A Slice of Paradise in Umhlanga, KZN! A welcoming and very peaceful B&B in Umhlanga with sensational views. Snezana, the owner is very welcoming, kind, patient and accommodating, as are her very friendly and helpful staff. If you are looking for a peaceful stay with breathtaking views, then this is the place to be. Thank you for everything, the only problem was that I couldn't stay longer!
