Coastal forest. Banana leaves. Total calm.

Banana Bungalow

Nestled in the coastal forest among the banana trees, the Banana Bungalow is our Indo-style hideaway with room for up to four. Private, peaceful and just a short wander from the beach, it's the ideal spot to slip away after a long beach day.

Slip away to the forest

After a long day on the beach, there's no better place to land. Tucked among the banana trees in the coastal forest, the Banana Bungalow is all dappled light, birdsong and a fresh sea breeze drifting up from the shore.

The Banana Bungalow has everything you need to settle in: a fully equipped kitchenette, a private bathroom with an outdoor shower and your own grill for evening braais. With reliable fibre WiFi, you can work from here too, if you really have to.

It's ideal for couples, small groups and travelling professionals who want a little more privacy without missing out on the Umzumbe vibe.

Your own space, your own pace

Spend your days between the beach and your own private retreat. Cook your own meals, rinse off under open skies and unwind in a space that feels entirely yours. It's quiet when you want it to be, and connected when you need it.
