Self Catering Cottage/ House/ Bungalow Accommodation
in Southbroom, South Coast,
KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Umkobi Lodge, situated in Southbroom, South and one beach North of San Lameer,
is a picturesque complex of 36 log-homes located on the banks of the Umkobi
lagoon. The lodge offers a unique combination of both beach and bush views and
boasts an abundance of wild-life.
No. 2 has an optimum position within the complex being at the highest point,
offering majestic views of the Indian Ocean and the surrounding riverine bush.
The house is a 200sqm bungalow with three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, main en suite
and an open plan kitchen, dining, lounge that leads onto a spacious wooden
sea-facing deck. Two bedrooms have direct access to the deck which surrounds the
house on three sides. The main bedroom has a king-size bed, the guest bedroom a
double and the third bedroom has two single beds. The lounge provides additional
sleeping facilities with two sleeper couches. Towels and bedding are provided
and occasional or daily servicing can be arranged at extra cost.
The well-equipped kitchen offers an automatic washing machine, tumble dryer,
dishwasher and double door fridge/freezer. Additionally there are several other
convenient appliances such as a microwave, ice-machine and electric frying pan
along with the normal stove/oven. An eight-seater dining table provides an
opportunity to enjoy a home cooked meal with your family or friends.
Alternately, you can enjoy one of the many restaurants in the area, the closest
being La Trattoria la Terraza, which shares lagoon frontage with Umkobi and is
visible from the deck.
A large screen TV with DSTV is provided in the lounge area and is visible from
the kitchen and dining room. The adjacent bedroom also has a flat-screen TV to
allow the kids to watch Cartoon Network while you enjoy the lounge and the view
from the deck in the evening. One of the major attractions of Umkobi in the
summer months is the huge flocks of Barn Swallows that nest in the reed-bed of
the lagoon. This is truly a breath-taking experience with literally
hundreds-of-thousands of these annual visitors filling the sky. Umkobi also
boasts some other interesting bird-life including the iconic fish-eagle, Knysna
Lourie, Purple Crested Lourie, Trumpeter Horn-Bill and many more.
The surrounding area of Southbroom offers many beach options, depending on your
preference. Southbroom Main Beach and Marina Beach are abuzz with activity and
both offer restaurants and take-away facilities. Granny Beach and Umkobi beach
are quieter with no shops, so be sure to take your cooler box and enjoy a
relaxing day on a typical South African beach.
Activities in Southbroom include golf, tennis, bowls, fishing, nature walks or a
visit to the nearby crocodile farm. While you are there, you may want to visit
Pistols Saloon, an authentic Western style bar complete with honky-tonk piano,
swing doors and the occasional donkey or chicken who wander in.
