Nkawu Cottage

 
 

Description

Mtunzini, or 'place in the shade' in Zulu, is situated 135km from Durban on the KwaZulu-Natal North coast. This small, friendly town is the setting for Nkawu Cottage and the home of Isabelle and Yves Peneff, a Belgian couple who left their country 14 years ago in search of tranquility and beauty. They found what they were looking for and would love to share it with you.
Mtunzini has everything you need for an amazing getaway. There are a few shops and restaurants in town for your basic needs and many activities for you to enjoy. It has its own nature reserve, a magnificent lagoon, breathtaking dunes and endless beaches... exactly 2,3 km from the Cottage.
The cottage is decorated with a professional touch as Isabelle is a paint technique specialist. Attention to detail is what you can expect from this fully furnished, self-catering cottage. Everything is included for your comfort and to make sure that your stay is an enjoyable one!
The cottage has two air-conditioned separate bedrooms, one with a double bed and one with 2 single beds (an extra bed can be arranged). The cottage has an open plan dining/living room and entrance hall. Facilities include - T.V. and video machine, fully equipped kitchen, bathroom with basin, shower/bath, separate toilet, barbeque area with garden furniture and secure parking. Towels and sheets are provided, but bring your own beach towels - laundry facilities are also available at extra cost. The is a DSTV recorder available but you need to bring your own Smart Card.
'Local activities' include table tennis on site, horse riding, microlight flights, golf, squash, barge excursions, surfing, mountain biking, many walking trails, water skiing, jet skiing, canoeing and cultural tours.
Mtunzini is an hour away from the renowned 'Hlululuwe/Umfolozi Park'. Half an hour further North is the 'St Lucia Wetland Park', a World Heritage site, on the Maputaland coast. Scuba diving is a must! An hour's drive South towards Durban you will find 'Gateway shopping centre' where kids can enjoy the skateboard park and wave house, climbing wall or catch a movie. Eshowe, close inland, offers an aerial boardwalk, high up in the forest canopy, a must for the avid bird watcher.

Very nice place
Helen Meyer, South Africa

In town but very quiet and secluded. Friendly people. I can recommend the cottage.
Superb Stay

Nkawu is a little gem. It is rare to find a self catering cottage that is modern, stylish and well-equipped - and Nkawu is one of the few. We had a delightful stay (pity it was only one night) but it is a perfect rest stop on the way to the game lodges in the north. We couldn't have been happier!
