Situated less than one hours drive South of Durban, this luxury guesthouse sits proudly above the warm Indian Ocean, the sound of the waves crashing on the Umdoni Point rocks below, caressed by the ocean breezes that frequent our KwaZulu-Natal coastline. The small coastal village of Pennington is where you’ll find this stately home originally built for the first Prime Minister of the Union of South Africa, General Louis Botha, in 1920. Situated in the well known Umdoni Park, home to the highly ranked Umdoni Park Golf Course, guests are treated to lush unspoilt coastal vegetation, excellent bird watching opportunity, invigorating beach and forest walks and an abundance of ocean activities. It’s location certainly allowing for all discerning travellers to come and enjoy the South Coast Experience first hand. All the décor within the house, although some having been upgraded in 2008, has been left to ensure the originality of the 1920’s design features. Oregon pine floors, double volume ceilings, antique furniture and portraits, a grand old staircase and original bathroom fittings all add to the experience of this historical home. A large indigenous tree-filled garden with rolling lawns is discretely surrounded by an electric fence allowing you to enjoy the natural surroundings knowing that you can relax in a secure environment.
