Escape to our Happy Place on Umdloti Beach

Escape to Our Happy Place beautifully presents guests with the opportunity to enjoy coastal living at its best! As one guest described it, 'I actually can't imagine a better location in Durban.' Visit and make this magnificent seaside vacation home your happy escape! Situated on the fourth-floor of a secure and popular complex’s building, its positioning enables this home to consume guests with its awe-inspiring ocean views, while ensuring their privacy. Guests enter into an open concept living area which greets them with floor to ceiling picture windows offering uninterrupted views of the beach and ocean, and Durban’s skyline visible in the distance. Both the kitchen and lounge are housed in the airconditioned living space which leads onto an expansive, semi-covered balcony with a gas braai, and outdoor dining and patio furniture. Guests are treated to glorious views of the coast and the luxury of enjoying their meals to the sounds of the waves breaking in the background. Enjoy the sun while you laze on the verandah, counting the many ships waiting to enter Durban harbour! A fully equipped kitchen offers guests all the conveniences of a well-established home including a dishwasher, coffee machine, washing machine, fridge and all necessary appliances. It opens into the lounge with a lovely bar counter and barstools. A large, comfy leather lounge suite offers guests the opportunity to relax with views overlooking the twinkling blue, warm Indian ocean. The lounge has a flatscreen, Smart TV which is connected to a dedicated Fiber line so that guests can conveniently watch their personal DSTV package, and other preferred subscriptions with ease via Google Chromecast. The Master Bedroom with Queen size bed has its own ensuite Master Bathroom, with a bathtub. Both the second and third bedrooms boast gorgeous views of the coast, and share a bathroom with a single vanity and shower. The second bedroom has a Queen size bed and the third bedroom has a double/single bunk bed which accommodates three guests.

Area Info

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 the local tidal pool, and a few minutes’ walk from a swimming beach and some rather impressive shops, bars and restaurants. All basic amenities like doctors, a pharmacy, and Spar are nearby. Please check Ocean View Holiday Escapes Guidebook for more information about the area.
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.
Umdloti is a wonderful place that is not too crowded and the locals are super friendly & helpful. The beaches are clean and wonderful for long walks, and the views are magnificent. Be sure to explore the rock pools at low tide!
