Places to stay in Durban

From the high-rise 5-star hotels that line up along the beachfronts of stylish Umhlanga to the rustic guesthouses in the deeper Durban suburbs, this sprawling cityscape has oodles of different hotel options. Start with the luxurious resorts of the northern districts, with their sparkling outdoor lagoon pools and palm-dotted gardens. Or, go for mid-range lodges in Windermere – pretty colonial builds with parking and sunny verandas. Meanwhile, discount hotels in Durban come in the form of welcoming family homestays with private rooms. These often have small pools in their gardens, common rooms and simple, stripped-down suites for couples.

To be right in the action, and within easy reach of Durban's acclaimed downtown attractions, consider bedding down in the family-friendly hotels between Durban Beach and Durban Point. You'll get roomy suites and hearty free breakfasts, not to mention walking access to the timber piers and sands. Luxury seekers would do well in the northern districts, where Umhlanga comes peppered with gorgeous resorts, their infinity pools perched high above the swells of the Indian Ocean. And for those on a budget, the homey guesthouses of The Berea beckon, surrounded by local pubs, cafés and shopping centres.
