The Tides Inn Bed and Breakfast

Great ocean views, great breakfast

Nothing wrong

Excellent Sea View and hospitality

None

The room was well furnished, spacious and clean. It even had a tea/coffee station and a fridge. The ocean view was absolutely beautiful. The Manager Fred was very kind. He waited for until until 7pm to check in.

Breakfast was average

best of the best

Neat, clean and a great view. And the staff were very friendly.

All was good. There was nothing I didn't like and I would book again.

The property is well maintained and very clean! The staff lady was very sweet and welcoming! The breakfast was what we ordered! Best value for money!

Nothing! It’s a perfect location with calming views!

My room had a beautiful view of the sea and I could hear the waves clearly even with the door closed. I also liked that channel 144 was available on the Dstv and not the usual very limited hospitality package that so many guest houses and hotels have. The wifi was also strong with no issues and there were enough points to charge everything. Parking was also not an issue.

The beach feels very close but to get there requires a 1km walk to the beachfront on a rather steep road. I also didn't feel very safe at the beachfront. It is rather run down around the promenade. I also found a live cockroach in the bathroom in the morning.

The sea view and the feel and style

Nothing to not like

A very quiet and peaceful neighbourhood, the accommodation was excellent, beautiful ocean view and the staff was very friendly and make sure your well taken off. I loved how clean the place and rooms are kept and they serve good breakfast. This place is definitely one in my books…

Nothing.

The refreshments and cleanliness of the room

Beautiful view!

Should have stayed longer.

The property was clean and tidy. The view was magnificent. Appreciate Lindiwe for going the extra mile to ensure our stay was comfortable.

We travelled to attend a funeral, but had lots to do on arrival in Durban. I let Fred know that we would be late. He was on top of things, calling to make sure I would not have any issues when we check in - which was after 21h30. Excellent communication, and we had no issues with our very late check in. The breakfast was top tier, the bed super comfortable, perfect location and a beautiful set up. We ill definitely go back there.

Everything is always an amazing and peaceful experience. The owner & manager are absolute wonderful warm hosts, also gave us some great suggestions on dog friendly beaches in the area! The staff especially Mama Vuma, goes over-and-above to ensure we are comfortable and well taken care off. More than highly recommended, home away from home!!!

Exceptionally friendly staff and great breakfast

The staff were very friendly and accommodating. I got breakfast on the house on my 1st morning because my bus arrived early.

I had to walk quiet a distance to the beach. I thought it's literally beach front.

Good Location. Great value for money.

Although we accidentally chose the wrong room, the manager was quick to assist us with a free upgrade. The staff are friendly and very helpful. Although it's quite a walk to the sea, there are plenty of facilities when you get there (although for some reason - probably because of the winter waves - I was not allowed to swim. The views from the room and balcony were amazing and there is a viewing platform. There is an excellent restaurant next door (you walk via the property) and the breakfast at the guest house was great. Generally, I would highly recommend this guest house to other travellers

The Booking.com system did not accurately reflect the rooms available and you should rather find the property's web site to get the room you want.

Incredible views, great location, very clean and spacious - we loved spending time staring out over the ocean - and the breakfast was great too!

Quite a lot of noise from other guests - early and late - plus maintenance being done on and around our room from very early on a Saturday was frustrating, but at least it was being done so probably won't complain....

Beautiful sea view and close to the beach

Nothing

Beat view

I wish I stayed longer :( Soap was very weird(hand and body wash) but either then that place was tops.

Everything was wonderful. But the best of all - view of the ocean and its roar in the night. Fantastic.

Basic breakfast. Can not say anything bad about it, just basic. Too hot in the kitchen where you eat.

There was one lady who went out of her way to ensure we were happy.

The room we booked seemed very small and no sea view, we were moved to another room but the bed was very uncomfortable but we didnt complain. The sea is quite far so you will need a car to get around. Next door there was a restaurant which we didnt no about until the last day so we had a cocktail and 2 gins there. But the next day i was sick as a dog started puking and had gastro for 3 days.

Hospitality of staff out of this world.

The headboards noisy when neighbours are up. Needs to be rigid for peace of other occupants. I hope u get me. Microwave would be beneficial.

The breakfast was exceptional. The facilities were exquisite. It was worth the money. We had a beachfront unit. The unit was very spacious. There was a bar fridge and I appreciated the fresh milk and ice in the fridge. There's a smart TV and WiFi. It was my first vacation with just me and my two kids,we spent Christmas there as well. No regrets.

Not all the staff members are nice. One of them has that "walk on eggshells around me" kinda vibe,in the way she speaks and responds to guests and it's very bad for business. They only have 1 iron. A microwave in the room would've been a huge convenience and a hairdryer. We went to the beach a couple of times and could've used one.

The view on the beach side

The back room Nd I was the only one having to sleep at back room

Incredible view! Simple but tasty breakfast.

A very large family moved into the room next door. Not sure if the room is meant for 4 kids and 2 adults. Their noise started around 5 am and there is no soundproofing so it really disturbed my family. We have two daughters so we were in two rooms, one for my husband and I and the other for my girls. We could all hear the children. It was very frustrating so early in the morning

I looooved everything about this place, pictures don't do any justice, the view almost brought tears for my partner😅 sound exaggerated but it was breathtaking

Can't do anything about the entrance, Lil risky but one just needs to be extremely careful

The breakfast was made while a wait, so it came fresh and hot

The room was abit small but still cosy

The main room is fantastic 😍 We would have stayed longer if we could,very comfortable, private and luxurious.

Nothing, everything was just perfect.

The venue absolutely gorgeous

It was a bit far from places I wanted to see

I liked everything.. the view is to die for..

Nothing... it was a lovely stay

Staff was really good

Nothing

Lindy was very nice and friendly , cleaning. was perfect .

To be improving on breakfast eating the same menu

Room was very clean. View is spectacular. Breakfast was great with a nice selection.

Phone number does not work. No privacy, other guest look straight into your room when using the stairs. Lady working at the front desk probably had a bad day but is not very welcoming at all! Other staff were very friendly. Check in times can be earlier, check out times can be later. Listing said there would be a bath, there was no bath.

Area suburbs and the building

Tolle Aussicht. Sehr sauber.

Mit dem Auto ca 3 Minuten zum Strand, den man von oben betrachten kann. Einziger Nachteil, wenn andere Reisende nicht innerhalb "ihres" Terassenbereiches bleiben, sondern sich vor dem eigenen bewegen, dies stört die Privatsphaere. Ich musste mehrmals meine Vorhaenge schließen, damit ich vor Blicken geschuetzt war. Was sehr schade ist, da die Aussicht auch vom Zimmer traumhaft ist (aber dafuer kann die Unterkunft nichts. Hier kann man nur Gaeste aufmerksam machen, dass man die Privatsphaere andere respektieren sollte....)

Loved it there the deck garden amazing bed was comfy very happy staff amazing

It was perfect

Location, Areas, all wonderful with around the corner restaurant made it worth it.

Nothing

Beautiful view

Lady greeting us and serving breakfast wasn't very friendly. The aircon in our room needs to be serviced. Other than that honestly a lovely night away

I loved the view ! It was absolutely beautiful

The issue of cockroaches, we had a lot in our room.

The ocean was a view to die for

Its location, views and value for money

The place is the best❤️✨❤️, very perfect more especially the view. well structured facility, the Restaurant within the Compound the place is the best honestly❤️✨💫

Nothing the place is simply the best

I liked the view from our room and the peacefulness. Lindiwe is a gem, she was very helpful and kind

The room was cosy and very clean. Breakfast was great.

There wasn't anything that we did not like.

The overall location, the view, the personnel, and then the breakfast all exceeded my expectations. Will definitely visit again!

Parking onsite can become a bit tricky with a bigger vehicle.

The place is clean, housekeeping every morning. Their breakfast is delicious and everyone is friendly and quick to assist with whatever you need.

A mop for after shower is needed

The view of the ocean when you open the door in the morning is breath taking.

cockroach

I really liked the sound of the ocean while I am in bed 🤭🤭🤭

There’s really nothing not to like

Everything

Nothing

The location and view is amazing.

Somehow had a group of kids for a night that partied till 4:00 in the morning. Not the kind of oversight one enjoys when you want to rest.

View. Warmth. Privacy

Staff needs to be more friendly.

View of the sea

Clean

It’s very quiet and the view amazing.

The lady was very welcome and made me feel at home.

The ocean view is magnificent.

If we have our own transport. We spend much whe we travel around

Everything about this place is serene. We were not even aware that breakfast was included on our stay. That was great the food was well prepared. The staff is very friendly and they do house keeping daily.

I should actually be gate keeping because this place is a gem. I didn't like that I forgot my keys hundreds of KM away.
