Phola Moya – A Majestic Coastal Sanctuary

Nestled atop a commanding hill in Munster, Glenmore, on the lower South Coast of KwaZulu-Natal, Phola Moya is a rare and remarkable estate spanning 27,706m² (2.77ha). Steeped in history, this estate has been meticulously maintained by one of the region’s oldest families, ensuring its enduring elegance and structural integrity.
