Bang opposite the Porsche showroom by the entrance to Umhlanga Ridge a new hotel has opened its doors. In a new concept for Umhlanga, it offers apartments which can be rented on a nightly or long term basis.
This really is a home from home, with a spa, a coffee shop, indoor pool, restaurant, gym and even a laundromat on the premises. Security is superb and you can even park on the same level as your apartment.
You can rent a studio apartment, all the way up to a four bed, and they all include wi-fi, and LCD televisions as well as ducted aircon. The current rate is R500 per night for a studio apartment, which is a bargain.
This is a great concept to have on the Ridge, and brings Durban in line with other major South African cities who already offer luxury self catering options.
If you have guests coming in, check it out, it really is convenient, and a great base
where you can unpack, turn on the television, put some washing on and head out for a drink on the beach later.
