Detailed Reviews
Myself and my colleague recently travelled to Westville KZN for a business trip and decided to stay in Westville as opposed to Amazimtoti for a change of scenery. Westville Bed & Breakfast is the establishment that we opted for as they were located in an ideal location for our work at SAPREF as well as other afterwork activities, pubs, restaurants, shopping etc. The rooms were clean and spacious, the WIFI was fast and the service was top notch . We would definitly stay there again and would highly recommend them to anyone hoping to travel to Westville and the surrounding areas.

You guys are the best! We so appreciate you taking the time to review us, and yes, very easy access to the N3 and N2 means a quick commute to even Amanzimtoti, Hillcrest or Umhlanga. Wishing you all the best and hope to see you both again real soon! Emma & Nic

Westville B&B was amazing! The staff was really kind and makes you feel comfortable to the best of their ability. The place is neat and rooms are very tidy. The only thing was that the pool wasn't as clean.The stocked fridge was really convenient, but a bit overpriced. I really appreciated the provision of an iron and a decent hair-dryer. Also, this is the ONLY place I've ever stayed at that thought out the provision of toiletries (a razor, cotton buds, plasters, etc was provided in addition to the usual shower gel, hand lotion and soap).
All in all, I had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend this B&B.

We booked business
accommodation with Westville B&B but unfortunately due to changes within our schedule we could not come anymore. We tried to move it out but both times they were unavailable. We then requested them to give us a longer time period to make use of the credit as we are not from the area & do not regularly visit. However they refused & remained stuck on a one month grace period. These decisions lay with the owner who was uninterested in being accommodating.
Further to that this accommodation has no solar or power back up so expect to sit with load shedding issues when you visit.
While I value & understand cancellation policies the establishment can be a bit more accommodating & understanding.
If you are looking for accommodation in the area I recommend 29 on St James.

Dear Maja Thanks for the feedback, you cancelled within our cancellation period, and eventhough we did not fill the room at such short notice, we agreed to your request to keep the booking for January. On the 22nd you tried to book three rooms on the busiest night of the year - 31st December, naturally we were full and could not accommodate. We gave the extension as were requested, whild we lost money and sat with empty rooms. I believe we were very accommodating.

My family and I very thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Westville Bed & Breakfast. The host Yavashnee was very effective and efficient and always prepared to attend to the guests' requests. She was helpful in helping us to orientate us as first time visitors and went out of her way to ensure that the stay was very comfortable.
We had 2 incidents that were not to our liking - room service was not that great when it came to making up the beds on a daily basis as they would only just straighten the duvet and there was a noisy kid running around on first floor. Both incidents were brought to the attention of Yavashnee who looked into the matter.

From first interaction, to check out, the service was PHENOMENAL.
I had a late check in. This was no problem as I received a detailed video of where to find my key, where to park, directions to the room, details about the room, and where breakfast will be served.
Breakfast is top notch! Rooms are clean and very comfy! Wifi even worked during load shedding! Would definitely recommend!

Top service and amazing rooms , the food is to die for the best hotel i have stayed at so far and we travel allot due to the nature of our business and have to do most of our correspondence for hotels .
The free un capped wifi is extremely fast with zero lag time when phoning it comes to emails or other social media platforms. The fact that it is also home to an art gallery really has a top class effect on the senses of witch is a real treat and a relaxed environment.
