About

Dolphin Point B&B

Dolphin Point B&B sits on Wavecrest in Durban, with a patio and swimming pool that look out over the ocean. It's a straightforward base for exploring the city, particularly if you're here for sport — King Zwelithini Stadium is 6 km away.

The property keeps things simple: free parking, Wi-Fi, and air conditioning in the rooms. There's a family room with two single beds and a king-size bed, plus extras like a mini-bar, a flat-screen TV, and a sitting area. A paid shuttle can get you around if you don't have your own wheels.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Facilities score a perfect 10 — Guests rate the facilities higher than any other category, suggesting the pool, patio, and overall setup hit the mark.
  • Staff rated 9.5 — The staff category is the second-highest score, pointing to a team that generally leaves a strong impression.
  • Cleanliness and general comfort are strong — Both the 'cat8' and 'General' categories sit above 9, indicating a well-kept property that guests find comfortable overall.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Check-in is limited to 14:00–22:00 — The window is fairly tight, so if you're landing late or arriving outside those hours, you'll need to plan around it.
  • No pets allowed — If you travel with a dog or cat, this isn't the place — the policy is clear, so book elsewhere if that's a dealbreaker.
  • Guest ratings are slightly below the area average overall — The overall rating of 9 is strong, but the area average is 7.7 — Dolphin Point sits well above that, so this trade-off is more about context than a real weakness.

04 — Location

Getting around Durban

The property sits in Durban.

Getting around: King Zwelithini Stadium is 6 km away, so a taxi or shuttle (paid, available on site) is likely for sports events. The B&B also offers paid shuttle service for other trips.

Local context: Durban itself is a busy coastal city, and this B&B sits on the edge of it — close enough to the ocean for views, but you'll need transport for most attractions.
