Umhlanga Beach Mews

  • Moderate

This is one of the older and, from the outside, less attractive beach front blocks in Umhlanga. The term 'mews' is misleading - it is a large tower block. It does not, however, have the 'glitzy' family resort feel that many of the other complexes on Lagoon Drive exude. The Beach Mews has direct beach access, a prime location and excellent sea views. The apartments are large, with a TV and are fully serviced. There is a swimming pool, covered parking and also a babysitting service.
