Exquisite 4 bed home with expansive yard and pool
Beautiful & clean place. Expect to see exactly what you see in the pictures and more. My daughter loved the pool. The trees around made it very private so you don’t have to worry about the neighbours seeing you walk around in your swimwear. Kerry is a wonderful host, clear instructions, shared info on restaurant which was great and she was quick to respond.

Our stay at Cathy and Jono’s property exceeded our expectations. Cathy kept checking in on us while we were still on the way since the weather was not so favourable. Upon arrival we were greeted with a warm welcome, she had the heater on for us and gave us a guided tour of their stunning house that is beautifully designed and very spacious. Cathy and Jono went out of their way to ensure our stay was comfortable. They were just a text/ phone call away whenever we needed something, and this truly made us feel valued as guests. Thank you for being such incredible hosts Cathy and Jono, this trip will always hold a special place in our hearts because of your warmth and hospitality. We cannot wait for our next visit!

Steps from the beach
An absolute gem, perfect for families. short walk to the beach with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Fiki the helper is lovely.

Luxury 3 Bed Villa in Setai Beach estate (8)
Great spot to be if you want to experience Zimbali has to offer. A proper inverter system would be great improvement

Tranquil family holiday home!
Wonderful stay! Pellagia, the housekeeper, was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met. The accommodation was perfect for our family, with thoughtful touches like toys, kids' plates and bowls, and board games that kept the little ones entertained. The place was spotless when we arrived, and the daily cleaning service was fantastic. The beach towels and chairs were a lovely bonus. Big thanks to Catherine for making our stay so special. We highly recommend this accommodation!

Loadshedding dream -Zimbali EstateVilla in Complex
Great open plan & spacious home! The master bedroom particularly stands out! The estate is great with a variety of places to eat and explore. Appreciated the facilities as we had a toddler so this made life a lot easier.

2 Bedroom Cottage, Sea View, Private Pool & Solar
Absolutely stunning home away from home! Ella is such an amazing host. So warm, gentle and kind. She made us feel right at home. My family and I really love the place, my son made me promise to come back so I don't have much of a choice 😊 We'll definitely be returning. The refreshments and snacks on offer are such a warm and thoughtful touch. Thanks so much for your generous hospitality Ella 😊🌟

Deluxe-suite 1 bed Guesthouse with Lounge Kitchen
We had a good stay in the place. The place is peaceful and private. Very close to waterfall mall and it was easy to purchase anything we wanted. The sleeping linen was clean and spotless

3 B/room house, Pool, WI-FI, 3 w-stations, Umbilo
It was fantastic to spend a few days on vacation with my family at Sharon's house. Sharon's husband, Mr Ronnie, was 100% present to provide all types of assistance and solutions for whatever was needed. Many thanks to the couple Sharon and Ronnie. Special thanks also to Mrs. Happy, who takes care of the house. She is very attentive and friendly. I would recommend that the other two bedrooms be equipped with air conditioning units because in the summer, Durban is quite hot and humid. Even fans could help a person have a more pleasant sleep. Thank you so much Sharon, Ronnie and Happy. We made a family, for sure. God bless you all.

Chakas Terrace 7 - Beach House
Melissa was simply theeee best!!! We at no point felt neglected, the checking in was the smoothest I’ve ever had, driving to the place, she kept checking on us, we arrived late but she stayed up until late just so she can be able to assist us check-in. The place is amazing, more beautiful in person that it even is on the pictures, the view is breathtaking!!! With the sea breeze, we walked to the beach, for less than 3 minutes, that’s how close it is to the house. My friends and I really enjoyed our stay at Melissa’s, apart from the above mentioned, Melissa has humanity and we found that gold about her! She’s not just making money from here guests but she’s considerate of them and makes sure they’re happy and convenienced.

Family home in leafy, green & quiet Kloof (Durban)
I won't be booking any other place, whenever I'm in the area again. Siya you're an amazing host, thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us! Couldn't have asked for a better experience! many thanks.

5 | Direct Beach Access | Inverter
Great location, perfect walking distance to shops and 1min away from the beach.

5 On Allen
Pieter and Phyllis, your place was just what we needed. Peaceful, very well equipped, squeaky clean, and with easy access to town, beach, and the airport. Thank you for making us feel at home. Next time we're in SA, we'll book here again.

Cheerful 2 bed home in a tranquil location in Dbn
Hello everyone 🤗 I spent 6 months in this apartment. I'm so happy that I met Nelisiwe and Sbu! I'm grateful for every day with them. Highly recommended! 1. The apartment is bigger than you can see at photos. 2. Everything is absolutely amazing: kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, lounge. 3. You have your own balcony, can drink coffee, observe the river and the ocean. 4. Every time if you will need anything, you will get it immediately. The hosts are very kind people, and always here for you, always ready to help and support. 5. Apartment is fully equipped, you will get everything and even more. Its cozy and very light. Nelisiwe, Sbu, still can't believe that I was so lucky to meet you! I wish you and your family all the best, as you totally deserve it. If there, in this world, be more people like you, the world will be such an amazing place! I'm grateful, appreciate, have amazing memories and was absolutely-absolutely-absolutely happy with you! Thank you 🙏

Seaside Retreat - Main house
Absolutely breathtaking views! I wish we could wake up to this every day. Neil, thank you so much for accommodating my family and me, especially after the sudden passing of my uncle. Your kindness in rescheduling our stay was truly appreciated and demonstrates your exceptional care for clients.

Premium house with glorious sea views
Lindy’s home was an incredible haven for our weekend away: it felt like home from the start. Immaculately clean, and with beautiful sea and forest views - it’s a tranquil refuge that we’ll certainly return to. Cannot recommend enough and we will certainly be back.

Luxurious 44 - Sovereign Sands
We had a great relaxing family weekend away in this amazing space. Wish we could have stayed longer. The short walk directly onto the beach via an access controlled gate allowed us to enjoy the beach. The private pool was put to good use on returning from the beach to get away from the wind. The house is spacious with a great layout. Our host Elsie was great. We will definitely be back!

Ultimate Privacy - 46 Sovereign Sands
We have found a new gem - Sovereign Sands in Blythedale. Away from the chaos of Ballito and surrounds, it was a breath of fresh air to be a short forest-walk away from a pristine uncrowded beach. It felt like Mozambique (beautiful quiet beaches, dune forest etc), but with the added convenience of Checkers Sixty60 delivering to the Estate. Blythedale itself is a simple town with not much to do, but The Estate is a short beach walk away from Grumpy's beach bar, which was awesome (and made us think of Mozam even more with their jugs of R&R). The accommodation was spacious, clean and comfortable, and while we wished we had a sea-view - the sounds of the ocean were awesome. The kitchen was stocked with all the usual kitchen gadgets (even a Nespresso machine) you'd need. Elsie was communicative and friendly. The Estate felt very safe & well-run. The communal pool area boasted a very large pool that the kids loved (but the adults wished that there was some comfy seating around).

Luxury Coastal Escape - Pure North Coast
Lee’s house was gorgeous and easily accommodated our large family. The bedrooms were spacious with en suite bathrooms. Loved the decor of the house. Close to the beach. Very friendly and helpful house keeper and estate guards. Lee was also very responsive throughout our week long stay.

Perfectly located home with garden and pool
The house was the most beautiful place you have ever rented. The house and furnishings were of an extremely high standard, luxurious, comfortable and every need was catered for. Beautiful entertaining area outside with swimming pool and bar. Staying in this home, was the same as staying in a luxury 5 stay hotel except it was homely, beautifully furnished and extremely spacious. l If you ever have the opportunity of staying in this beautiful home, you will not be disappointed as it exceeded all expectations.

Affordable getaway in Salt Rock
We booked our getaway at the last moment and never thought that a place like this would be available. The accommodation is homely and we felt comfortable right away. Pierre met us on arrival and showed us around and then remained unobtrusive. The surrounding area is stunningly beautiful and I took my coffee outside on the patio with cheeky monkeys and a chorus of birdsong. To add to all of this, there is a semi-private beach 400m down the road which we made full use of. Two kilometres in the other direction and you get to Ballito main beach and the World renowned Thompsons beach and tidal pools which was every bit as spectacular as you’d imagine. My only stressor was the very steep driveway that put me through my paces but besides that I’d give Pierre a 10/0.

Ballito’s Spacious, Sunny sea-view Home
This place is lovely! We really enjoyed our visit. Natasja is a responsive host and kept us up to date on everything. Martha is the sweetest housekeeper. Will definitely recommend guests to visit.
