“This Durban accommodation struck me as a solid choice for families; the location in Umhlanga, a key tourist hub, puts you close to Umhlanga Lighthouse and the beach, while the units themselves include kitchenettes. Although I had some initial trouble with the TV, the staff's helpfulness with logins and passwords truly stood out; plus, free parking is a real find in this area. It's a practical option for a comfortable stay.”
