Read moreThis is the first review I have written and I am writing it because I had a memorably bad experience staying at Goble Palms Guest House in Durban and would not wish it on anyone. This guest house has high ratings from Trip Advisor and from the photos and in reality it looks a charming place. I was welcomed by a very friendly man who hails from the Congo called Emil. I stayed in the best room (R875). The problems with it are, first, that it has no air conditioning and was therefore full of mosquitoes; second, that the internet did not work - so having rushed to get to the place in time for a Skype meeting this could not take place; third, there was no desk at which to work - there was an ornately decorated wooden table which one could put things on but not to work at; fourth, I slept hardly at all as dogs were barking for several hours through the night, either on the property or very close to it; fifth, a car alarm went off very close to the property at about 5am and although that may not happen every night I wouldn't want to try a second night to find out. Finally, if you look out of your window in the morning you will be treated to the view of the owner chain smoking and and an ash tray full of cigarette ends - not an appetising sight. I asked him for an invoice when I left and the good gentleman said he would send one along in due course if I left my email address. I said he already had it when I had booked, and he told me that he had probably lost it. He didn't ask if I had enjoyed my visit. The pleasure of a stay in a Guest House has a lot to do with the ambience and Goble Palms and its owner do...
Read moreStayed at the Goble palms guest house for a business trip. Wow! I absolutely loved it. The images and reviews on both bookings dot com and Google are extremely accurate. The rooms were stunning! Upon arrival, your room has Amarula and the lounge in each little section has complimentary sherry. A double bed, with a beautifully equipped mosquito net, sufficient lighting, an AC, a little patio/balcony area is a standard room. I loved the fact that there was actual milk to make tea, coffee and hot chocolate. The room also has some biscuits and little chocolates. I loved the vintage style full bathroom, which came with free soap and lotion refills! The service was magnificent from the guest house managers and kitchen staff. Breakfast was delightful and scrumptious! I thought it was considerate that breakfast was not at the crack of dawn and rather from 7am to 10am. Parking unfortunately wasn't the best. Only about 4x cars can fit at a time, I had to park at the back garage on one evening which was out of the way. A goat was also on the property, it was sadly tied to a pole and it cried in the early hours of the morning which caused quite a disturbance and just plain sad to see and hear that all...
