Everything was perfect, it was more like staying with the family (the nice part) than being hosted in a self-contained unit adjacent to the owners' property. Liz and Duncan took extremely good care of me, starting with giving me dinner on my arrival when I had no energy left to go out for food. Plus there was food waiting in the fridge for breakfast! The design and comfort of the room exceeded my expectations as I had a fully equipped kitchenette and a really spacious bathroom, and the mattress was super comfy and huuuuuge! There is backup for when load shedding in on, so you always have light and WiFi, and I was able to work during my stay without interruptions. I really appreciated our chats on what life is like in Durban and generally the communication is something I enjoyed more than any other aspect of my stay.
I only wish I could have stayed a few more days to enjoy Liz and Duncan's company a bit longer

The hosts where the warmest people we have come across in a while . They were helpful and readily available anytime we needed them. The flat was comfortable and had everything that we needed. I will definitely be booking with Liz and Duncan whenever I am in Durban.

Everything was perfect... The hosts are absolutely wonderful, and go beyond the extra mile, only because it's their passion. The small details with regards to quality are probably what stand out the most... Had such a wonderful time that I stayed an extra night
