This place never ceases to amaze me. The surroundings, the incredible value and don't forget the spa. I work with hotels on a daily basis and I can honestly say that this place is one of the best run establishments I've ever come across. Its really like one of those places you remember as a kid.

We've been twice to Umngazi with our two boys (aged between 4-8years) and found plenty to do for everyone, but also the space to feel calm even when the resort is full. We enjoy the rooms which are large enough to spend time away from the world if this suits the weather or your frame of mind. The rooms are... More

Our first time at Umngazi and wish we had tried it sooner! Really incredible place, fantastic for kids (babies to teenagers) and best holiday for mom and dad in years! Dads take your mountain bike for some great cycling, and moms a visit to the spa a must!! Our kids just loved paddling in the spotless lagoon while catching crabs... More

Umngazi is one of the few holiday places where the mother (aka known as cook / bottle washer / chief nappy changer and main tidy-upper) has a holiday too. There is no cooking, there is no cleaning and there is help with... More
