Having left Belgium 20 years ago, my husband and I have finally found the peace and tranquility we were looking for! After moving from place to place, from country to country, we landed in Mtunzini, which means “place in the shade” in Zulu.
How fortunate we were, this little town, on the North coast, has its own nature reserve; Umlalazi Nature Reserve, a magnificent lagoon, breathtaking dunes and an endless beach … 2.3 km exactly from our cottage. A Spar, shops around the corner, a pizzeria and a few restaurants make it all convenient.
Nkawu Cottage is definitely ideally situated to enjoy an amazing stay. After discovering Zululand, you will dream of its green beauty, blue ocean and feel enriched with diverse memorable experiences. Nkawu Cottage (Vervet monkey in Zulu), is part of our 4000m² property.
Our totally independent cottage has:
• Two separate bedrooms, one with a double bed, one with two single beds and both have air conditioners
• Open plan dining / living room and entrance hall
• TV and video machine
• Fully furnished kitchen where every practical detail has been thought of
• Bathroom with a basin, shower facility
• Separate toilet
• Towels and sheets are provided, bring your own beach towels
• Lots of cupboard space
• Barbeque area with garden furniture
• Secure parking
• Laundry facilities at extra cost
Situated 135km from Durban, our cottage is an hour away from the renowned big five Hlululuwe / Umfolozi Park, and a further half an hour drive is the St Lucia Wetland Park, on the magnificent Maputaland Coast - a World Heritage Site, where scuba diving is a must.
On a cloudy day, an hours drive away is the Gateway Shopping Centre where kids can enjoy the skateboard park and wave center, climb the wall or watch a movie.
We really enjoyed decorating our cottage; we used our creativity and professional skills (we are paint technique specialists) to make it a very special place …we believe it is more than just a self catering cottage.
