Beachfront guesthouse in Durban with free parking
Location & Access
No 20 On The Beach Guesthouse sits directly on Glenashley Beach, with the sand steps away from the property. Umhlanga Lighthouse is 6.4 km from the guesthouse, and King Shaka International Airport is 21 km away. The hotel offers free private parking on-site and street parking for guests who arrive by car.
Dining & Breakfast
Each morning, the guesthouse serves a complimentary breakfast with Full English/Irish options, local specialties, and fresh pastries. Vegetarian and vegan breakfast choices are also available upon request. Guests can use the on-site BBQ facilities and the terrace for outdoor meals.
Pet-Friendly Accommodations
The guesthouse allows pets and is advertised as pet-friendly for guests traveling with dogs. However, no secure off-leash grass area is provided, so dogs must be kept on a leash on the property. Guests should note that three Great Danes belonging to the owner stay in a front room and may bark during the day.
Outdoor & Adventure Activities
The hotel has a year-round outdoor swimming pool with a shallow end and sun loungers or beach chairs. Glenashley Beach provides direct access to windsurfing, snorkeling, cycling, and canoeing. Guests can also organize pub crawls or golf outings through the hotel's concierge service.

“The simple check-in and helpful staff set a welcoming tone. Being right on the beach in a quiet area adds considerable appeal, especially with spacious rooms available near the pool. I think its safe environment and proximity to shops also makes it a practical choice.”
