As the property is security fenced, has an automated gate, each room has an independent alarm system, coupled with the added security of staff being onsite 24 hours a day, you really can sit back and relax.
We are able to take advantage of the sub-tropical climate by dining 'al fresco' under the cover of a large thatched gazebo that forms the centrepiece for the garden. A large C shaped 13m swimming pool, which has a deep end of 3m, which is ideal for all diving enthusiasts, hugs the gazebo. Pool loungers are provided for you to sit by the pool and soak up the Durban sunshine. The underwater pool lighting and subtle garden lights provide a truly tropical island atmosphere to the place after dark. Your host Mickey ensures a varied breakfast choice is provided and will ensure special requirements are catered for.
