My wife and 2 teenagers recently stayed in the 1st Floor apartment. Well it was enormous - a lounge, separate bedroom, bath and shower en suite and its own kitchenette. The views from the balcony magnificent. We watched the full moon rise each evening. It was spotlessly clean, the breakfasts sumptuous.We had our own entrance and our hire car was... More

Don't bother searching trip advisor for a B&B in umhlanga, just book at Ocean View. Excellent value (very spacious for a B&B as 2 of their units have a kitchenette & lounge area), great sea views away from the hustle & bustle of the village. Lovely patio areas to relax & have a drink whilst looking out to sea, &... More

One of the best, if not the best, guesthouse we have stayed in. Lovely sea-views. Spotless. Secure parking on site The double rooms have a separate lounge/kitchenette. Helen's breakfast is to die for. Healthy and a full English Breakfast Service out of this world.

This B&B is located in a very nice residential area. We were surprised by the size of our room: it was more like a full size apartment! Very modern and comfortable, and spotless. In the morning sun, we enjoyed a great breakfast on our patio, which gave out to the garden. Superb start of the day. Don't hesitate, just go... More

If you are thinking about booking at Ocean view, just do it! No need to waste time reading reviews, this B&B is fantastic value for money. The accomodation is the most spacious b&b we have ever stayed in (& we have stayed in many). We would recommend either the downstairs or upstairs rooms. They are ideal for families or just... More

I would like to recommend this guest lodge. It is one of the best ocean view from Umhlanga Rocks and Helen is one of the best host and guide. Good breakfast, very clean rooms and baths and a lot of monkeys.

Ocean View B&B was a perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of Durban. Our ground floor studio overlooked the sea and was immaculately kept. The breakfast was the best we had on our trip. The owner Helen was very helpful and made sure our stay was very comfortable. We would recommend this accommodation to anyone. Well deserved 4* status... More
