We have 3 self catering garden cottages all private from one another. Your home away from home in the heart of Durban North.
Welcome! Hi and thank you for choosing our cottage for your stay. I am so happy to host you and hope you’ll feel right at home from the moment you arrive. If you need anything at all before or during your stay, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Wishing you a comfortable and relaxing visit! Warm regards, Chantal
Our private self catering cottage at 15 Melrose Avenue, Durban North is nestled in one of Durban’s most beloved and vibrant suburbs — a place many guests say feels like a perfect blend of relaxed coastal living and lively local culture. Durban North is well known for its welcoming community, leafy streets, and a great mix of cafes, restaurants, and conveniences right on your doorstep. Just minutes away you’ll find charming local dining favorites such as Cafe Mayfair for coffee and breakfast, classic Italian at The Mad Italian, delicious Greek fare at Nikos Durban North, and premium steaks at Barnaby's Grillhouse. There’s also great casual dining and drinks nearby like Connors Public House, coffee spots like Roast Rebel Coffee and Fig Tree Coffee, plus plenty more international flavors — from Korean at Crazy Korean Durban North to Portuguese at Julios Casa Portuguese Restaurant and classic favorites like Lupa Osteria Durban North. For those who love outdoor experiences, the Umgeni River Bird Park — a lush sanctuary with hundreds of exotic birds — is right in the area and makes for a fun morning outing. There are also lovely green pockets such as the Seaton Park Nature Reserve and the Beachwood Mangroves Nature Reserve, great for a peaceful stroll or a bit of nature watching. If you’re keen to explore further, the beautiful Golden Mile beaches, bustling markets, and vibrant cultural and restaurant scenes in central Durban and nearby Umhlanga are all easily accessible by a short drive. Whether you’re here to unwind, explore, or indulge in fantastic food, you’ll quickly see why guests love staying in Durban North — a neighborhood that truly has something for everyone.
