Dolphin View Cabanas

You stay at Dolphin View Cabanas in self-catering apartments with patios, thirty kilometres north of Durban. The resort sits near Umdloti Beach, separated from the sand by a small road. Some apartments face the Indian Ocean.

The units have kitchens, fridges, microwaves and ceiling fans. Each has a bathroom with a shower and bath, and a lounge area with selected DStv channels. Covered parking is provided, and free WiFi runs through the resort.

A communal braai area stands outside, and the beach is a short walk away. The resort has a swimming pool, a games room with table tennis and table soccer, and a playground for children. Daily entertainment and kids' activities run in season.

Umdloti Beach is the reason the resort is here. The sand stretches north and south, and the water stays warm most of the year.
