1. The Oyster Box 5* – Pet Friendly Accommodation Durban

The Oyster Box

Overlooking the Umhlanga Lighthouse and Indian Ocean, The Oyster Box offers 2 outdoor pools, an award winning spa and free Wi-Fi. Gateway Shopping Centre is 2 km away.

The rooms at the 5-star Oyster Box are decorated with rich fabrics and furnishings. They include satellite TV, Mini Bar facilities and tea/coffee making facilities. Some guest rooms offer a private lounge area, patio and plunge pool.

The Ocean Terraces Restaurant overlooks the Indian Ocean and offers a delicious seafood and curry buffet. The Grill Room offers up the best premium steaks and seafood dishes.

Overlooking the beach, this upscale colonial-style hotel is 3 km from Umhlanga Lagoon Nature Reserve and 2 km from Bronze Beach.

 

Elegant, antiques-filled rooms feature private balconies (many with sea views), flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi, plus tea and coffeemaking facilities and fresh fruit and flowers. Suites add separate lounges; some have private plunge pools.

Breakfast is complimentary, and dining options include haute cuisine and high tea, plus bars and seafood.

There’s a spa with a hammam, a 24-hour gym and an oceanfront outdoor pool beside Umhlanga Lighthouse, as well as a 24-seat cinema and a kids’ activity programme.
Besides the old-school style and luxury it is the personal service that stands heads and shoulders above other hotels and resorts in South Africa, Africa and possibly the world. It is the sort of place where everyone remembers a face and a name.
From the ceramic murals on the passage walls, covetable art collection (including many South African Modernist masters like Cecil Skotnes) and the enviable wood paneled library with antique furniture and ceiling to floor bookshelves filled to the brim with coffee table books to browse.
Each room is individually and beautifully decorated, again echoing the boutique hotel feel. Besides the sea-facing rooms there are rooms with views of the tropical garden and the quieter garden area swimming pool.
As the ocean facing swimming pool can get quite crowded and rowdy, especially during holidays and weekends. Also in the secluded garden is the spa with a wonderful almost Balinese-style decor and spiralling staircase over 4 floors.
The hammam experience and plunge pool is a must.
Other worthwhile mentions include that the hotel is pet friendly. It’s resident cat Skabenga provides endless delights and tips on social media.
There is activities for children provided and a playroom. Children are also provided with special beach activity bags, even with little fishing nets for the rock pools.
The hotel is in walking distance to the promenade, beach, Whalebone pier, shops, local restaurants and Pearls Shopping Mall.
Big plus that they allow your pets and so gorgeous the first night to welcome the dogs we received doggie towels , doggie biscuits and a toy for them. They really were so accommodating , loved it.
Good news for animal lovers is that the hotel is pet-friendly which means that small pets travelling with their owners get 5-star treatment as well.

You have to stay at The Brothers Guest House while you visit KZN.
Great service, exceptional hosting and even our dog loved it there.

It is beautifully situated in an upmarket part of Durban North and is conveniently located near restaurants and the Durban beachfront. Our room was spotlessly clean and super comfortable.

The highlight of our stay was the friendliness of our hosts Robyn and Steven. Nothing was too much trouble to them. Can highly recommend. We will definitely be going back.

It is located in a lovely treed suburb in Durban North and very conveniently located for getting around.

Host Robyn is lovely and went out of her way to ensure that I was comfortable.

The room was cosy, impeccably clean and tidy. The room was made up every day and the linen was fresh.
it was a relief to get there at the end of each day.
