Affordable comfort in the heart of the action.

Welcome to the Gooderson Life. 🌊 From the 168 rooms guests can enjoy panoramic views, waking up to the sun rising over the breakers or looking out as the sun sets and the lights of the beachfront dot the evening sky. Large windows open to fresh ocean breezes while air conditioners beat the Durban heat. Tea and coffee making facilities, DSTV, an en-suite bathroom with shower, a personal electronic wall-safe for guests’ valuables and full Wireless Internet Access (WIFI) are just some of the creature comforts on offer. Diverse accommodation options mean this is the ideal venue for a family break – children under 15 stay free and pay for breakfast only – as well as an intimate getaway or business trip. The Tropicana boasts five fully equipped conference / function venues. The largest seats up to 300 delegates cinema style. Professional banqueting staff ensure that each function is a success. As a result, the Tropicana is a very popular wedding reception venue. Guests have a wide range of conference and wedding packages to choose from. The Gooderson Tropicana is also a diner’s delight. Guests can relax on the terrace of the friendly sidewalk Clippers Cafe Bar and enjoy a variety of coffees and a slice of cake, a light meal or simply a sundowner. The terrace is the ideal place to while away those lazy afternoons or watch an adrenaline pumping sporting event. Dinner is served in the Seven Palms Restaurant (which also serves our renowned buffet breakfasts). The Ocean View Bar and Business Centre offers computer access, as well as light snacks and bar service late into the night.
