Family Tides Cottage, Port Shepstone, South Coast, KwaZulu Natal, South Africa

Visited in: June 2019

The unit is comfortable and conveniently located close to the local beach however it lacks the usual charm of a beach house. This is  perhaps due to everything being grey - the tiles, the furniture, the walls, the cushions... 

Lounge

Dining tables just off the kitchen

Lovely views can be enjoyed from the covered patio and the chairs have good cushions. There is a pool and a braai however as the house is just off the road, it does not feel very private.

Patio and pool

Ideal for a family or group of friends there are 2 bathrooms (one with bath and toilet, a separate shower and a separate loo) and 4 bedrooms. Good quality beds and cotton bedding are provided and sea views can be enjoyed from 3 of the 4 bedrooms. 

 While providing comfort and the necessities for a family / group stay, the house could use a bit more warmth. 

Traveller hints and tips:

* We were advised by two locals not to venture to the beach closest to the property but instead to use the main beach which is a short walk / drive from the house.

* Take your own double ply toilet paper.

Price:

Less than R500 per person
