Audacia Manor Boutique Hotel

The hotel and grounds are simply breathtaking, perfectly located and well maintained. The rooms are elegantly furnished and we loved the outdoor shower and jacuzzi facilities. The staff were friendly and attentive (we would like to especially thank Cadet ensuring a lovely stay) and all the meals at the hotel we absolutely delicious! We would love to return and wouldn't even think of staying anywhere else when in town!

The staff and property was very nice. We had a miscommunication about our driver that we had for the day. Did not realize that we will be charged for the mileage. Thought the price that he gave us for the day was the only price.

Inspite of booking two days in advance for a birthday celebration comprising of twelve individuals, we had the worst experience ever. After confirming on their selected menu, we were advised just two hours before the event that they had to cancel our event because they did not have stocks. Their service is nothing short of being a disgrace to the hospitality industry. Pickey.

They staff is so lovely and friendly. The building is interesting and has lots of potential. The room was comfortable - the best part is the little balcony with sea view. It is a "shared" balcony some of the rooms have private balconies. No attention to detail (no extra cotton wool or amenities in bath room only just bare minimum). New towels are sorely needed. Although there are some special furniture and art pieces, the place lacks luxury atmosphere. We expected more of 5 star establishment. Lovely pool area. The food not great. We had breakfast and dinner over 2 days and felt the kitchen can do better. The dinning room courtyard needs to spruced up. (needs flowers and plants. The fountain is not operational). It can be a haven if things are jacked up a bit. It is clear that some effort has been put in however to compete with 5 star accommodation and attract the discerning traveler requires more improvements. Room tip - if you are a light sleeper choose a room not overlooking parking area. Noisy people arrived, loud music woke us up. The checkin and checkout was smooth. Lovely people.

Old world charm in modern day. Love this spacious gracious beautiful hotel with h-u-g-e grand bedrooms. Our go to place when in Durbs. This hotel is well positioned and great when traveling alone. Close to nearly everything.

This last weekend my husband and I visited Durban for a weekend away. Never having stayed Audacia Manor before, we were so pleasantly surprised with the peace and tranquility of the beautiful boutique hotel. Would definitely go back for another romantic weekend away.

What a treat to return to an old favourite place. Every visit takes you back to the days of afternoon tea, and G&T sundowners. This time we stayed in the Coach House, beautifully appointed room with views of the pool and glorious house. Pop up and have a drink poolside, you won't be disappointed. Elegance of days gone by. Some changes since my last trip, helpful staff, ready with a smile.... Can't wait to go back!

After being to the hotel earlier this year and being disappointed by the food, the Manager Shannon at that point turned my experience from an average to amazing! I thought I'd pop by for an enquiry on a function hoping to meet the same manager however to my disgust and disappointment had no one to greet me even though the parking lot was empty. The hotel seems to be taken over by new owners, the new staff have no clue as to what is going on. I spoke to Kazi who claims to be the manager and advised Shannon is no longer there, with no hesitation I turned and walked out. Such a pity that a historical property is being run down and wasted. Will not try here again.

There was no one around to check us in. The place was chaotic. It is a small hotel and a private birthday party was being held when we arrived. The party took up the whole ground level plus garden and pool area so we were not able to use it. This same party lasted the whole afternoon and as I write this, is still continuing at 1.10 in the morning. We have complained three times to management who seem to be at a loss. We eventually called the local police. Still awaiting for them to arrive. So many facilities don’t work in both our rooms too. Totally unacceptable for this so called 5 star establishment. Never again. Please don’t waste your money.

Great staff, very accommodating and saw to every need
