Welcome To Endless Horizons Boutique Hotel, Durban, Kwazulu Natal
Endless Horizons Boutique Hotel is Durban’s new exclusive five-star-graded conference venue. Paired with an upmarket, intimate five-star boutique hotel, it offers guests the perfect opportunity to impress clients or colleagues with its comfortable surrounds, cutting-edge audio and visual systems and cordon-bleu catering. One of only two in KwaZulu-Natal to receive this grading from South Africa’s Tourism Grading Council, the venue can be configured to suit guests’ requirements and can seat up to 80 people. GUESTS giving presentations can arrive with only a memory stick, DVD or CD containing their presentation and the technical STAFF will take care of the rest.
Situated high above Durban North on Umhlanga Rocks Drive, Endless Horizons has a contemporary Zen feel, with peaked roof structures, wide rock-clad columns, timber detail and double-volume spaces. Water plays an integral role in the design. Long twin ponds with stainless steel water features flank the impressive entrance and immediately visible through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the public areas of the hotel, the sparkling infinity pool appears to flow directly into the Indian Ocean on the horizon.
The décor is understated, fresh and appealing - with antique Chinese, Thai and Indonesian artworks and furnishings interspersed with modern-day custom-made pieces. This creates a light and airy feel in the public spaces and is a refreshingly new approach. Fabrics reflect a citrus-coloured palette contrasted with ocean-toned blues, greens and turquoise, linked with neutral shades against dark timber contemporary furniture. Artworks range from intricately-crafted ancient wooden screens to giant block-mounted photographs of organic elements.
Endless Horizons offers its discerning GUESTS not only the personal service and privacy afforded by smaller accommodation establishments but also the state-of-the-art facilities required by business travellers.
Location
Situated in the convenient, picturesque setting of Umhlanga Rocks Drive in Durban North, with easy access to the airport, major business hubs and tourist attractions, Endless Horizons' 5-star accommodation, dining and conference facilities will pander to your every need for an unforgettable experience.
Features
Public spaces such as the reception area, dining area, lounge and bar flow into one another and spill out onto an inviting pool terrace with magnificent 180-degree views of the Indian Ocean.
The dining room is served by four cordon-bleu-trained chefs who have devised a frequently-changing menu to ensure that dishes are freshly made with seasonal ingredients.
Access to the upper level is via a floating timber and brushed stainless steel staircase and this floor boasts ten luxurious double/twin bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. Here, décor is more elaborate with rich fabrics and vibrant colours. Business travellers, in particular, are well catered for with desks complete with comfortable ergonomically-designed chairs. And at the touch of a discreet keypad in each bedroom, GUESTS can access the music of their choice or the latest stocks and share prices. Or, if they want to enjoy the outdoors and the wonderful view, they can carry their laptops down to the pool area, where computer links are available.
Mammals: Marakele is home to most of the large mammals synonymous with the African bush, including elephant, black and white rhino, buffalo, leopard and cheetah. Large Predators such as cheetah, wild dog, brown hyena, leopard and now also lion, occur in the park.
Birds: Arguably the Park’s biggest birding attraction is the largest colony of Cape Vultures in the world (around 800 breeding pairs). However the park is also appealing to birders as it falls within the transition zone between the dry western regions and the moister eastern regions of the country. Read More
