Fairlight Beach House

We arrived in Durban on a late afternoon flight and stayed at Fairlight Beach House for just one night before our onward travels — or at least that was the plan. I’m sure others have written about the spacious, comfortable rooms and the stunning view over the beach and the Indian Ocean. Unfortunately, my wife became ill overnight and was in no state for a long drive, so we weren’t able to fully enjoy the beach house.|During breakfast alone, I explained the situation to the staff. A late check-out was no problem, and they kindly asked whether I needed any medical assistance. Fortunately, the situation wasn’t too serious, but I did ask whether it might be possible to extend our stay. The beach house was, however, fully booked, so I resigned myself to searching for nearby accommodation. Amazingly, the owners quickly found a solution for us, completely removing the stress from the situation.|In the end, my wife felt better by late morning, and we continued our journey. Nevertheless, I was impressed by the exceptional level of customer care and attention we received. It was greatly appreciated.

Fairlight Beach House is an amazing place to stay. This is my second time staying here while in transit - in between travels and it is such a great place to relax and retreat. The views from the room are out of this world. The hosts are really kind and the staff are top notch. Definitely staying here again in the future. And the breakfast in the morning is really sumptuous.

This lovely beach house offers an amazing value for money. The rooms are spacious and the location right on Umdloti Beach is just perfect. I will not forget the peaceful nights and falling asleep with the sound of the ocean in the background

From the arrival to the departure, the service and hospitality was top class. The rooms were spacious, the breakfast was delicious. With the 180 degree sea view, and the noise of the crashing waves, we will be back. We loved our mini break.

It is quite rare to find in customer service, a host that goes beyond in every sense of the word. Professional, kind and all around amazing and Colin is that. Highly recommend. Update: in the middle of our stay currently and absolutely nothing to complain about! Staff friendly, service impeccable and just all round a beautiful stay so far! Also a shout out to the lovely Emma :) (and Fred the cat:) )

We arrived here late at night, but we were still able to check-in. We got a quick introduction, the most important part being not to leave the windows open because of the baboons. We had a lovely spacious room with beautiful view over the sea. The one weird thing was that you could look outsight through the blinder from within the shower. But maybe the other way around was not possible. The breakfast was good, with your own table reserved. The staff was friendly. Unfortunately, we had to leave after 1 night.

The people working there are so friendly, the house is clean. Breakfast was good. ||Only had one challenge of getting a room that we did not book for. ||

Emma was very friendly, helpful and organised. The room was spotless and very comfortable. The breakfast was fresh and delicious. We will definitely be back!
