First stop on my tour with SA Surfari. The energy of the ocean front property is very inviting. The rooms have great lighting, plenty of space, and comfortable beds. The bathrooms are very nice along with the showers, both indoor and outdoor. Staff is awesome and can help with booking activities/tours around the area. Kitchen is very clean and has ample space for cooking and storage. Epic deck for reading and yoga sessions. Lots of rental boards if you want to get out there and shred or take a surf lesson. Free wifi. 2 friendly dogs.

Umzumbe Surf House is the perfect place to spend a few nights on the KZN south coast. The house is beautifully decorated, with neat rooms and a clean shared kitchen. The balcony and deck areas are perfect to lay about reading, playing board games, eating, and drinking, and the garden leads right onto the beach. The staff were friendly and overall, it was a great stay.

Was in the area on business and thought i'd try something different. Although it is really a back-packers for surfers and holiday makers, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Staff were helpfull but suitably chilled. Place is right on the beach and straight out of a The Endless Summer. I stayed in a private rom within the main house, shared bathroom, but very civilised all the same. Clean and organised but relaxed and comfortable, two friendly dogs who are always up for a walk on the beach. Well done guys.

Room tip: Depends what you want, old ballies like me prefer a private room in the house rather than a dorm.

We combined a work/surf trip at Umzumbe for a week and the Beach House served as an ideal spot to do so! Awesome coastline and super friendly staff/team made for an ideal environment - if u heading to Umzumbe, point ur steering wheel in this direction.

My son and I went on a skateboarding and surf holiday in Kzn. We stayed at Umzumbe Surf house. The place is brilliant, plenty to do, great relaxed vibe and my boy laughed and smiled the whole time.

Our hosts ( Rich and Ali) have been fantastic.

For a well priced, relaxing and wonderful kid friendly place I highly recommend it
