4 BEDROOM LUXURIOUS HOLIDAY HOUSE BY-THE-SEA (DURBAN) // Think perfect rolling waves and pristine sandy beaches where you can wander for hours in either direction and only meet the occasional fisherman following in his family's age-old tradition. Garvies Beach is Durban's best-kept secret destination. Despite the old joke – "rough and tough on the Bluff" – Garvies is a safe beach and always quiet due to its difficult access and the lack of parking, though from the Surf House, it's just a short walk down to the beach. But the ideal spot is the deck: sitting out here in the sun – or under the evening stars – you can enjoy a 180 degree sea view, often with the good fortune of watching dolphins and whales play in the surf below. With features that include a splash pool and both an inside and outside patio, this double storey holiday home is the perfect choice for a getaway in balmy Durban weather.
In Room Facilities:VILLA GENERAL Garvies Surf House is a double storey house featuring 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, inside and outside patio, bar, study and a splash pool.

Beaches.
Cleanliness and friendly, helpful staff. Close to restaurants and ocean.
Garvies surf house is the best guest house to stay during your visit. Me and my cousins enjoyed every moment, watching whales and dolphins through the window was the best memory. Shops are nearby. Very neat, quiet and friendly staff. I am definitely going there again for the third time.
Leeanne and her husband was very helpfull and friendly.
