Sica'S Guest House - The Loft Durban

Review by hotel critic

As a freelance travel writer and wellness enthusiast from Toronto, I recently had the chance to unwind at Sica's Guest House - the Loft. While it was a late arrival, the security team ensured a warm welcome despite the absence of admin staff. The tranquil atmosphere here is its biggest draw—the outdoor swimming pool nestled in a lovely garden area provided a serene escape from daily life. I spent my afternoons lounging by the pool, soaking up the sun and listening to the gentle rustle of leaves, creating an ideal backdrop for relaxation. The dining experience was pleasant. While breakfast options were limited, with just eggs and tomatoes as the hot offering, the friendliness of the staff and the laid-back environment made it easy to overlook that minor issue. I appreciated the proactive service, which helped transform my travel fatigue from the Eastern Cape into a rejuvenating experience. Sica's Guest House is a great value for money, particularly for those looking to disconnect from the hustle of everyday life. It’s a destination worth considering for your next getaway.
