    The place has a lovely view overlooking the beach. There are shops which are walking distance and plenty to choose from. One of the key attraction is being able to sit on the patio and watch the morning sunrise while listening to the ocean waves...

Our place is situated right on the beach with direct access from the building . It is close to all basic amenities. We have pool and beach views from the balcony with pier views from the front door. This is a modern self catered apartment.
I love hosting and meeting new people. It has recently become a keen interest to me as I always strive to give of my best to the guests and deliver with great expectations.
Margate is a favourite seaside resort town located on the South Coast of Kwa-Zulu - Natal. It has beautiful beaches and alot of interesting family restaurants which is not found elsewhere if you are a foodie.Its famous for Whale watching and the sardine run.
