Vir ons 'n bekende omgewing wat ook die rede vir ons keuse was.

Baie lekker gebly in 'n omgewing waar ons jare terug gebly het. Vriendelikheid en hulpvaardigheid van die personeel was goed en het my tuis laat voel. Die veiligheid van die perseel insluitend parkering het ons op ons gemak geplaas. Baie dankie aan die personeel van Cowey's Corner.

For us a familiar environment which was also the reason for our choice.

Very nice stay in an environment where we stayed years ago. Friendliness and helpfulness of the staff was good and made me feel at home. The security of the premises including parking put us at ease. Many thanks to the staff at Cowey's Corner.

Ons sal enige tyd daar gaan oornag.

Die ontvangs was baie goed en die personeel baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die parkering vir 'n groot voertuig soos 'n bakkie was maar moeilik om by die hek in te kom en sal voorstel dat die eienaar dalk oorweeg om die hek te skuif and spasie vir voertuie nie genoeg as daar meer as twee groot bakkies en ander voertuie daar moet parkeer nie. Die ontbyt was fantasies en van baie goeie gehalte en regtig baie lekker. Probeer hulle gerus, ons sal beslis weer daar oornag as ons weer oornagverblyf benodig. Die eienaar was ook baie vriendelik en het ons vriendelik verwelkom. Dis nou waar jy wil bly as jy tuis en welkom wil voel.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

We will spend the night there anytime.

The reception was very good and the staff very friendly and helpful. The parking for a large vehicle such as a bakkie was difficult to get into the gate and would suggest that the owner might consider moving the gate and space for vehicles not enough if there are more than two large bakkies and other vehicles must not park there. The breakfast was fantastic and of very good quality and really very tasty. Do give them a try, we will definitely stay there again if we need overnight accommodation again. The owner was also very friendly and welcomed us kindly. Now that's where you want to stay if you want to feel at home and welcome.

Beste Hester,

Baie dankie vir jou resensie, dit is so lekker om te lees dat ons gaste hul verblyf geniet het, en dat alles na wense was.

Parkering is 'n groot probleem in Durban, maar ons sal kyk na ander opsies. Baie dankie dat jy dit vir ons uitwys, as ons gaste vir ons probleme kan uitwys, waardeer ons dit. Ons wil graag hê dat almal hul ondervinding by ons ten volle geniet.

Hoop om jou weer te sien.

Goeie kliëntediens en uitstekende ligging.

Ons het ons verblyf by Cowey's Corner meer as voldoende gevind vir ons doeleindes. Dit is goed geleë, met verskeie restaurante en kosplekke binne (letterlik) loopafstand. Dit is ook maklik om op die roetes na die stad te kom, asook buite die stad. Die blyplek self is gerieflik, skoon en netjies, met die gebruik van die kombuis (met koffie en tee fasiliteite) wat dit maklik maak om self middag/aandete uit te sorteer. Daar was 'n effense misverstand ten opsigte van ons bespreking, maar die personeel en eienaar het dit vinnig vir ons uitgesorteer. Ons sal definitief weer gebruik maak van hierdie verblyf!

Good customer service and awesome location.

Our stay at Cowey's Corner was completely sufficient to our needs. It is well located and there are various restaurants and food joints within walking distance. It is also easy to get onto the routes toward and out of the city. The accommodation is comfortable, neat and clean and the kitchen with coffee en tea facilities made it easy to sort out our lunch and dinner. Although there was somewhat of a misunderstanding regarding our booking, the owner was able to sort it out promptly. We will definitely use this accommodation again!

Heerlike verblyf!

Ons het Cowey's Corner gekies as 'n oornag-stop vir voor en na ons MSC skeepsvaart. Ons is vriendelik ontvang en het baie vinnig tuis gevoel. Die kamers is skoon en netjies en die groot beddens met hul sagte, wit dekens het vir 'n heerlike nagrus gesorg! Elke kamer het ook 'n groot platskerm-TV in gehad. Cowey's Corner is baie gerieflik geleë, met 'n Vida e Café net 'n blok ver en 'n paar restaurante wat mens saam terug wil vat huis toe! The Market restaurant is beslis 'n MOET! Die personeel was heeltyd vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die kamers en badkamers is pragtig netjies en skoon! Baie knus atmosfeer! Sal dit sterk aanbeveel!

Great stay!

We chose Cowey's Corner as an overnight stop for before and after our MSC cruise. We were received kindly and felt at home very quickly. The rooms are clean and tidy and the large beds with their soft, white blankets ensured a great night's rest! Each room also had a large flat screen TV in it. Cowey's Corner is very conveniently located, with a Vida e Café just a block away and a few restaurants that you want to take home with you! The Market restaurant is definitely a MUST! The staff were always friendly and helpful. The rooms and bathrooms are beautifully neat and clean! Very cozy atmosphere! Would highly recommend!

Cowey's Corner is fantastic

In person, this place looks 200% better than the pictures on the website. Clean, spacious rooms. You can choose either shower or bath for you room. The staff is friendly. Breakfast superb. Tasty and a wide variety to choose from. The owner Richard was wonderful - we loved him. A guys guy, and a man you can have drinks with. Converses with you like a normal person in a normal conversation and no insincere robotic "yes sir, no sir" lol. They also offer free Wi-Fi which my friend loved and enjoyed. I am definitely booking it for my next trip to Durban. It's really, really fabulous. Not far from Florida street where Durban's night life happens. We walked 15-20 minutes, and never felt threatened. But I would recommend a car though for the night riders. In terms of location to the beach: it's a bit more cumbersome especially as tourist, but as an explorer you will enjoy finding your way to the beach from there. Feels safe and guests are not in each others way. *** You are able to order breakfast anytime you want and you are not forced to order it within a certain time frame. Anytime you want to wake up, Its breakfast time, and it is served within 20 minutes after you have ordered *** I think it is not star-rated by TGCSA, but personally I would give them 4 stars!

The service was great, except there was no DStv and only SABC channels

We really enjoyed our stay at Cowey's Corner, and the service was great! We also found the place was quite safe to be in. The only disappointment we experienced was the DStv channels advertised were not available and there was only SABC channels - and we missed out on our favorite shows. Other than that, a great stay.

Decent ... except for some water woes

I did enjoy my stay and Iâ??m also willing to visit you again in the future. Beside that, I bathed with cold water during my stay, so please ensure your geyser is able to accommodate the number of guests, or put in an extra geyser if necessary, I will be so glad if you attend to that urgent matter. Otherwise I enjoyed an overall good stay.
