Umhlanga is a Treat

Q: I want to take middle-aged relatives of mine from Canada to one of our coastal hotels for a few nights in October. As they have travelled extensively, I would like you to recommend a hotel of international standard, preferably in KwaZulu Natal. Other requirements are that it should have excellent sea views and be located on a good swimming beach. What is our best bet? - Nancy Edlington

A: Look no further than the grand old dames of Umhlanga Rocks for your beach treat. The Beverly Hills Hotel, one of Sol Kerzner's earliest creations, has long been the epitome of elegance and has reigned supreme in Umhlanga for decades (www.southernsun.com). Right next door, the Oyster Box Hotel has been redeveloped from an old colonial charmer into a splendid first-class resort echoing with traditions and style (www.oysterboxhotel.com). Both are excellent hotels and your friends are unlikely to be disappointed with either. (9 May 2010)
