Who we are

A better way to holiday.

Coastal Preferred Escapes is a new kind of family holiday membership, started at Cabana Mio on Beach Road, Amanzimtoti, by the team who look after its holiday duplexes.

Neil's idea

The same beach, every year.

Cabana Mio has fifteen units. Eight are timeshare units, and seven are holiday duplexes managed by Neil Oberholzer. Coastal Preferred Escapes offers memberships for those seven duplexes.

Neil's idea is simple: families who love coming back to the same beach shouldn't need a lifetime contract to do it. So the membership is finite and honest: five holidays over five years, one fixed monthly amount, every price published in full, and then it ends.
