About Crooked Tree Cottage

  • Bed & Breakfast Room
    Enjoy a cozy breakfast in the morning
  • Freebies
    This stay includes Wi-Fi and Parking for free
Crooked Tree Cottage offers Bed & Breakfast or self-catering accommodation close to Umhlanga's beaches and a short drive from Durban and its famous Golden Mile. This intimate establishment consists of 3 bed & breakfast rooms and 3 self-catering units. The wonderfully “crooked” tree provides restful, cooling shade on hot summer days and loses its leaves in the winter making the garden even more spectacular. The sea views from the balconies are magnificent and the bird life is a joy to watch. Monkeys are almost daily visitors and the occasional stork can be spotted in the branches. The friendly, multi-lingual Crooked Tree Cottage hosts pride themselves on creating a relaxed atmosphere and providing personal service that delights their guests.
