Our guests have said our units feel like home and are great value for money with our superior finishes and impressive attention to detail including the benefits of having SOLAR. Located in Umkomaas (South of Durban), guests enjoy their stay here to deep-sea dive, play golf, work or just have some seaside fun.
We are a husband and wife (and gran) power team who always aim to please. We go the extra mile for our guests to make your experience with us a memorable one, that you will want to come back! :-)
Umkomaas is a small coastal town on the subtropical south coast of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The Umkomaas or uMkomazi River is a dominant feature of the area, being the largest river on the South Coast. The river is 298 kilometres long, from its source just south of Giant's Castle in the uKhahlamba / Drakensberg Park World Heritage Site to its mouth on the Indian Ocean. Umkomaas is renowned for the superb diving opportunities created by the Aliwal Shoal, a volcanic reef about 5 kilometres offshore. Other tourist attractions include the Umkomaas Golf Course, home of Tim Clark and widely regarded as being one of the best in KwaZulu-Natal, and the beautiful Empisini Nature Reserve, a forested area that features a delightful waterfall and a number of bush walks.
