Quarters Hotel Avondale

Destination

Durban

In the tradition of the original Quarters (on Florida) which was restored to its Victorian splendour, Quarters on Avondale offers quiet luxury in an 'Edwardian' setting. The original Edwardian era home has been beautifully restored to its former glory to mirror the original architecture. The main building, a double storey, comprises a reception area, a guest lounge and 10 en-suite bedrooms on the two floors. The newly built annex is a single storey set a few metres from the main building and joined by covered walkways. The annex has 7 en-suite bedrooms. All the bedrooms are beautifully furnished with period furniture imported from France and colourfully decorated with quality soft finishings. As with Quarters on Florida, Quarters on Avondale has an all female management team who are committed to making your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as you would expect from a Quarters Hotel.
