Riverbend Chalets & Campsite is situated in Umtentweni on the Lower South Coast in KwaZulu-Natal which is a popular tourist destination.

We are about 1-11/2hours drive south of Durban.

We are also situated on the Umtentweni River, which is about 2km up river from the ocean where we are fortunate to be surrounded by indigenous bush and forest that attracts abundant bird and small wildlife. You can paddle to the sea in one of our available for hire canadian style canoes as well when the river is full.

We cater for holidaymakers and travellers who are looking for accommodation in central but tranquil surroundings.

We offer a choice of self-catering accommodation as well as a campsite option whereby caravanning sites are also available.

Our self-catering accommodation option offers 3 x delightful & spacious wooden houses as well as the option of a 2 bedroom cottage and a  single bedroom

All the self-catering units are free standing and pet friendly.

The campsite is also pet friendly.

We are close to all amenities which include a KwikSpar &  Liquor store,  and Pharmacy. We are surrounded by many restaurants and pubs in the vicinity.

Port Shepstone – 5km distance away, is our local business center and has most of the facilities and shops that a visiting tourist would require.

Umtentweni and Southport beaches are our closest swimming beaches and are manned by lifeguards.  Shad  Lane beach access is recommended if you wish to give your dogs a beach walk. 

We look forward to your visit !!
