Positioned at the heart of Umhlanga, with proximity to both Gateway and central to the prime business and real estate. Phase one of the apartments is 40 apartment units starting from R1.75 million with no transfer duty. The location of the apartment is also quite convenient for walking, situated near Park Square and restaurants. The location is also five minutes away from Umhlanga Beach.

“This is the epitome of a lifestyle investment where your apartment is taken care of by the Radisson Hotel Group,” said Avoca Developments cofounder Chris Horn to BusinessTech.
