Firstly the warmth and helpfulness of the guys was great! Delicious full English breakfasts, great accommodation. These gentlemen have thought of all the little things! Conveniently located and away from the hustle and bustle.
Lovely atmosphere

We had a fantastic time at Manaar House. The hosts were lovely, the breakfasts were divine, the room was comfortable and I really liked that our entrance was private. I'll definitely stay there again.

Lloyd - Monday, 11 July 2016
Manaar House was a very pleasant stay. Although short and sweet with our late arrival, the team were welcoming and flexible. The room was clean and cosy, breakfast was tasty. The guest house is also very conveniently situated just a few minutes away from Umhlanga Village and the beach. Would definitely go back.
Great Place

I had a good stay at Manaar House. The rooms were comfortable and clean. There was a small hiccup but they sorted it out very quickly in a professional manner. I will go back there again. Thank you for the good service.
Passion for their guests
Mr TRUMPELMANN - Tuesday, 28 October 2014
To be greeted when arriving with a smile was a great change for other places stayed. Introduction to the house and room was done with a smile and care. Had lots of information on Durban available. Clean room. Will stay there again when visiting Durban North Area.
Very nice people
Mr Ledure - Wednesday, 02 April 2014
I only spent two days in Manaar House but the people were so nice that I intend to go back to this B&B. Superb breakfasts, confident people who advised me of two very good restaurants (Indian and fish restaurants) and one son who drove me to my appointment and to the airport.
Unforgettable stay in Durban.
Wonderful!
Cindy Roguszewska, South Africa - Monday, 29 October 2012
What a pleasant stay at Manaar House! The accommodation was fantastic - the bathroom in particular was gorgeous - the hospitality was friendly, professional and welcoming. The overall experience was wonderful. The parking area is not for the faint hearted, however, Jack and Mark were always willing to assist, which made it easier. Thank you for a wonderful stay and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, tranquil and stylish place just to “get away”.
Great stay!
Rebecca Moorcroft, South Africa - Monday, 07 May 2012

Farmer hospitality
Aletta Derks, South Africa - Wednesday, 28 March 2012
Ons het so lekker gebly. Alles wat ons nodig het vir 'n lekker wegbreek. Pragtig, veral die badkamer, en skoon. Die gasheer was baie vriendelik en het ons welkom laat voel. Sal verseker weer daar draai. We had such a great stay. It had everything we needed for a wonderful breakaway. Beautiful, especially the bathroom, and clean. The host was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. We will definitely make another turn here.
Magnificent!
Kevan Jewell and Lizl Jenner - Tuesday, 10 January 2012
What a wonderful time at Manaar House. A home away from home most definitely. Beautiful room we stayed in. Thank you Jack, Mark and Brendon for the awesome hospitality and service received. You really made us feel very welcome. We will definitely be back to visit in the near future. The best guest house weve stayed at by far! We really enjoyed our stay tremendously.
Easter Break Away
Mr Roux - Tuesday, 03 May 2011
Home away from home, the facilities are impeccable with warm and friendly hosts, walking distance from the beach and not far from any attractions, I would strongly recommend the facilities to any one looking for a breakaway weekend or vacation.
Manaar House
ivan Roux, South Africa - Tuesday, 15 February 2011
Our stay was refreshing and very comfortable. The guesthouse mangers were extremely well organized, friendly, professional and catered for our every need and accommodated us with a late check-in. The accommodation is much more spacious and luxurious than the pictures reveal. There were ample interior decorative details which work so well together and presents the unit in such a elegant and homely fashion. We really got much, much more than what we paid for. We enjoyed our stay very much and shall return very soon. In my opinion there is no better value for money. Manaar House has it all.
A little piece of paradise
Ms Atkinson - Monday, 03 January 2011
I had a wonderful stay at Manaar House. This convenient yet secluded location has lots to offer. I had a lovely warm welcome from our hosts who have made Manaar House a place to relax in beautiful surroundings, packed with personal touches that make it extra special. I had a comfortable and spacious room which was very private and secure. Breakfast was by the pool, watching the birds in the garden and enjoying the ambience. My only regret was I didnt get to stay longer, it really does feel like a little piece of paradise.
The extra mile
Mr Buchanan - Tuesday, 07 December 2010
Very spacious and well-appointed accommodation in good location only a few minutes drive from Umulunga village and the enormous Gateway shopping mall.

The hosts were very nice and went out of their way to make our stay most enjoyable.

Wonderful welcome and service by two very nice gentlemen. Beautifully kept and lovely atmosphere to the house. Lovely breakfast. Very good stay.
Charming guest house
Dr Wadeson - Tuesday, 05 October 2010
It is always a risk staying in a B and B sight unseen. I am happy to say that the Manaar House lived up to all expectations. Delightful hosts who pay just the right amount of attention, lovely clean and comfortable rooms with all amenities and a great position being close enough to all major routes and the beach, restaurants etc. We will be telling our friends about this one.
Comfortable and welcoming
Mr Imam - Thursday, 01 July 2010
I would strongly recommend Manaar House. The room and facilities were of a high standard. Umhlanga is a great little town and Manaar House is pretty well located close to the beach and the shops. Mark went out of his way to assist.
Wonderful accommodation

A Great Place - Manaar House
- Wednesday, 10 September 2008
We booked Manaar House for purposes of having a restful get-away from a busy life and so that the wife could continue her recuperation from recent cancer treatments. We found that our room (No. 3) was just what the doctor ordered. Nicely sized and secluded, allowing for plenty of rest. The layout and interior decor of Manaar House is definitely 5 star level and the design style is \current\"
The perfect stay!
Ms Bijsters - Wednesday, 20 August 2008
This was our second time at Manaar House. We really love the place!
The rooms are clean and very beautiful - perfect! The breakfast is great when you sit outside you can watch a lot of birds, but most of all... Jack and Mark really make you feel at home and want to help you with everything. We will certainly come back!
Excellent establishment
DAVID RAPHAEL, South Africa - Monday, 18 August 2008
What a B&B should be. Good value for money Jack and Marc run an excellent establishment
Hospitaliy at its best!
Daniel Bopp, Switzerland - Thursday, 10 July 2008
We stayed two nights in the Manaar house but we would have loved to stay longer. A beautiful place close to the beach run by Jack and Marc who know how to pamper their guests. It was such a pleasant and wonderful stay, Highly recommended!
Fabulous
Heidi Petersen - Wednesday, 02 July 2008
It was our (my sister and my) first visit to Durban in over 10 years and Jack and Mark made us feel welcome from the start. They advised on restaurants in the surrounding area as well as places of interest. The room was beautiful and air conditioned as it was very humid. The bathroom was even better with his and her basins, a huge shower and even bigger bath. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back next year.
What a delightful place to stay!
Barbara Stephens, United States of America - Sunday, 29 June 2008
The hosts could not have been more charming or helpful. They provided maps, advice, dining recommendations and directions. We stayed in the self-catering unit but asked for breakfast, which was served buffet style outside on the patio next to the pool, a really inviting place. The large apartment was two floors, with large rooms and a full kitchen. Covered secure parking was included. Very reasonable prices. Altogether a wonderful place to stay. Would highly recommend it.
We will be back!!!
Renita Visagie, South Africa - Tuesday, 10 June 2008

Antoinette Louw, South Africa - Tuesday, 13 May 2008
Our stay at Manaar house was unforgetable. Being in the tourism industry I know not to expect to much as my standards are very high. I booked accommodation at Manaar House through the internet, by just looking at the pictures on SafariNow. I have never been so surprised in my life. Manaar House is a true reflection of the pictures on the website, clean, stylish and felt like home. Thank you to our host for taking such good care of us, you will see us in the near future. I highly recommend Manaar House to everyone planning on visiting Durban!!!
We will definitely be going back!
Sharon Lewis, United Kingdom - Sunday, 13 April 2008
Jack and Mark were fantastic hosts helping out with all sorts of small details which helped to make our wedding a success. I would thoroughly recommend Manaar House to anyone wanting to visit Umhlanga for the quality of accommodation and by far the friendliest hosts I have ever encountered.
We had a marvellous stay at Manaar house
lloyd price, South Africa - Saturday, 12 April 2008
Everywhere is very clean and tidy. Mark and Jack are exceptionally good hosts and make you feel very welcome. We stayed in the self catering apartment and couldn’t have asked for any better. The photos of Manaar House do not do it justice, what you get is even better than what you see!! We fell in love with the place and will most definitely be back.

Ms Venter - Friday, 14 December 2007
I had a wonderful time staying at the Manaar House. The BEST thing was that I they kindly offered to drive my car in to the road everyday, what a wonderful thing to do, as my reversing skills are not that great.
I can honestly recommend this place.

Absolutely Fantastic
Alice Hobday, South Africa - Tuesday, 11 December 2007
Our stay at the Manaar house was absolutely fantastic. The apartment exceeded all of our expectations in terms of size, comfort and luxury and we cannot speak highly enough of the hosts Jack and Mark. We were made to feel welcome and completely at home from the moment we arrived and just want to say a huge grateful thank you to Jack and Mark for giving us the best start possible to our stay in South Africa, we can't wait to come back!!
Our Excellent Getaway Weekend
Mr Ramawthar - Monday, 26 November 2007
Nestled in a quiet suburb of the upmarket Umhlanga area, Manaar House provided me and my fiancé an excellent retreat from the tussles of everyday life. The level of comfort and assistance provided to us from Jack and Mark were second to none. The room was designed for rest and the breakfast was excellent. Despite the weather disrupting plans for spending a day in the pool, the nurturing service more than countered any sense of disappointment that may have risen. The facilities in the room were worthy of its four star rating and luxurious enough to warrant a return. We will most certainly have Manaar House at the top of our list when we need a quick weekend getaway again.

Very good
Malcolm Glennie, South Africa - Monday, 29 October 2007
Very comfortable ... hosts very friendly! Establishment organised and tastefully decorated.

A quiet haven in Umhlanga
RobinToy - Wednesday, 10 October 2007
The idea was to have a ball and to enjoy the night life after a hectic period in Gauteng.
I arrived at Manaar House and immediately felt the peaceful ambience of the surroundings.
I suddenly had no desire to leave this haven for the night life that I had in mind but rather curled up on the couch outside at the pool reading, just chilling and feeling at peace with myself and the surroundings.
I left refreshed and well rested.
I will definitely return and highly recommend Manor House.

Manaar House - Home away from home
Mr Hofmeyr - Wednesday, 18 October 2006
Ons het net een nag daar oorgebly, maar die gastehuis en sy mense het so `n goeie indruk by ons gemaak en ons laat voel asof ons nie wil huis toe gaan nie. Dit is die rustigste en mooiste plek vir my, nie eers my eie huis het amper die selfde gevoel nie. Baie dankie vir `n wonderlike ervaring!

(We only stayed at Manaar House for 1 night; however the Guesthouse and its staff made us not wanting to go home anymore.
It is the most relaxing and beautiful place for me, not even my home feels this way.
Thank you very much for this great experience.)
good choice
