The ultimate luxury beach getaway. The Aloe House (sleeps 8) is a beautiful home, designed for relaxation and fun. The interior is effortlessly elegant and light. Enjoy spectacular sea views with your champagne breakfast and then stroll down to the beach (300 meters) for a swim.
One of the special features of The Aloe House is the fantastic outdoor entertainment space. It includes a portable gas braai, food "prep" area, fridge, 8-seater table and swimming pool, surrounded by a lush tropical garden. The concept of great entertainment is also reflected indoors. The dining room and lounge lead on to a large viewing deck and the open plan kitchen allows you to be a "celebrity chef" while gazing at the horizon.
Upstairs is the main bedroom (en-suite) which is big enough to host a private tea party. It has its own balcony and ocean views from every corner, including the large bathroom.
Downstairs, the second bedroom is also en-suite with a queen size bed. There are two single beds in the third bedroom. The fourth bedroom has a double bed. Right next door is a large bathroom (with toilet and bath) as well as a separate guest toilet.
The Aloe House is completely secure with perimeter fencing (electrified), automated gate and a full alarm system linked to a security company. The housekeeper lives on the property and will service the house daily.
Don't miss the perfect beach holiday place!
Too much work, and no vacation,
Deserves at least a small libation.
So hail! my friends, and raise your glasses,
Work's the curse of the drinking classes.
-Oscar Wilde

Nature Reserves and Birding
Oribi Gorge Nature Reserve
This is one of KwaZulu-Natal's most spectacular natural settings; the scenic port Shepstone. Ideal for day-excursions, Oribi offers many delightful walks and self-guided trails to scenic spots in the reserve. There are numerous idyllic picnic spots on the banks of the river. Wildlife includes leopard, baboon, small antelope and a prolific bird life (The bird list numbers 250 with five kingfisher and seven eagle species).
Mpenjati Nature Reserve
This lush little coastal reserve is less than 10 minutes drive north from Leisure Bay. The 60 hectare reserve comprises a system of interlinking wetlands, grasslands and dune forests. The most popular activities are birding, fishing, swimming, and hiking. Two picnic sites on each bank of the Mpenjati River have barbecue facilities, ablution blocks, and a children's playground.
Adventure Fun The Wild Five at Oribi Gorge should not be missed. Wild Gorge Swing - is the highest swing in the world. You step off the Lehrs waterfall into the depths of the gorge. Wild water rafting - relaxed paddle or rapids on the mighty Umzimkhulu. Wild Abseiling - currently the highest natural commercial abseil in the world at 110 meters. Wild Slide - a foofy slide for the less brave; slide 120m along a steel cable 160m above the ground for a unique view of the gorge and Lehrs falls. Wild Hiking and Bike Trails
