Helpful staff all with a happy demeanour gave one a sense of well being and enjoyment. Smartly furnished very spacious room with 4 metre high beamed ceiling, fridge, television and powerful aircon. My room opened out to terrace with sun lounges and sparkling clean circular plunge pool. Five steps across quiet suburban road to the sand and surf. Huge comfy bed with good quality bed linen. Massive breakfast with filtered coffee meant you didn't need any lunch. Quiet location so you could hear the waves breaking onto the beach as you fell asleep. 10 minute drive or taxi ride up to dozens of restaurants at Umhlanga Rocks for dinner.

    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.
