I loved everything
Nothing
Breakfast was great and on time.. We spent most of the day out but enjoyed the peace and quiet when we got back.
They took long to open for us on the 1st day and we had an issue with the flushing system to our bathroom. Other than that its a great place en would def book again when i am in durban.
It was very clean and not much noise from other guests and staff
My stay was perfect
Location was good
Location perfect just across the street from the VFS Visa Offices. Breakfast was super delicious
Every thing was nice
Friendly staff, very accommodating! Safe and comfortable!
Staff was really friendly, the place was clean. We needed to stay 2 hours longer, which was no problem at all.
The driveway is really narrow, but managable.
Excellent and safe location with good restaurants close by. Well equipped, spotless and very friendly staff. Highly recommended.
It is neat and comfortable the bed was nice; the room was perfect for sleeping and working. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The choice of breakfast was very nice and tasty, Overall, I was very happy thank you.
I used the kettle in the main kitchen the one in the room did not look friendly, there is no bar fridge in the room. the room is a tad on the small side, and the main road noises was n bit of a irritation.
Loved the old sash windows and the gorgeous old-school black-and-white bathroom. The old photos of Durban on loan from the museum in the dining room were fascinating. The omelettes were superb! Service was excellent.
Sad that the bath is no longer an option, but I do understand why.
The stuff and the setup of the place really homely
Na
Staff were really polite, kind and caring
The first night, was a bit noisy for my liking but other than that no complaints.
Comfort and convenience. They have a marinated pool. Breakfast was good
Very comfortable bed, clean apartment. Great breakfast.
Small shower but adequate.
Centrally located, very helpfull and friendly staff. Good value for money.
I liked everything about my stay.
Was clean and slept comfortable.
they took a long time to open for me. I stood outside for a long tine, nd they took long to answer the phone. I was worried.
Excellent people , food and thank you for always supporting us.

Lovely guesthouse. Thank you for giving me a bedroom with a bath. Nice air-conditioner.
The staff was just great: very helpful and accommodating, very caring, nice to have a chat with. The room was beautiful with a high ceiling at the quieter back side of the house. Breakfast was good. I also liked the strong shower.
I would have liked the ven to have worked in the room, since I don't like airconditioning very much and the ven would just have been perfect at night in this weather. But that's a minor thing. Everything else was fine.
The bathroom were clean and good stuff
The room I was in a lot of mosquitoes 😩😩😩
Reception by the staff was excellent. All staff was friendly and showed willingness to listen and help.
My grandchild saw the big cockroach and was very scared. Improved pest control would be appreciated.
It suited my needs - to have easy access to Essenwood Residential Home. Breakfasts were very good and served at the time you requested. The staff were very friendly.
A better chair in the bedroom
Nice and quiet - little outside noise, perfect nights rest. Defo use again.
All good - no dislikes.
Cleanliness and quiet location
Nothing
The breakfast was great and the staff was very nice and friendly. The caretaker was also very kind and a good host.
The staff was too loud, so there was constant noise when they are around; I couldnt rest during the day as my room was adjacent to the kitchen
Safety, the air conditioner works and the breakfast was delicious.
Small parking space, my car received a dent from another car that was parking there. Got bit by a bug while sitting outside 😅
Staff are great they make you feel like you are at home Felix the property manager was great
Being placed within the house other guests have no regard for privacy and noise tolerance.maybe next time being placed in a private cottage.
The bed was comfortable, lovely grass area for my busy child to run around, and the breakfast was served fresh. Location is excellent
The tv sound is very soft, could not hear it at all. Tried both volumes on DSTV as well as TV remote. Pillows very soft.
Location, their breakfast
The cleanliness
Very helpful, cot sorted for little one.
The staff, they're such amazing people. I love the place and how quite it is. We will be coming back again.
We loved everything, although it eas of a busy road it was still quiet and peaceful. The staff was amazing and the place itself was so comfortable and welcoming.
There was nothing, that we did not like.
La habitación y baño estaban muy bien. Podíamos tomar algún refrigerio sin salir de la casa. Nos ayudaron con la colada. El desayuno muy bueno.
easy to find, owner contacted us and made sure he was there for check in, room was clean and the bed was super comfortable. the breakfast is just wonderful, one of the best breakfast's i have had in a long time. the ladies who prepare the food and clean the rooms know their job perfectly, very warm atmosphere from the owner to the staff
i drive a small car so for me the space for parking was not an issue, if you drive a big car, you might have an issue. otherwise all is well.
Breakfast was cooked as per our requests. The room was spacious, clean, the bed very comfortable, and very handy with the ensuite. Having access the kitchen was very convenient as we could bring food in and use those facilities. The manager, Felix and staff were always helpful.
Parking and access can be a bit tricky if there are 3 or more cars parked at the same time. Pillows were on the small side. Keep the coffee, tea and sugar stocked up every day.
The bathrooms and beds
Everything was good
Felix and the staff were great! Lovely breakfast to start the day
The service and staff are excellent, but the location is far from restaurants, liquors stores and the beach, I was using bolt and uber on a busy weekend it cost me close to a thousand rand for five days due to location of the place.
The place was well maintained and the staff very open and welcoming.
NONE, BUT PARKING CAN BE CHALLENGING WHEN HAVING MANY VISITORS
The staff was very responsive to any request made.
The pillows had a terrible smell.
We only stayed one night, but it was a restful place to be after our flight. The bed was comfortable and we had a good night's sleep.
Beautiful stay, superb hospitality. Friendly staff from owner to staff. Very neat and tidy. It is very close to VFS centre for visa application. Great location .Wonderful Breakfast. Value for money indeed. I would recommend it any day. I will difinitely come back.
Everything about that place is excellent the staff and management they know how to treat their clients very good👌
Nothing I like everything abt that place
Location was very central and it was a short walk to two supermarkets. I slept very well due to comfortable mattress and good quality bed linen.
Unfortunately the cold tap in shower was very stiff. Room one lacked a long mirror. This could go next to the door, and would be very useful!
The location of the property and the fact that parking was safe. Breakfast was really nice
Unfortunately our bathroom was dirty. Balls of hairs all over the floor. Towels had stains on them. Shower door was broken & could close completely
Excellent staff and people. Thank you for all the support. We sincerely appreciate it
Everything was good.
We loved everything about our stay, it felt like home away from home. The breakfast was delicious and the staff were very friendly and helpful.
Property was good the bedroom was so so comfortable I slept like a baby. The bathrooms were beautiful. Staff was awesome and breakfast was lovely. The owners even gave us an extra room I mean how awesome is that.
Nothing
I recommend. What a lovely place. Felix and the ladies were so welcoming to us. Thank you Felix and Team for your excellent service.
We had a beautiful time at Coweys Corner.. The place is beautiful and clean... The staff was amazing especially Felix... He looked after us real good... He was helpful, knowledgeable and patient... Everything that we needed we asked him and he came through... I really appreciated him...he even turned to be our cameramen as well... Lol.... The food was good and they served us on time everyday. Would definitely come back.. The place has beautiful gardens for pictures and we'll maintained and it is so quite and peaceful... It is spacious especially for a family. We had an amazing stay.
Everything was good shame I would just suggest that can there be more variety when it comes to breakfast especially for guests that will be there for a long time.
It was clean . It was at the center of town so most sites we planned to visit were easy to reach ❤️. Uncle Felix was surely of great help his level of patience was 💯 The entire team was super friendly .id go back again
The place is very neat and taken off..Felix he welcomed us with smile and showed us around. Close to Florida road beaches and the malls. Staff is also welcoming. Nice breakfast and we are definitely going back. Peaceful and quiet wow. While you go away you come backbro a clean neat room 💃🏻🕺

Breakfast was amazing
The towels were not properly washed coz they had marks on them.
The peace and quiet of the place.
The property was in a good quiet area and was not far from food franchises and it was in a safety neighbourhood.
The stay was wonderful, hospitality staff were very humble and friendly. Room for improvement, various alcohol beverage on site to cater or ask your guest before hand.
My boyfriend and I always book there if we’ll be around Durban! The owner & the staff always accommodate our needs! The best B&B in Durban! The breakfast is always exceptional! The staff make sure to clean our rooms every time we leave the place, the breakfast has a variety to pick from! It’s so peaceful & quiet! Love it here!
A convenient location of the VFS Global Durban location. Short walk to shops (checkers/woolworths)
Extremely difficult driveway, cars blocked other people in, awkward to exit the property. Zero consideration from other guests & staff of noise levels. Staff didn’t seem to know we were booked in, zero induction and handed one “breakfast card” to order our breakfast for the morning, with a time requirement, and we could clearly see the food had been microwaved anyway. Zero service at breakfast despite being the only people in the dining room at the time.
The breakfast friendly Staff include Mr Felix who welcomed us with smile and always helpfully when you need something.
Dstv some channel weren't working and tv picture quality was not in good condition.
It's quiet and peaceful.
overall, would recommend it.
if I'm being too picky but the pillows stuffed with feathers were not comfortable, they kept pricking/stabbing me in my sleep.
It was more homely. I felt so comfortable like I’m home. More like a self catering plus they still offer breakfast
Thank you for hosting and taking good care of our acquaintance on a work visit. Especially keeping his breakfast warm while he was at work.
