This is the 4th year we've used this hotel as residence during the annual tourism Indaba. It is centrally located, offers good value for money and great service. The rooms are comfortable and immaculately kept. I am excited to learn that Tsogo Sun Hotels will offer complimentary wifi in their rooms from 1 June-fantastic! The hotel offers a great breakfast...

There is another Garden Court hotel just a few blocks further up the coast in Durban that looks to be a slightly more up market hotel. However, the Garden Court South beach is clean and tidy and the staff are friendly and helpful. If you need something that the hotel doesn't advertise, it is worth asking the staff. For example,...

The cheapest of the Tsogo Sun hotels on the beach front offers value for money. The inclusive breakfast spread is good, and central to attractions such as Ushaka.
