Lobelia Cottage

We are located in a quiet cul de sac a rustic suburban setting over looking the Durban Harbour. We are visited by Monkeys and other some unusual birds. Henri & Carol are your friendly hosts and the garden is well grown with local fruit and veggies which can be shared (for a small fee) if you charm your accommodating host Henri.

This free standing Cottage has 2 separate bedrooms and sleeps 6 comfortably. We have a fully equipped kitchen with refrigerator and stove and microwave. We also have a gas hob.

Guests are invited to make use of the braai facilities at their leisure and there is plenty off road parking. The unit has burglar bars on the windows that open for your safety and security.
We are within walking distance to one of the several shopping centres with a wide variety of stores to choose from. We are also 500m from the closest bus stop to go into Durban Central if you do not have a car.

We are about 3 km from the local beach Ansteys, shark nets make it safe for bathing. A paddling pool for babies and another for toddlers, while the beach is not far for Dad. Life Guards are on duty all the year round. Ansteys has recently been awarded with the coveted international ' blue flag ' status. This is truly a great achievement. During July if you are lucky you can witness the sardine run and the dolphins swim by quite regularly.

Slightly further down the road is Brighton Beach where there is a paddling pool for small children with slides. There is also a tidal pool (a man made pool in the sea), the waves come crashing over which is fun at High tide. Lifeguards are on duty for surfers and swimmers alike. Dad can bring his fishing rod along and try surf fishing it might just be his lucky day. During July if you are lucky you can witness the sardine run. The dolphins are a spectacular sight while they frolic in the waves just off the beach.

For those avid horse-racing fans Clairwood & Greyville Race Courses are not too far where you can have a good meal and enjoy a day or night of exciting racing.

We are 10 minutes from Durban International Airport and 20 minutes from Durban Centre and The Suncoast Casino, & U Shaka Marine World.

There is a minimum of 2 nights stay.
