House Rules To try and keep everyone safe and happy, please take note of some of our important House Rules: The speed limit in the resort is 10km/hr. Please respect the 10:30 pm noise restriction - Loud music is not much fun when you are not at the party. No fireworks are allowed. Nearly all of our houses are made of wood and this could go horribly wrong. No children under the age of 18 are allowed to ride a quad bike. (Please note that this is Mozambiquean law, not our rules). No littering. We know this sounds really obvious, but you would be amazed, and we would really appreciate it if you removed two pieces of rubbish from the beach each time you go. No unattended open fires. Yip, we already said it, the houses are made of wood and we don't want to light up the sky. There is a fish cleaning/gutting station near security. Please use this area so we can contain the smell and keep it clean so you don't get a fly in your drink. For security reasons, all casual labor must be sourced via the Mar Azul Manager. No access card, no entry. Guests must advise Security in advance of any visitors. If their name is not at Security, they will not be allowed access. Abuse of the Security staff will absolutely not be tolerated. They are here to look after us, so please treat them with respect. Thank you - we hope you have a wonderful holiday with us.

The house is even better than on the photos. It was frustrating to stay only one week-end there. The house is very weel equiped, spacious and very confortable.
And it is at 3 minutes from the sea, so very convenient for the kids !
Consultant Review:
I didn't received any email confirmation when I made the booking so I could not confirm by myself if I properly performed the booking. (Could be a one time issue since it was the forst time I made a reservation).
Then, it is not possible to use a european or non-south african mastercard to make the breakage deposit. Not convenient. I finally used a Visa card and got back my deposit withing 3 days.
Nevertheless, people from Gobundu are very responsive. Thanks to them.
Things to improve:
Improve the website to make the booking and solve the problem with non-south african credit card to make the deposit.
Amazing place for a large group of people. Very happy with our stay. The pictures are exactly as the place is. The house had everything one could want. All the furniture in the house was top notch. The kitchen also had everything you could desire. This place is def made for large groups. Our group was 17 people but the house could easily sleep 24 people. Will def stay at Mar Azul 16 again.
Consultant Review:
Communications with Carlin was seemless. Very easy and efficient.
Things to improve:
The only minor thing I wish the place had was some plastic plates and cups for clumsy kids. There were a lot of real plates and bowls, and such which was great, but we had 9 kids in our group and were constantly worried that they would drop a glass or plate and have broken shards on the ground. I think also providing a proper map to the place would be good since Ponta Malongane is pretty remote. The directions were good, but nothing beats a good visual map. Also, house 16 is not clearly marked in the estate. Would be nice to put a number on the house somewhere visible. Also would be nice if there were some outdoor furniture on the top veranda. Would have been nice if there was some furniture there so we could hang out on the top veranda a bit. But these are all minor. The place was great and we had a wonderful holiday.
Awesome place for the holidays . Has everything you need and its clean
Really enjoyed our stay - 18 people in all, we were very comfortable and the accommodation was very spacious. The staff were fabulous - friendly and nothing was too much trouble! It was just unlucky at the time that the main en suite shower was not working. Bathrooms need bins and a new grater would be good in the kitchen! A few grumbles about the wine glasses being too small but we just used the picnic glasses. Loved the large fridges and freezers. Definitely a recommended venue for large groups. We would love to go back!
We had a brilliant holiday.A perfect home for five families. We loved the position of the home and the staff were very willing and helpful. The only negative is the woven furniture outside is in need of replacement. Thank you for recommending Mar Azul 16 we would definitely go there again.
We guarantee the lowest rates! Hassle-free payment options
