I once again had a wonderful stay at this Guesthouse. It was wonderfully relaxing and restful, away from the holiday crowd. The staff, as usual, are all very accommodating and friendly.

I don't usually write reviews but I wanted to share my experience. I shot into Durban for a business trip and found the Heron online. I must say I was very pleasantly surprised.
