Mackaya Bella Guest House  Verified Listing

I stayed here for one week while visiting my husband who is currently living in Durban. He has stayed here for over a month & has loved it so much that he has changed his initial plan of moving to another place, and booked for the remaining 2 months of his stay. We stayed in one of the flats, which was very spacious, clean & well maintained. They have a wide variety of breakfast options, from very healthy to very yummy (sausages, bacon, etc). All the staff is always smiling & friendly.

What a warm and welcome stay. Our hosts were the absolute best and nothing was too much trouble. We have definitely found our Durban home and have already booked our stay for next year. Very comfortable and well appointed.

Lovely, warm, hosts, Nicky and Mike, really made our stay very special. Very comfortable rooms, great beds and linen, spacious shower. Breakfast was lovely. Parking on the property. We felt so at home during a short and exhausting trade show. We've already booked for next year!

I came to Durban for my first time to work with the University of KwaZulu-Natal. I chose this guesthouse over a big chain hotel further away, and I'm glad I did. The location is very close to the university's Howard campus. The staff are super-friendly & the owners are too. The rooms are nicely done & functional; the WiFi pretty good for South Africa; the gardens are beautiful. The location is residential, so don't expect restaurants/shops next door but there are some within a twenty min walk.

By far of the best guest houses I have stayed at. I felt like an extended family member as I was well treated by the staff and owners. They made my stay a memorable one. I would recommend Mackaya Bella guest house to my family and friends and next time I visit Durban, I am definitely going to stay there :)
