Family-friendly vacation rentals in Blackburn

Leslie's home was great. It was in a great location and Leslie was easy to get hold of when we had question. There were a couple of minor issues that were easily sorted out, like the location of the stove switch and the keys to one of the sliding doors. The only downside, had to do with the parking - there was something that dripped from the parking ceiling onto my windscreen and bonnet and I'm struggling to remove it.

The place was great, even better than the pictures. All the amenities listed were available and so much more. It’s a dream for young kids, because of the large pool and yard space to run around. The communication was great, all our questions were answered very quickly. The place was spotless and remained so for our entire stay. It truly felt like a home away from home. Definitely recommend 10/10

Thank u Frank for having us. The place is beautiful and clean. Definitely coming back again

I cannot say enough positive things about my experience staying here. Nikki and Tom went above and beyond as air b&b hosts and truly made my experience amazing. When I landed in Durban, they picked me up from the airport and after learning that my luggage was stuck in Joburg, they took me to the store so that I could get some toiletries and food for the day. They were so patient and warm in every interaction that I had with them. When we lost water, they brought me a 5 liter jug and were extremely communicative any time we lost water or electricity. I was in Durban for two months and struggled to find people to travel with and they literally adopted me most weekends to hang out with them at their beach club. Regarding the air bnb itself, it was the perfect size for me. It is in the safest neighborhood with great restaurants and a bakery within walking distance! There's fiber internet and a washing machine. Loved this little cottage, love Nikki and Tom, and love Durban!!

Leigh’s home is wonderful, spacious and beautifully decorated. The view from the deck into the the forest was so serene and peaceful. Leigh was a perfect host. She responded promptly thought our booking. Location of the property was perfect, close to shops and lots to do in the area for families. Thuli, the housekeeper was such a help. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Leigh’s and would definitely book again.

We had never stayed in an Airbnb property before and so had no idea what to expect. However, The Lilypad surpassed anything we could have imagined. The house itself was beautiful and much bigger than it seemed in the photos and Derrick and Margi are the perfect hosts. The house is spacious and very well equipped. Even the monkeys turned up to watch us eating lunch in the garden one day. It was like a wildlife documentary in reverse! We could not believe their generosity in taking our children to the airport at 5.30am after we left! If all Airbnb properties and hosts are all like this then we are hooked.

The location, the view of the beach was exceptional, it was clean and packed up with all the essentials we needed, my family and I loved everything about the place, I highly recommend it.

Kimber and Byron were fantastic hosts, great on communication without any delay. The house was as described, the outside area was great for the kids to play. The pool safely secured with a net so kids played outside without a worry. Pool itself was nice and refreshing. We felt safe within Simbithi while still feeling we had our own private place amongst nature.

One of my best stays

Thank you, it was a lovely place to stay and so close to the beach

Our stay was exquisite ! Roelof and team were always responsive and always looking for ways to make our stay comfortable with little to no inconvenience. The ocean views were incredible and the place was conveniently located near the beach. The place is filled with all the amenities you could think of - and we would definitely stay here again . We had a lovely time and we thank the team for ensuring we had a great stay .

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, love Hajra who really takes good care of the place. Marian is always checking in and keeps us updated. This is our third stay and will be returning. Thank you Marian and Hajra.

What can I say except WOW! Started off the day watching the sun rise over the ocean while enjoys a wonderful cup of tea on the two chairs dedicated to Nono and Maxime. We could then walk down to Thompson Bay beach directly from the garden. When a day in the waves was over, a short walk up the steps to the outdoor shower by the pool for a quick dip then a quick braai on the amazing stainless steel braai by the pool. To end it all, going to sleep with the doors open listening to the waves crashing all night! And in the morning, Elizabeth was there to sort out our messy dishes and Russel washed off all the kids beach toys…. I can’t recommend the place enough and hope to be back next year. Thank you Denise and team, truly amazing trip xx

An absolute paradise! Great for all ages, we had from a toddler for the day to 85 year old mama, who all felt at home and had a wonderful time. We lived on the back porch, soaking in the sun and breeze and catching up with each other after 2 years apart. Would absolutely stay again!

Spectacular, from the location, the views, the beach access, space, and amenities, this place is heaven for those looking for a quiet, private breakaway to a pristine area just off the M4. Also close enough to Ballito for shopping. The house is perfect for families wanting to relax and enjoy the view, and really does have all you need. Debra was also an excellent host, very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely recommend!

Stephanie was extremely welcoming and open to suggestions regarding our pets when we have to leave them whilst we were attending to shooping etc. She communicated everything well and was easy to talk to. We enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again.

We had an amazing stay at this gem on the Dolphin Coast! The apartment is beautiful and perfectly located—just steps from the beach and tidal pool. The sea views are breathtaking, and we loved spending time on the verandah overlooking Chakas Rock. It’s ideal for a couple or small family, with everything you need for a relaxing, self-catering holiday. The complex is safe and quiet, with restaurants just around the corner. Highly recommended for a coastal getaway!

The apartment was very spacious and comfortable. Beautiful sea view right in front of you and easy access to local shops, restaurants, etc. Enjoyed the beach access and the long walks on the promenade. Really enjoyed our stay

Beautiful home with outstanding views of the ocean. Spacious and welcoming. Everything we needed for our family holiday.

Pictures dont do the place justice. A lovely place. Easy access to the beach, 15min walk to oceans mall and tons of restaurant's. Two tvs. No complaints

We had an absolutely fantastic stay! This unit was the perfect meeting point for our group - spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully laid out with plenty of room to relax and catch up. The lounge and dining areas were ideal for unwinding together, and we especially appreciated the brilliant BBQ facilities with enough shelter allowing us to still enjoy being outside when the weather turned. The property was also perfect for families. The front garden provided a secure space where the little ones could run around safely, while the complex’s pool and direct access to the main beach offered plenty of fun for the rest of the family. The bedrooms were generously sized and very comfortable, each with its own bathroom, which made the stay even more convenient for everyone. We highly recommend this place for family get togethers or group holidays we’ll definitely be booking again for our next family gathering!

We had a very relaxing time. The apartment is very well appointed, in a great location - quiet but close to everything - with the most amazing views from a spacious balcony.

We had an amazing time in this tastefully furnished, well kitted out home. The open plan layout and smooth flow of the house creates enough space and opportunity to use all parts of the home. The beach was so easily accessible, and the pool just as inviting. Good cleaning service and ample storage space in the kitchen, with all appliances , crockery and cutlery that one may need. We will revisit anytime. Just disappointed that it's now been changed to a minimum 3 night stay.

The place was very beautiful quiet and homely. We enjoyed our stay my son wanted to stay forever. I guess we will be going back soon.
