We loved that the pictures online were not deceiving, everything was exactly as it was on the pictures so that came as bonus for us. We loved the peace and quiet of the area. Everything we needed in the facility was at our disposal🙂. It's definitely a place worth going back and telling others about. I loved everything about the place.

Ridgeview is a very beautiful boutique hotel, with a nice garden and a terrace with a view of the harbour. The room was very comfortable, with very convenient amenities provided and renewed everyday. The garden and terrace were very relaxing (if you do not mind the monkeys on the surface of the building), and just sitting on the terrace was a treat. The landlady, Vasantha, is a very knowledgeable and caring person who goes out of her way to take care of her guest. She gave me very valuable information about Durban and South Africa in general and took very good care of my safety during my stay.

I absolutely loved staying at Sylvia’s apartment, my stay was a 10/10! The apartment had everything that I needed for my stay…loved that it has a grill. Everything was spotless and I appreciated the daily cleaning service. Also, I would like to extend a special thank you for the free welcome snacks, soft drink and water - as someone who lives abroad, I was super excited to indulge on the South African snacks 😊😊😊. This is by far my favourite apartment at the Qauyside, and I will definitely book again in the near future.
