Destination Management Services is a Brand of individually owned premium apartments managed by Trevor Pitt and Rob Roberts, both of whom have been in hospitality management for a lifetime. We are passionate about providing excellent service and going that extra mile to ensure our guests are comfortable. The DMS Brand is a standard of service and presentation that we apply to all our apartments. From white pure cotton linen, fluffy towels to fully equipped kitchens, cable TV and Wi-Fi, we ensure the apartment is ready for every need. DMS ensures you can book with confidence knowing there is a reliable company taking care of each apartment. On a personal note, Trevor's passion is what we call 'green-fishing' from his sea kayak - doesn't bring anything back but the ones that get away are huge. Rob prefers to spend his time more profitably watching birds.

Open plan is the style you must feel comfortable with as even the shower is open to the apartment.

La Mercy is situated on the Dolphin Coast between Umhlanga and Ballito, approximately 25 kilometres north of Durban. From La Mercy it is relatively quick to get to Durban’s Shaka Marine World, the International Convention Centre and the various sport stadia. Alongside La Mercy is a beautiful sandy beach which has a shallow intertidal zone where the low tides form a myriad of rocky inshore pools. The coastal waters are rich in marine life providing endless shore fishing opportunities and great offshore ski boat and paddle ski fishing. Walking along the beach you will inevitably see dolphins and when in season whales breaching. For the more active bring your fat bikes and ride the endless beaches north to Ballito or south to Durban. The Umdloti River mouth opens to the sea when the rains come but when the mouth is closed a wide deep lagoon is formed, ideal for stand up paddle boarding, canoeing and kitesurfing. We don’t provide for activities but we can certainly point you in the right direction, so bring along all your toys as there are opportunities galore to play with them all.
