Suite 1 is often referred to as the "Honeymoon Suite" as it is private and spacious where you can relax in the lounge area, or on the private patio enjoying the abundant bird life in the indigenous trees.

Honeymoon couples are welcomed to Anchor's Rest with a complimentary cold bottle of sparkling wine and a box of chocolates.

This suite has a large corner bath and shower, which is ideal for a long, luxurious soak!

There is a private covered patio, which is ideal for outdoor living. Situated in the garden away from other guest rooms, you have the feeling of being in a private garden apartment.

In the evening barbecue under the stars, dine al-fresco in the garden, or take a walk into Umhlanga to enjoy the excellent cuisine of many fine restaurants.
