Coweys Corner
42 Robarts Road, Essenwood, 4001 Durban, South Africa – Great location - show map
The location and the staff were excellent. It was our first time in South Africa and there could not have been a more perfect place for our first stay in the country. The hosts live nearby, but not very close as to invade the privacy of the guests. The place has convenience stores, fuel station, and pharmacy nearby for immediate needs. The property is secure and guests need not think twice about planning their stay at this lovely little corner.
