Considering that the Kwa-Zulu Natal South Coast is an entertaining, sub-tropical paradise, sunny all year round with warm temperatures, high humidity and sunny days contributing to a rich, lush natural environment. The temptation for a swim at any of the many superb beaches, is fuelled with an average sea water temperatures of 23 degrees. The best time for traveling is from May to August as there is less rain, and with the average daytime temperature ranging between 30 in summer and 25 degrees in winter, the only question is, why are you not here? Situated in Uvongo, a small seaside town 150km South of Durban and 5 km from Margte, Driftsands Sea View Flats are right on the sea front. 50 meters from the sea, across the road from the Uvongo tidal pool, and with Uvongo’s bathing beach is a 3-minute walk away, the perfect holiday destination. The Driftsands Sea View Flats complex consists of over 15 individually owned, self-catering holiday apartments. Each unit is unique, comfortable, and fully equipped. The complex boasts a guest only, sparkling swimming pool, 5 social braai areas and a play area for children. On site, under cover carports provide secure parking for vehicles. The complex is completely fenced with an electric fence. Access is through the motorized main gate. A security guard is on duty at night and is linked with the local armed response company. Besides being the ideal seaside holiday venue, Driftsand Sea View Flats are centrally situated for exploring the multiple adventure activities in the area. Amongst others the world famous Oribi Gorge and Nature Reserve, the Wild Coast Sun and Casino and Lake Eland are easily accessible by car. Activities include game drives, an 80m suspension bridge, Zipline Tours, horse riding, hiking, single track mountain bike trails, paintball, fishing, picnic sites, 4x4 tracks, golf (8 quality courses within 30 minutes dive), surf, rock and deep-sea fishing, SCUBA diving - Aliwal Shoal and Protea Banks near by.
Uvongo beach is acknowledged as a wonderful swimming beach. Life guards, toilets, cafe and a restaurant all on site. There is also a well constructed tidal pool with easy access via a gently sloping ramp. Suitable for all ages. Everything needed for a holiday is within walking distance - 6 restaurants, pubs, Spar, chemist, doctor, video rentals, etc. The area caters for active holidays with bowling greens, tennis courts, squash courts, 8 golf courses, a mini putt course, go-carts, a gorge swing, abseil, 4.5 km zip line and Zip line Extreme, white water rafting, mountain bike trails, surf and rock fishing, ski boat fishing, bird watching and whale watching. The two shopping centers – The Shelly Centre with cinemas and the South Coast Mall – a crocodile farm and a game farm cater for a more relaxed holiday. The world famous Oribi Gorge , Wild Five Adventures and Lake Eland Nature Reserve and The Wild Coast Casino are easily accessible by car. Walk, fish, swim, surf, laze in the sun at the pool or on the beach. Relax and chill out. Spot the whales and dolphins, and at that magical time of the year, join in the madness of the Sardine Run.
