Umzumbe Surf House

$ | 11 Green Lane Rd., Umzumbe, 4225, South Africa Fodor's Choice

As one of the first cottages built in the area over 100 years ago, this laid-back and airy white-washed beach house enjoys a prime position on the quiet coastline, and it's one of the few spots where you can walk straight from your bed onto the sandy shores in under a minute. You can rent out the entire house, which sleeps 12 in four rooms, or check into one of the cute self-catering wooden beach bungalows that share the expansive lawns, which are fringed by jungle-like banana trees and tropical swirling vines. Surf instructors, plus a selection of rental boards, are available for every level of surfer.
