Best stay Umngazi is a very special place. We are active people, so love the river to padel board up, do lovely coastal walks and we love the beach. We don't have small kids so don't spend much time around the pool as we prefer the beach. The accommodation is lovely and the food is out of this world. Overall an amazing relaxing 5 days.

Wonderful stay at Umngazi ⭐️ We had an amazing stay at Umngazi. Our bungalows were beautiful, just loved the outdoor shower. The staff were all super friendly and helpful. The food - I don’t even know where to begin. Plenty, wholesome, and super tasty. Overall, it was just pure bliss!

A little piece of paradise Probably don't want to write a great review because this is a little secret gem that exists in South Africa that we probably want to keep to ourselves. The beach is pristine, beautiful and peaceful. The sand white and soft, The river...lazy, relaxing and full of bird life. The food... tasty, comforting and fresh. The Spa - Exquisite...went more than once:)
