Sica's Guest House
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. From the moment we stepped in, the staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive—exactly what you want when traveling with a large group. We had dinner at the guest house, and the food was absolutely outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. Breakfast was included and offered a great variety; they even happily made omelets on request. The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-maintained, with plenty of room for luggage and comfortable, firm beds that ensured a good night’s sleep. 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.

We were traveling from Kruger National Park toward Port Elizabeth and decided to stop in Durban for one night. Honestly, we were a bit overwhelmed by the size of the city at first, but Ridgeview Lodge made our stay absolutely seamless. The staff went above and beyond—anticipating our needs before we even asked—and helped us unwind completely. The cozy, well-maintained rooms offered a peaceful retreat after a long day on the road. We were able to rest comfortably and continue our journey at 2:00 AM with zero stress. It’s rare to find such genuine hospitality in a small lodge setting, especially in a bustling city like Durban. The location is convenient, the atmosphere is warm, and the attention to detail truly stands out. If you're passing through Durban, this is definitely the place to stay.
