    Everything! Room stunning, balcony with perfect view. Love the Molton Browne toiletries! Best surprise was the magnificent terrace and lounge area. Boutique breakfast with incredible view on terrace, served by exceptional staff in balmy winter weather. Location of guesthouse is perfect. Snezana a perfect host, she goes out of her way. She has thought of everything to make your stay more pleasant, even a range of yoga mats! My new no.1 recommendation for Durban! Only 20 min drive to Convention Centre.
