Welcome to Lindisfarne B&B on SA-Venues.com, offering 3 star graded accommodation in Bothas Hill, Durban.
The main house was designed by a Dutch architect and built in 1956 as a family home which was passed down from father to son and remained in the family until 1997 when purchased by Jane and Paul with a view to running a Bed & Breakfast. Both being professional entertainers, they named the property “Lindisfarne” after the British Folk / Rock group who were popular during the early 70’s.
