The village of Mtunzini is a conservancy and in Zulu the name translates to " place in the shade" . We are fortunate to be surrounded with Coastal dune forests (Narina Trogan, Green barbet), wetland (African finfoot), mangrove swamps (mangrove kingfisher), grasslands ( black coucal is found here), Raphias (Palm nut vulture) and the sea an its sandy shores. A birders paradise with an abundance of lifers. One on Hely offers special birding packages for groups and we can arrange a Bird Life SA birding guide to suit your needs; be that of a bespoke canoe or bicycle birding tour or by vehicle and by foot, these options are all available in Mtunzini. We also offer packed breakfasts or late breakfasts, tailed to meet your need and diet (vegan/halal catered for on request). One on Hely itself has an vast indigenous garden and is frequented by the Trumpeter hornbill every morning and evening, the Brown hooded kingfisher, Purple crested turaco, African green pigeon, Purple banded, Grey, Olive, Collared and Scarlet chested sunbirds, the Palm nut vulture and even pelicans that roost in the trees lining Hely Hutchison street are all seen from the comfort of our balconies regularly.
