The Property
​​
The large beachfront property is surrounded by natural coastal forest humming with life and grants you direct access to Umzumbe's pristine blue flag beach.
Waking-up early has never been easier with the sound of crashing waves on your doorstep. If the surf is mellow, there are plenty of quiet, shady hammocks scattered around the yard, for you to kick up your feet and relax. We share the property with many friendly animals; including the elusive small blue duiker, flamboyant purple lourie and plenty mischievous vervet monkeys.
The large property lends itself perfectly to countless activities. Round up a group for volley ball or find your zen doing yoga in the garden. A comfortable and natural beach setting perfectly suited for the solo surfer, group of friends, romantic couple or adventurous family.
The Food
The Rock Bottom Pub & Bistro is a few steps away, offering a stunning menu of fried seafood, wraps, salads, burgers and alchoholic beverages.
