About Us

Caister Lodge was established in 1987 on the site of what was once the Caister Hotel, a popular residential hotel, well known to most Durbanites. The Hotel was transformed into what is today, a much sought after residency by those who wish to retire in safe, secure, and tranquil surroundings - located in the heart of the Berea, close to Musgrave Centre, most popular churches, Berea Park and right on the main city bus route with a bus stop right outside the main gate.

Each apartment is individually owned on a share block basis and 25% of the sale price reverts to the Caister's Equalisation Fund, which funds all special projects and subsidises the levies.
