My garden cottage is based in a quiet, peaceful suburb area called Glen Anil. Close to many shops and restaurants, and only a short ten minute drive to get access to the beaches and a twenty minute drive to Moses Mabhida Stadium. Ten minutes away from Gateway shopping mall. This cottage is most suited for families, businessmen, and couples. It provides peace and quiet, security gates for infants/children, and a quiet getaway for couples or a group of friends.
Have a passion for hospitality and people, love the Airbnb concept and meeting people from all over. A big time bookworm, live music fan and adventure junkie! As an Airbnb host, I strive to make sure my guests feel very welcome and at home, and love helping with suggestions on what to do and see in Durban, since this is where I was born and I know the city so well! So feel free to ask :) I am 100 percent available for anything you need to know during your stay or need assistance with. I manage check ins and check outs with my cleaning team, and to do an excellent cleaning job before each guest arrives, and any other queries and assistance you may need during your stay in Durban you may reach out :) Please contact me directly for any specific requests before your stay.
The cottage is within easy access to the beach & many other entertainment areas and Durban highlights, to make your stay amazing in Durban. An Uber to the beach will cost you between R80-R100, and if you are driving, this is only 10-20 minutes away. Glen Anil has lots of shops in the area - Sunningdale Shopping Centre, Eastmans Spar, La Lucia Mall, Gateway Mall. Pubs - Waxy O' connors about two minutes away. Oconnors Irish Pub is about two minutes away. Restaurants - Pashas, The Lookout Cafe, OConnors, Waxy O Connors. Rented cars/ personal cars - park inside the property inside garage and a second car can park directly behind the first car. Uber is readily available with plenty of Uber cars around at all hours. Two Bus Routes nearby.
