From the owner

Architecturally designed and located in a beautiful affluent neighborhood of Umhlanga Rocks, Ocean Vista Boutique Guest House offers warm hospitality, tranquility, understated elegance and a magnificent roof-top deck with sweeping views of the Indian Ocean. Plenty of space, amazing sunrises, pool, fast WiFi, delicious breakfast (included in the rate) and the ever changing views of the sky and the ocean, with ships on the horizon, a setting that makes Ocean Vista quite unique. Accommodation and amenities are to very high standards and all guest rooms have lovely ocean views, with private decks adding extra space and a sense of location. Our wonderful team completes the picture - we go the extra mile for you, from preparing a hearty breakfast to sharing our local knowledge. Come to explore Durban, marvel at the ocean, relax and feel at home in our care.

We regret no children under 12, no pets and not wheelchair friendly, due to nature of the property.

Response from the owner

Dear Amy, Thank you so much from all of us for this amazing review, I am not sure how we missed to see it at the time, my humble apologies for a delay in replying! Debbie was truly excited about a task and we were so happy to have exceeded your expectations, providing a warm and beautiful setting for your rather unique celebration and meeting you and your husband was an absolute pleasure! Lovingly guided by you both we did take it very seriously so are thrilled to hear again how much you appreciated our effort and little touches and the memories will last a long time Debbie is sadly no longer at Ocean Vista but the rest of us will be waiting for your next visit -- maybe an anniversary?? Or no special occasion at all... Many thanks again for your generous feedback and warm greetings to you both on behalf of the whole team! Snezana

Response from the owner

What an amazing compliment, THANK YOU Gordon! For discovering us, for taking the time to write such an informative review, for appreciating our contemporary setting and the value provided. Breakfast is really lovingly prepared at Ocean Vista, using only free range eggs and served al fresco whenever possible... which is about 320 days a year, with sights and sounds of the ocean below :) I am so glad you had a great stay and we would be thrilled to welcome you back. Best wishes, Snezana, Debbie and the team
