Luxury Ballito home in Simbithi with Jacuzzi

ChrisRating, 5 stars66 months ago
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.

NOMAX BEACH HOUSE. Ballito/Chakas Rock-beachfront

JonathanRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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

Forest View - Tranquil & Luxury Home in Simbithi

ReneilweRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Mel’s place is beautiful and open. It’s great for kids as well. The beautiful and aesthetically pleasing home is also child friendly. Mel also has Nompilo who is there to help us with anything we needed and to ensure the place is clean. Having someone there made it easy for us if we had any questions. The driveway is steep so you need to be confident when driving there. The estate is beautiful and has lots of things to do for when traveling with kids. We really enjoyed ourselves there. Thanks Mel and family ❤️❤️❤️

KarinRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We didn't get to meet Henno, and the person who was going to meet us was busy and sent someone else instead. The parking is difficult to get into. Thank goodness we had a small car. The accommodation is beautiful. Lovely views of the harbour and canals. We had DSTV so we could watch the rugby. The kitchen had a good selection of appliances. Bathrooms were clean. Loved the lounge suite and blankets on the couches were were cosy.

Ocean Dune Sibaya

DianeRating, 5 stars4 days ago
We so enjoyed staying in the apartment. It has the most beautiful view, and is more spacious than the pictures show. Very clean, and had everything we needed. Shivek was responsive and helpful in answering my questions. We are greeted with the most generous basket of goodies. The size of the balcony was unexpected and was so wonderful to have our meals outside, also the area was surprisingly quiet. Security to the apartment was very good (once you got your biometrics sorted). Grocery shopping is right there and that worked well for us. I would recommend this apartment!!!
