A comfortable and characterful house situated in the lazy coastal town of Umkomaas on the Kwazulu Natal south coast. Numerous dive centres in town visit the Aliwal Shoal which is one of the top ten dive sites in the world. Beautiful beaches and amazing sea view golf courses, exciting mountain bike trails and river paddling, kayak and ski boat fishing and excellent bird watching add to the fun.

Shark & Shoal was such a tranquil experience it created such a peaceful retreat. I came to Umkomaas for the diving and felt so relieved my school suggested Shark & Shoal. Solia goes above and beyond for her guests. Going even so far as giving me a ride to catch an airport shuttle, since I didn’t realize there wouldn’t be Ubers in the area. I hope to return again, I enjoyed my stay tremendously.

We came to Umkomaas so I could dive at Aliwal. The first thing about Solia's place is the view. It is so tranquil to look up the river at the sunshine. As others have said before me, we were made very welcome and given so much information about surrounding restaurants, things to see etc. One morning I had to leave at 6:30 am to go diving and Esther said she'd be at the driveway to open the (normally powered) gate for me as it had a problem. That was typical of the help they all gave us. We miss you!
