Overlooking the hugely successful Gateway Shopping and Entertainment Complex, the 168-room City Lodge Umhlanga Ridge is a favourite accommodation venue for business travellers and for those seeking fun in the Kwazulu-Natal sun. Close to everything one needs in the area, and just a short drive down to the beach, this hotel has underground parking, wireless internet throughout, a relaxing outdoor area and swimming pool, a spacious boardroom, and a coffee shop. Also within a stone’s throw is the local hospital and regional head offices of many national companies. Access to the new King Shaka International airport is excellent as is accessibility to the north and south freeways, providing accessibility to everything else that the province has to offer.
