The Beverly Hills of Durban
The Forest Manor B&B is an oasis by the sea. We arrived to a welcoming and hospitable staff who was more than accommodating to our every need. While the overall stay, the daily breakfast, the ambiance and location were more than we could ask, the bathroom was not 100% clean on arrival. Staff quickly remedied the matter and we were not the least bit inconvenienced. Would absolutely stay there again!!

They were so helpful and accommodating. We had problems with our rental car, so they secured us a taxi for our trip to the airport. This place was beautiful and comfortable. The breakfast and staff were wonderful.

Fantastic BnB
The Forest Manor was fantastic. We booked the 2 bedroom family sweet (named Mikkwood). It was beautiful with great Air Con and a balcony. The pool was really nice. Breakfast was excellent and made to order and the WiFi was really strong. The best part of this hotel however was the staff. They were really helpful and let us keep the ro for a few hours longer due to a late flight out. The location is great, walk to the beach and a short drive/UBer to the Umhlanga village. I highly recommend this hotel.

Top Notch
Everything about Forest Manor is well thought out to the guests every comfort and need throughout ones stay. Our room, White Seringa, was spacious, clean and had the comfort of a 5 star resort. No shortcuts have been taken and quality products are offered throughout- vanity kit, real coffee (instant for those who would like), robes, you name it. Absolute value for money - don’t think twice, just book!
