    The room was comfortable and pet-friendly. We were able to walk down to the beach with our two small dogs (though the walk back is a bit uphill and challenging). We could leave the dogs behind in the private garden while we explored the Durban area. Wendy was a great host and very accommodating. We really enjoyed our stay.

    Wendy is awesome!! From the moment I got there she was extremely welcoming and easy going. She made sure I felt comfortable and that everything was in order. Lazy lizard is a beautiful place and central to many amenities. We had a number of places around that we could order food from. The beach is close by too. Wendy was amazing enough to allow us to stay passed the check out time which we are extremely grateful for. As the weather was cold and rainy and horrible, I had no jacket and we had no idea of what to do in such horrible weather until my boyfriend had to go to the airport in the evening. She has a heart of gold and we would definitely recommend lazy lizard to others

    Comfortable stay in a great location - we will be back!
    The location is safe, quiet and so close to the beachfront and local restaurants. The amenities are plentiful, and the hosts were wonderful and gave us privacy. The hosts very kindly allowed me to let my dogs stay with - which was convenient.
