    I wanted a secluded peaceful getaway for my birthday and that's exactly what I got. The unit was spotlessly clean. Very well equipped. Tranquil environment. Gavin is a tremendous host. His kindness and care is much appreciated.

    Everything surpassed my expectations. Clean, peaceful and Gavin was an absolute star. Not to mention the friendly kitties that checked up on us from time to time. Exceptional service. Will definitely go back and would highly recommend.

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.
