Company information
Welcome! We are so happy you’re considering staying here with us at Seaview Manor Exquisite Bed and Breakfast. We genuinely love hosting and making sure every guest feels right at home.
We go out of our way to create an experience that’s equal parts relaxing, fun, and memorable. From friendly chats and a touch of humour to professional attention to detail, you’ll be well looked after. And of course, no stay is complete without a hearty, delicious breakfast to start the day.
Outside of hosting, you’ll usually find me playing tennis or squeezing in a gym session (even if I claim to be too old for it, my enthusiasm says otherwise!). I’m also an animal lover through and through. The local vervet monkeys have more or less become honorary members of the family here. They roam freely through the suburbs of La Lucia and Umhlanga and have a knack for “borrowing” the odd banana or raiding the tea and coffee station if no one’s watching. If they get a bit too mischievous, I’ve perfected the art of chasing them away with my very intimidating bubble bazooka, a tactic that’s proven highly effective (and very entertaining).
Whether you’re here to unwind, explore, or just enjoy the ocean breeze, you can count on a warm welcome and plenty of support along the way. If there’s anything you need at all during your stay, we will be right here to help with a smile.
We look forward to sharing this special place with you and making your visit a wonderful experience from start to finish.

Neighbourhood information
Nestled along the lush, subtropical coastline of KwaZulu-Natal, La Lucia is a serene and scenic residential enclave located just north of Durban and minutes from Umhlanga. Known for its all-year-round greenery, warm climate, and laid-back coastal lifestyle, La Lucia offers visitors the perfect balance between nature, relaxation, and convenience.
The region enjoys a mild subtropical climate, with warm, humid summers and pleasantly mild winters, making it an ideal year-round destination. Thanks to this favourable weather, La Lucia boasts an evergreen landscape, with flourishing gardens, dense coastal vegetation, and indigenous trees creating a sanctuary-like setting throughout the seasons.
A standout feature of the area is its abundant birdlife, from sunbirds and loeries to majestic birds of prey like the occasional Martial Eagle. Birdwatchers and nature lovers will find endless delight in the daily sights and sounds of this thriving natural ecosystem. Adding to the charm, Vervet monkeys wander freely through the trees and gardens, bringing a touch of fun, and sometimes a cheeky grin through the window and a stolen banana or two!
La Lucia is also home to beautiful, uncrowded beaches, where warm Indian Ocean waters meet soft golden sands. Whether you're enjoying a morning walk, an afternoon swim, or simply soaking in the coastal breeze, the beachfront here remains peaceful and unspoiled.
Life in La Lucia moves at a gentle, unhurried pace. While only a short drive from the commercial bustle of Umhlanga and Durban’s city centre, the area has maintained its laid-back charm, making it a favourite among both holidaymakers and locals who seek quiet luxury and natural beauty.
Whether you're here to relax, work, or explore, La Lucia invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and enjoy the tranquil rhythm of coastal living.
