Coweys Corner is the perfect little home away from home. Situated in Berea, it is only a step away from a Woolworths, Nino's and some other restaurants, as well as the Botanical Gardens.

The hosts are great and very accommodating, even willing to provide us with special meals for our food allergies.

What I liked best about Cowey’s Corner was that it was like having our own house. Hosts came in to cook breakfast and clean, and then we were left to our own devices. This allowed us to come back late after work and get up early without disturbing anyone.

It was in the perfect place for us to stay while we were attending a Conference at the Durban International Conference Centre (ICC) and is very close to the Greyville Race-Course.

Dear Richard

I would like to extend my greatest gratitude for the beautiful stay we had at your place.

I totally loved my room and the delicious breakfast served each morning, felt like royalty.

Everything was clean and so welcoming. I can safely say that my mates feel exactly the same if not more excited.

Please extend our appreciation to the beautiful woman who prepared the breakfast and cleaned the rooms for us, she was wonderful.

Me and my colleagues couldn’t stop raving about the wonderful time we had in Durban and just how perfect our accommodation was.

We intend to come back sometime when finance and leisure permits.

Gratefully.

Hi Richard,

It was nice staying at Coweys Corner for 5 nights last week ( from 17th to 21st ) for my conference at the Durban International Conference Centre (ICC).

The place is clean, the rooms are always tidy while customer care was fantastic and adds more flavour to the overall welcome we received whilst in Durban.

Keep up the good customer care and I also want to extend my gratitude to your staff there who are very professional and always smiling. I have been to different places in South Africa but I tell you Coweys Corner ranks number one amongst them, you have captured my mind so much that I will definitely call back.

Coweys Corner is the best place to be while in Durban.

I will also confidently refer my friends and colleagues to stay at that place always while in Durban.

Keep it up and keep up the good service as well !!!! Coweys Corner is the best place to stay !!!!!!!

Kind regards,

Hi there,

One month ago I was in Coweys Corner.

It was a wonderful experience of staying for almost three weeks there. All of you are very humble and helping.

I really enjoyed my stay and most important interactions with you all.

I generally don't eat even egg in India at home but there I was not having any other option. But I still have the taste of delicious breakfast served at the Coweys Corner.

I am busy in my routine now but in between reminds me the leisure I had over there.

Thanks for everything.

I wish I visit the place in near future with my family.

Best wishes to all my friends there.
