Thank you Ina, Eugene and all the doggies for a lovely stay! Not one negative thing to say about your property! Lovely garden and warm hospitality! Attention to detail. Great location for Indaba accommodation, as this is only a few kilometres away from Getaway Shopping Centre. See you next year, hopefully with the whole team.

I stayed here for 3 nights at the end of a business trip taking time out for some holidays. As a lone traveller I was looked after extremely well and the property owners and staff were very helpful, thoughtful and informative. Room 3 where I stayed is simply lovely! Great breakfast, lovely grounds, comfy bed, the only slight niggle being... More

We were here only a single night. The room was small and plain, but clean and certainly adequate. The grounds are pretty and very nicely kept, and the lodge has a quiet, secluded feeling. Great breakfast and the hosts were very pleasant.

Thank you for the kind review. Not all our rooms are the same size and configuration so when you next visit us perhaps we can accommodate you in one of the bigger rooms. If you go to our website info@gatewaycountrylodge.co.za and look at our Video's and Pictures area you can see 360 degree views of all our rooms and amenities.... More

My stay at Gateway Country Lodge was really great. From arrival until we left we received such a special service and attention, and my kids loved it as well. I highly recommend Gateway Country Lodge for a very peaceful and extremely comfortable stay.

If you are looking for a peaceful stay, in nature, away from the hustle and bustle, then this is where you want to be. The trees with all the birds going about their business, sitting on the verandah, relaxing, reading, and generally just recharging our batteries. We love the setting. The trees make it cool and refreshing and the pool... More

Highly recommended. Just a doorstep from the hustle but inside the walls it's serene, quiet and away from everything. Interior and exterior beautiful. Ina and Eugene's hospitality sincere. Could improve on breakfast, use less salt and make it more versatile, but you only notice that after 7 days, else it's great. :-)

February, 2013 was our second visit to the Gateway Country Lodge - the owners are very accommodating. The garden setting is beautiful - we had a very relaxing time again. We will use this facility again on our next return to Durban.

Make sure you get a recent map to get to the Lodge, not that easy to find. As we arrived in the evening and only stayed for 1 night, I can only make a short review. Welcoming was nice, friendly host, honesty bar. Rooms are clean, spacious and have a clean and fully equiped bathroom. Breakfast was OK, nothing to... More

My family and I stayed at Gateway Lodge in April 2012. After a horrendous flight from the UK with our two boys we couldnt have asked for a better place to stay. Beds beyond comfortable, room spotless and Ina's breakfasts are to die for! Would definitely recommend!
