THE ALOE HOUSE
Self Catering Cottage/ House/ Bungalow Accommodation
in Leisure Bay, South Coast,
KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
The ultimate luxury beach getaway. The Aloe House (sleeps 8) is a beautiful
home, designed for relaxation and fun. The interior is effortlessly elegant and
light. Enjoy spectacular sea views with your champagne breakfast and then stroll
down to the beach (300 meters) for a swim.
One of the special features of The Aloe House is the fantastic outdoor
entertainment space. It includes a "built-in" gas braai, food "prep" area,
fridge, 8-seater table and swimming pool, surrounded by a lush tropical garden.
The concept of great entertainment is also reflected indoors. The dining room
and lounge lead on to a large viewing deck and the open plan kitchen allows you
to be a "celebrity chef" while gazing at the horizon.
Upstairs is the main bedroom (en-suite) which is big enough to host a private
tea party. It has its own balcony and ocean views from every corner, including
the large bathroom.
Downstairs, the second bedroom is also en-suite with a queen size bed. There are
two single beds in the third bedroom. Right next door is a large bathroom (with
toilet and bath) as well as a separate guest toilet.
The TV room has a double bed sleeper couch, perfect for kids or anyone who
regularly falls asleep in front of the TV.
The Aloe House is completely secure with perimeter fencing (electrified),
automated gate and a full alarm system linked to a security company. The
housekeeper lives on the property and will service the house daily.
Don't miss the perfect beach holiday place!
Too much work, and no vacation,
Deserves at least a small libation.
So hail! my friends, and raise your glasses,
Work's the curse of the drinking classes.

Nature Reserves and Birding
- Oribi Gorge Nature Reserve
This is one of KwaZulu-Natal's most spectacular natural settings; the
scenic Port Shepstone.
Ideal for day-excursions, Oribi offers many delightful walks and self-guided
trails to scenic spots in the reserve. There are numerous idyllic picnic
spots on the banks of the river. Wildlife includes leopard, baboon, small
antelope and a prolific bird life (The bird list numbers 250 with five
kingfisher and seven eagle species).
- Mpenjati Nature Reserve
This lush little coastal reserve is less than 10 minutes drive north
from Leisure Bay. The 60 hectare reserve comprises a system of interlinking
wetlands, grasslands and dune forests. The most popular activities are
birding, fishing, swimming, and hiking. Two picnic sites on each bank of the
Mpenjati River have barbecue facilities, ablution blocks, and a children's
playground.
Adventure Fun

Lehrs waterfall into the depths of the gorge.

- Wild Abseiling - currently the highest natural commercial abseil in the
world at 110 meters.
