Holiday accommodation owner site we built
Mar n Sol
Mar n Sol lets six holiday stays on the KZN South Coast: a 10-sleeper, four-bedroom beach villa in Palm Beach with 180-degree sea views and a pool, a Palm Beach log cabin, a Greenheart Estate log cabin 300 metres from the sea with a whale deck, a six-sleeper semi log cabin, a four-sleeper self-catering apartment and Peace Cottage in Uvongo. Each stay has its own card with how many it sleeps, its pet rule and an Enquire button. The villa shows its rates per night, R3,250 out of season and R4,450 in season, plus a R2,000 refundable breakage deposit. It also lists things to do nearby, like the Wild Coast Sun and Mpenjati Lagoon, and guests WhatsApp 065 608 6374 to book.
