Nothing

Stayed in August 2025

A lot of steps up and down to various rooms and they could be better lit at night. Shame we didn't have a car as we could have explored more but Uber's were very quick to pick us up. Liked to have stayed longer but flight to catch

A great find on Booking.com. We wanted somewhere a little different rather than another luxury 4/5* hotel and this was just perfect. Very comfortable, very clean, loved sitting on the verandah eating breakfast which set us up for the whole day. Sea views where lovely. The whole place was fitted with antiquities and full of love and great style. Lots of comfy sofas to sit and read quietly. Didn't use the pool as winter but would have done. Loved the honesty bar, very cozy and plenty of choice and good company with Lionel and other guests. Loved it. Sue and Eric

We booked a suite but were given a double room which was lovely but a bit too tight for a room longer stay. Noise transfers from the kitchen area and when doorbell is rung.

Super lovely staff.

Guests leaving early in the morning were quite noisy and woke us up on two of the mornings we were there. But this happens at any hotel where inconsiderate people are staying.

Gracious, comfortable and luxurious.

I was really happy with my stay.

I loved the serene nature of the guest lodge. It’s a bit of an oasis within Durban and feels very tranquil.

Next time I will request a room at the top house for a bit less road noise, however, this was only a daytime issue as all is quiet at night.

I have never experienced such a warm and friendly welcome and stay. The team were so open and attentive to all our needs and ensured our stay was exceptional.

For breakfast please have an option for those do not consume pork. Like myself, beef, lamb or chicken sausages would do.

I had a lovely weekend to rest with my partner, the guesthouse is very cozy and relaxing indeed. Generally staff were helpful and friendly. Will definitely come back.

Impossible to dislike something

We stayed at Goble Palms Guest House in Morningside, Durban — and honestly, it was one of the most beautiful, luxurious and soul-soothing stays we’ve ever had. The place is absolutely stunning inside and out. The guest house itself feels like an elegant historic mansion — filled with vintage charm, old-world details, rich textures and tasteful antique decor. Every corner has character. It’s the kind of place that instantly makes you feel special. Our room was everything we could hope for: spacious, light-filled, with a soft, luxurious bed that felt like sleeping on clouds. The pillows — so fluffy and perfect. The bathroom was large, spotless and elegant, with a deep bathtub that made us feel like we were in a luxury spa. Even the view from the window made us stop and just take it all in. The garden is a peaceful, lush paradise — full of greenery, quiet corners and little walkways that feel straight out of a fairytale. We took so many gorgeous photos here — it’s a dream location for a photoshoot! Breakfast was just divine. From fresh fruit and hot coffee to homemade pastries and eggs made just the way you like — everything was delicious, beautifully served, and made with love. We looked forward to it every morning. And oh — the bar! What a vibe. Cozy leather chairs, warm lighting, vintage touches and a fireplace. It was classy, intimate, and honestly felt like our own little private lounge. The perfect spot for a glass of wine and deep conversation. But the real magic? The staff. Incredibly kind, welcoming and helpful — they made us feel at home from the very first moment. Service was genuinely five-star, but with the warmth and friendliness you don’t often find. This place is a total gem. Elegant, peaceful, romantic, and unforgettable. We will absolutely be coming back again. 10/10, highly recommend!

A short stay, but a soulfully memorable one at the Goble Palms Guest Lodge & Urban Retreat in Durban - full of character, timeless charm, comfort and the warmest hospitality. Huge thanks to Lionel, the wonderful owner, whose gracious spirit makes this place trult special. Until our paths cross again. 😊

This place is truly special. Beautiful colonial-style property filled with character, featuring eclectic furniture and unique artwork. The rooms are spacious and thoughtfully designed. There's an honesty bar downstairs and a veranda perfect for unwinding. Staff were very welcoming and helpful.
