Arguably the best thing about the holiday home is the stunning views of the ocean and the prime location in the complex itself. The complex is on a hill overlooking the mouth of the Mtwalume River where it forms a lagoon where the river flows into the Indian Ocean. The elevation, the fact that unit is right in the front of the complex (no units to obscure the view) and the close proximity to the ocean affords incredible views both off the coast and over the ocean. You can enjoy the views from the large wooden deck surrounding the home or take a stroll to the beach.


The Mtwalume beach has ablution facilities and have lifeguards are on duty during the holidays. The Hiberdene beach (5 minutes away) always has Lifeguards on duty. It is a 5-minute walk to the beach and you can pack a picnic basket or just simply go back to the home for lunch. The best part of the beach is the stunning large tidal pool with a sea sand floor and its own 'beach'. The tidal pool at high tide has got waves breaking over the wall forming smaller waves in the pool that is ideal for all ages of children to enjoy.

It is also a favourite with the local fishermen and there is plenty of fishing of the rocks next to the tidal pool.
