    WELCOME TO UMNGAZI RIVER BUNGALOWS.

    We do hope well soon be welcoming you in person.

    Weve 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 yourfamily 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 youll find time for.

    But then there are the more personal things: sharing coffee andrusks as you watch the morning mist brushing the waters 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 reconnect, refresh and later, remember. Talking

    about these things might make you want to visit. To experience

    them yourself will make you want to stay.

    EACH OF OUR THATCHED BUNGALOWS is tucked

    away amongst indigenous flora, on a green hillside providing more

    view than most eyes can take in. Dont 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 Basils Bar, where darts, snooker and tall stories will make you feel

    like a regular in no time. In our lofted hillside spa were 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.

    When you feel more

    ALIVE ,you also feel more

    HUNGRY

    SO BRING A HEALTHY APPETITE. All meals are included with

    your booking. Whats more, were 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. Like everything else, our menus

    flexible and our chefs are always happy to try and meet your needs.

    If youre 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.

    Its 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 well know our chefs

    are doing their job. Its 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 wont be short of after a few daysat Umngazi River Bungalows is stories. Stories youll

    probably still be telling when your grandkids one day

    pay us a visit, and become part of the family too.

    JUST FLY IN. Durbans Virginia airport is your

    first port of call, where you can board a comfortable

    14-seater aircraft for the short flight down to

    paradise. On the lofted Port St Johns airstrip

    youll be greeted by our friendly hosts and

    a cool refresher, to begin your escape from

    the rat race. S.A. Airlink also offers daily flightsfrom Johannesburgs O.R. Tambo International

    Airport, direct to Umtata. Transfer arrangements to

    Umngazi can be made for you.

    HIT THE ROAD. If youre driving to the Wild Coast from

    the Cape, get yourselves onto the N2 North, which runs directly

    through Umtata. In central Umtata, look out for the intersection

    with a sign for the Port St Johns road; its hard to miss. Then youll

    have a beautiful 90km drive 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 past herds of cattle

    and friendly locals. If youre visiting us from Gauteng or Free

    State, pass Kokstad, drive for 15km and turn left onto the

    R61 towards Port St Johns. Once youre here, you will feel

    miles away from the rest of the world.
