Description
29 On St James is a charming guest lodge located at 29 St James Avenue in the Berea West area of Durban, South Africa. However, it is often associated with the prestigious Beverley Hills suburb of Westville. This lodge offers a unique blend of colonial charm and modern amenities, making it an attractive choice for travelers.
The lodge is situated in a beautiful setting with landscaped indigenous gardens, featuring a stunning rock swimming pool with wheelchair access, cascading waterfalls, and a serene ambiance. It provides guests with a tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life while still being centrally located for easy access to Durban’s attractions.
29 On St James is a 4-star graded lodge by SA Tourism, offering both bed and breakfast and self-catering options. It features seven fully fitted suites, each equipped with extra-length beds and air conditioners, ensuring a comfortable stay for guests. The lodge also provides full security, adding to the peace of mind for its visitors. Breakfast is included in the stay, and the suites are designed to accommodate two people, with one bedroom and one bathroom per suite.
The lodge’s location offers great views, although it is not directly over the Indian Ocean as some similar establishments in Durban might provide. Instead, it is nestled in a residential area, providing a more secluded and peaceful environment. Guests can enjoy the beautiful gardens and pool area, making it an ideal spot for relaxation and leisure. The colonial style of the lodge adds a touch of elegance and history to the stay, making it a unique experience for visitors.
