Detailed Reviews
Ruth and Gary made us feel very welcome and were very helpful with regards to the sights of Durban. Spotless and very comfortable accommodation. Everything we needed and more was provided. Excellent breakfasts. We even had our washing done for us by Lindiwe. Due to our stay here, my children now want to move to Durban.

I know the title is a cliche, this is the way it feels to stay at Cornerstone. Geoff and Marilyn feel like family and I wouldn't stay anywhere else. The breakfasts are amazing, and the comfort and cleanliness of the rooms is top class.

we would really like to take this opportunity to say thank you to Marilyn for making our stay at the B&B and amazing experience.
From that time I emailed Marilyn for the booking until the time we got there and to when we left the B&B.
It was our wedding anniversary & Sagren (my hubby) birthday on 21/08/2019.
The B&B is beautiful and you are so welcomed by Marilyn & Goeff.
Marilyn put a beautful bouquet of flowers, Lint chocolates & a card wishing us well for our 1 night stay and kept the wrapping for the flowers so that we could take the flowers home when we left on Saturday.
The room was beautiful with the necessary amenities that we required.
Thanks you again Marilyn & Goeff, we will back soon:)

The BHL team has stayed at Cornerstone for many years and love the warm feeling of 'coming home'. Geoff and Marilyn are the most amazing hosts and there is nothing that is too difficult or impossible for them. Geoff's coffee is also a MUST HAVE if you stay there. An A+ rating from the BHL team and Pete and Michelle!
