Peace and quiet

This home is in a quiet area.
Thulabali is our quiet place. When we need to re-charge and spend time with our extended family, this is where we come.

Nestled in the secure eco estate of Zimbali, we love the lush indigenous coastal forest, the sound of the waves and our view of the sea. We relish in the South African twist to our home, and we hope you will enjoy it too.

PS: We share our location with birds, buck and monkeys. And occasionally an uninvited insect guest will make an appearance.

The space

The house is serviced on week days by Samantha, who will relay any requests you have regarding housekeeping.

Although I left home many years ago to pursue a career in the hospitality industry, my family still resides in South Africa. When the option to own a property in Zimbali presented itself I jumped at the opportunity. We spend Christmas at Zimbali, together with our extended family, but are happy to share our home with others during the remainder of the year. We sincerely hope you enjoy your stay.
