Umzumbe Surf House

Stayed at the Umzumbe surf house and had the best time of our lives ! Perfect way to wake up with beautiful weather on your doorstep as well as beautiful people Nicky and Mari ! They made our time the most comfortable and best we could have ask for ! I’m definitely going back to join them on a new surf adventure! Thank you Umzumbe Surf house for the amazing hospitality.

A really wonderful and special place to relax and unwind. The cabins are super awesome with easy access the the beach. The hosts were really accommodating friendly and offered awesome activities including yoga and surfing for all levels.

"Wow, what an absolute gem! My stay at Umzumbe Surf House was truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed and at home. The host was incredible - friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. The room was cozy, beautifully decorated, and spotlessly clean. The bed was so comfortable, and the linens were crisp. The location was perfect, close to the beach and the hosts provided great recommendations for exploring the area.

This place is an absolute gem! Nestled by the sea, it offers a chance to reconnect with nature and leave behind the hustle of daily life. There’s a grounding energy here, a reminder of life’s simple joys and the beauty of the natural world. We stayed in the sea-facing cottage, which was perfectly equipped and incredibly comfortable. It’s the kind of place where you can unwind, free from any pretenses—just pure relaxation. Some might be concerned about local geckos, but we found them to be a delightful part of the experience. One or two make an appearance, keeping the odd mosquito at bay. It’s all part of the natural balance here, a small reminder that nature isn’t something to fear but to appreciate. You’re truly paying for the experience and the unbeatable location. Everything you need is right here, and Woolies Dash even delivers if you want added convenience. There’s no need to go anywhere else—dolphin sightings, fishing, and beachcombing are just a few steps away. October weather was comfortable, and we didn’t miss having aircon.. If you’re looking for luxury amenities like air conditioning, TVs, and room service, a high-rise hotel may be a better fit. But if you want to destress and enjoy an authentic seaside retreat, this is the place to be. It’s serene, laid-back, and perfect for those who prefer a peaceful escape. October was delightfully quiet, but for those wanting extra solitude, it’s worth checking availability during busier months like December when campers and beach house guests might also be around. Thank you to our hosts!

Really perfect location. The hosts Nick & Mari were very responsive and helpful and also allowed one privacy. I felt safe even though I was travelling alone. I highly recommend this little haven, especially if you're a beach-lover as one of the most beautiful beaches in the province is literally just through the garden gate.

Umzumbe Surf Camp is the place where you go to find the 'backpacker' that all of us have in us. The urge to find a place to escape the b*llshit in our fast lives and go back to basics. Chill, surf, meet new people and relax. Amazing hosts who give a sh*t about your experience
