Helen was a great host. Lovely guest house with a great sea view. Rooms are comfy and clean with everything you need. Breakfast was a feast. Will definitely be staying there again on my business trips.

“Excellent.”

Reviewed 3 days ago NEW

This is a great B&B. Our room was like an upmarket apartment. The breakfast was superb and Helen went out of her way to make us feel at home. If you're tired after an overnight long haul flight this is the place to stay.

Spanking clean facility. High quality mattress ensured a very comfortable sleep. Very helpful, friendly and caring hosts provide all information and recommendations on what to do and where to go. Excellently centrally located in a good area with Gateway shopping centre, beach and so many restaurants all less than 5 minutes drive away. Ushaka International Airport and Durban city centre...

“Every time again”

I was there for just 2 nights to visit Durban. Very nice, modern and clean rooms and with a little luck you will have a room with a view to the sea. The "Crooked Tree Cottage" was really a good choice - thumb up. Every time agian!

“A place of rest, leisure and tranquility.”

Reviewed 17 May 2016

My stay at the Crooked Tree Cottage was beyond satisfactory. Not only was my room spacious, well stocked and included an immaculate view, by Helen and the rest of the staff were more than accommodating. I'd definitely recommend stopping off here to anyone who'd be staying in the area. Be it for a night or 10, you won't be disappointed.

Thank cayminl

Thank you for your wonderful words. I am happy that you had a good experience here and appreciate the feedback. I look forward to hosting you again for another visit to our sunny shores - esp this time of year when everywhere else is so chilly! More

As I arrived I had to depart quickly and was carrying alot of luggage, the housekeeper asks me to put my bags on the bed as she is mopping (instead of assisting me). Furthermore at 670 a night incl breakfast by room was small and the decor left much to be desired. I... More
