Property info

This stylish pet friendly unit is RIGHT OPPOSITE the popular UMDLOTI BEACH! We have an inverter at our unit for uninterrupted entertainment and convenience, it is back up power for when the electricity cuts (loadshedding). Wake up to the sunrise and the dolphins frolicking in the ocean. The apartment is a 1 minute walk from a popular stretch of restaurants, and also has a communal pool. It has a 1 Queen bed in the open plan kitchen/lounge, 1 Double bed in a private room and 1 sofa bed in the lounge. The views are to die for and its right opposite the best swimming beach Durban has to offer. Fall asleep to the therapeutic sounds of the ocean. 10 mins from the airport, umhlanga or ballito. No parties allowed. Please note there are stairs to climb to get to the unit, however the view is worth it from the top.
