Christine
Come and relax in our peaceful, comfortable, coastal cottage. Tastefully decorated, self-catering, equipped with everything you need while away from home with partial seaviews from the guests private garden. The cottage is located on the same property as the owner's home but is detached, spacious, and very private. Within walking distance to Scottburgh Mall, 2,5km from Scottburgh main beach, and an easy 600m walk to Mtunzi private beach and close to Scottburgh Golf Course. The neighborhood is ideal to go for a walk, run, or bike ride and is a birder's paradise. The cottage is best suited for couples, small families, or business guests.
I am available at any time if needed. You may call, message me or knock on my door.
Scottburgh South is a beautiful, peaceful neighborhood that is full of trees and lots of birdlife. It is very safe to go for walks and runs. Scottburgh has a wide variety of restaurants, coffee shops, local pubs, and plenty of activities to keep you busy such as spa's, hiking trails, boat charters, shark cage diving, Crocworld, golf, and so much more... and of course, our absolutely beautiful beach.
