Botany Bay Lodge offers friendly, relaxed accommodation with an afro-colonial setting, situated right next to the famous Botanical Gardens on Durban's lush suburb - the Berea - not far from shopping centres, cinemas, good restaurants and take-aways.

Our pool is set in tranquil, lush, tropical surroundings and you will find it very difficult not to unwind and take a
well-deserved break. Our bar has a fridge where you may chill your drinks.

There are telephone and fax facilities on request, a comfortable, relaxing lounge and lots of information available for tours / safaris, activities, car hire, etc.

Mission Statement
We aim at providing clean, comfortable and affordable accommodation in a “Home-away-from-Home” atmosphere.
We want our guests to “feel” like they are at home.

We have also “greened” our establishment by using low-powered globes, installing an indiret Soloar Water Heating system and a geyser-wise electric saving device which is encouraged/endorsed by Eskom, and capturing rain water from the roof for the pool.

We are pleased to be able to say that many of our guests return and have said “I feel like I am at home – only better.”
