Hillside Guesthouse is situated in Umhlanga Rocks near Durban in the KwaZulu-Natal region, 1.2 km from Umhlanga lighthouse and 16 km from Moses Mabhida Stadium. All rooms boast a TV with satellite channels and a private bathroom.

Ina and her team run an exceptional guesthouse. Visited for a few nights and felt very well supported and comfortable. The value of such high standard accommodation was amazing - other reviews mentioned this but only believed it when I visited. Fresh coffee in the morning, the self-service but good quality breakfast in the in-room kitchenette. Ina herself was kind & hospitable. Even after many years of meeting guests.
