Apartment to rent
Live steps from Durban Botanic Gardens and DUT, with the CBD minutes away — private fully furnished garden cottage with landscaped water-feature garden, open-plan studio, double bed and bathroom included.
You are two minutes from one of Durban`s most beautiful green spaces.
Walking distance from DUT.
Five minutes from the CBD, Musgrave Centre, Berea Centre, and Glenwood Village.
And at the end of every day - a private, fully furnished garden cottage on one of Durban`s most iconic tree-lined streets, waiting for you to arrive and simply live.
This is not a room in a shared house. This is your own self-contained home - fully equipped, beautifully positioned, and ready from the day you move in.
Seventeen square metres of thoughtfully designed open-plan living. Every detail in place. Everything you need already here.
The solid wood front door opens into a space that works harder than its footprint suggests. An inside burglar gate with its own lock gives you a second layer of security. Air conditioning covers the entire space - cool in summer, comfortable all year round. Modern light fittings throughout.
Blinds separate the sleeping area from the lounge and dining space, giving you privacy without the rigidity of a closed-off room. The bedroom has a double bed with linen already in place and built-in cupboards that handle your storage without claiming your floor space.
The lounge and dining area has chairs for relaxing, a coffee table, and a dining table with two chairs. A working television with DSTV - subscription included in your rent - means you arrive and you are home. Everything already connected. Nothing to set up.
The kitchen has everything a single person needs to live properly. Fridge. Microwave oven. Washing machine. Hob. Ceiling-mounted extractor fan. Full built-in cupboards. Cutlery and crockery included. The bathroom is complete - shower, toilet, basin, mirror, and additional storage cupboards.
Outside the front door - a beautifully landscaped garden with a water feature, stone and wood paving, and a tiled exterior that makes arriving home feel like arriving somewhere worth coming back to. External burglar guards throughout the property. Private positioning at the rear of the main house.
Botanic Gardens Road is one of Durban`s most iconic addresses - and this cottage puts you at the centre of everything the inner city has to offer.
Two minutes from the Durban Botanic Gardens - Durban`s oldest public garden and one of the finest in the southern hemisphere. Walking distance from DUT for the student who wants to eliminate the commute entirely and reclaim hours every week for study, rest, or building something.
Five minutes from the CBD. Five minutes from Berea Centre, Musgrave Centre, Glenwood Village, and Davenport Centre. Five minutes from the restaurants and coffee shops on Cowey Road. Three minutes from Greyville Race Coast - one of Durban`s most historic and recently reinvented entertainment and racing venues.
300 metres from the N3 on-ramp - north, south, and the entire city within easy reach when you need it. Close to Sastri College, St Anthony`s, Orient School, and Durban Girls High School - making this an ideal address for students and young professionals whose daily life is anchored in the inner Durban corridor.
No parking is available on the property. Roadside parking only. This cottage is designed for the student or professional who does not need a vehicle - and in this location, with DUT steps away, the city centre minutes by Uber or bus, and everything else walkable or close, that is a practical advantage rather than a limitation.
R7,000 per month. DSTV subscription included. Fully furnished. Move-in ready.
Strictly one occupant. No parking on property. Roadside parking only.
Water and electricity included.
Available 1 August 2026.
