The Benjamin is a compact, characterful hotel set in the heart of Durban’s Florida Road entertainment district, five minutes from the city’s beaches. Most of the 41 bedrooms open onto private balconies overlooking the gardens, and the property has a relaxed, boutique feel that suits golfers who want to be close to the action without paying resort prices. Free parking on site is a practical bonus.
Breakfast is served in a light, conservatory-style restaurant offering both a fresh continental buffet and plated hot options — a good start before a day on the course. In the evenings, Florida Road is one of Durban’s most celebrated dining streets, with a wide range of restaurants and bars just steps from the front door. The outdoor pool and shaded terrace provide a quieter alternative for those who prefer to unwind closer to home.
Royal Durban and Durban Country Club are among the nearby courses, with Zimbali and Beachwood also within 30 minutes. Durban’s golfing credentials are well established, and The Benjamin makes a cost-effective base for a KwaZulu-Natal golf holiday — especially when combined with the wider attractions of the city, from uShaka Marine World to the Moses Mabida Stadium.
