This house was also the setting of the Summer 21/22 season of “The Real Housewives of Durban” The house features stunning wooden floors throughout which have been reclaimed from old Court Buildings in Pretoria which once Nelson Mandela walked on and the home is filled with beautiful pieces of art and furniture collected from across the globe. The upper level of the home features the master suite, with a huge decked patio and absolutely spectacular views of the Indian Ocean through the ceiling to floor glass windows. There is a Super King sized bed, a bath looking out onto the ocean with magnificent views, two showers and a double vanity. A large open plan space with plenty of natural light and lots of glass, the views from here pretty hard to beat! There is also a tranquil deck leading off the master suite and overlooking the tropical bush at the back of the house. This is kitted out with super comfortable couches and is the perfect spot to escape with a book or a glass of wine for some quiet time in the afternoon sun. The mezzanine level has huge glass windows from ceiling to floor, and a dramatic staircase leading up the the master suite, and houses the 'tv room' or second, informal lounge. This vibrant lounge area with eclectic decor and stunning pieces of art leads onto the huge tiered deck which is flanked by a tropical plant wall-feature and, breathtaking sea views and a lovely pool. Relax on the couches or deck chairs and soak up the glorious sunshine whilst watching dolphins in the ocean or have a cocktail while watching the sun sets on the horizon- this is a truly magical space which is perfect for long summer lunches or braais. The second and third bedrooms both have en-suite bathrooms (one with a bathtub) and lead onto a spectacular outside area at the rear of the house. There’s also a small garden in the back with a lovely jungle gym and sandpit for the smaller kids. The ground level is a huge tiered open plan room, again with huge expanses of glass and breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean. The dining area overlooks the main lounge area with the open plan kitchen just next to it. A spectacular feat of architecture Below the house on the garden level is a fully self-contained flat with it's own kitchen and eating space. The flat can sleep 4 adults comfortably (in two separate bedrooms) and there is also a mezzanine level above the main bedroom that has 2 single beds where 2 kids can sleep as there are two single mattresses. The flat is self-contained, so it can be accessed separately from outside the house, or through an interleading door inside the house, so it works perfectly should guests require abit of their own privacy. Sleeping arrangements: *all bedrooms have aircon* -Master Bedroom * Super King Size bed * bathtub * 2 showers * double vanity -Second bedroom * 2 single beds * Bathtub with shower -Third bedroom * Queen bed * shower - Fourth bedroom (flatlet) * Queen bed * en suite with shower - Fifth bedroom (flatlet) * Queen bed * maisonette bed with 2 single mattresses for kids * en suite with shower
Stunning home with great views and plenty of space for the family to spread out comfortably. It felt very safe and secure, albeit without complicated entry and exit procedures, which is nice. The master bedroom is very large and spacious and well suited to a couple with the large open showers and indoor/outdoor feel with the sliding doors open. Internet worked well, and the backup solar power is excellent as you are not affected by load shedding. There are quite a lot of stairs, so it's not great for the very elderly (we made it work, tho). I would recommend, and book again as it is very conveniently located in Durban and Umhlanga whilst still feeling like you are away from it all!
My family and I booked the house in celebration of my Mom’s 60th birthday. Booking at the house was the best way to celebrate. The house was beautiful, with the most amazing and serene sea views. The main bedroom has the best views 😊. Alandra is the most friendliest host i’ve ever met. She was very responsive throughout our stay. Thank you Alandra for being such an amazing host 🤗
Very lovely place with excellent views of the ocean. However, a not so pleasant experience due to the issues load shedding may have caused during my stay. We didn’t have hot running water in the upstairs bathroom where my girlfriend could enjoy the bath so we were forced to take showers on the lower level due to it having a different geyser. Also some A/C issues due to load shedding. Overall it wasn’t a bad place to stay but had some minor issues. I was given a slight refund but felt there could’ve been more done I’m just not a complainer and simply dealt with what was in front of me. I would stay there again though and wouldn’t necessarily say this isn’t a great place because it is really nice place to stay.
Umdloti, KZN, South Africa
The house is located in the more prestigious South side of Umdloti, often referred to as the "Llandudno of Durban."
While the North side of Umdloti is known for its big apartment/holiday blocks of flats, the South side is more residential with a proper community feel, and features beautiful small rock pools perfect for small kids to play in.
You can safely (also at night) walk to restaurants, shops, coffee shops which takes maximum 10minutes.
For super convenience, the local Spar supermarket also does grocery deliveries.
Umdloti is a super lovely little beach village, with some of KZN's top restaurants (Bel Punto; Mundo Vida), with supermarkets, hairdresser, pharmacy and other beach life related shops.

The beach is only a few minutes’ walk away. There are some amazing rock pools for kids to swim in (depending on the tide), best to go straight down to the beach and turn left
There is a big tidal pool on the other side of Umdloti – it can get very busy there but it’s usually lovely for kids to swim in
You can go for lovely long beach walks, more quiet ones if you turn right – you could even walk all the way to Umhlanga along the beach, which would take about 1 – 1 ½ hours
It's very easy to get around Umdloti by foot - it's just 2 minutes stroll to the beach, and it's about a 10 minutes walk to restaurants, coffee shops, gift shops etc.
