Pumula Beach Hotel Holiday : 21 October - 25 October 2005

Whilst in SA, I was so excited to spend 5 nights away with my folks, my brother Murray, his wife Karrie and my darling nephew, Guy at the Pumula Beach Hotel which is down the south coast about 1 hr drive from Durban at a place called Umzumbe. It is a 3 star hotel, but being a guest there makes you feel like it is a 5 start resort ... with games rooms, a beautiful pool, 18 hole mini-golf course, jungle gyms, volleyball court and a step away from a pristine Natal coast beach ... it is paradise discovered!

Views from the Hotel ...



Umzumbe Beach ...



Little man ... having a ball of a time in the kids play room and on the beach ...






I love my mummy ... Karrie & Guy



Whale sighting ... a pod of whales swam past the hotel every day and we were privileged to see them breaching and playing around ... what a treat!










We also saw heaps of dolphins ...



Some catching waves ...



And on the beach, we watched a Yellow Billed Kite catch what looked like a rat or a puffer fish ??




We had one day which wasn't really beach weather so we headed up to Oribi Gorge for the morning and had a look around the countryside with a coffee break where Guy played on a jungle gym and Pops just about fainted from the merry-go-round much to the amusement of us all !!
