    My stay at Zuider Zee Guesthouse in Salt Rock was amazing! Gavin, the host, was incredibly kind, helpful, friendly and organized. The place was safe, neat, tidy, super clean and cozy, and it's in a great location. I felt safe and cared for...

    Awesome view. Friendly and helpful owner. 👌 The 4 bed unit was cozy and family-friendly Great security and safe parking. Not near the beach, you will have to drive but it is a walkable distance. Quiet area away from the busy tourist sections.

Gavin & Celeste
Peaceful, tranquil and relaxing, in a warm and friendly environment, this is the place to be to recharge your batteries and break away from a busy lifestyle.
With a love for the Dolphin Coast that goes back many years, Gavin & Celeste opted to relocate permanently to the sunny beaches of KZN in February '15. As fulltime manager, Gavin goes out of his way to ensure guests have a comfortable, relaxing stay.
With a number of spectacular golf courses and safe swimming beaches in the area, Salt Rock is perfect for a relaxing outdoor breakaway. Great cycling trails are close by, microlighting, and surf schools abound for the adrenalin seeking enthusiast.
