General information

Located on the South Coast of South Africa in the small beach town of Umzumbe. Only 1 hour South of Durban Airport, this private surf house is a casual destination for surfers and beach lovers, with a "hey bru" environment, the vibe is always beachy and relaxed. Seclusivley located in a tropical bush setting with beach front access to Umzumbe's stunning blue flagged beach and famous right hand point break. It is a surf and beach lovers paradise. Surf lessons, surf rentals and guided surf trips are available daily. The staff and owners are a breath of fresh air providing the most friendly customer service and hospitality.

The large beachfront property is surrounded by natural coastal forest humming with life and grants you direct access to Umzumbe's pristine blue flag beach.

Waking-up early has never been easier with the sound of crashing waves on your doorstep. If the surf is mellow, there are plenty of quiet, shady hammocks scattered around the yard, for you to kick up your feet and relax. We share the property with many friendly animals; including the elusive small blue duiker, flamboyant purple lourie and plenty mischievous vervet monkeys.

The large property lends itself perfectly to countless activities. Round up a group for volley ball or find your zen quietly in the yoga area. A comfortable and natural beach setting perfectly suited for the solo surfer, group of friends, romantic couple or adventurous family.

Sometimes you want to venture out from the property and explore what's going on in the Umzumbe Area.
