Reviews
2nd - 6th April As a family of 5, accommodation that suits all of our needs, is affordable and is hard to come by. Gateway Guesthouse certainly met all the requirements. The family room was comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and the surroundings are beautiful! What stands out the most, is the hospitality. It is clear that a lot of love is poured into this facility. Sr. Isabel could not have been more accommodating and caring. Even our children felt loved and cared for in her presence. I would highly recommend Gateway Guesthouse to any friends or family needing a place to stay in this area. We will be going back to Durban with fond memories and sincerely thank you for a wonderful stay.
