84 Chakas Cove

TinusRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Lovely spot in a family oriented beach area. A short walk to a beach that is tightly controlled by security guards. The house has great views of the ocean and we appreciated the gas braai and evening views. The beach is very busy all day and can get crowded. The grounds are set up for families with kids so expect a lot of toddlers and younger teenager.

What a beautiful spot! From the moment you arrive you feel as though you can exhale. Stunning place, beautiful furniture linen and every amenity. Special touches like great coffee, milk in the fridge and just all round welcoming space. Oh but the views of the ocean!! Wow!

Beach apartment

ChristmasRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
🌟 5-Star Stay! 🌟 I had the pleasure of spending a week at Julie’s place to celebrate my PhD graduation with family, and what a perfect choice it was! 🎓✨ The apartment was exactly as shown in the pictures: spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and beautifully presented. It sits right on the beachfront, offering stunning views and easy access to a peaceful and uncrowded beach — ideal for relaxation and family bonding. One of the standout features was the regular servicing of the apartment. Julie arranged for a cleaner every second day, which kept the space fresh, tidy, and comfortable throughout our stay. This was more than just a stay — it was a beautiful, convenient space to reconnect with family, unwind, and reflect. Thank you, Julie, for your warm hospitality and for making this special week even more memorable. Highly recommended! 🙌🏽🌊🏡

Ballito Beachfront Paradise *with backup power*

AjaniRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
I HIGHLY recommend this venue. It is perfect for a small family trip. The unit is spacious, fully equipped, and even has a washer/dryer. It is just steps from the beach/boardwalk, and the host provides helpful items like beach towels and beach chairs. Just note that it’s on the top floor of the building, so pack accordingly since you’ll need to carry your bags. Loren is an excellent host, fully responsive, and so very helpful. There are multiple beachside restaurants less than a 5 minute walk from the building, and lots of rock pools and safe swimming areas along the beach. If you are looking to stay in Ballito, this is the place.
