Area Info:

Situated in the heart of KwaZulu Natal’s Dolphin Coast, this seaside unit is a hop skip and jump away from a swimming beach, and a few minutes’ walk from a tidal pool and some rather impressive shops, bars and restaurants. 

This charming seaside town’s 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.

Getting around:

  • Guests can use the M4 and N2 Freeways to access Umdloti / travel to Umhlanga and Durban.
  • The airport is only 8 minutes away which is super convenient for car hire/travel.
  • There isn’t really a need for a car once you’re in the area as most shops and restaurants are within walking distance. 
  • There is a swimming beach across the road from the apartment, and an AWESOME child-friendly tidal pool is a short 5-minute walk away. 
  • A key point to note is that 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.
  • The area allows for bicycles and is love for taking walks on the beach and across the promenade.
  • Uber is available to/from Umdloti Beach.
