Nkawu Cottage
Mtunzini, or 'Place in the Shade' in Zulu, is situated 135 km from Durban on the KwaZulu-Natal North Coast. This small, friendly town is the setting for Nkawu Cottage and the home of Isabelle and Yves Peneff, a Belgian couple who left their country 19 years ago in search of tranquility and beauty. They found what they were looking for and would love to share it with you.
Mtunzini offers everything you need for an amazing getaway. There are a few shops and restaurants in town for your basic needs and many activities for you to enjoy. It also has its own nature reserve, a magnificent lagoon, breathtaking dunes and endless beaches, exactly 2,3 km from the cottage.
Nkawu Cottage is decorated with a professional touch, as Isabelle is a paint technique specialist. Attention to detail is what you can expect from this fully furnished, self-catering cottage, where everything is included for your comfort and to make sure that your stay is an enjoyable one.
The cottage features two separate air-conditioned bedrooms; one with a king-size bed and one with two single beds. there is an extra room with a bathroom/toilet attached to the cottage twith 2 single beds.The cottage has an open-plan dining, living room and entrance hall, and facilities include a TV, a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom with basin, shower/bath and separate toilet, a barbecue area with garden furniture, and secure parking.

"Superb Stay"
27 June 2007"Nkawu is a little gem. It is rare to find a self catering cottage that is modern, stylish and well-equipped - and Nkawu is one of the few. We had a delightful stay (pity it was only one night) but it is a perfect rest stop on the way to the game lodges in the north. We couldn't have been happier!"
