Patrick
Waterloo Guest House is situated in the quiet, leafy suburb of Westville, on top of a hill with views of the sea, as well as inland. Guests can relax at the pool in the spacious garden where tortoises roam freely. The air conditioned rooms are individually decorated and have pool and garden views. The living room is equipped with a mini fridge, microwave oven, toaster, kettle, crockery, cutlery, tea, coffee etc. We are close to many shops, restaurants, take-away outlets, supermarkets etc. It is secure and there is plenty of parking.
We like meeting new people and we try our best to get them to enjoy their stay in Durban
Westville is very central. There are many highways and freeways that are accessible to go to the North and South Coasts, Durban and it's beaches, as well as inland. It is about 400m above sea level, which makes it about 2 degrees cooler than the coast with a bit less humidity. It is a quiet and secure suburb of Durban. We have lived on the property since 1994.
