Ocean's Paradise, Anerley, South Coast, KwaZulu Natal, South Africa

Visited in: January 2019 

Great for a budget holiday where you will be using the facilities just to cook and sleep. The unit has 3 bedrooms - double bed, bunk beds and a single bed. There is also a "sleeper couch" in the lounge although this is held up by a brick so exercise caution.

The kitchen, while nothing to write home about, has a double sink and is sufficiently equipped for self catering.

The only thing less noteworthy than the kitchen is the bathroom with a hand held shower.

One of the best features is the garden which is beautiful and bright with a variety of colourful plants. 



The view from the small uncovered patio is lovely but unfortunately the furniture is not geared for relaxation as the benches are really hard, even with cushions. This area cannot be enjoyed if it is raining so we moved a couple of chairs to the garage so that we could still be 'outdoors' during the storm. There is however a seating area just passed the lounge that you can see the view from if you don't mind being inside.

Overall - you get what you pay for. The unit is close to the beach and has the basics you need as a base for your holiday. 

Traveller hints and tips:

* The strangest part of this place is the fact that the entire house slopes downward (this can be seen in the picture with the birdbath as well) - a definite no no if you suffer from vertigo!
* Take your own double ply toilet paper

Price:

Way less than R500 per person, especially if you travel as a family / group. 

Recommended for:

Those just looking for a place to cook and sleep and don't mind the noticeable slope.

The host/s:

We didn't meet the owner in person but he was pleasant over email.
