Fiddlers Rest is a bed and breakfast establishment set in a grand mansion with lush tropical gardens that host abundant bird life. It is situated in upper Morningside, Durban's most prestigious address, and is centrally located. The establishment offers luxury accommodation in three suites, each with its own entrance. All the linens are provided, and each room is equipped with a TV, a fridge, and air-conditioning.

A sumptuous breakfast is served in the elegant dining room. Guests are invited to use the swimming pool and enjoy the wonderful Durban sunshine. The outside patios have been designated as smoking areas. Fiddlers Rest is a 1950s mansion built by Hilton Rich, who was the owner of Beechway Motors. It was then bought by Raoul Goldman, who was the Mayor of Durban at that time. The present owners, popular Irish musician Tony and his wife Lilian, took over in 1986.

The property overlooks Durban's famous Mitchell Park and is adjacent to "Kings House," which is the President's home when he is in Durban. One of the suites consists of two adjoining rooms sharing one bathroom. One room has a queen-size bed, and the other has a double bed. An extra single bed can be added if necessary. The inside suite has a wonderful view of the garden and pool and also overlooks Mitchell Park.
