Rustig en baie mooi. By die see.

Since my last visit, the guest house has deteriorated a lot. No swimming towels as they undertook. No bottled water in own and communal fridges.

Sedert my laaste besoek het die gastehuis baie agteruit gegaan. Geen swemhanddoeke soos hulle onderneem het nie. Geen gebottelde water in eie en kommunale yskaste nie.

Cowrie Cove Guest House

Good afternoon Heinrich, Thank you for your positive feedback. Firstly, we no longer keep bottled water in the mini bar fridge as with the current condition of drinking water in Ethekweni we now supply a water fountain with filtered water free of charge to the guests which are available 24/7. Glasses and takeaway paper cups are available in the unit. Towels are always available in the Gazebo and may have been used by the other guests if you had asked the staff or myself, who are on duty until 20:00, we would have readily supplied the towels to you. Regards, Caroline

Goeie middag Heinrich, Dankie vir jou positiewe terugvoer. Eerstens hou ons nie meer gebottelde water in die yskassie nie, want met die huidige toestand van drinkwater in Ethekweni voorsien ons nou 'n waterfontein met gefiltreerde water gratis aan die gaste wat 24/7 beskikbaar is. Glase en wegneem-papierkoppies is in die eenheid beskikbaar. Handdoeke is altyd beskikbaar in die Gazebo en mag dalk deur die ander gaste gebruik gewees het as jy die personeel of myself, wat tot 20:00 aan diens is, gevra het, sou ons die handdoeke geredelik aan jou verskaf het. Groete, Caroline

It was the best stay yet. Very nice stay, everything was the best and especially because there is access to the beach from the house. Walking by the sea in the morning and being able to watch the sunrise is the best.

Dit was die beste verblyf nog. Baie lekker gebly, als was die beste en veral omdat daar toegang na die strand is van die huis. Om in oggend langs see te stap en sonsopkoms te kan kyk is die beste.

Fantasmagories. Where to start? Hosts and staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Top notch rooms. The bathrooms are an experience on their own. One has to look far for better! Definitely five star.

Waar om te begin? Gashere en personeel was ongelooflik vriendelik en behulpsaam. Kamers uit die boonste rakke. Die badkamers is 'n ervaring op sy eie. Mens gaan baie ver soek vir beter! Beslis vyf-ster.

Rooms very modern and clean. The stay felt like a home away from home. Staff very competent and friendly. The breakfast was delicious with a large variety of dishes.

Kamers baie modern en skoon. Die verblyf het gevoel soos 'n huis weg van jou huis af. Personeel baie bekwaam en vriendelik. Die ontbyt was heerlik met 'n groot verskeidenheid van geregte.

Best accommodation in Umhlanga ever! Cowrie Cove is an oustanding accommodation option. I will only make use of them in my future travels to Durban and surrounds.

Die beste verblyf in Umhlanga ooit! Cowrie Cove is 'n uitsonderlike verblyfopsie. Ek sal in die toekoms slegs hulle gebruik vir reise na Durban en omgewing.

Extremely delighted with this gem! I have travelled to Durban on a handful of occasions and have been disappointed more often than not. I stumbled across Cowrie Cove Guest House on TravelGround, and have to say the entire experience was a pleasure. The pictures do not do the venue justice. The service is attentive, but not overbearing. They seemed to mirror exactly what I like when I go away: have the facilities and service, yet do not impose a contrived customer service upon their guests. The bed was king-sized and super firm. I had a wonderful and peaceful sleep. In the morning I let myself out the back gate and went for a morning run on the beach only 50 m away. Only to return to a stunning shower which I stood under for 15 minutes. As a Capetonian, we are short on water right now, so barely get 2 minutes under the showerhead before you have to jump out. Breakfast was a feast and a complete bonus. Nowhere did I read breakfast was included and was surprised when they said it was. Great value for money. I tried to be a good boy and refrain from the full fry up, but the cook gave me half a pig in bacon rashers! It was yummy. I have now found my special haven when I return to Durban.
