Guesthouse vacation rentals in Bluff

Home from home! What a gem of a place. Situated in a prime location with all amenities nearby. What suited us was the birdlife and the tranquility of the setting. Shirley-Ann is a delightful host and, after a month-long stay, we are now firm friends and will stay connected. There is not a negative aspect to report: only a rave review of a rare find! We look forward to our return as we visit family and friends in Durban regularly. I highly recommend this cottage. Thank you Shirley-Ann.

Thanks so much for being being such a wonderful host to my daughter for the month long stay with you Janina. Sincerely appreciated that the accommodation is safe, secure for her. Sincerely garners my our recommendation as a place to stay. brilliant amenities and close proximity to what we needed.

We spent four weeks in Trish's accommodation with my partner and children. It was fantastic. We felt at home and very well looked after by the hostess. The house is lovely and very comfortable. The views were wonderful. Some days we saw giraffes and zebras in the distance and my children loved watching the monkeys jumping from tree to tree. None of us wanted to leave the house, it was one of the best finds of our trip to South Africa. We hope to return one day, thank you Trish!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, love Hajra who really takes good care of the place. Marian is always checking in and keeps us updated. This is our third stay and will be returning. Thank you Marian and Hajra.

Beautiful garden house with pool and ocean view. We really enjoyed working remotely from there and then relaxing in the evening or having a braai with the awesome hosts (and their lovely dogs) We had everything we needed. Total recommendation this one!

Every aspect of our stay was delightful. We really enjoyed our time in Ivy Cottage, and felt totally at home. The view is spectacular and panoramic, making our braai (BBQ) in the garden so memorable. Speaking of which, the provided Weber appears to be new, and such a welcome amenity given the location. Everything has been thought of: the kitchen is very well stocked with good quality crockery & cutlery, the bathroom kitted out with shampoo, conditioner, lotion, etc. The bed is extremely comfortable with crisp & luxurious percale linen. Everything was spotless when we arrived. The TV has Netflix with a separate profile for the Ivy Cottage, so we could watch movies without having to have a personal account (a rarity, in our experience). Megan is a wonderful host and was the most responsive we've ever dealt with. I have no reservations in wholeheartedly recommending Ivy Cottage for your next stay in Umhlanga - we're certainly hoping to have an opportunity to stay here again!

Staying at The Cottage was a lovely getaway from the hustle and bustle, with everything we could need as a group of 3 staying together. The home itself was welcoming and safe, and we truly felt right at home. The verandah and garden were an added plus on sunny days when we could sit outside and eat.

Lovely view of the harbour from the veranda, and the host was also very responsive to any needs I had during my stay.

Nice and private garden if you have a little infant. :-) stayed 17 days helped us with our washing. Cleaned flat nicely every 2 days. Very welcoming always friendly and asking us how was our day out. Lovely quiet area so many trees and hills to go running and long walks :-) such a nice family friendly area. Coffee shops all over. Loved it 😻

Daphne is an exceptional host—warm, friendly, and always willing to help. Her place is beautifully maintained, spotlessly clean, and perfectly located near all the must-visit spots in Durban. If you're unsure where to explore, Daphne and Kelly have fantastic recommendations—just ask! They are truly wonderful.

Beautiful little place, peaceful and close to all shops. Samantha went the extra mile for us and always checked in to see if everything was ok. Will definitely book again. Thank you, Samantha, for helping us so promptly. X

Quiet, private, and spacious place. You can’t beat the freedom you get staying here. The location is a plus if that is the vibe you’re looking for. It even has a terrace! I’d love to come back in the future. Thank you.

David’s place was even better than the pictures… Our booking was very last minute, but David was extremely helpful. The unit was also very private!! We loved everything about the place♥️

The place stunning beautiful furniture closure to the mall you can walk, private and quite. We enjoyed our stay

We had a great stay at the Snug Guesthouse. We worked remotely for most of our stay - the great WiFi and two working spots made this easy. Beds are comfortable and good air conditioning. The location suited us well and the garden was lush and relaxing. We also really enjoyed the swimming pool 🌊 Nic and Mendi are responsive and helpful hosts. We've shared some minor improvements with them and we noted they actively maintain the aircons, roofs and carpets. Excellent value for money and a comfy stay - we would visit again. Thanks for having us!

I really enjoyed my stay here — it’s such a peaceful and private space. The quiet surroundings and natural beauty, with all the plants and flowers, make it the perfect spot to relax and unwind. It honestly gave me the breather I didn’t know I needed. I was genuinely sad when I couldn’t extend my stay, but I completely understand as someone else had booked. This place is a gem — I’d definitely love to come back in the future.

Great family property to stay in!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! A very beautiful place with everything you need from a short to long stay.

Thank you for the stay at your cottage and assistance with the extra fence over the gate it really helped us to relax and feel at home knowing our small dogs could not get out. Our dogs are escape artists. Host is friendly, helpful and attentive. We would happily recommend this to anyone looking for a beautiful getaway in the Durban area.

Amazing place, looks as good the pictures. The bed was the highlight of the stay, most comfortable Airbnb bed I’ve ever experienced! Will definitely book this space again when in Durban.

Once again the perfect place for business stop over in Durban. Thank you!
