What you get in Umdloti
The tidal pool for small children, the open beach for everyone else, both shark-netted with lifeguards in season.
Fourteen minutes from King Shaka airport, so a late flight still gets you to the sea the same evening. The drive, the flight and the transfer are set out in getting here.
Twenty-plus places to eat within a walk or a five-minute drive, from fish and chips on the beach to Marine Walk.
Whales from July to November, the sardine run in winter, kitesurfing from September. See what's on and the live status board before you pack.
Booked? Your first day in Umdloti covers the airport run, groceries on foot, the first swim, dinner and who to call.
Questions before you book
How far is Umdloti from King Shaka airport?
King Shaka International Airport is 12.5 km away, about a 14-minute drive, with Uber active in the area. A late flight still gets you to the sea the same evening.
How far are the apartments from the tidal pool?
A short walk. Both sit on Umdloti Beach, about two minutes from the sand, and the tidal pool sits on the same beachfront with its own lifeguard tower.
How do I book?
Through Airbnb, on the listing page for the apartment you want. Airbnb messaging reaches the owner directly and is answered within a day.
How many people does each apartment sleep?
Four in each. The loft has two bedrooms, two beds and two bathrooms. The studio has three beds and one bathroom.
Do both apartments have sea views?
Yes. Both are sea-facing with 180-degree sea views, as shown on the Airbnb listings.
What about parking, check-in time, minimum nights, cots and Wi-Fi?
Ask on the listing. Those answers change per unit and per season, so the Airbnb listing and its messaging are the place to get them in writing rather than a general claim here.
