The Old Fort had an important defensive role over the years. Now a historic site, you can just imagine some of the spectacles its mighty walls have witnessed.

You'll soon find out why this Durban history-filled fortress is visited by many travelers. If you're looking for more to explore, uShaka Marine World, Sahara Stadium Kingsmead, and Durban Beach are in the area too. They won't take you very long to get to from The Old Fort.

8.2/10 Very Good! (119 reviews)

This property was really nice! The staff was super friendly and helpful and it has great onsite amenities such as a day spa, pool, and pretty decent dining. The area around is a little sketchy but Durban is on the more developing side of living.

Despite a dismal booking and check-in experience the rest of the stay was wonderful. Direct feedback with the booking and front desk team has been shared but no attempt at amends were made.
