Catherine
We had a lovely couple of nights stay. It’s a great location for visiting Umhlanga, everyone was lovely and the accommodation was extremely comfortable with a lovely lounge at the top of the property, with a great view of the sea. Highly recommend and will stay again when next visiting
JERALD
Staying in the Ocean View was a delightful surprise. The owner, Snezana, went above and beyond to ensure we were well cared for. From tea and juice, an abundance of information, to the beauty of the sight itself, we were delighted, to say the least. I can't remember feeling more welcomed anywhere. The room was extremely clean with a beautiful balcony with a view of the Indian Ocean. We enjoyed sitting out and listening to the water. The bathroom was very large and well-appointed. The breakfast was excellent and in a beautiful environment. I would highly recommend Ocean View Boutique Hotel to anyone staying in Durban at any time!!!
Paul
Outstanding staff.
Jessie

Debra
Everything for this property is absolutely 10 out of 10, absolute excellence, and the host extremely helpful in every way you need.
andrea
Ocean Vista was the perfect spot to relax and regroup after a long week on safari. The relaxing space, the warm and welcoming staff was above and beyond. Such a beautiful outdoor space to unwind - the views are spectacular.
Fredrik
The best place in Umhlanga
This is a hidden diamond and particularly if you are tired of big, famous hotel chains which keep promising but never delivers. Here is the opposite the staff is fantastic and so also the ocean view. Very clean and a super breakfast.
Johanda
Me and my son stayed here on a tennis tour. Perfect view, breakfast is excellent. The whole guesthouse is very clean! Snezana is a wonderful hostess!
Dana
We were only here for two nights. We were exploring Durban which didn't permit much time at the guest house. We found the check in and check out smooth and efficient. Svenana is an exceptional hostess, she is warm and inviting. You feel right at home here
The home is extremely clean and serene. We enjoyed the peace, the sound of the waves at night, the cozy bed and ease getting to restaurants and beach. You could spend the entire day reading on the sun deck. Lovely. Will return.

Lovely views of the ocean from our balcony. Private and safe. Very personal guesthouse like service and attention by the host. Attention to detail is excellent; something I haven’t seen in a while. Highly recommended by experienced travelers.
