Situated in Umdloti, a hugely popular holiday destination, in the heart of KwaZulu Natal’s Dolphin Coast, this seaside unit is a hop skip and jump away from swimming beach, and a few minutes’ walk from the local tidal pool and some rather impressive shops, bars and restaurants. All basic amenities like doctors, a pharmacy and Spar are nearby. Umdloti’s tidal pool is naturally protected by rocks so it’s not affected by strong currents and large waves. This makes it ideal for little kids, elderly people and novice swimmers to enjoy the ocean, and some fun in the sun. This charming seaside town is located between Umhlanga and Ballito, at the mouth of the Mdloti River. Umdloti Beach is a coastal conservancy, with surrounding fields of sugar cane and indigenous forests. The area is a prime location for various wildlife sightings, including whales, dolphins and innumerable bird species. With Umhlanga’s vibey attractions nearby, Gateway Shopping Centre an 8-minute drive away, 10kms to King Shaka International Airport, and Ballito 15kms further up the North coast, this oceanfront gem is conveniently situated for those in need of entertainment or a spot of retail therapy.
