A surprise stop-over stay for our one year anniversary was at umngazi. The breathtaking views, the stunning set up and the lovely ambiance of the place made making memories to last a lifetime incredible. The food was nom nom (although we ate only fish and vegetables- due to diet requirements) and the serving portions were generous! I loved eating 5... More

Great place for family holiday! Stunning beach, wonderful service and great value for money. Well run by real professionals, who are passionate about what they do.

This hotel is really geared for the family, not just the kids, but the parents as well; in terms of the room designs, the environment, the facilities and activities. There is always someone ready to take care of your little ones, so that you can enjoy your partner that much more! The showers I found to be interesting, basically you... More

We stayed at Umgazi in October 2010 and it goes down for me as the best resort worldwide that I have stayed at with children. We flex from johannesburg to Umtata on Airlink and then it was a 2 hour drive. I think next time I would rather fly to Durban and take the charter flight. Our son was 14... More

We have been going to Umngazi every year for the past 8 years with friends and we - and our children - have loved it every year. Not fancy but really relaxing and totally removed from anything unreal and glitsy. Our children loved it because it was a holiday where they renewed friendships (other than the families we went with)... More
