Where to Stay in Durban

There are plenty of hotels in Durban to choose from so you shouldn't have any trouble finding something to suit your needs and budget. Opting to stay close to the beach always tends to cost a little more, but there are a number of affordable backpacker lodges and guesthouses catering to those on a budget as well as innumerable mid-range high-rise hotels that line the beachfront. Many taking a break in Durban prefer to stay in the city's suburbs, where your budget goes a lot further and things tend to be a little less hectic, that said there are still plenty of bars, restaurants and shopping malls to discover. Whatever you're after, have a good look around online and be sure to book well in advance to get the best rates.

Top Attractions in Durban

The Golden Mile is a big hit with holidaymakers and its beaches are one of the main attractions of the area and a place you can bask in the sun, take a dip in the Indian Ocean or even go surfing. If you're after culture, a trip to the Mahatma Gandhi Settlement will immerse you in the Zulu way of life while a day out at Crocodile Creek will allow you to get up close to hundreds of reptiles! For fantastic views of the sprawling city (it's the third biggest in South Africa) during your Durban holiday head to La Lucia Ridge.
