Neighbourhood information

Situated in Umdloti, in the heart of KwaZulu Natal’s Dolphin Coast, this seaside unit is a hop skip & jump away from a swimming beach, and a few minutes’ walk from 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.
