Umzumbe Surf House

A really wonderful and special place to relax and unwind. The cabins are super awesome with easy access the the beach. The hosts were really accommodating friendly and offered awesome activities including yoga and surfing for all levels.

This was our second time staying with Nick & Mari at Umzumbe surf camp. Every time it's been so special from getting woken up by the bright beautiful rays of the sun shinning through the curtains, to sitting up in the treehouse, watching the waves break out front on the rocks. Everything about this place is magical and I would highly recommend that everyone stays there at least once in their lifetime. The rooms are great and the beds are comfortable and the whole place just feels warm and cozy just like home. Thanks for an amazing time guys! We hope to see you again next year!

This place is an absolute gem! Nestled by the sea, it offers a chance to reconnect with nature and leave behind the hustle of daily life. There’s a grounding energy here, a reminder of life’s simple joys and the beauty of the natural world. We stayed in the sea-facing cottage, which was perfectly equipped and incredibly comfortable. It’s the kind of place where you can unwind, free from any pretenses—just pure relaxation. Some might be concerned about local geckos, but we found them to be a delightful part of the experience. One or two make an appearance, keeping the odd mosquito at bay. It’s all part of the natural balance here, a small reminder that nature isn’t something to fear but to appreciate. You’re truly paying for the experience and the unbeatable location. Everything you need is right here, and Woolies Dash even delivers if you want added convenience. There’s no need to go anywhere else—dolphin sightings, fishing, and beachcombing are just a few steps away. October weather was comfortable, and we didn’t miss having aircon.. If you’re looking for luxury amenities like air conditioning, TVs, and room service, a high-rise hotel may be a better fit. But if you want to destress and enjoy an authentic seaside retreat, this is the place to be. It’s serene, laid-back, and perfect for those who prefer a peaceful escape. October was delightfully quiet, but for those wanting extra solitude, it’s worth checking availability during busier months like December when campers and beach house guests might also be around. Thank you to our hosts!

This place is amazing. It’s like having the ocean as your next door neighbour. Being woken up the sound of waves and going to sleep to it. A 10/10.

Umzumbe Surf Camp is the place where you go to find the 'backpacker' that all of us have in us. The urge to find a place to escape the b*llshit in our fast lives and go back to basics. Chill, surf, meet new people and relax. Amazing hosts who give a sh*t about your experience

If I could rate a 6 out of 5 I would have!!! The location is excellent, a few meters from the beach. The hosts are AMAZING in every way. The accommodation itself was top notch, very comfortable bed, clean beach hut, with everything and more one might need. Will 100% visit again, in fact alreay planning our next trip out there!
