Cecelia's Holiday Manor
About the home
Cecelia's Holiday Manor is a warm and inviting three bedroom home on the beachfront on the North Coast of Durban, Kwa-zulu Natal. The manor has a beautiful coastal forest garden which is home to the most exquisite bird life including our grand old fish eagle. The most spectacular part of the garden is the elevated sundeck which is quietly placed amongst the imposing Milkwood trees. It towers over the shoreline overlooking the Indian Ocean and breaker waves, giving our guests a breathtaking panoramic view of the seascape.
Cecelia's Holiday Manor is rich in natural vegetation of strelitzias, palms and other beautiful tropical plants and indigenous trees. The garden has been kept in its most natural state to maintain its pristine beauty. We have created a place where guests can enjoy a holiday in a comfortable, informal yet luxurious setting that will certainly make your holiday memorable one.

The Kwa Zulu Natal region


Durban is a city that is ocean lined with golden beaches and offers a subtropical climate. The region offers sunny weather all year round. Holiday-makers flock to their favourite coastal destinations all year to cultivate a tan, ride the waves, eat, drink and generally have fun. Besides the sweeping beaches and calm lagoons where surfing, snorkelling, fishing and swimming are enjoyed, you can play golf, bowls and tennis or just soak up the sun.
From Durban to the North Coast the road snakes through subtropical bush, and sugar cane fields, this is eye candy at it's best. North of the Tugela Mouth to Umdloti River is aptly known as the Dolphin Coast. Close inshore, shoals of bottle-nose dolphins gambol in the waves, providing endless entertainment with their engaging antics. Arguably the gem of the entire Natal North Coast is Zinkwazi Beach. Zinkwazi beach offers a quiet village life, with first world amenities and a cosmopolitan buzz just minutes away.
The Zinkwazi Beach area
Golfing requires a special mention. There are four magnificent courses in the surrounding areas. Princes' Grant with beautiful sea views, Umhlali and Zimbali Golf course designed by the famous American Professional, Tom Weiskopf, and the beautiful Darnall golf course, which is approximately 4 km away.
Modern shopping is spread throughout the surrounding areas, and if this is still not enough then Durban with its array of Shopping Malls is only 40 minutes away. The King Shaka Cultural Tourism Trail is a celebration of the life of King Shaka, the man who turned a small clan into a mighty Zulu Nation. It is an exciting self-drive, community based excursion that takes you to places such as his grave, Memorial and Interpretive Centre, the Indaba Tree, The High Rock, Mavivane Execution Cliff and King Shaka's Pool. Legend has it that a snake appears in the pool which is supposed to be the spirit of King Shaka himself. As you travel the King Shaka trail you will also pass other places of interest such as the grave of Albert Luthuli and historic battle sites including Ultimatum Tree, Fort Pearson, Ndonga Kasuka and Fort Tenedos. The Harold Johnson Nature Reserve offers traditional muti (medicine)trails and is home to a Zulu museum.
