AHA Riverside Hotel Shuttles

Along the banks of Durban’s northern Umgeni River, AHA Riverside Hotel provides a stately colonial-style exterior matched with modern on-site amenities. Each room comes decorated with leather headboards, small desks and plush carpeting, with suites adding a touch of comfort through modest living areas. General amenities offered by the hotel include free Wi-Fi and breakfast, in addition to an outdoor pool & lounge area - also attached is the Riverside Day Spa perfect for some afternoon pampering, alongside a swanky hotel that transforms into a vibrant nightclub by dusk. Arrive at King Shaka International with total ease with one of the hotel’s shuttles, or consider a wide variety of private vehicle options for a bit more freedom, whether it’s a small sedan ideal for small groups or a chartered bus that fits a couple dozen. Meet-and-greet services are the best option for business travelers looking to bypass the crowd, from limousines great for first impressions to taxis that can drop off downtown.

And for those attending an event at the nearby Hellenic Community Centre, look forward to good times afterward with nearby restaurants ranging from the swanky ambiance of Andreas Caffe Italia to the locally popular dishes of China Plate Restaurant & Takeaway. Continue the region’s oriental-inspired surroundings by going on a walk through Japanese Gardens, an idyllic place renowned for its lily ponds as well as cobblestone paths lined with trees and zen waterfalls. For something even more immersive, get lost and found in the swampy boardwalk backdrop of Beachwood Mangroves Nature Reserve, a lush oasis perfect for not only discovering South Africa’s natural side but talking about it. And of course, the nearby Mitchell Park Zoo provides a diverse array of exotic creatures ranging from meerkats to a surreal birds. And for an exhilarating way to finish the day, consider jumping off the top of the Moses Mabhida Stadium dubbed Big Rush.
