“This Durban guesthouse aims for both family comfort and business convenience through self-catering options. I see a mix of pluses and minuses here, from proximity to attractions and secure parking to some noise issues and basic amenities shortfalls. With its owner-managed service and outdoor pool, this property strikes me as a reasonable budget choice, but perhaps with some trade-offs.”
