Fantastic apartment with great location, but what made our stay special was the people. From the fantastic welcome, to the great cleaning staff as well as the quick responses from the hosts made this one of our best ever experiences on Airbnb. Highly highly recommended and we definitely be back if we return to Durban.

Great place to relax and a short 5 minute walk to the Umhlanga promenade, pier, and beach. There is a Clicks, Pick n Pay and plenty of restuarants including a laundromat downstairs so you don't need a car if you're flying in. Oceans Mall is close by also and a short walk away. Appreciate the welcome by the owners who were friendly and receptive. The unit came with a lot of extras to make your stay more welcoming which included a coffee and tea station. The aircon works well and kept the unit nice and cool. The balcony has good views and you are located just two streets away from the ocean which you can see from the unit.

Our stay at this property was absolutely wonderful! The view was breathtaking – waking up to such a serene and picturesque landscape was a highlight of our trip. The location is unbeatable, perfectly nestled in a peaceful area yet conveniently close to key attractions and amenities. The space itself was exactly as described, clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The host has truly thought of everything to make guests feel at home, from the cozy bedding to the thoughtful touches like a well-equipped kitchen and detailed local recommendations. We especially appreciated how quiet and relaxing the environment was, making it the perfect retreat. Whether enjoying morning coffee on the patio or winding down in the evenings, the atmosphere was simply magical

Great little apartment, well laid out, all the amenities one could need. Bathroom is a decent size and the apartment, although small, felt very spacious and was all that was needed for a comfortable stay. Fittings are all modern and work well, very clean and very helpful checkin, would highly recommend.

This is a great place and highly recommended it. Debs is a very good host. We arrived quite late but Debs was flexible and understanding. She received us at the parking, offered to help with luggage and walked us to the unit. She explained how everything works, lifts, aircon, lights, keys and locking, coffee machines etc. Debs recommended restaurants and showed us around the complex. The unit itself is great, it has everything you need, and the sea view is even better than the pictures. Unit was clean and bedding was fresh. It was a lovely stay.

Great apartment for a short stay. Everything you need is literally around the corner or downstairs. Allen and Deb’s are great hosts and will make you feel home right away. Just make sure the driver drops you at the right address as there are two entrances to the building (Parking/ Gate and restaurant street). I can only recommend this place and again thanks for being such a great host!

We had a wonderful stay, with Debs meeting us, taking us up to the apartment and decribing the area's restaurants. The apartment buiding has security second to none. The apartment itself is clean, airy and comfortable. We would have appreciated more cupboard space for packing our clothes and belongings but that was overshadowed by all the positive aspects of the apartment. It is well situated right in the middle of the main restaurant areas, right next to Oceans shopping centre and with a Pick 'n Pay in the same building. The beautiful Umhlanga beachfront promenade is a 5-minute walk away for either relaxing strolls or active walks. The night life was loud, but there was a Springbok rugby victory against the All Blacks on the Saturday afternoon and I am sure that this contributed to a lot of the noise. Close the balcony doors and we could not hear a thing, having a peaceful night. We are determined to return. Thanks you, Debs and Alan.

Our short stay at Deb’s place was nothing short of amazing. I’m terms of location, it really doesn’t get any better, with great restaurants and bars for great food and entertainment and beautiful views of the sea from the apartment. We would take a morning walk at the beach, which is so close and accessibly from the apartment. The bed is SO COMFORTABLE, just like my bed at home, bathroom is spacious, clean with great water pressure. Modern spacious kitchen with coffee machine and pods, very convenient in the morning. Overall, I am so happy I stayed here and plan to be back very soon, Debs place will be my new home away from home when in Durban. Thanks for an amazing stay!

We enjoyed our stay at Debs' AirBNB. She met us on the evening we arrived with our 9-month twins, helped us into the accommodation and gave us a short tour. The flat is perfect for a single person and a couple and there was enough space for us to set out two camper cots for our babies. The flat is also located right above the Umhlanga Village which has dozens of fantastic restaurants and is a short walk from two big shopping malls recently built in the area. You can also walk straight down to the beach or to the Umhlanga promenade for a run or stroll. I cannot recommend this AirBNB enough! Thank you Debs for having us.
