Memories for a lifetime
The holidays they'll tell their own children about.
Their first wave over their toes. The crab in the rock pool. Ice cream for supper on the last night. These years go by quickly, and you only get them once.
Sound familiar?
Family holidays shouldn't be this hard.
A big lump sum, every year
Paying for a whole week up front, just when school fees and Christmas land.
Prices you can't plan for
Holiday prices change every year, and you only find out what this year's week costs when you book.
School holidays book out
By the time you've saved up, the good places are full.
Hours of searching
Comparing listings at night and wondering if the photos are real.
Extras on top
Cleaning fees, deposits and surprises on top of the advertised price.
"Is it right for small children?"
Unknown places, busy roads, and no idea how far the beach really is.
There's an easier way to give your children the beach.
Never search for a holiday again
One fixed monthly payment. Five holidays sorted.
Spread the cost of five family beach holidays into one fixed monthly instalment over 60 months. No interest, no joining fee, no extra accommodation or membership charges, and a holiday week to look forward to every year.

Made for little ones
Easy for parents. Magic for kids.
A path to the beach
A sandy path through the coastal bush takes you down to the sand.
A whole duplex to yourselves
Self-catering, with your own kitchen and space for nap times.
Your own braai
Supper outside while the children play.
Warm water, all year
The Indian Ocean on the KZN South Coast stays mild, even in winter.
A small, friendly complex
Just seven duplexes, so it never feels crowded.
Close to Durban
A short drive south of Durban: easy for little travellers.
Your home for the week
Seven duplexes behind the dunes.
Cabana Mio is a small, relaxed complex on Beach Road, Amanzimtoti, less than 100 m from the beach. Each three-bedroom duplex has two storeys: a main bedroom with its own balcony, a bathroom and a separate shower, a separate toilet upstairs and another downstairs, a lounge, dining room, kitchen and a patio with a private braai. Amanzimtoti’s main lifeguard beach and Splash Water World are within walking distance.
See it before you come
Two minutes at Cabana Mio.
Fly over the duplexes, walk the bush path to the sand, and look inside: the kitchen, the lounge and the bedrooms your family would use.
Beyond the beach
A week on the South Coast.
Rock pools in the morning, a day at the aquarium, a game drive on a rainy day. There's always something new.
Little legs, short drives
Days out that end before nap time.
The beach is a short walk from your door. Most of the family favourites below are under half an hour by car, so a day out never means a day in the car.

Warm water for little feet
Every package has its own kind of beach week.
The Indian Ocean off Amanzimtoti stays warm enough for paddling all year. Here is the sea and the sunshine in each colour of week.

Choose your preferred week
Not the same week every year: each year choose any Friday your package can book. A holiday week every year is guaranteed; we confirm yours in writing, subject to availability.
No lump sum
Spread the cost of five family holidays instead of finding a whole week's payment in one go each year.

Your annual beach holiday, guaranteed.
Choose your preferred holiday week each year, subject to availability. Coastal Preferred Escapes guarantees every member a holiday week annually and never double-sells: we will never sell more memberships than the holiday weeks under our control.
No double-selling. No accommodation price shocks.

Good questions
Before you join.
Is this timeshare?
No. You don't buy or own anything. You pay a fixed monthly amount for five holiday weeks over five years. There are no levies, nothing to resell, and the membership simply ends after five years.
How much does it cost?
Coastal Escape R1,070/month (R64,200) · Preferred Escape R1,225/month (R73,500) · Premier Escape R1,410/month (R84,600). That's 60 interest-free monthly instalments with no joining fee.
Can we choose our week?
Yes. Choose any available Friday-to-Friday week your package can book: Premier Escape can book Red, White or Blue weeks; Preferred Escape can book White or Blue; Coastal Escape can book Blue. High-season weeks (16 December to 3 January, Easter, and the start of the July school holidays) are not available.
What if we can't go one year?
You can carry one unused annual holiday forward within your five-year membership, subject to availability.
Are there any extra costs?
No. The published price includes your five holiday weeks with no additional accommodation or membership fees. Any optional extras are always explained before you buy them.
Not sure yet?
Try a weekend first.
Book a short stay at Cabana Mio, walk the beach path, and see if it feels like your family's place. Then join when you're ready.
