Description

The resorts of Doonside and Warner Beach lie just south of Amanzimtoti on the Kwa-Zulu Natal South Coast.

Situated on opposite sides of the Little Manzimitoti River the towns share a protected swimming area near the river mouth. A magnificent Tidal Pool nestles in the rocks next to the lagoon. The pool is washed by the tide twice a day and the sea life in the pool is a young divers dream. The bottom of the pool is sand so painful cuts are avoided.

The name Doonside originated when a railway siding was built close to a house named Lorna Doone, after the heroine of the famous novel by R. D. Blackmore.

Doonside Holiday Flats faces southwards and overlooks the Little Manzimtoti river lagoon and Warnerdoone beach to the south. Foliage on the river banks of the lagoon provides an abundance of bird life and shield the flats from the south-easterly winds.

The beach is a short walk of sixty metres from the Flats and is perfect for all types of beach and watersports. The shark nets are maintained by the Natal Sharks Board and we regularly host surfing and life saver championship competitions on the beach.

Baggies Restaurant overlooks the beach and they sell Hamburgers, Toasted Sandwiches, Cool Drinks, Milkshakes etc. Because of the restaurant this beach is slowly becoming known as Baggies Beach.

Members of Warner Beach Ski Boat Club launch their boats from the beach near the rocks. Some of the skippers conduct fishing charters for a nominal fee and a good catch is normally guaranteed.

Fishing from the rocks and the beach is very popular with the locals and tourists alike and some large fish have been caught in this area. A very well equipped fishing tackle shop is located near Baggies Restaurant.

We do our best to keep our rates reasonable while providing a high degree of service and home from home living. The area is peaceful and the flats are well suited to family groups and business people alike.
