From Wednesday to Sunday, 12h00 to 21h00, the elements café bar is uMhlanga’s chicest spot for gourmet café dining, cocktails, and fresh seafood with uninterrupted ocean front views.

Indian Ocean oysters can be enjoyed with seasonal and delicious dining choices and cocktails that are a taste of summer in a glass. Inspired design elements like ghost chairs, comfy couches and statement chandeliers create the mood, but it’s the views from the floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that remains the talking point.

The bar selection is as classy as the setting with premium liquor mixologist-crafted cocktails, Champagne and Cape sparkling wines alongside virgin cocktails as well as local and imported beers. The all-day dining menu is a combination of fresh seafood, beautifully presented local dishes, as well as salads, pizzas, café classics and desserts.

Celebrating an event? elements café and the mosaic terrace are available Sunday – Thursday as exclusive use venues and the perfect space to host celebrations, private dining, special occasions, or team incentives.

    We had the most amazing experience at Elements Café Bar yesterday while celebrating a belated birthday for my friend. From the moment we arrived, everything was absolutely breathtaking — the views alone are unforgettable. The atmosphere is beautiful, the staff are warm and welcoming, and the service? Truly top-tier. They went above and beyond in every way and exceeded all our expectations. The food was simply incredible — we had oysters and seafood platter honestly, it was the best seafood I’ve ever had. Every bite was fresh, flavourful, and perfectly prepared. A special shoutout to our waiter, Siso, her service was exceptional. She was attentive, engaging, and constantly checking in to make sure we were happy. Her energy made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Everything about this place was just perfect. I’ll definitely be going back. Highly, highly recommended!

    Dinner was great! We really enjoyed ourselves. The drinks could be slightly improved but amazing presentation nonetheless.
