THE BEACH VILLAS

Mkambati Matters has been awarded the exclusive right to build ten private beach villas and a 30-bedded luxury beach lodge within the Mkambathi Nature Reserve. The twin beneficiaries of this partnership will be our host community and the reserve itself.

Beach villas will be around 450 m2 to 500 m2 in size with a choice of three, four or five bedrooms right on the coastline in a safe and secure environment within this proclaimed provincial Nature Reserve – a first for South Africa. Each single-storey villa will be constructed on the buyer’s chosen site in accordance with the environmentally harmonious architectural design, style and theme. Each beach villa will be located on over a hectare of prime coastal property.

Each parcel of land will be landscaped to ensure unobstructed views, privacy and exclusivity. Only the latest best green technologies will be installed to ensure that the impacts are minimised whilst delivering all the 220V electricity, water, services and facilities that a five star establishment demands.

These villas have been designed by well known and respected Durban architect Lisa Rorich with Kate Moffat from Hint Interiors designing the interiors. Both have been holidaying along the Wild Coast since their childhood days and understand the climate, terrain and “sense of place”. Each villa will have a number of indoor and outdoor venues and entertainment areas to suit all seasons and weather conditions. Each villa will be fully self-contained with its own kitchen, scullery, laundry, stores and an additional bedroom for your domestic or beach lodge service staff when the villa is rented out (if the villa buyer elects to be part of the beach lodge’s rental pool.)

Villa buyers have the option to enter into an optional agreement with the beach lodge to place their villa into an income-earning rental pool for when the owner is not in residence. Full rental pool participants will not have to lay out money for levies as they will be accrued by the hotel through the rental revenues earned from visiting tourists.
