Stayed at Rosetta House for only one night. But this short stay was simply perfect. Lee & Bill are really nice hosts who do everything for making your stay as perfect as possible. The rooms are very clean and furnished with a lot of passion for detail. You actually don't have to leave the premises for Durban - just simply... More

Babs & Dick. A perfect stop-over. Beautiful gardens, wonderful hosts, lovely accomodation and superb breakfast. Don't bother with any other place in the area unless you're after an anonymous high-rise hotel. More

I have stayed at B&Bs through SA on road trips, for weekends and on business and on the whole they have been of a very good quality. Rosetta House though stands out above them all. Some places have the site, some the decor, others a welcoming host with good food on the table but for me Rosetta House under Lee... More

From my home in Utah I've traveled to over 50 countries and stayed in many B&B's (not in the Congo of course) and Rosetta House is tops in value, in cleanliness, in hospitalty, in food, in location, and best hosts ever in Lee and Bill. I'm a linguist and translation supervisor by trade so even the name "Rosetta" has a... More

The Rosetta House in Durban's Berea is a perfect weekend getaway. Lee and Bill are extremely friendly and wonderful cooks. They do a great job of making their home feel like your own during your stay. I had one of the separate entry rooms, which had a very comfortable bed and a great air conditioner, which was needed during the... More

It seems that nothing is too much trouble for Lee and Bill in this excellent B&B - a welcoming drink on the veranda, wonderful breakfasts, a fresh bowl of fruit in the fridge - it all added up to a very comfortable stay at Rosetta House. More

We stayed for five nights at the end of November in this excellent place. Lee and Bill made our stay in Durban a memorable one. Lee makes sure that one is looked after in every detail .. starting with the excellent breakfast in the morning to making sure that you meet all other guests over a glass of wine in... More

This really lived up to all our expectations. I can't think of anything to say that hasn't already been said. Lee and Bill were charming hosts who seemed prepared to go above and beyond the call of duty, e.g. inviting us to share a pre-dinner drink, on their lovely balcony with great views over Durban. Lee's breakfasts were lovely, and... More

Rosetta House is an exceptional B&B. Have stayed here four times and the attention to detail was perfect each time. My husband and I like to stay in the cottage with access to the shared kitchen as we prefer to make our own dinners - not an option at other B&Bs. Lee and Bill always introduce you to their other...

Their Breakfast is beautifull and it's so nice to sit on a long table having the oppertunity to have a nice morning-conversation with other guest. The location... More
