Umtentweni Property | South Coast

Umtentweni is an intriguing coastal village situated on KwaZulu Natal’s South Coast that lies at the mouth of the Mtentweni River.  The name comes from a species of grass that grows prolifically in the area.  Found just 2 kilometres from Port Shepstone and 10 kilometres from Shelly Beach, the position here is ideal in that it has a paradox of peaceful isolation yet is within a short drive of all the necessary amenities.

The Tweni Beach promises some of the most magnificent ocean sunrises and residents can take long, leisurely walks or swim in the surf.  The South Coast waters are well known for their abundant marine life and it’s not unusual to watch dolphins play close to shore at Umtentweni.  There is also the opportunity for whale watching, witnessing the spectacular Sardine Run or the odd passing ship in the distance.

The main beach at Umtentweni has lifeguards on duty during the holiday season and the waters are protected from sharks to make swimming and surfing safe.  There is also a paddling pool, which is perfect for toddlers who aren’t strong enough to brave the waves.  This is the kind of seaside resort that offers the escapist the ultimate in relaxation and soul therapy, making property in Umtentweni popular with those looking for a relative peace and quiet.
