By the Beach, luxury self-catering holiday home, sleeping up to 10 persons on the North Coast of KwaZulu-Natal. It is a flat 150m walk to the Main Salt Rock Swimming Beach, which is protected by shark nets and life guards.
The Accommodation:
The house consists of 5 bedrooms. There is a king en suite with a shower and spa bath. The 2nd queen en suite has a shower. The 3rd double room and the 4th double with single room both interlead into the long dormitory room which has 3 single beds with a shower bathroom leading off the changing room.
The large, modern kitchen, with separate scullery, is open plan to the spacious lounge and diningroom. Sliding doors and windows open out to a covered outdoor entertainment area - wonderful for outdoor breakfasts, braais/barbecue or simply enjoying the views of the sparkling rock pool and tropical garden. The fenced stream at the far side of the garden is lined with tall indigenous mangrove trees, which provides a private, serene, relaxing ambiance and protection when the beach gets too windy. Although close to the beach, the house offers no sea-views.
All bedrooms have fans and 4 of the rooms have airconditioners which are on a meter and charged at the municipal rate for the clients expense. This charge will be taken off the breakage deposit of R2000.
There is an inverter for power outages which powers ONLY the WiFi, TV and one light. Please do not put kettles, hairdriers etc in the inverter plug as it is not strong enough and will burn it out. We tend to not have many power outages due to being on a line with one of the main pump stations in Salt Rock.
A satellite TV and DVD player, is connected to DStv full bouquet. It is a Smart TV with Netflix as well.
There is a basic service daily during week days. A dishwasher is provided for dishes. Weekend and laundry services on request. There is a weekly linen change.
Our caretaker Faith lives on site. Although a pet friendly establishment one needs to confirm with the owner the type and how many pets will reside on the property. Pets need to be fully housetrained and friendly towards our staff.
