The house
The former Port Master's House
Originally built in the late 1880s as the Port Master's House, Eagle's Roost has watched over the Umzimkulu River, coastline and Indian Ocean for well over a century.
Today this beautifully restored heritage home offers guests history, comfort and sweeping views of the ocean, river valley and lush South Coast landscape — nestled among indigenous trees and abundant birdlife.
