Accommodation

Accommodation ranges from the luxurious, 5 Star establishments from as little as $90/night, to delightful B&B’s in most suburbs and towns, where you might pay $25 or even less.

There are too many to mention, but speaking first hand I would happily recommend

The Edward, 5 stars, right on the beachfront, famous for it’s seafood smorgasbords, ($23) and host to Royalty past and present.

Tina’s hotel in Kloof, 30kms out of Durban, up in the mist-belt, wonderful colonial-type atmosphere, but only 20 mins from town. A great pub, with excellent food, friendly service, and comfortable accommodation.

Babanango Hotel, out in Zululand, near the famous battlefields of the Zulu wars, has amazing atmosphere, with a bar full of history, militaria, and visitors underwear.
