I have always enjoyed the Durban Yacht Mole since childhood. I now take my dear granddaughter there atleast every two weeks to view the boats and feed fish. An absolute thrill for her. For me its a bit of a disappointment. Theres just too much of garbage in the water. We watched a mullet die in a discarded plastic bag in the water. Sad, but more sad for my grandchild. All in all a walk around our beautiful city is always enjoyable.

Great day out except for Lamb curry which was very fatty and full of sinew. It was, however, exchanged for a very good Prawn special.

As a non member of the club I found it to be a great venue with an amazing view of the Harbour to spend a lazy afternoon listening to great live music and throw down a couple of cold ones. The quality of their food leaves a lot to be desired for and wouldnt say it was value for money... But if one excepts that this is an establishment that mainly caters for the regular sea fearing pirate and as they say... When in Rome... Not a memorable culinary experience but was an enjoyable couple of laid back chilled out hours in the sun. Worth a trip there even if only to enjoy a cold wet one whilst enjoying your scenic Harbour filled views.

Just such a sunny tranquil spot with a great vibe. Pity the quality the food has gone down but its a nice spot for a drink in the sun.

The main restaurant was closed but the Roast downstairs was excellent for the price of R85.00. Sitting outside on a perfect day made the venue change all the more worthwhile. Definitely worth supporting.

Attended a fundraising event tonight at the Royal Natal Yacht club.It is a nice welcoming venue with superb views of the harbour. Lots of pictures and memrabilia around ,honouring its heritage -sailing and yachting. I love the combination of wood and brass all around -a reminder of seafaring vessels. The food served was delicious-curry and rice.Definitely recommend this venue.

This stripped back, easy going cafe & bar serves up classic breakfasts and lunches. A recent lunch special was a perfectly cooked fillet of beer battered fish & chips. Sitting on the picnic benches scattered across lawn, watching seaside/harbour activities - no better way to spend a Saturday in the sunlight.

We joined friends for the Easter egg hunt, was great fun and the kids loved it, Just a shame that the harbor area is so dirty and smell it does affect the ambiance of the place. But that is not on them they are just affected by it. It is nice sitting there watching the boats go by, relaxing. there food is of good quality and the prices are not bad at all. Even better if you are a member.

I enjoy the beauty of the Club and surrounding area. My lunch was superb. I am evolved with Durban High School (HISTORIAN) and ex staff member. I was evolved in talks about boys joining the yachting section a few years ago.The ambiance and tone of the Club is very dignified. I guess it could be a little more spirited in the bar area in the evenings.Thank you for hospitality towards me a non member. A great experience. Cheers Jeremy Oddy.

Used to be a favourite haunt but has taken a tumble recently regarding the food, especially the Sunday carvery. Menu from downstairs in the garden seems to be the way to go. Outside along the water front could do with a serious cleanup.

Spent the Sunday afternoon eating some wonderful food from the vast array of dishes in the buffet. Got a table on the balcony outside and enjoyed the live music from the grass sitting area below. The pool isnt heated but the kids enjoyed it all the same in the mild autumn afternoon sun.
