Should you want peace and quite and only hear the birds sing and the ocean waves sounding in the background. Overlooking the ocean the whales and dolphins can be seen from your couch in the lounge or from the front garden or gazebo frolicking in the surf. Away from the crowd total peace and quite not a car engine to be heard. Close to the beach and all restaurants, shopping centers, airport, casino. Umhlanga is a 5km drive and Durban 25kms. You are able to enjoy all these facilities and return to your own exclusive haven. Where relaxation is key.
Having traveled the country for 12 years. Filming most accommodation providers and also enjoying their hospitality for a TV program on DSTV we are well aware of what guests expect.
Umdloti is a quaint seaside village. Very safe and secluded. Their are 2 spar stores the 1 being a superstar. Their are 6 wonderful restaurants to tickle your taste buds. Stores like Woolworths Discem are on your doorstep. Most of all are the beautiful untouched beaches and rock pools for your enjoyment. The Casino and Airport are a mere 5kms away.
