The Troll and Tulip Bed and Breakfast

Peaceful, welcoming haven in a crazy world.

The accommodation was comfortable and clean, the breakfast provided was first class, but the exceptional feature of The Troll and Tulip is the warm, welcoming hospitality of John and Peggy.

John's Response

Thank you. You were a pleasure to host. Hope to have you with us again.

Definitief waarde vir jou geld.

Baie dankie aan John en Peggy. Ons was voorwaar verras met hulle gasvryheid en vriendelikheid. Sal die oornagplek ten sterkste aanbeveel. Dit is netjies, skoon en geen probleem met veiligheid gehad nie. John se aanwysings deur sy e-pos was spot-on en het die Troll and Tulip maklik gekry. Die ontbyt in die môre is vir seker 'n moet. Lekkerste ontbyt wat ek in 'n lang tyd geëet het, en was meer as genoeg.

Great customer service.

I arrived at the Troll & Tulip on a rainy evening of the 14th of May 2017. The owner of the place, Mr John - a very friendly man - warmly welcomed me and showed me to my room. I instantly felt at home! I had travelled to Durban to do an oral exam of the Colleges of Medicine of South Africa. Troll & Tulip, undoubtedly, provided just the right enviroment for a last minute preparation for my fellowship exam. The neighbourhood of Troll & Tulip is quite an affluent community.

I arrived at the Troll & Tulip on a rainy evening of the 14th of May 2017. The owner of the place, Mr John - a very friendly man - warmly welcomed me and showed me to my room.

Troll & Tulip, undoubtedly, provided just the right enviroment for a last minute preparation for my fellowship exam. The neighbourhood of Troll & Tulip is quite an affluent community. I came across many residents jogging along the roads after 6 pm, a sign of confidence in the security of person. I will, particularly, never forget how John took care of my culinary needs on the second day of my stay at the guest house. I hadn't had dinner and John offered to prepare for me one! He treated me to the most delicious vegetarian dish I've ever had! God Bless you, Mr John. God Bless the staff at The Troll and Tulip B & B, including the Mama who prepared my breakfasts and ensured that our rooms were clean. I definitely look forward to staying at Troll & Tulip the next time I travel to Durban.

Absolutely the best place to stay.

The B&B is very clean inside and outside. The service is excellent, delicious breakfasts and the Host and Hostess were very friendly and kind. Will definitely refer family and friends to stay over.

Baie rustig. Die eienaar is baie tegemoetkomend.

The accommodation was perfect, clean and tidy. Breakfast each day was different and very adequate. Everything was just perfect! The B&B was close to where we needed to be for school sports during the day but there was nothing else to do at night.

Blyplek en kos was baie goed.

Baie goeie diens en ons het lekker gebly met 'n goeie ontbyt. Die naambord by die pad is nie duidelik genoeg nie, maar ons het nie te veel gesukkel om die plek te kry nie.

Excellent welcome and friendly atmosphere.

Will definitely return. Peggy and John were outstanding hosts, they made our experience very pleasant. We spent a lovely, chilled New Year's Eve with some of the locals and had an amazing view of the fireworks!

Goeie, nederige gasvryheid en waarde vir geld.

Die kamer is netjies, skoon en ingerig met al die basiese noodsaaklikhede. Veilige parkering agter 'n sekuriteitshek met 'n mooi uitsig. Hartlike gasvryheid en smaaklike ontbyt. Baie dankie.

Very nice place, we explored a lot

John's friendliness and attentiveness to our needs, was the cherry on the cake to a wonderful stay!

We were immediately made to feel welcome and our rooms were immediately available. Breakfast was beautiful and on time and more than enough! The rooms are spacious and well equipped with teas and coffee, kettle and bar fridge! Bedding squeaky clean and a pleasure to slip into after a days traipsing around Durban. Shower and bathroom a delight. Easy place to recommend to friends.

Great place

We loved our stay at this unique b&b. The only thing that could have been better is maybe some new beds and a carpet; with a few small touches of refreshment.

Deon R
With spouse/partner

Sentraal geleë, en gemaklike en bekostigbare verblyf.

Vir Durban is hierdie B&B sentraal geleë en bekostigbaar. Dit is 'n goeie basis om van te verken.

It was a great experience

I am writing this review on behalf of my partner. He was very impressed with the hospitality he received from John. They were very friendly and very welcoming to him. The place was also very clean and tidy. As such, we would definitely recommend this establishment to people.

We had fun with my family @ Troll and Tullip .

John and Peggy they are friendly, they've got Ubuntu I can say so much about them. Hospitality and food were nice, as was everything you could possibly name. They are a social couple which is great! We have recommended this place to our friends and family.

Aan die einde van hierdie ingang wag 'n aangename verrassing.

Hier is nou 'n blyplek met nostalgie en mens-mense. Ek sal nie weer op enige ander plek tuisgaan as ek in Durban oorslaap nie.

The accommodation was satisfactory.

The place was satisfactory. I expected a bit more, as I have stayed in other 3 star accommodation which had better extras, but it was ideal for us as we needed to be in the Umbilo area.

Short stay at Troll and Tulip while passing through was just lovely!!!!

My parents stayed here and this was their favourite B & B while visiting the coast. The owners and staff went out of their way to make sure my parents stay was pleasant. Finding people as nice as everyone was at Troll and Tulip doesn't happen often. Because of this experience, my whole family will always stay at Troll and Tulip every time they visit the coast. Thank you so so so much Troll and Tulip!

Our stay at the Troll and Tulip was very pleasant and I will stay there over and over again, every time I return to Durban.
