Irene, our KZN assessor, has once again been scouting for local places to recommend to those living in or visiting her neck of the woods. Today she tells us about Hybrid Living in Umhlali.
Irene says:
"Hello from a very hot and humid KwaZulu Natal.
I’ve discovered this wonderful lifestyle centre I just have to share with everyone. I am going to buy my plants and go for a manicure there in future and tell as many people as I can about it!
Cara and Brad are a lovely couple - he is an Aussie and has fallen in love with South Africa and the North Coast of KZN.
Herewith, the details from Cara"

HYBRID LIVING
Hybrid Living is a new, upmarket lifestyle centre comprising
- a garden centre
- a homeware shop
- a café and deli serving delicious breakfasts, lunches, tea/coffee & cakes
- a children's clothing boutique
- an organic produce shop.
A highlight is the Manicure and Pedicure station situated on the deck....sip on a Pimms while you admire the view and have your nails done!

And most importantly a magical children's playground with a castle to let little imaginations run wild...all while Mum and Dad enjoy a meal and a stroll through the garden centre.
We also offer a venue for children's parties and private venue for big people too!
Hybrid Living is owned and managed by the local Coughlan family who have built the business over the last 20 years.
