106 guests' feedbackIrene was a fantastic hostess and went out of her way to meet my every need and even followed up to see if I was safe.
Irene was great, very good hostess. I really enjoyed my stay there and would definitely recommend it.
Stunning guesthouse. From our welcoming, to our breakfasts, to baked pies and cakes. We were spoilt. Excellent staff. Thank you Irene and Numsa. You are angels.
Nothing more to say, but it was.
We were received generously, the view is beautiful, and the breakfast was delicious.

Friendly service, and kind hospitality. Beautiful views, lush and green. Very neat.
An all-around wonderful experience - from the friendliness, warmth, hospitality, attention to detail, and wholesome and complete breakfasts. Comfortable and roomy bedroom and stunning views from your balcony outside your bedroom!
Good location, comfortable accommodation, friendly hostess and delicious breakfast - that's all you want (oh yes, and good WiFi).
Excellent as always. Was my third time staying there. Will go back again and again.
The host is incredibly friendly and helpful. The bed linen is of the highest quality. It was neat and quiet. Breakfast was great and I had a beautiful view. Just watch out for the monkeys, keep your door and windows closed when you are not there.
Kathy went out of her way to accommodate us at the last minute. It's a lovely guest house, clean, safe and incredibly friendly service.
It's by far the best B&B I have stayed in in the La Lucia area.
Will stay there again for sure.

Exceptional, exceptional.
The hostess was friendly and immediately made us feel welcome. Room was neat and clean. Breakfast was delicious. We will definitely visit again.
Comfortable and neat. Friendly staff and good service.
Kites View was easy to find and quick to get back on the highway. It worked well for us as we just needed a stop-over.
See stars.
The owner was very helpful.
Very well located and conveniently close to the airport.
Owners go to great lengths! Very friendly, breakfast better than a 5 star restaurant and so many small details are done every day. You feel so at home even if you are far from your own home!
Kites View's rooms are spacious, well equipped and tidy. It is taken care of every day. The breakfast is large and easily prepared with a variety. Geoff and Kathy's hospitality knows no bounds. Kites View made our holiday very relaxing and very enjoyable.
Excellent customor service, spacious rooms and delicious breakfast! Will definitely be back soon!
Would do again it is very centrally located for my business.

The service was amazing and the place was exactly as it was described on the website. Kathy (owner) made an incredible effort to make us feel at home. The most delicious breakfast was also prepared every morning by Nomsa. It was definitely value for money and will definitely go back again.
The host was hospitable and the breakfast was delicious.
The whole atmosphere creates the feeling that you will get value for your money and time spent. From reception to departure I felt comfortable but not overwhelmed. Would definitely recommend the place (definitely not just the view from the upper rooms).
Clean, neat, professional and absolute care for guests.
Hospitable reception! Room was comfortable and tidy and offered the most beautiful view in the morning. Nothing was too much trouble for the host and wife. I will definitely use their B&B again.
I stayed at Kites View B&B over the weekend of the 6th to 8th of September 2019 while attending a course. The host is a wonderful, hospitable, friendly and welcoming lady (Kathy) who checks you in and sees that you're well taken care of. The rooms are spacious, clean, well decorated and kept. It was always clean and smelt good with the added humidifier. There are extra blankets for the cold seasons, an air con and a fan making your stay super comfy and relaxed. There are awesome sea views from the property and it is close to various shops, restaurants and the beach. Kathy was nice enough to direct me to all the local spots and also directed me in and out of the driveway; it is steep and there isn't a lot of space but you can definitely manage a few manoevers in there. The breakfasts were tasty and filling, plenty to go around as there are extra cereals, yogurts, muffins, etc. Really awesome stay and would recommend it to anyone wanting to spend some time in Umhlanga.
Kites View Bed & Breakfast pleasantly surprised me. I was there as a single traveler who only needed to spend the night. The place had everything I needed. I was able to leave my vehicle overnight behind a lockable gate and they also provided me with a remote control so I could get in and out on my own. I had to leave early in the morning and they were willing to give me breakfast by 06:30 in the morning, even if their official time is only 07:00. It was a big breakfast consisting of bacon, eggs, tea, fruit juice etc. The place has a very nice view. The place where I spent the night had its own shower, toilet, sink, fridge etc. had. A TV is also available if you need it. The managers were very friendly and interested.
Well situated, well equipped, excellent breakfast, very clean, really friendly people. Nothing to fault at all.
Quiet, clean, tidy and private! The breakfast is delicious and the people friendly!

I will definitely visit Kites View again. Everything is perfect!
I was travelling for business purposes and had a lovely stay. I will be travelling to Durban more often and I will definitely stay here again. Thank you Geoff!
The parking at Kites View is limited and small especially for guests with a big vehicle like a double-cab bakkie.
A family of 4, 2 teenagers, mum and dad. Booked a twin room but a double was made up when asked if it could be made into a twin we were told it couldn’t be changed till the next day. Arrived for breakfast the next morning and told we couldn’t sit at the table for 4 it was for a family and we should sit at the tables for 2. The family of 4 weren’t there for breakfast so we ended up taking the table of our own accord. Then told it was the cooks day off the next day so we had a limited choice for breakfast. Only 1 toilet roll per room. Monkeys are a real issue pity there’s isn’t screening so you don’t have to sit in a closed room. Not a great stay for the price you pay.
Thank you.
Excellent accommodation, neat, clean and very friendly service! Beautiful guesthouse with friendly, helpful owners! It's value for money and Geoff goes out of his way to make things as comfortable as possible! Would definitely recommend this place!
Beautiful place, very friendly owner and staff, very well equipped. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Good value for money.
Had a lot of fun. The owner was very friendly and upgraded my room which I greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend the place. The breakfast was very tasty.
For a person on business, the place is 100%, and you get what you pay for. Come in late, and leave early. Won't spend time there though. Everything was okay, but nothing to write home about.
Kites View Bed and Breakfast offers convenient and comfortable accommodation with a full healthy breakfast and guests can make use of the evening meal facility. Accommodation is clean and tidy with friendly people.
I was very happy with Kites View Bed and Breakfast. The room was clean and I found everyone very friendly and helpful. I would definitely use them again.
The accommodation was very comfortable and central to all necessary destinations.
Great time and very neat and clean.
Beautiful rooms, clean, peaceful. Can strongly recommend it!
Kites View was exactly what I needed on my business visit to Durban. Central, beautiful, neat and safe. I will definitely go there again.
I will go stay there again anytime, definitely value for money, clean and neat. very welcoming and the breakfast was delicious.
Host and staff very friendly, homely atmosphere.
Was very well received. And a lot of effort was put into my breakfast pack as I was doing Parkrun. Very peaceful environment and safe to walk or jog in the street. Very friendly staff and hostess.
The service was prompt, the room beautifully clean and modern and the owner very friendly!
Great hospitality and safe. Delicious breakfast.
Kites View is beautiful, clean and a nice place to sleep over. Thank you very much!

Was a great experience to stay at Kites B&B. I was in Durban with the storms and driving back from Pietermaritzburg at the time when Geoff asked if I need parking and what time I will be checking in. I was upgraded to a bigger room by Geoff which made my stay even better. WiFi is great if you need to work during your stay. Staff is friendly and breakfast nicely prepared. Have recommended the B&B to my boss for her next trip to Durban.
Just want to say a special thank you to Louis who went out of his way to make our one night so enjoyable. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Thank you very much.
I had a wonderful stay!

I stayed in the more budget friendly room, and was very comfortable. I work and don't need a view, even without it, I was comfortable. The owner was great to chat to over coffee in the morning.
Many thanks to Kites View and staff for making our stay incredibly enjoyable. It's an awesome place and will definitely book there again.
On arrival the bedding was not satisfactory. It looked like someone had already slept in the bed and the linen was pulled straight. The one pillow case had a big brown mark on it, like a sweat mark. We slept with towels over our pillows. The room could have been opened for air before the guest arrived, it was very stuffy. DStv was only working for 1 night. The drain of the shower has terrible smell coming through.
Beautifully spacious, big living area. Stunning view and safe.
Friendly people, comfortable and beautiful view. The folks at Kites View are really helpful.
10 out of 10! Everything about Kites View B&B is top notch!
Everything is neat and clean. Great hospitality and no efford is too much to make the guests feel comfortable.
Quiet surroundings close to main roads and shopping centres. Well equipped, neat room and linen. Aircon is definitely a an asset in Durban. WiFi is available. DStv with selected channels. Lovely see view from the room's balcony. Parking cramped but safe.
Place is in a safe, quiet neighborhood, but very far from the beach. If your goal is to go on vacation, you must be prepared to drive far.
Peaceful surroundings, near the ocean and the beach, Getaway and restaurants. Very friendly and helpful people who went out of their way to make us feel at home.
See the stars!
Good value for money. However, parking space is a big problem and for travelers who leave early in the morning, it is difficult to move out.
The service was good. Breakfast excellent.
We really enjoyed the beautiful guest house. The breakfast was tasty and we will especially remember the muffins!
My stay at Kites View Bed and Breakfast was a pleasant experience. Geoff Stevens and his lovely wife were perfect hosts, attending to my needs. I will definitely return and recommend their establishment to friends and family!
Nice rooms. Funny with the monkeys.
Very neat and clean place. Would recommend Kites View to anyone. Felt very at home there and people were friendly.
Excellent accommodation, friendly staff, safe. Will use again! Highly recommended!
I would recommend it to others.
Thank you for a neat, comfortable and clean room as well as a quality breakfast. Owner was also very hospitable. Would definitely recommend!
Service was very good! Very safe!
Calm atmosphere and safety are important to them. In today's days one has to look at safety as well. We would stay there again anytime.
Dit was my home-away-from-home.
The owners are very friendly, nice relaxed atmosphere, great service and delicious breakfast every morning. Very quiet peaceful environment.
Our stay was pleasant. Geoff and his wife are very friendly and accommodating hosts. Situated near all amenitites in a very tranquil and safe area. Only issue I had, was bedding not changed often enough. Thats definitely my next accommodation when I visit KZN again.
We will definitely stay there again. Beautiful rooms, delicious food and very friendly owners!
Friendly and accommodating owners.
The Area where's situated is very convenient to everything, the Mall the Beach, the Airport and should you need to go to Durban City you conveniently go there as well
An absolutely great stay in all aspects.
We would definitely recommend Kites View. Good location, close to shopping center, sea and important routes.
Really enjoyed our stay there. Can easily recommend it.
The host and wife went out of their way to make me feel welcome. After I checked in late, they invited me to enjoy dinner with them - at no cost! A first time indeed. I would highly recommend Kites View.
I was kindly received. The room was well maintained, clean and had everything that was needed. Food was also good and when I had a request to leave earlier in the morning it was also kindly accommodated. Even company was pleasant.
Quiet and very neat. Friendly staff. Will stay there again.
Friendly reception, great rooms, delicious breakfast and a peaceful area...what more could one ask for to enjoy the weekend!
The area is peaceful and quiet. The guesthouse is beautiful. The only concern was the dust was the bathroom, and the other room had ants. Also the breakfast menu needs to change & not be the same thing always. Otherwise we had a lovely stay & I absolutely loved the beds. I slept like a baby.
Thank you to Kites View for your great service and hospitality. We will certainly use your services again in the future!
Friendly and helpful manager and owners. I found it very comfortable and enjoyed the breakfast, as well as the views from the patio in front of the rooms.
Lovely B&B.
