Thank you Richard and team for an excellent experience. You went the extra mile to accommodate our extra requests! Your location is very close to the ICC, which made it so easy to cart our show essentials to and fro. Thank you

I loved Coweys Corner. It is very comfortable. They have wonderful ladies that make breakfast in the mornings and clean rooms. They also have a very helpful night manager Douglas who can assist with car problems, fortunately for me who was on my own in a new place with no knowledge on how to jump a car. Staying on my own, I felt very safe. There are so many lovely restaurants close by and Mr Delivery is on point every time. I did not meet Richard but he phones and gives you every detail you need to check in late as well as pops you a message every once in a while during your stay to see if everything is okay. I would definitely love to stay at the B&B one day when I dont have to work to enjoy the area around. Absolutely perfect place. Won't stay anywhere else.

We really had a great stay. The staff are welcoming, friendly and very helpful. We were visiting family and the location was very convenient & easy to get to everywhere we needed to. The B&B is clean & tidy, the rooms serviced every day, clean linen & towels and plenty of space in our room. It provided us with a home away from home, and for some peace & quiet. With a small fridge in the room, and a kettle for tea & coffee, plus access to the kitchen with microwave & other facilities, it allows for self-catering/preparation of lunch and/or dinner. We’d recommend it. Thanks to all the staff for making us feel at home.

Our stay was really nice. The staff was always really welcoming and kind, especially felix, who is like a housekeeper basically and also lives there, was nice all the time. For me one of the most important things are clean rooms, which was the case every time the staff came, which is once a week. They also came to taek the trash out twice per week, when we ask them if that would be possbile. All in all a really nice stay, I would recommend it 100%.

I liked the location, safety, service and the breakfast. The beds were also very comfy. I honestly couldn't find any fault

The only thing i noticed is that, the rooms being so close to one another, it's easy to hear other people's conversations. My room was opposite that of the ladies who made a lot of noise. Other than that i enjoyed my stay there. Thanks

My wife and I had a short 4 day stay and enjoyed our time there. Our accommodation was well set up. The room was spacious, the en suite was also big and the dining area was well laid out. The outdoor area was very comfy with lounge chairs to relax on. Breakfast meals were spot on and a good variety was availble. The owner and caretaker were easy to contact if we needed anyting and the staff were very polite and catered to our needs everytime were asked them. We felt very safe at all times.On site parking was available. We highly recommend Cowers Corner and will stay there again if we make a trip back.

We stayed at both b&b and the large cottage. Both experiences were excellent.
The whole team were always warm, friendly and happy to make us feel at home. Both places are clean and cozy, with easy access to Beach, great restaurants around the corner and the pool was a nice retreat.
Thanks guys for a great stay.

Answer from RichardMasefield
Durban, South Africa
Hi Cathy. Our prices are currently R 550 a single and R 800 a double. We are overdue an increase though. There is secure on site parking. Actually we have 2 families from South Australia staying with us for the second time this week. I will ask them to do a trip advisor rating but as you will see from our visitors book on our web site...its all good:) Thanks Richard
