Travellers' Choice
On the beach! Popular establishment, a quick walk down the little roadway (approx. 50m) and you're on the beach. Great place to relax and unwind – feels like a permanent holiday! We offer fully equipped Self Catering Apartments (1, 2, 4 and 6 sleeper cottages), budget Backpacker dorms, doubles, twins and lovely private rooms set in a tropical garden. All major KZN tourist attractions within a 15 minute to 3 hour radius, so it's a great place to base yourself if you plan on doing a few day trips in KZN. For our business clients, we are within close proximity to all the industrial centres – Jacobs, Maydon Wharf, Prospecton, Clairwood. Great atmosphere with friendly and helpful staff. Free super fast fibre wifi connection, small bar, swimming pool, pool table as well as a small surf/beach/curio shop. Heidi's Cafe on site - a very popular cafe serving good filter coffee, breakfasts (health and full English), as well as delicious home baked treats (when available - these sell out fast!)

Finding a place to stay on the Bluff is not easy, finding the perfect place to relax after an extremely hard day even more difficult. What an awesome place to kick-off shoes, put on shorts and slops and just chill… Awesome little hideaway and totally private and relaxed environment… thanks guys!!

It was great to stay at Anateys and just spend time alone to heal. Just what I needed. I would encourage others to make use of their service and spend time on the beach relaxing and enjoying themselveselves.
