we stayed at this gay guesthouse during INDABA time 2012, so the house as the crest of the city was infected withthe idea of this South African Tourism show. Well, indeed, our wonderful hosts, especially the incredibly helpful and supportive Llewellyn made our stay very remarkable. He helped us wherever he could, showed us nice restaurants in the area and... More

The 1930’s architecture guest house is situated in one of Durban’s upmarket neighbourhoods (very safe). The rooms are modern and spacious (if you wanted more, ask for the garden suite). Loved the plunge pool and hot tub on the roof offering awesome views and men! A friendly atmosphere. Just relax on the veranda with a book or socialise with other... More

The guest house is welcoming and very friendly and exclusively gay - I think you might feel a bit out of it if you weren't gay. The rooms are all different and very comfortable and well equipped. There are some good restaurants within walking distance but you need a car or taxi to get around. I say thank goodness, because... More

D&L are great hosts always ensuring that your needs are met. The city facing rooms are more than comfortable. Breakfast is adequate and in the evenings socializing at the bar, pool or on the fabulous roof deck makes for a more pleasant stay than a hotel does. More

The Durban View is an extremely welcoming little retreat in the middle of a bustling city. The guys who own and manage the place are very friendly and accommodating, and nothing seems like too much trouble! The property itself is very well equipped, with an awesome roof terrace with epic views of the beautiful skyline and the ocean - definitely... More

An exceellent guest house in the heart of Durban with good facilities. My room was very comfortable and the public areas were very clean and comfortable. It was recommended to me and I am glad I took up the recommendation - I will certainly consider revisiting it the next time I visit Durban. More

Wonderful experience and will be one of my highlights of my stay in South Africa. The hosts are willing to assist and plan your stay and give great advice. The rooms are well thought about and offer all needed facilities. There is a relaxed feeling in at the guest house, the pool, whirlpool and lounge areas are help to that.... More

The rooms are comfortable neat and clean, the hospitality is excellent without being in your face especially after a long day of work. The service is always pleasing and the view from the roof is awesome... More

My accommodation of choice whenever I'm in Durban. The rooms are comfortable and well appointed, the hospitality is excellent without being "in your face". The pool is great for evening skinny dips and the roof view of Durban is breathtaking. More

We booked the accommodation for a quick break-away weekend for my Birthday, not thinking or expecting too much, but we were pleasantly surprised from the moment we arrived. Everything from the hospitality, welcome drinks, room, facilities... was great. Except the weather. But this just means that we will have to go back another time when the weather is better, and...
