I stayed at Cowrie Cove for 6 nights in December with my husband. The place is beautiful, the service is excellent and the breakfasts are delicious. I also found that the location is very convenient - close to malls, shops and beaches, with easy access to the highways. The room we stayed in, no 9, was palatial - with a... More

I stayed for one night in Cowrie Cove on December the 8th. My only complaint is that I was not staying for longer. The new owners Garth and Kym were very accomodatting. When I arrived Garth personally collected me from the airport which was a really nice touch and made me feel very at home. The Guest house was stunning... More

I found Cowrie Cove in desperation after finding myself at an overrated and highly unpleasant B&B in Westville. Moving from that to Cowrie was the best thing ever. From the time we arrived and met the owners to the bottle of wine we had under the Lapa to the unbelievably spacious bedroom and bathroom, beautifully furnished, to the breakfast spread... More

I have stayed here several times and always feel welcome and relaxed, which is great when you are far from home and family. The decor and hospitality are second to none and the owners Caroline and Koebus are charming and interesting people, always happy to sit for a chat and a beer, go for a walk on the beach or... More

We have stayed at Cowrie Cove five times now, when on business in the Durban area (although also lovely for holiday as it is just off the beach..). Rooms 1, 3 and 5 are palatial and the attention to service, decor and food is outstanding. Caroline and her staff are amongst the friendliest and helpful hosts we've encountered. Will be... More

This guest house has had a very successful contemporary make-over & is a delightful place to stay. We were there for 3 nights. A graet location adjacent to the beach, really stylish & comfortable bedroom (although we would have paid the modest amount extra for the extra space in the superior/de luxe had a tour operator given us the choice),...

Stayed for four nights in mid November, and we cannot fault anything about this fantastic guest house. We took over the majority of the nine rooms as we were attending a family wedding. Cowrie Cove is located in a leafy suburb of north Durban close to Umhlanga Rocks, and through a short path you are a fantastic beach. The grounds... More
