Beachfront Chalets with Kitchens

Each chalet has a kitchenette, private bathroom with shower and free toiletries, air conditioning, and a seating area with a flat-screen TV and satellite channels. Chalets with private balconies offer panoramic ocean views. Pet-friendly options are available.

Dining Steps Away

The motel has no restaurant, but Tasca Pizza, a KwikSpar grocery store, and several cafes and restaurants are within a 5- to 10-minute walk. Guests can use the communal BBQ facilities and picnic area for self-catering.

Surf, Sun, and BBQ

The motel provides free beach umbrellas and chairs. On-site activities include surfing, kite-surfing, fishing, bike tours, and pub crawls. A sun terrace with deck seating overlooks the ocean. Garden and BBQ areas are available.

20m from Umdloti Beach

The motel is literally 20 meters from the beach, across the road from Umdloti Beach. Mitchell Park Zoo, Umdloti Tidal Pool, and Umhlanga Lagoon Nature Reserve are nearby. King Shaka International Airport is 13 km away.

Practical Services for Guests

Free private parking behind a locked gate, free WiFi throughout, and daily housekeeping. Express check-in/out, private check-in, and grocery delivery are available. Fire extinguishers, key access, and smoke alarms are provided.

“The immediate proximity to the beach here is a distinct advantage, offering a sense of peace often hard to find so close to the shore. It's a place where you can settle in comfortably, with a welcoming atmosphere and the practicalities of daily needs, like shops and dining, just a short stroll away. The elevated deck is a real highlight, a spot to simply unwind and absorb the ocean air.”
