We recently brought a group of about 20 people to Durban, and choosing Sica’s Guest House turned out to be one of our best decisions. Carri-Ann kept in touch with us consistently before arrival, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free.

The shower heated up quickly and delivered strong water pressure—no complaints there. Overall, this was a top-tier experience from start to finish. A truly memorable stay, highly recommended for both groups and solo travelers alike.

The Mesami Hotel is a modern property with spacious rooms and a decent English breakfast. However, the quality of service is inconsistent—sometimes friendly and professional, other times abrupt and unfriendly, which can be off-putting. The neighborhood is quiet, residential, and very secure, but it’s strongly advised not to walk around outside due to nearby sensitive areas. Getting to downtown or even dining just a few blocks away requires taking a taxi. For better convenience and access to amenities, staying along Marine Parade would be a smarter choice.
