Fantastic family fun!

Safe, clean resort with lots of activities for the whole family. The nature reserve next-door is a great location for a walk, with a café nestled on the boardwalk. Tasty, affordable food at the café and very friendly, helpful staff. Umhlanga is a great holiday location with amazing malls and beautiful beach. Highly recommended!

We loved staying here - we travelled from jnb and from the US. It would have been wonderful if they had more options for excursions to town and airport shuttle throughout the year. Durban is an amazing destination all year round so I think that these services should be available to the guests.

Our kids loved the different pool options, slides, playground, trampoline, and mini golf. The nature reserve walk right next door offered a great opportunity for a scenic break. The two bedroom and living room was a comfortable option for 5 travelers with great ocean views. The restaurant specials and accommodations to kids particular requests were some of the best meals we had all trip. Great option to stay when traveling through Durban King Shaka International Airport.

This is an amazing sea-facing resort in the swanky Umhlanga area. It's not far from many restaurants and nightlife. The units are large and well appointed. Its guests appear to be mostly locals. We did not try the restaurants as the hours seemed off with our schedule. The only downside is that the staff seems unprepared for guests' arrivals - not enough people at the front desk - and then pushy when they help you. I would stay there again.
