    We had a lovely stay at the Grange. The location was perfect, very central, and the facilities were awesome, beautifully furnished and decorated. Only downside was the quality of the coffee in the rooms, that should be improved as it does not meet the standard of everything else. Otherwise, a very enjoyable stay, thank you.

    Wonderful place to stay”

    Tanya as a host was fabulous. The place was clean and beautifully furnished. The only small issue i had, and if youre travelling alone, this will not matter to you much, is that the bathroom in the unit we stayed in, the walls were of drywalling and did not go up to the ceiling wish would have given one more privacy as the bathroom is in your room . It literally is the only small complaint i had, i will be staying there every time i go to Durban, i may just ask for a different room. The breakfast was absolute perfection, and the sfaff are brilliant. I highly recommend this place.
