    Each room has its own vibe and colours. We have three rooms upstairs and three rooms downstairs. The dining area and kitchen is upstairs (in case that’s important to you), and the downstairs has – well no stairs, so is easily accessible from the car park and each has their own private entrance. Some of our rooms have King sized beds which can converted into Twins (2 x single beds) if necessary.

    In addition, we also have two self catering Budget rooms. These are certainly not Spartan, but just slightly less salubrious than our other rooms, as they are designed for singles only. If you’re here to study or on a budget, then this is for you! They are both separate to the main building, are serviced daily,  include free Wifi and secure parking, as well as a buffet breakfast (cereal, yoghurt, fruit, toast, juices and tea/coffee). If you still want a cooked breakfast after that, then there is an extra charge for this. Each unit has a single bed, TV, toilet, shower, cupboard, desk, sink, microwave, portable stove, crockery and cutlery. However there is a minimum stay of 3 nights.

General

Welcome to Mackaya Bella, a friendly, four star graded Guest House situated in Glenwood – an upmarket, yet quirky suburb of Durban. Mike and Nicki are the new owners and we live on site, with our family and 2 well trained hospitality cats. We’ve both travelled a lot and have worked in hospitality for years, so expect a warm welcome, professional service, good food, and clean, comfy rooms.

“Aaah … Oooh!” That’s what we love hearing whenever we open the door to your room. Because that means you can’t wait to come on in, put your feet up and feel like you’re almost back at home. So relax and let us and our well trained, happy team look after you. They love meeting guests almost as much as we do.

We like to think we have a little oasis here, tucked away from the busy outside world. From the moment you step inside, you’ll be surrounded by our indigenous garden with a gorgeous array of different plants, animal and birdlife. It’s peaceful, pretty and definitely calming.

Being Green is important to us and we are always on the lookout for new ways to save energy, recycle and reduce our carbon footprint. Started in 2008, the name Mackaya Bella is derived from the indigenous shrub which grows near the main entrance and is known for flourishing in quiet environments. Much like how we want you to feel!

Whether you’re here on business, to study or on holiday, we hope to make you feel that you’ve chosen the right place to stay and are now part of our extended family. Many of our return guests tell us that this feels like their home away from home, which is the best compliment. You can see what else they say on Trip Advisor.
