It was love at first sight from the moment we arrived At 4 Umzumbe, Mangrove Beach Estate. The smells and sights brought back hauntingly nostalgic memories of a childhood spent in Durban and my hubby spending childhood holidays at a resort close by. The heady smell of the South Coast vegetation to the neighbours cooking genuine Durban curry made it all the more poignant. This property has something unique about it - surrounded by holiday resorts - every time we visit from the hussle and bussle of life - its just TIME OUT! And that is why we invested in this property. We hope that you enjoy our hospitality and beautiful apartment as much as we do! And we have further good news! The gorgeous estate has huge water tanks for the times when we have interrupted water supply so not to inconvenience our guests!
