Welcome to Bhekintaba Guest House, Durban

Bhekintaba Guesthouse has been graded as a 3 Star Bed & Breakfast establishment by the TGCSA (Tourism Grading Council of South Africa) and we are also members of the following industry related associations: NAA (National Accommodation Association), FEDHASA (Federated Hospitality Association of Southern Africa) as well as KWABABA (KwaZulu Natal Bed and Breakfast Association).

Our bed & breakfast and self catering accommodation all have external entrances, with en-suite facilities.

For anyone wondering why we named our guesthouse ‘Bhekintaba’  then the reason is that when we arrived in Durban from the North East of England in 2005 with the intention of owning and running a guesthouse we had no idea what to call it, so we asked for suggestions.  As the guesthouse is situated on Mountain View Avenue the name ‘Bhekintaba’ was suggested, which, when roughly translated from Zulu to English, means ‘view from a mountain’ - ‘bheka’ (view) and ‘intaba’ (mountain).

We have 7 bedrooms in total, 5 bed & breakfast rooms and 2 bedrooms within our self catering unit.

Please see our ACCOMMODATION page for a more detailed description.

On the upper level we have a plunge pool and sunbathing area; a large lapa under which there is an outdoor table and chairs; on the ground floor we have a smaller lapa, again with outdoor table and chairs. We have adequate on-site parking and for anyone who has problems with stairs, we have ground floor bedrooms, as well as the breakfast room also being situated on the ground floor.

All bedrooms have air-conditioning, tea/coffee making facilities, fridge, DSTV/MNET, electronic safe, hairdryer, soap and shampoo is supplied.
