It offers quick access to Durban’s city centre, King Shaka International Airport and numerous stylish shopping centres. Accommodation is in a classic sea-facing room and includes breakfast daily, and one 30-minute back, neck and shoulder massage, per person, per stay.
On day seven, guests transfer to King Shaka International Airport and fly to OR Tambo International Airport.
