Summer Fun in Umhlanga - December 2016

Anchor's Rest - Award-Winning accommodation in Umhlanga!
The indigo velvet curtain of pre-dawn sky ruffles - just slightly - as long, golden fingers reach beneath, stirring the dawn. Like a languid hand, all flame-enrobed, the sun pries the sleep eyes of dawn wide open, and paints the morning with all the sweet and varied hues of a newborn day.
4AM has barely marked its passing, yet the splendour of sunrise has already announced the fact that morning is here.
Awake! The sun and sea and sand and sky and all the happy seabirds urge. It’s time to play!
This is Umhlanga in the summer. It’s the finest place on earth to be … and it’s the perfect place for your next getaway.
This December sees our annual Umhlanga Rocks Summer Festival draw happy crowds of holidaymakers and adventure seekers to our sun-kissed shore. We’re especially proud of this popular event, since it’s the brainchild of Anchor’s Rest’s very own Peter Rose!

Surfers & Gorgeous Models Come Together in Umhlanga Rocks

The party starts on December 10th on the Umhlanga Rocks Main Beach. The 10th and 11th both see surfers from all over South Africa flying in for a chance to win a portion of the R50 000 total prize and product money on offer in the various divisions at the Lizzard Hurricane Summer Surf.
