Essenwood has gained a reputation as a peaceful destination,. No traffic noise, only the birds to wake you up in the morning.!Lovely tropical garden with large pool. All the amenities of Durban within minutes by car or taxi. Extra large rooms, most with their own balconies overlooking the view.
Essenwood is situated in Durban's most sought after residential neighbourhood, Close to stores, restaurants, beach, stadiums , botanical gardens, museums etc. The house is located down its own pan-handle drive and is completely secure. No break-ins in 20 years. Peaceful and quiet, no traffic noise, just the birds to wake you up!
