2209 Oceans Apartment - by Stay in Umhlanga

My wife and I spent a few nights in Umhlanga and it was exactly the break we needed. The location made it easy — morning walks along the promenade, coffee with a sea view, and the beach right there when we wanted to slow down. The room was clean, comfortable and quiet enough that we actually slept well. Staff were warm and helpful without hovering. We had dinner nearby most evenings and never felt we had to go far for a good meal. What we enjoyed most was how easy it felt to be together: no rushing, no fuss, just time by the water. We would book here again without hesitation.

all was liked

The kitchen had a great espresso machine and was fully equipped, tastefully designed and furnished but good location, convenient to walk to beach and restaurants

Can get noisy, not much security, easy access for people off the street to get to the apartment

Great location. Easy walking distance with shops,restaurants and the beach. Great views from the apartment. It’s well decorated. Beds and bedding were comfortable. WiFi was good.

The noise from the road can be annoying. The apartment while on the 22nd floor does not have double glazing and the noise from the late night racing drivers and the early morning taxis is noticeable, not unbearable, if you are used to the sounds of a bustling city at night it won’t bother you. It would have been nice to have a starter pack of few coffee capsules, salt and pepper and water and washing machine liquid. We ended up running to Checkers to get the basic necessities before it closed. The previous two apartments we stayed at offered these small basics. Bring body wash too!!

It was a lovely week and thoroughly enjoyed the balcony most of all.

I liked everything.
