The Kwa Zulu Natal region


The KwaZulu Natal South Coast with almost 200km of beaches being havens for swimming, surfing, fishing and diving, with rugged untamed landscape perfect for hiking and 4x4 expeditions, the natural wonders of the area are immediately apparent along with wildlife sanctuaries, amazing 18-hole golf courses and culture laden arts and crafts unique to the South Coast and a temperate climate (average temp 24 degrees centigrate).
The Southbroom area
As you pull off the main road at Southbroom North you relax into calm haven of Southbroom and it's sub tropical vegetation surroundings. Choose the pristine Main Beach, backed by the Imbezine lagoon which offers safe paddling for smaller children, or the wilder beach experience against the Frederika Nature Reserve offering perfect spots to tuck yourself away and explore rock pools or fish from the rocks. Further south is the Umkobi lagoon where birdlife abounds and you can enjoy the comfort of Trattoria La Terazza whilst taking in the views and sounds.
Golfers can test their skills on Southbroom's golf course, just a stone's throw from the Indian Ocean, offering beautiful views of beaches, sea and the relaxation of playing alongside the lush indigenous vegetation of the Frederika Nature Reserve. Follow it up with a relaxing beer at the clubhouse.
The tranquil Bushbuck Trail is an easy walk through indiginous flora and fauna with hope of spotting a duiker, whilst you can see the huge crocs or tiny hatchlings at Riverbend Crocodile Farm. There are tennis courts, bowls, and massage by Jeanne-Louise at the Medical Centre along with a Dr or massage & treatments at Sensasia Beauty Salon.
The Sardine Run is an experience to behold around the month of June. Billions of sardines cause an amazing spectacle as they travel up the coastline attracting a feeding frenzy of predators such as dolphins, whales, sharks and gannets in their hoards. Locals and tourists flock to see this amazing scene.
Broomers restaurant is 2 minutes walk from the house. Riptide is at Main Beach, or on the lagoonside is Trattoria La Terrazza. Other restaurants open in the main season. A large variety of restaurants and bars are close by in Ramsgate and Margate some 10 and 15 minutes drive away.
Whilst Southbroom has a supermarket, pharmacy and wine store more comprehensive shopping is at Ramsgate or Margate and at Shelly Beach and craft shops are dotted around the area.

Guestbook for 25 Southbroom Avenue
We really enjoyed the golf a lot. However we did not play as much as we intended since there was so much else to do. A little example of activities we did was inviting ourself to the Bowl club next door. They were extremely helpful and kind to us and it was fun testing out a game totally unknown to us.
Golf courses we played and what we thought of them:
Southbroom
Lovely club and very nice shop. A bit slow greens, but really beautiful course. Excellent food.
Margate
Turned out as our favorite. very high value for money. Kids played for 28 Rand! Good greens and nice atmosphere.
Wild coast
Fantastic course! The fact that cart is obligatory is a bit difficult for us since we had 4 kids all<18 years so after some discussion they allowed us to play with 3 players/car.
By the way we tested a few restaurants:
Riptide: Nice and high value for money.
Bistro: Very friendly and food quality equal to Riptide.
The Italian restaurant in Southbroom (Trattoria) absolutely the best when it comes to food. Quite a bit better than the rest even if also slightly more expensive.
Of all the tings we did, the only thing that I would not recommend for a family like ours was deep sea fishing. Expensive as we had to rent the whole boat and all got seasick after 1 hour. It is more for adults. Mac Bananas was nice, but low on the value for money thing.
Tina Astrom (Sweden) November 2011
All in all the house, the location in Southbroom and the proximity to the shops, chemist and the letting agent's office was so convenient. The games room was a god send and the swimming pool and terrace was extremely pleasant and relaxing. Broomers was just 250 paces from the front gate! Alan Leeson (UK) June/July 2010 (World Cup)
We had such a stunning time in South Broom your home is stunning wonderfully fitted out. Everything was just great. Margaret is a gem. She takes very good care of your home is very reliable, honest and clean. A real honey. Alson the gardener is also a very fine gentleman. Louise & Joe Rabin (SA) Christmas 2009
Thanks for 3 wonderful weeks in your house, we've really enjoyed it. Lotte, Arne, Karen, Carsten, Bente, Bent and Anni and Preben (Denmark)
We would like to say how much we enjoyed staying at your house in Southbroom. Everything was lovely and the help from Alta with the food and the maid for cleaning was great. We would recommend it to anyone. Rosanna, Kevin, Jake, Sid, Lois, Jenny, Colin, Louise and Sam (UK)
Just wanted to say that the house is absolutely beautiful and it really was a lovely weekend. I will definitely be recommending the house to friends and family. Arusha Naicker (SA)
