Durban self-catering accommadation for june/july (roughly 5 weeks)
Posted: Mon January 12, 2009 09:52 PM UTC
hi
Me and my friend will be doing a medical elective in one of the hospitals in durban from 22 june for 5 weeks. We will be requiring a place to stay for this period. Ideally near the city centre. As we are both students the cheaper the better... but also safety is important. Can anyone recommend anywhere and perhaps rough prices?
Thanks

I would definitely not recommend the city centre. Consider Durban North as an option. As an example, have a look at: http://www.durban-north.co.za/bodills.html

Not sure exactly what your requirements will be, but something like that may be what you're looking for.

The city center doesn't sound like a logical choice for accommodation if you will be working at a hospital? Which hospital? (none in the city center that I am aware of)

The nearest that I would go in the direction of the city center is the Musgrave / Berea / Essenwood area.

Ah cheers... I think its most likely to be Addington hospital but also could be either mccord, or edwards. Is transport good in the city in the sense that travelling to the hospitals form anywhere in the city is easy enough to do?

For Addington, look at staying in Durban North
for McCord, the Berea is the most convenient
for King Edward VIII, the Glenwood area is the most suitable

Durban North would be a bit problematic transport wise for King Edward VIII
