About
The Whitehouse Bed And Breakfast
The Whitehouse Bed And Breakfast sits in a residential part of Durban, about 3.4 km from New Germany Nature Reserve. This is a small, adults-only property with free private parking and Wi-Fi throughout. The atmosphere is low-key and unhurried, with a garden, sun terrace and an outdoor pool for warm afternoons.
Rooms are simple but comfortable — some with private bathrooms, a suite with a balcony, and a one-bedroom cottage for more space. Guests consistently mention the friendly staff, the clean rooms and the generous breakfast. The quiet location is a recurring theme, though it does mean you'll need transport to reach most of the city.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Adults-only policy — This B&B does not accommodate children, so it's not suitable for families travelling with kids.
- No pets allowed — If you were hoping to bring a dog or cat, this property isn't an option.
- Check-in window is fixed — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 20:30 — late arrivals outside that window could be a problem, though express check-in is available.
- Some rooms share a toilet — The Double Room Shared Toilet option means not every room has a private bathroom — check the room type before booking.

7.8Verified guest“I was pleasantly surprised by the comfortable room and the warm welcomes from the staff. There was a small mix-up about breakfast times, but the place was clean and felt like a home away from home. The nature around and the birdsong made it very calming. I'd happily return and recommend it for a comfortable, peaceful stay.”
7.8Verified guest“The host was wonderful — always happy to help with questions or requests. The decor was tasteful, blending a touch of luxury with a cosy feel. The rooms were spotless, thanks to the efficient housekeeping, and the breakfast had a great range of vegetarian options.”
