Hello and welcome to my profile, I'm Alandra from Ocean View Holiday Escapes :) Travel is my passion, and I'm always on the lookout for those hidden gems when visiting new places. This home in the gorgeous seaside town of Umdloti Beach, on KwaZulu-Natal's famous Dolphin Coast is one of them! Come and visit, I'd love to host your stay! Guests privacy is respected however, guests are encouraged to contact their host should the need arise. Please note that while your host is always happy to assist, they may not be readily available from 6pm to 9am. Please note: Guests are required to provide proof of identification, and pay a R2000.00 Refundable Deposit which should reflect in the bank prior to arrival.
Situated in Umdloti, in the heart of KwaZulu Natal’s Dolphin Coast, this seaside unit is a short drive away from a swimming beach, and the local tidal pool & some rather impressive shops, bars & restaurants. Umdloti’s tidal pool is naturally protected by rocks so it’s not affected by strong currents & large waves. This makes it ideal for little kids, elderly people & novice swimmers to enjoy the ocean, & some fun in the sun. Umdloti is a wonderful place with magnificent views, friendly locals & clean beaches which are wonderful for long walks. This charming seaside town is located between Umhlanga & Ballito, at the mouth of the Mdloti River. Umdloti Beach is a coastal conservancy, with surrounding fields of sugar cane & indigenous forests. The area is a prime location for various wildlife sightings, including whales, dolphins & innumerable bird species. With Umhlanga’s vibey attractions nearby, Gateway Shopping Centre an 8-minute drive away, 10kms to King Shaka International Airport, & 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.
