We are able to take advantage of the sub-tropical climate by dining 'al fresco' under the cover of a large thatched gazebo that forms the centrepiece for the garden. A large C shaped 13m swimming pool, which has a deep end of 3m, is ideal for all diving enthusiasts and hugs the gazebo. Pool loungers are provided for you to sit by the pool and soak up the Durban sunshine. |

| The underwater pool lighting and subtle garden lights provide a truly tropical island atmosphere to the place after dark. Plus the guests lounge enables guests to avoid adverse weather and, with TV, is a meeting point for rugby etc. Your host Mickey ensures a varied breakfast choice is provided and will ensure special requirements are catered for. |
