Accommodation

Caribbean Estates is the perfect tropical accommodation

Looking for the perfect holiday destination that offers the lush tropical nature of the Caribbean and luxurious accommodation? Then make a stop at Caribbean Estates on the KwaZulu Natal South Coast.

Situated on the southern end of the Umtamvuna River, Caribbean Estates has a magnificent selection of three, four and six-bedroom villas available for rent or purchase.

There are different unit types available for rent. The Tortuga apartments have two to three bedrooms with their own patio or balcony that overlook the sparkling swimming pool area, with undercover and open-air parking available.

The rooms at Caribbean Estates give off a tropical feeling

Guests in the mood for a braai can do so at their unit or around the pool. These apartments are also adjacent to the tennis courts, so whether you bring your own equipment or hire it out, you can enjoy a good game together.

The Antigua apartments are divided into upstairs units, which can sleep four people, and downstairs units, which can accommodate six, depending on the size of the apartment. There are only eight of these apartments and these are exclusively used for timeshare guests.

The Montego Bay apartments are divided into upstairs and downstairs units and can accommodate between six to ten people. The apartments are closer to the Umtamvuna River and have beautiful walkways that lead to the river as well as the Indian Ocean.

Explore the beautiful surroundings

There is a beautiful pool area for adults and children as well as a playground for them to have fun in.

All units are fully furnished and self-catering; each apartment is unique in style, so you won’t have the same experience if you choose a different one to stay in. The apartments are surrounded by the tropical nature of the KwaZulu Natal South Coast, and diverse entertainment in the area is a short drive away

The picturesque natural surroundings allow for nature walks where wildlife and birdlife can be spotted nearby. You can even go fishing or take a trip to the beach. However, if you are not eager to venture out, you can play on the Estate’s tennis court, swim in one of the three different swimming pools, and visit the convenience store or coffee café, while the kids play around in the playground.

The La Vita Spa is also the perfect place to release your stress and fall into total holiday mode.

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation? Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose.

Expensive is not always better. Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday. They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice. A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday.

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance. Of these, service is the most important.

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion. However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review. We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience? The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table.

Well that’s our theory anyway. It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced. However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience. In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe. It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
