We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Anchors Rest. Our bedroom was beautifully clean and thoughtfully equipped. The gardens and pool area are well maintained and a pleasure to use. The location is great – quiet but within easy walking distance to the beach, shops, restaurants and bars. A good breakfast sets you up for the day! The owners are excellent hosts with years of experience who go the extra mile ensure your stay in a good one.

Love this place. Its our third visit and the hosts really made us feel welcome. Comfortable rooms and great breakfasts. Just a short walk from the main high street and beach it could not be in a better location. Will definitely return again next year.

Most definitely the best stay we have had in the Durban/Umhlanga area. Cilla & Peter are the best hosts, warm & friendly tending to our every need. Anchor's Rest is just lovely, beautiful setting, save area & close to all the restaurants. VERY comfortable beds. We enjoyed a morning walk on the beach. Best breakfast - Omelets to die for. We will definitely stay at Anchor's Rest on our next visit. Real value for money.

A very nice property with lots of character. Set in a quiet location near to shopping malls and restaurants. A family run guest house giving a warm welcome to anyone booking a break who were happy to give advice should you require it. A good selection of food available for breakfast. No more than 5 minutes from all major roads. Secure parking on site. An enjoyable stay.
