The Oceanfront wedding venue, Ansteys Beach
The Oceanfront is a beach-facing function venue at Ansteys Beach on the Bluff — in-town Durban, not Umhlanga. The main hall is published at up to 300 guests; a rooftop space handles smaller receptions. Published main-hall hire starts at R12,000.
Use it on a Durban beach shortlist when guests should stay south of the harbour. Compare with Palm Dune (Ballito lodge) and Radisson Blu Umhlanga (North Coast hotel ballroom). Garden / Hillary listings sit on the outdoor-garden page.
