A Charming Oasis in Durban: The Acorn B&B
Our recent stay at the Acorn B&B in Durban was nothing short of delightful. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by its old-school charm and the warm, welcoming hospitality of the two lovely hosts. I cannot praise this B&B enough for its unique blend of comfort, friendliness, and convenience. What truly sets this B&B apart, however, is the exceptional hospitality of the hosts. From the moment we arrived until our departure, they went out of their way to make us feel at home. Their genuine friendliness and willingness to assist with any request made our stay memorable. We even had the pleasure of sitting down with them for a chat, which felt like catching up with old friends. The location of the Acorn B&B is also worth highlighting. Nestled in a serene and quiet area of Durban, it provided the perfect respite from the bustling city, allowing us to unwind and relax. Yet, it is conveniently situated close to all the attractions and amenities that Durban has to offer. Whether you're looking to explore the vibrant city center, soak up the sun on the beaches, or indulge in local cuisine, everything is just a short drive away. In summary, our stay at the Acorn B&B was an absolute pleasure. If you appreciate old-school charm, impeccable service, and a tranquil oasis in the heart of Durban, I wholeheartedly recommend this B&B. We left with fond memories and a longing to return to this exceptional establishment.

Spectacular Stay in Acorn B&B
My stay with my husband was amazing. The place was isolated from the noise and buzz, the welcoming from owner and staff was heart warming, it really made us feel at home. The place was clean, the rooms were so clean I could pick up a single lash. The place had a very homely and comforting feeling about it. We will definitely make it our go to accommodation when in Durban again.

Beautiful place inside and out however I was upset at the fact that my booking included breakfast but I was told by the owner this would not be provided. Didn't ask if I was willing to pay for it either just left it at that. We booked a bnb for that specific reason.

4/10 Fair

Property itself is beautiful. There's a lovely doggy named Tammy who stays there. We were placed in a room we didn't book, due to the previous guests people in our booked room extending their stay. This was fine by us since the new room was very nicely done. Although I was told that I would have parking made available to me, when messaging the owner for a key he never responded, sadly. Our first night, there was a fight in the courtyard due to unruly guests and police came over but I'm very sure this is a rare occurrence. The owner, Dom, seemed to have a good control over the situation once aware of it. Disappointed about parking since it caused us to check out a day earlier for safety concerns. However should I ever find myself visiting Durban as a tourist. I would definitely stay again.

2/10 Poor

My booking included breakfast but when I told the owner Don Atkinson about breakfast, he said to me Hotels.com did not pay for breakfast, I had no choice but to pay for it again. It was terrible breakfast, eggs had to much salt, I asked for a brown toast and he gave me white toast. Above all, lesson learnt. My son enjoyed the swimming pool plus the internet connectivity was good.
