WELCOME TO UMNGAZI RIVER BUNGALOWS.


We do hope we’ll soon be welcoming you in person.
We’ve been nestled in the heart of the Wild Coast for many years
now, so we can tell you plenty about all the treasures you and your
family will discover here. There are the expected things, of course
– waterside bungalows that feel like home; our abundant array of
freshly prepared food, and more activities than you’ll find time for.
But then there are the more personal things: Sharing coffee and
rusks as you watch the morning mist brushing the water’s surface.
Falling asleep with an old paperback on your chest and salt in
your hair. Seeing a fish eagle swoop low over the estuary, or
hearing the cattle call from a distant hillside. Taking a shower
open to the atmosphere of the Wild Coast.
Most importantly, there are those timeless moments with family
that allow you to re-connect, refresh and later, remember. Talking
about these things might make you want to visit. To experience
them yourself will make you want to stay.

YOU
EACH OF OUR THATCHED BUNGALOWS is tucked
away amongst indigenous flora, on a green hillside providing more
view than most eyes can take in. Don’t be surprised if you
find yourself perching on the doorstep for hours, simply
watching the waves beyond, while birds forage and bicker
in the bushes around you.
Our homely cottages will make you kick your shoes
off, undo your top button and put your watch aside. And for
slightly breathless honeymooners, there are our tranquil, private
bungalows perfectly positioned to help you forget all about wedding
speeches and guest lists.
Of course, you may want to be out much of every day. You could
spend the whole time dozing by our riverside pool, or hanging out
at Basil’s, where darts, snooker and tall stories make you feel like
a regular in no time. In our lofted hillside spa we’re lucky enough
to have dedicated, professional therapists, if you want your city stress
to be massaged away – to the soundtrack of nothing but breakers
and bird calls. Or you might find relaxation in other ways; in the
gym, on the courts or on a long amble down our pristine
beach; as rich in shore life as most coastlines
used to be. For parents in need of a break,
our dedicated caregivers are always on
hand, so leave the little ones with us and
feel free to relive your early days of romance.

SO BRING A HEALTHY APPETITE. All meals are included


with your booking. What’s more, we’re not shy with our portions
- bigger is better.
Kick off the day with an unhurried River Breakfast as you
loosely plan out another day filled with the sights and sounds of
the hospitable Wild Coast. Later, sample our menu, which offers
up versatile meat dishes, fish so fresh it melts in your mouth and
crackingly good salads and veggies.
Oh, and feel free to make requests. As with everything else, our
menu’s flexible and our chefs are always happy to try and meet
your needs.
If you’re celebrating something special (what is it about the Wild
Coast that makes so many people decide to “pop the question”?), you
can always book out our riverside gazebo for a private get-together.
It’s perched on stilts above the clear, calm waters of our river.
Or try something more ‘uptown’, by requesting a private evening
in the Green Door Wine Cellar, where only you, your party and a
personal waiter will disturb the peaceful atmosphere as you tell tall
tales over a selection of the finest wines from our platinum award-
winning wine list.
At Umngazi, relaxed dining experiences will form the heart of your
very special coastal getaway. If you find yourself settling into your
chair and losing all track of the time, then we’ll know our chefs
are doing their job. It’s second nature for our visitors to sit
around the tables long after another unforgettable
day to recount stories of fun, adventure and exhilaration.
And one thing you won’t be short of after a few days
at Umngazi River Bungalows is stories. Stories you’ll
probably still be telling when your grandkids one day
pay us a visit, and become part of the family too.

you’ll be greeted by our friendly hosts and e

a cool refresher, to begin your escape from
 N
the rat race. S.A. Airlink also offers daily flights
from Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo International
U
Airport, direct to Umtata. Transfer arrangements to
Umngazi can be made for you.

HIT THE ROAD. If you’re driving down to the Wild Coast


from Gauteng, Free State or the Cape to holiday with us, get
yourselves onto the N2 North or South, which runs directly through
Umtata. In central Umtata, look out for the intersection with a sign
for the Port St Johns road; it’s hard to miss. Then you’ll have a
beautiful 90km drive that meanders through lush valleys and gentle
hills, with some spectacular views along the way. The road is spacious
and tarred all the way to our (also clearly marked) turn-off.
From Kwazulu-Natal, take the Port Edward / Bizana / Flagstaff
/ Lusikisiki (R61) route and make your way to us past herds
of cattle and friendly locals. Getting to Umngazi is not the
cross-Africa odyssey you might imagine - even though once
you’re here, you will feel miles away from the rest of the world.
