THE RITZ BEACH COTTAGE
Self Catering Cottage Accommodation
in Blythedale Beach, North Coast,
KwaZulu-Natal, South Coast
'The Ritz' has an elevated position right on the beach which gives it the
best sea views in Blythedale. There is direct private access onto a quiet
child-friendly beach (lots of rock pools and gullies at low tide!), as well as
the main swimming beach (shark-netted and has life guards in season) which is
only 100 m to the North for those who are more adventurous and want to try their
hand at surfing or body-surfing. There are lovely walks down to the Umvoti River
Conservancy which is very well-known in birding circles for the large variety of
bird life and it is one of the few breeding sites of the rare red-winged
pratincole.
Main House Accommodation:
The main house consists of 3 bedrooms - The Main and Second bedrooms are
air-conditioned and have King Size beds with down duvets. The third bedroom has
3 bunk beds. The main bedroom is en-suite while the other 2 bedrooms share a
family bathroom and separate toilet. Linen is provided but not towels, and all
bedrooms have ceiling fans.
The main house sleeps up to 6 adults (or a family of 4 adults and 4 children -
thereafter the garden cottage is available by arrangement for extra bedrooms -
see below).
There is a new kitchen with microwave, thermo fan oven, fridge/freezer etc.
The communal area of the house is an open-plan lounge, dining room, bar area
(with own separate fridge) with sliding glass doors opening onto the front
verandah and covered wooden sundeck, swimming pool and entertainment patio so
that your view whether you are inside the house, in the pool or braai'ing on the
deck is just sea, sea, sea! A Hi-Fi, TV, VCR, DVD player and DStv are provided,
however you need to bring your own DStv SMART card!
There is a double lock-up garage beneath the house and a built-in braai next to
the pool.
Additional Garden Cottage Accommodation:
There is a separate self contained garden cottage consisting of two bedrooms
(one with airconditioning), lounge, kitchenette and bathroom containing toilet
and shower. The cottage can be utilized by larger groups needing the extra rooms
(and is available for use by arrangement).
Pets are welcome by arrangement (the property is fully walled).
Blythedale Beach has probably the lowest crime statistics of the North Coast,
nevertheless the property is very secure and the house is alarmed and linked to
24 hour armed security (you will see the Security vehicle that patrols our beach
24 hours a day!).
A daily cleaning service is available on request. For stays of longer than 3
nights the cleaning service must be taken.
Position of Blythedale Beach:
Blythedale Beach is situated 72 kilometres north of Durban on the Dolphin Coast.
It is a small community with excellent beaches on an unspoilt coastline.
Fishing, musselling, and crayfishing (with the appropriate licences) are
excellent, whale-watching from July to November is exceptional and there is a
huge population of bottle-nosed dolphins that are resident year round.
There are some outstanding golf courses in the area, Prince's Grant is 7km's
away, Zimbali a little further.
Excellent shopping is available in Ballito (20km's to the South) whilst the
bustling ethnic town of Stanger (site of Shaka's Memorial) is only 7km's inland.
Blythedale provides easy access to the Lake St Lucia World Heritage Site (one
hours drive North) with the Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Game Reserve a little further
away. There is a crocodile farm at Sheffield Beach (15km's to the South).
Things to Do:
Take a long walk along the beach. Watch the sun rise over the sea from the deck.
Go bird-watching at Umvoti River Mouth, meet the fishing boats returning from a
day's fishing (there is an official ski-boat launch site for those who want to
bring their boats down), just laze on the deck watching for dolphins and whales,
essentially just relax, relax, relax!
