Africa Deluxe Tours Southbroom & Golf Course

Southbroom

Southbroom is a small, upmarket, coastal town on the Hibiscus Coast - part of the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast in South Africa. It is flanked by the Mbizane and Kaba Rivers with ±4km (±2.5mi) of mostly sandy coastline.

The town’s Main Beach, a sandy beach at the closed mouth of the Mbizane Lagoon is complemented by grass embankments with braai (barbeque) facilities, as well as The Riptide Restaurant. There’s a tidal pool on the edge of the beach and a second just around the corner known as Granny’s Pool. The lagoon and tidal pools provide safe bathing for children. The lagoon is also a popular spot for leisure canoeing and sailing. Southbroom’s secondary beach, Umkobi, is a bit more ‘wild’ and features thick coastal vegetation. It’s also the location of another lagoon-side restaurant with views - The Trattoria.

In addition to the superb private San Lameer Golf Estate, directly south of Southbroom, the town is home to the beautiful Southbroom Golf Course. The Club welcomes visitors. Wedged between a section of the golf course and the sea is the Frederika Nature Reserve, a South African Natural Heritage Site. It’s a small but pristine example of South African dune forest (8ha).

Southbroom is well placed to explore the South Coast to the north, as well as being a gateway to the upper reaches of the Wild Coast to the south. Towards the interior a stand-out attractions is the magnificent Oribi Gorge, which can be accessed ±50km (±30mi) out of town.
