Ihawu Gastehuis

Ihawu Guest house is ideally situated in Westville, boasting a number of local attractions and entertainment facilities nearby. Our well-known Durban weather encourages fun-in-the-sun days and endless activities. There are many sites in and around Durban that will enrich your stay and inspire you about the history of this great land and vibrant people.

The Ihawu shield originated from the Zulu tribe, which was used in battles for protection against the attack of their enemies, and is part of a rich Zulu culture and heritage. The Ihawu Guest House offers an experience of the traditional local culture and flavour of KwaZulu Natal, where waking up completely rested to the sound of chirping birds and a gentle breeze is a regular experience.
