Read the review

There was a double booking, apparently there was guest that did a direct booking with terebinte while I booked with TraveGround. The owner did call and I was accommodated elsewhere I did not really mind as there was no change in the cost. The Terebinte guy was awesome in making sure that I was accommodated and that the double booking did not affect me much, just the change of venue. I will certainly book with them again, as I will frequent Durban.

Terebinte 's response

Hi Yamkela
There is a first time for everything, I guess. I am just glad that I could resolve it. I still came to fetch you at the airport at 22:00 and took you to your destination. The higher cost at the other venue did not affect you as indicated. I was just sorry that you could notexperience our hospitality, but as you said, next time for sure and a upgraded room if it is available will be offered.
Be blessed.
Gerhard

'n Heerlike, vriendelike en gasvry oase in die somerstad.

Ons het in Terebinte tuisgegaan tydens 'n konferensie en heerlik gekuier. Gerhard het elke oggend vir ons heerlike ontbyt gemaak, goeie raad gegee oor koffiewinkels en restaurante in die omgewing, en ons baie bederf die week.
