Sea Breeze Shelly Beach

Shelly Beach gave this Margate property its name and its trade: a stretch of KwaZulu-Natal coast built for holidaymakers who cook their own meals and spend afternoons by the water. Sea Breeze Shelly Beach sits close enough to the sand to make that walk routine, with the Shelly Centre's shops and restaurants close by. The property holds four room types. Two standard studios take a double or king bed convertible to twins, each with an en-suite shower, TV, bar fridge, microwave and tea and coffee facilities. An apartment adds a queen bed and sofa bed, a full kitchen and a private balcony with a partial sea view. The family suite runs to two bedrooms and one bathroom, sleeping up to seven across two double beds and a sofa bed, with its own kitchen and direct access to the shared patio and pool. All units open onto or near a communal pool and a covered braai area. Wi-Fi is free throughout, and parking is secured and free. Uvongo Beach lies 3 km off; Margate Main Beach and its Olympic pool are 7 km further. It is a straightforward base, self-catering by design, aimed at families and couples who want the coast within reach and dinner in their own kitchen.
