Its idyllic location on the banks of a lagoon and stylish yet relaxed decor make this KZN house the perfect place in which to unwind.

A Place In The Sun

The London-based owners of this KZN holiday home weren’t looking to buy a house but when they came across this gem in the seaside town of Zinkwazi, it was love at first sight. “As soon as we walked in, we could feel the sense of tranquillity,” they recall. “Our youngest daughter said it was a magical house with lots of fairy dust. We leaped at the opportunity to buy it for holidays and so that our daughters could get to know their African heritage.”
