The gentle murmur of the Indian Ocean is a constant lullaby with Days At Sea Beach Lodge . Here, close to the city of Durban in South Africa’s “forgotten paradise”, lies a true gem. Days at Sea – a luxury accommodation with just 4 rooms, is a hideaway in the true sense of the word, a refuge for lovers of nature and fine wine. The European background of artist and photographer Dr. Guido Schoeldgen and his wife Annette, a fashion designer, is evident throughout. Clear-cut lines, refreshing pictures and sculptures with accompanying texts characterise the beachfront accommodation.
Each room is a world on its own, a masterpiece of design in exquisite shades of aqua blue. The spacious pool set over the ocean is illuminated at night. Above it are the terrace and lounge with projected images and music ranging from Pavarotti to Cafe Del Mar. The five-star boutique accommodation is surrounded by three world-class golf courses – Wildcoast, San Lameer and Southbroom’s. There are several leading game reserves, home to the “big five”, within driving distance.
Each suite is unique in design and all share these features to make your stay a pure pleasure.
