Tamarisk is the proud addition to Terebinte Guest Houses owned by Gerhard and Yuri Duraan who have successfully run its older brother, Terebinte B&B, since 2011.
The five en-suite rooms are individually decorated, reflecting the artistic and eclectic style of its owners. Whether you choose to stay in the Honey Suite, the Piano Room or the “tongue-in-the-cheek” Penthouse with its outside shower, you are sure to experience the tranquillity of a home-away-from home setting while still being part of the hustle and bustle which is Durban!
With all the modern amenities such as DSTV, air conditioning and Wi-Fi available, you will also be able to enjoy a lovely farm-style breakfast (Gerhard makes a mean cappuccino!) and old-school hospitality from your hosts. There is also a small pool where you are able to relax or have a quick dip to alleviate the effects of the Durban summer heat.
Tamarisk is in close proximity to two hospitals, the University of KwaZulu-Natal and various shopping malls. It is centrally located which makes it easy to get to the beach, ICC, Moses Mabhida stadium and a host of restaurants and bespoke coffee shops which are situated in Glenwood itself. The Elizabeth Sneddon and Rumbalow Theatres are also close by and the Durban Botanical Gardens is a 5 minute drive away.
We are approximately 4km from the Durban beach front and Golden Mile, which makes this and ideal stay for holiday makers, business people, students and hospital visitors alike!
So don’t delay – book with us and become part of our world family today.Read More ›

Description:The Honey Suite is the luxury suite at Tamarisk with the surprising element of having a genuine old brass footed bath in the bay window of the room. The queen-size antique four-poster bed dominates the room however and is complimented with artwork of Tretchikoff, Lidi van Schalkwyk and Yuri herself.
It also has a lovely chandelier which throws light over all the other small details that will delight you.
The ensuite bathroom used to be the entrance hall of the house and still boasts the stained glass front door and windows. The towels are Egyptian cotton and you will truly feel spoilt when you step into the spacious shower with its Swedish fittings.
The Honey Suite is for everyone – not only for honeymoon couples. It has air conditioning, DSTV, Wi-Fi and coffee & tea making facilities, as well as a bar fridge for champagne! Speak to Gerhard and Yuri if you would like to make your stay extra-special with added bath accessories or treats.

Description:The Piano Room is decorated with vintage flair and has a beautiful white and brass antique queen-size bed, bevelled mirror with destressed frame and….wait for it…..an antique white honkey-tonk piano which was a gift from the Askew family. Although it is not tuned it certainly makes a lovely feature and takes you back to days gone by (and the odd nightly jingle will be forgiven – wink!).
The en-suite bathroom has a shower with Swedish fittings but we were able to keep the original brass taps. These are also featured at the basin and compliments the rest of the bathroom which has an antique cabinet for storing clothes and accessories.

Description:The Photography room has a back-drop of muted grey tones with quirky red accents and fresh crisp white bedding. It has an antique wooden double bed and wardrobe, as well as a desk for the guests who like to burn the midnight oil (while seated on a red chair that used to be part of the boardroom furniture of the KZN University)
The room’s most interesting features, however, are the old framed photographs from 1950’s movies and collection of vintage cameras, showcasing Gerhard’s love for “the sport”.
The wall above the bed is “a work in motion” as he plans to fill the whole wall with monochrome photographs taken by his photographer friends – so watch this space!
The small en-suite bathroom has a very comfortable spacious shower and some artwork obtained in Venice.

Description:The Penthouse got its “tongue-in-the-cheek” name because it is higher than the other rooms and has steps leading up to its door with a little balcony. It is a stand-alone building at the back of the property overlooking the swimming pool.
It has a small cozy room with an en-suite toilet and basin and the very interesting feature of sliding doors leading to a private enclosure with an outside shower ONLY for those adventurous and romantic at heart.
Lovely décor complete this setting and will ensure that you will have a comfortable stay, and if you don’t want to be cooped up you can enjoy a cup of something on your sunny balcony.
