    It was self-catering and everything had been thought of. What an amazing gem to have found. Perfectly attended to and absolutely spotless. Only little moan, water pressure in the showers was a little low. But otherwise, 5 stars.

Come rest and relax in our peaceful, coastal cottage. Tastefully decorated, self catering and equipped with everything you need while away from home. Partial sea views from the courtyard and guest's garden. Only 650m to Scottburgh Mall, 950m to Mtunzi private beach, 1.1km to Scottburgh Golf Club, 2.8km to Scottburgh Main Beach. The Cottage is located on the same property as the owner's home but is free standing, spacious and very private.
We love meeting new people and we want our guests to feel like they are at home at The Starfish Cottage. We are always available for our guests if they need help with anything. We respect our guests privacy and will endeavor to ensure they enjoy their time at The Starfish Cottage.
Scottburgh South is a beautiful, peaceful neighborhood that is full of trees and lots of birdlife. It is very safe to go for walks and runs. There are a wide variety of restaurants, coffee shops, local pubs, and plenty of activities to keep you busy such as spa's, hiking trails, boat charters, shark cage diving, Crocworld, golf, and so much more... and of course, our absolutely beautiful beach.
