Our place is situated right on the beach with direct access from the building . It is close to all basic amenities. We have pool and beach views from the balcony with pier views from the front door. This is a modern self catered apartment.
I love hosting and meeting new people. It has recently become a keen interest to me as I always strive to give of my best to the guests and deliver with great expectations.
Margate is a favourite seaside resort town located on the South Coast of Kwa-Zulu - Natal. It has beautiful beaches and alot of interesting family restaurants which is not found elsewhere if you are a foodie.Its famous for Whale watching and the sardine run.
