Is Umngazi Hotel & Spa Wheelchair Friendly?

The resort is built on a hillside and spread across the property. As a result, guests should expect some uphill walking and a fair distance to certain rooms. For this reason, Umngazi is not wheelchair friendly. However, a single room can accommodate a wheelchair guest comfortably, so please enquire before booking.

Which Rooms Are Best for Families?

Garden, River and Sea Rooms all suit families. Selected rooms have interleading options, so parents and children can stay side by side.

Garden Rooms

Garden Rooms are Double or Family Rooms close to the main hotel facilities. They sit amid lawns and manicured indigenous gardens. Each has two single beds or a large king-sized bed, plus an en-suite bathroom with an outside shower and a patio.

River Rooms

River Rooms are Double, Twin or Family rooms with spectacular views of the Mngazi River. They are peaceful, with the sounds of the river and birdlife close by. Beds are either two singles or a large king. Interleading options are available for families with kids. Bliss!

Sea Rooms

Sea Rooms have prime locations with sea views, yet stay close to the hotel facilities. They come as Double, Twin or Family Rooms, and interleading options are available. The rooms are split into upper, middle and lower bank categories. Because of their spectacular views, they are a crowd favourite. They also work well for friends or couples sharing.

What Deluxe Suites Does Umngazi Hotel & Spa Offer?

For couples and groups seeking extra privacy, the resort offers four deluxe suite types. Each one sits apart from the main hotel and has its own character.

Emlonyeni Deluxe Sea-Facing

These gorgeous suites are adults only. They sit near the river mouth with a panoramic sea view. Guests enjoy a private plunge pool and a deck with private dining. Each suite has two single beds or a large king, an en-suite dressing room and bathroom, a TV lounge and an outside shower. Emlonyeni is ideal for groups booking together, or for anyone wanting extra privacy.

Honeymoon Deluxe Sea-Facing Standard Rooms

This is another adults-only option with dreamy sea views. The suites sit away from the main hotel, so privacy is guaranteed. Guests fall asleep to the sound of the ocean, and a cosy fireplace warms the winter months. Each has a king-sized bed, an en-suite bathroom with a bath and double outside shower, and a kitchenette. Guests can also use the Emlonyeni TV lounge and private pool. Explore our honeymoon packages for more.
