Peace from city noise.

Lovely host. Very gracious. Perhaps worth mentioning, is if you do not drive, this may not be a good location. If you do not mind depending on taxis for pickup and return, not a problem.

Like a Homestay!

I had a great time at the Troll and Tulip Bed and Breakfast. Owners John and Peggy are a lovely couple who made me feel right at home. They welcomed me with a family style meal the first night, and John cooked a homestyle breakfast each morning. The setting was clean and comfortable, situated in a safe, quiet neighborhood. As this was my first time in Durban, John provided invaluable tips, suggestions and wonderful stories. I wanted to move there!
