A Nature Lover's Retreat, in the heart Westville!
Harcourts Pulse are beyond excited and proud to present this one of a kind, spectacular property, right in the heart of Westville, in the peaceful cul-de-sac of Kathleen Place. This 5-bedroom facebrick residence (complete with a separate, fully equipped 2 bedroom granny flat) stands as a rare oasis of natural beauty and refined living. Presently thriving as a highly regarded bed and breakfast, the property seamlessly lends itself to continued hospitality success, a rejuvenating yoga and wellness retreat, or an expansive, multi-generational family haven.
What truly sets this home apart is its enviable position backing directly onto the lush Palmiet Nature Reserve, with breathtaking, unobstructed views over the tranquil Palmiet river below. Multiple, thoughtfully positioned decks and private viewing spots—some shaded, others open to the sky—allow you to soak in the ever-changing panorama: misty mornings over the flowing water, golden sunsets filtering through ancient trees, and the constant symphony of prolific birdlife. Expect frequent sightings of majestic fish eagles soaring overhead, vibrant kingfishers darting along the banks, colourful turacos in the canopy, and an abundance of other species that make this one of Durban's premier birding hotspots.
The expansive, subtropical garden is a living masterpiece in its own right, bursting with vibrant life and carefully curated beauty. Orchids of various species bloom profusely throughout the year, along winding pathways that invite quiet strolls or meditative moments amid nature.
Step inside to discover warm, inviting interiors framed by the classic, timeless appeal of facebrick architecture. Spacious living areas flow effortlessly outdoors, while the highlight for many is the intimate, cosy wine cellar—a charming, dimly lit sanctuary lined with racks for fine vintages, perfect for romantic candlelit dinners for two, small gatherings of friends, or quiet evenings savouring a special bottle away from the world.
The five generous bedrooms offer comfort and versatility, many with access to those incredible views, while the separate 2 bedroom 1 bathroom granny flat, provides independent living space ideal for guests or family.
This is more than a home—it's a lifestyle: where urban convenience meets profound natural immersion, where bird calls replace traffic noise, and where every deck, garden corner, and quiet nook invites pause, reflection, and connection with the extraordinary surroundings!
(Please note the rates are currently listed as commercial because of the Bed and Breakfast - and this can be converted to residential at transfer).
