This place is simply amazing! Lovely host, Martha, was very welcoming and helpful. I loved design of this place, rooms are charming. Got cute room for myself, not so specious, but cozy with nice shower and Terrasse. Rooms are tidy, no strange smell or something disturbing. Bed was big and comfy. Beautiful common area and garden with pool. They have very nice dog and chickens at yard. To get to beach is 3 min through narrow passage. And beach is beautiful and deserted. To get to Umhlanga center and restaurants is 5 min. Take Uber, it’s very convenient. Looking forward to come back again 🙏☺️

    The facilities of ocean dunes,plenty of pools,and a rooftop pool facing the ocean. There's a hiking trail leading to a private beach, and it's hardly mentioned. The hike is pretty steep, but the private beach is awesome. The place is so neat and big,big showers and wifi,netflix and accessing the place is so easy. Safe and secure, and the host Sindi is so amazing. Unfortunately, i had to leave, and i wished i could stay longer.
