Umhlanga Accommodation In The Centre Of Local Entertainment

By Sihle Hangana, 29.06.11 | Comments
There is only one road that actually leads into the suburb of Umhlanga, on the north coast of Durban. The village atmosphere holds a special appeal, but it’s the sea view that will grab you every time – whether you’re a resident or a visitor.

Umhlanga accommodation is highly valued by holidaymakers for its proximity to the beach and all its accompanying attractions. Summer or winter, this is prime holiday space. The climate is sub-tropical so summers are hot and humid, with winters that can get cold but not to the type of freezing temperatures experienced inland or on the west coast.

The Beverly Hills offers luxury Umhlanga accommodation from one of the best vantage points. It’s practically on the beach, and a few strides away from top restaurants and small shopping centres. In the past few years, the area has exploded with new developments going up and the once tiny shopping centres now have more to offer in the way of retail therapy without losing the intimate atmosphere.

If you want to eat in-house, this Umhlanga accommodation incorporates the elements Café bar, which serves gourmet lunches and dinners, as well as The Sugar Club, which is accredited with membership of the Chaine de Rotisseurs confirming its standing as a fine-dining destination all day long. This Umhlanga accommodation is one of the best locations for a sundowner cocktail too.

The Garden Court Umhlanga provides more economical Umhlanga accommodation ideal for larger families. And it has gone green in terms of water usage, air cooling, air filtration, and paper and board recycling! Not that you’d notice – as guests’ comfort is a priority – but it’s good to know.

If you want to get out of the village to see a movie, go to the theatre or shop ’til you drop, Gateway Theatre of Shopping is a short drive away. It offers masses of shops and restaurants as well as a rooftop sporting arena and the ever-popular Wave House. This accommodates everybody who loves a board sport – from skateboarders to surfers – and those who want the kind of fun you can have on a water slide.

The facility offers the only Double Point break wave of its kind in the world called the D-Rex (Durbanicus Rex). Professional instructors are on hand to assist and teach all disciplines from stand-up riding to bodyboarding.

If you’re the intellectual type, you’re going to love the ScienCentre!
