Umdoni

Umdoni Downs

Umdoni is the local Xhosa name for the evergreen and exotic Syzygium Cordatum tree, as seen in Umdoni Down's logo. This tree boasts numerous fragrant white-to-pink fluffy stamens that produce abundant nectar in spring for the birdlife and insects in the immediate area. The tree changes character in autumn, where the plentiful clusters of water-berries can be seen.


The property

Our house

Our property is located in the central ring of the estate, at numbers 51/52, overlooking the abundant vegetation of the area and the ocean. It has access on one side to the residential road and on the other to the common green area. The house, of solid construction and very generous spaces, with braai facilities, is surrounded by a large garden with flowers, bushes and trees. The ideal place for spending time in tranquillity, by yourself, with relatives, friends and… dogs.
