Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. The overall experience was enjoyable

Excellent

A lovely Guest House and excellent host. Just like everything about the place.

Nothing that I can think of.

great staff..everything good

No beef sausage..only pork ..would like a little variety ..am Jewish...

This was by far the Best guesthouse I have ever had the pleasure of staying at. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The room was exceptionally clean. Breakfast was out of this world. Thank you to the staff for the warm welcome and all the laughs. You ladies are fantastic. If you are looking for a home away from home, Southey House is the place for you!! See you again soon!!

its my 3rd time coming to your place, breakfast always good, location its convenient for me when i travel to westwood and watercrest

Breakfast was a 10/10, Beautiful view that overlooked Kloof/Durban

The Wi-Fi needs some minor improvements. Currently, we have two SSIDs broadcasting, but only "UpStairs" is actually working. Since the ground-floor broadcast is not working, the signal strength and speeds downstairs are taking a hit.

The lady who was helping me was very friendly and helpful

The bedding had a few faint stains, but you could see that it was clean

Lovely place, very friendly staff and amazing rooms. Definitely coming back , the breakfast was also amazing.

Stuff

The pool wasn't clean

I liked the fact the rooms , and everything visually

The table where we were having breakfast was dirty and definitely had to clean it up ourselves before putting anything on the table . None of the channels on the tv like one of them at all and we were convinced it was a smart tv because of the remote but that was not true . Also during breakfast the lady who was not Precious ( she was lovely) this lady wasn’t professional and kept commenting about me not finishing my breakfast but granted as a joke I didn’t appreciate it and felt uncomfortable because we do not know each other to be talking to each other like this

We thoroughly enjoyed our one night stay in the Livingston Room. The room had double doors that opened on to a beautiful and well kept pool area bed was large and comfortable. A real bonus were the staff that were only 2 keen to help with any request. Breakfast was winner

This is a personal issue - in this particular room (Livingston) the bathroom was a little "exposed" but certainly not unpleasant. the other room on the ground floor had a conventional bathroom and a lovely view of Durban and the sea. I did not venture upstairs to see other rooms

The staff were PHENOMINAL they made my stay AWESOME

Position

Maybe the very steep driveway

Super friendly and welcoming team, very nice and quiet location, very good breakfast, I can highly recommend Southey House

We did not have breakfast. The bathrooms need upgrading. The pillows are terrible The bathroom cupboard above the basin is filthy inside. The tissue box - no tissues and it looks old and dirty. I purposely did not unpack my clothes - the cupboard looks dirty. Some old bag lying in the cupboard. No place to sit and blow dry one’s hair / no mirror above the table. Lungi was extremely helpful and very kind. She is a gem🌟

Thank you for going the extra mile to accommodate my dietary requirements. I really appreciate it.

A delicious breakfast with so many options. Fresh fruit salad, creamy yoghurt, Muesli, dried cranberries, toast and a range of jams and spreads plus the option of a wonderful range of extras with a full English breakfast, cooked to perfection.

We couldn't fault them in any way! Precious was charming and attentive, making us a takeaway breakfast when we had to leave early on our first morning to get to a conference. We will definitely be back if we ever go to KZN again.

I like the friendly staff, location, breakfast

My room was not clean. I ended up cleaning the bathroom surfaces with wet wipes, mirrors were dirty. Shower curtain had mildew. Tablecloths were filthy and headboards are disgusting, i will think twice to book there again.

Mafute was a wonderful hostess: friendly, welcoming and helpful. The breakfast selection was extensive and very tasty. Southey House exceeded my expectations - it felt more like a retreat/ spa than a B&B. The decor and furnishings are elegant, yet homely. I enjoyed a drink while taking in the view from the super comfy verandah sofa. The bed was wonderfully comfortable and the electric blanket was a boon, as was the freestanding bath. Coffee, tea, sugar, a kettle, bar fridge, tv and desk added to the room's convenience.

Just three VERY MINOR things: a little bit of milk in the room and some soap, shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom would have been nice additions. The bath plug does not seal properly, so I was unfortunately unable to luxuriate in that glorious bath.

A clean set of beddings.

The beddings were not changed from the previous guest.

A wonderful find.

Beautiful place, staff very friendly and helpful.

Breakfast was very good. The rooms were spacious and clean with good quality bedding! Staff were accommodating and very helpful. The view is beautiful and located in quiet street.

lovely breakfast. wonderful staff . Nice decor

I loved the view of the place

The house was above the stip which makes the cars to be difficult to drive up 😢 other than that was fine

The staff were very friendly and really welcoming. The breakfast was good but no filter coffee, pot was empty. It is in a nice area and has a lot of potential

The breakfast was good but no filter coffee, pot was empty. My one colleagues fridge had half empty water bottles from a previous visit; her room had a bad smell when she entered. Cleanliness could be improved too but ok for a one-night stay since we didn't spend much time here.

Breakfast was good the location was superb

Beautiful house, lovely setting, friendly host serving delicious breakfast

Pillows

Location, friendly staff, breakfast and homely ambience.

One gets the idea that the establishment is in need of a little more care and attention. Attention to small details in rooms. (I’m not going to list them)

In a lovely safe area. Beautiful guest house with the most fantastic view. Lovely staff, great breakfast. Easy access to main roads shops and restaurants. Our room was clean and spacious. Will be back next time we visit South Africa.

We were hosted by Mafuti during our stay. She is an absolute darling. So friendly and attentive. Made us really great breakfasts and when we had special requests so was on point. The place was comfortable and clean. The porch area has an amazing view. We really enjoyed our mornings and evenings on the couches. The area is peaceful and serene. Will definitely stay again.

The accommodation felt like i was at home. Very relaxed atmosphere. Great views to enjoy on the wrap around porch.

Everything about the place was magestic. From landscape to location, rooms, facilities and breakfast. Best hospitality

Nothing at all

Loved the location. The house is stunning. I also like that breakfast is included especially when you are traveling for work. The sunset view from the veranda with complimentary sherry is awesome

The room can do with a good deep cleaning.

no milk to make coffee in the room

Lovely position in Kloof. Good breakfast and staff were v helpful.

Needs a bit of TLC. Lighting in bathroom hard to find. Concerned about the extension plug arrangements - three plugged into one socket?

Location Perfect, close to industrial hub. Breakfast 10 out of 10

The shower setup in the bath is not good

Good breakfast

We'd definitely go back!

Charming guesthouse, like an old colonial plantation house. Full of character and beautifully furnished. Exceptional view. Outstanding and welcoming staff. Came away with a really nice feeling. Would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Tea/coffee facilities in the rooms were limited, and breakfast coffee was limited to plunger coffee, but breakfast itself was delicious. It's not a complaint, rather just what I like.

Great location
