when they are not at the beach or sightseeing. The listing is conveniently located 1,9km from our local beaches, including Ansteys and Brighton Beach. These beaches add to the appeal for families who want to enjoy the sun, sea and surf and especially those with kids who will have lots of fun in the paddling pools and tidal pool. If Ushaka Marine World is a must see, it is about 18km from The Boshoff. The Bluff is halfway between Durban's CBD and Amanzimtoti. It offers guests 2 shopping malls, including Bluff Towers and Hillside malls, with most of South Africa's popular chain stores including grocery and clothing stores.
