“Stunning, peaceful location. Friendly host. Too cold to try the pool - but maybe next time! We did make use of the firepit / braai area which was lovely. You feel like you're in the middle of nowhere, but shops etc are easily accessible (by car).”

Kick back and relax in this calm, stylish space. From the bedroom and patio the views are amazing all the way to the sea on clear days. The apartment is modern and comfortable, it has just had a complete refurb. It is close to the highway for easy access to Hillcrest Village , and most of Durban. There is a shared pool in season as well as a fire pit for the colder evenings. We also have an inverter that’s operates Wi-Fi, lights and some plugs in case of load shedding.
It is always great to meet new guests from various parts of the country and those from overseas. We enjoy welcoming them to this unique part of Durban/South Africa. I enjoy the sea and the Durban life, I Surf ski, Canoe in the rivers and cycle.
You enter Winston Park through a beautiful tree lined road. The quiet suburb sits on top of a ridge with amazing views all the way to the sea. The area is very quiet and the birdlife is amazing. The sunrises are spectacular.
