The room we stayed in needs a make over. Fridge door sticky, air conditioner in-affective. Tiles cracked, blinds broken. Resort was fine room was in poor condition. Windows were difficult to open. Monkeys are a pest. Would not recommend.

Great vacation spot. Close to airport, beach, restaurants and shopping centre. Also participates in Parkrun on Saturday mornings.

5/5 - Excellent

The staff were brilliant - on hand politely, but not in any way overbearing.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

We were recommended uMhlanga by friends as a safer and fancier option to the Golden Mile. It was pleasant, we had a great curry at Incredible India and spent some time at the pier.

5/5 - Excellent

The Umhlanga beach area is excellent good shops bars and restaurants. It felt safe with no beggars or street sellers unlike Durban. Would definitely return but maybe stay in a hotel nearer the beach area.
