Umlazi has a small number of guest houses and B&Bs, most of them family-run and listed on booking platforms rather than their own websites. Here is how to find a place to stay in Umlazi and what to check before you pay.
Accommodation Options
Accommodation in Umlazi is mainly guest houses, B&Bs and rooms or whole homes let through short-stay platforms. Visitors come for funerals, weddings, graduations at local colleges, church events and family visits, so weekends can fill up early.
For more choice, many visitors stay just outside Umlazi in Amanzimtoti, Isipingo or elsewhere in Durban South and travel in for the day.
Guest Houses, Lodges and Places to Stay
Places we could confirm on a major booking platform as being in Umlazi:
- Ncane Place Guest Houses: listed on Trip.com as a guest house in Umlazi.
- Godide Guesthouse: listed on Airbnb as an entire guest house in Umlazi for larger groups.
To see everything available for your dates, search these platforms:
- Accommodation in and near Umlazi on Booking.com
- Umlazi stays on Airbnb
- Umlazi accommodation on LekkeSlaap
Many of the results on these pages are near Umlazi rather than in it, for example guest houses in Amanzimtoti and Isipingo. Check the address on each listing.
Listings checked 13 September 2026. We could not confirm an “Executive Hotel” or “Ndonga Guest House” in Umlazi on an official or major booking listing, so they are not included.
Individual guest house guides are added once their details are verified.
Prices, Availability and Booking Checks
Umlazi B&B and guest house prices change with the season, the number of guests and the day of the week, so we do not publish rates. Enter your dates on the booking platform to see the current price.
- Book through the platform so your payment and any refund are protected. Be wary of hosts who ask you to pay outside the platform.
- Never pay a deposit by EFT to a personal account for a place you found on social media, unless you have confirmed the business is real.
- Read the cancellation policy and check whether breakfast, parking and WiFi are included in the price.
- Read recent guest reviews. A listing with no reviews is not necessarily a scam, but ask the host more questions first.
- Confirm check-in times and whether someone will be on site if you arrive late.
Location, Transport and Nearby Places
Umlazi is divided into 26 lettered sections. Ask your host which section the guest house is in and for a nearby landmark, then look it up on the Umlazi Map or the Umlazi Sections Map.
