Welcome to oyster cottages

Oyster Cottages consists of two independent self-catering cottages, sharing a single corner property, nestled in one of Umhlanga's oldest suburbs and yet perfectly situated - 5 minutes drive - to beaches, restaurants and shopping centres.

Once the farmhouse of an early Umhlanga fruit farm, the 6-sleeper main cottage 'Oyster Lodge' has been elegantly renovated, whilst the spacious 3-sleeper 'Pearl Cottage', was built from new. Indigenous fever (Acacia) trees line the road verge and guests are welcomed to a well manicured garden with partial sea views.

Oyster Lodge

'Oyster Lodge', is characterised by a deep wrap around veranda with designer appointed bedrooms and living areas. It also boasts a fully equipped and functional kitchen - including dishwasher - for those with a flair for entertaining (albeit on holiday!). Barbeque/Braai equipment is also provided.

The queen bedded main bedroom is en-suite, with a full bathroom (toilet, basin, shower and bath). The 2 other bedrooms have 2 single beds each and share a spacious bathroom (toilet, basin & shower). All bedrooms are air-conditioned. Oyster Lodge sleeps 6

The lounge and dining areas are inviting, comfortable and tastefully appointed. They are linked to the veranda via wide timber folding doors allowing cool breezes to filter through whilst connecting the interior of the cottage to the garden and sea views - perfect for al fresco dining.

A widescreen television connected to a satellite decoder and DVD player is provided.

Pearl Cottage

'Pearl Cottage' is a one bedroom cottage, with a queen size double bed. It is both comfortable and spacious and includes all the facilities and attention to decor of Oyster Lodge. A sleeper couch and additional linen for younger children is also available. Pearl Cottage sleeps 3
