“a wonderful retreat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 May 2011

we stayed here for three nights during easter weekend with our daughter and son-in-law, we were in dragonfly room which was really comfortable and had some lovely attention to detail. Richard and Glenda were charming hosts and made us feel totally at home. Breakfast was a lovely selection and good quality food. Wish we lived nearer as we would visit more often - but at we live in the UK not likely but would certainly stay here again if we are ever in the area.

“Fabulous room, wonderful hosts”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 October 2010

We had two nights at the end of our holiday in S Africa. Richard and Glenda were wonderful hosts, going out of their way to ensure we had a great time whilst staying with them.

We had the Guinea Fowl Suite which was beautiful. Breakfast was delicious and the views stunning. We saw a whale breeching on the second morning whilst sipping our coffee!

There are some local restaurants close by which serve great food.

I highly recommend The Dunes.

“Very welcoming place”

people found this review helpful

Very conveniently located half an hour from Durban, with easy access off the motorway, but outside the sprawl of the city, this is a great guesthouse with very friendly family owners, Richard, Glenda and Michelle. The quality of the accommodation was exceptional (recommend the Guinea Fowl Suite, on two floors), the breakfast excellent, and the sea views stunning. Very good value. Would definitely return.
