Umziki is the Zulu name for the common Reedbuck which occur on this 80ha
Natural Heritage Site (no.67) The property has been awarded this prestigious
status due to the presence of pristine sand forest habitat and associated
endemic plants and wildlife which includes the Zulu Podberry (Dialium
schlecterii), and rare Thonga Kierie (Cladestemon kirkii), the tiny Suni
antelope - (Neotragus moschatus euleunsis), the vulnerable Thonga red squirrel (
Paraxerus palliates tongensis) not to mention our amazing birding with regular
sightings of African Broadbill (Smithornis capensis) and Narina Trogon (Apalodermia
narina).
Our accommodation consists of three very comfortable thatched cottages and a
larger guesthouse.
The cottages are named:
Flatcrown: a large rondavel that can sleep five people.
Podberry: a small rondavel that sleeps two people (one double bed).
Torchwood: A square davel that also sleeps two people (one double bed)
Each cottage is fitted with a ceiling fan, well-equipped kitchenette and an
en-suite bathroom.
The guesthouse is named Umzimbeet and can sleep eight people in four separate
bedrooms; it also has a fully equipped kitchen, and a lounge and dining area
with its own braai facilities.
