Cottage by the Sea. Early check in : 8.30am
We had a wonderful stay at The Cottage. The space was comfortable with homely amenities. The morning view of the ocean and the sunrise was special. We had dolphin sightings on both days that we stayed. We also spotted beautiful birds. We would definitely come back again. Thank you Bev - you have a special spot and your attention to detail made the cottage extra comfortable.

Savannah Breeze Sea View & Escape
This was such a beautiful place, me and my friends are local travellers and this house was competing with very best accommodations we have slept at before . I love the Morden industrial decor and it instantly reminded me of Cape Town. Hossana, was very pro-active, I did not even need to send me him any texts. Beautiful place, worth every cent. Unfortunately we woke up late and we nearly missed our flight so we not able to tidy the place up the way we wanted to.

Penthouse Apartment in Simbithi Eco Estate

Shells Cozy on-the-beach Hideaway
We had an absolutely wonderful three days in Kathy’s place. The photos don’t do the place justice. The views are incredible… we chose staying in and enjoying the views over eating out. The beds and furniture are so comfortable and the place is beautifully decorated. Everything was clean and Kathy was so responsive and easy to communicate with. We loved the peace we felt in her home and will undoubtedly be back soon. Highly highly recommend!!

Luxe Condo 5 min walk to Umhlanga Beach & Village
Rocky and Kerry are absolutely wonderful hosts and went above and beyond. The place felt like a holiday but comfortable like home aswell. The location is ideal you don’t need to drive anywhere. I will definitely be back when I visit Umhlanga again. Everyone that visited me thought it was stunning. What a beautiful place to stay and it has everything you need.

Coastal Getaway: Ocean Views & Tranquility
We had an amazing stay! Thank you to the lovely hosts. This place was a memorable part of our Comrades journey and will always hold a special place. The bedrooms were spotless, and we slept incredibly well. It’s close to really nice restaurants. The sea view is stunning, and the space is airy and comfortable. It's a charming little nest — we highly recommend it!
House rentals with beach access

On Hewitt | Beach House | Salt Rock
What an exquisite home. Incredible location - the views were exceptional, the staff Buhle and Chris were amazing and the home itself just gorgeous. We had everything we needed and our favourite place was the little sun-bathing patio over the beach. One of the most beautiful homes we have ever stayed in - we will definitely be back

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.

Beautiful beach cottage in Salt Rock
Douglas our host is fabulous, always a message away alongside Thulani our caretaker who lives on site while maintaining privacy for us guests. The facilities are more than perfect for us three adults and we slept like babies. Book the house and you will be blown away. Thank you for having us, we will come back again.

Chakas Terrace 7 - Beach House
Melissa was the BEST. This was one of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve had! The place is absolutely beautiful and truly became the highlight of our vacation. The check-in process was smooth. It was comfortable, welcoming, and had everything we needed and more. I highly recommend this place and I am definitely going back.

The Lighthouse Quarter: Heart of Umhlanga
A very nice place in Umhlanga, conveniently located with very nice views. Responsive hosted who readily assisted when l was struggling to find the place. Would highly recommend for solo and family accommodation.

Umhlanga - Ke Nako!
great apartment, excellent location and value for money

Rycas Khaya - Coastal Apartment
We had a wonderful stay at this property! The host was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our visit, which made the experience smooth and stress-free. The apartment was spotless and very well maintained — we really appreciated the attention to cleanliness. The estate itself is peaceful and serene, offering a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. We would definitely recommend this place to others and hope to return ourselves in the future!

Luxury beach holiday villa
Great location for a family. Private and quiet, yet an easy walk to beach and restaurants. Sandra the housekeeper was amazing!

Ballito Beachfront Bliss *with backup power*
We have just completed a 3 week stay with 4 adults sharing Loren's place. In our opinion it is the perfect place to stay if visiting Ballito. The apartment itself is large, very clean and extremely well equipped. The complex is very well maintained, in particular the pool and garden areas. It is also situated in an ideal spot with direct access to the boardwalk and beach, and is a within a short walking distance of shops and restaurants. Parking is secure and undercover. We can't add much more to all the other positive reviews which are spot on. For any golfers, we would highly recommend Umhlali Country Club golf course which is a 10 minute drive away. Thanks especially to our hosts Loren, Deon and Viv who are on hand and very quick to respond should you need anything.

Petite Maison de Plage'
we loved staying there for a couple of nights. great views, well appointed neat apartment, centrally located. ticked all the boxes - thank you

Luxury Beach Villa
Nicely laid out space for a group-share: four independent rooms, each with an en suite full bathroom. Proximity to beach is excellent. The condo is outfitted with everything you'd need--from kitchen gear to beach towels, etc. We were a group of seven attending a wedding and had a great time in the space. Trish was also very helpful: when one guest forgot his passport in the condo, she was quick to let us back into the space well after checkout. I would recommend Trish's place for anyone looking for a fun pad to connect with family and friends, beachside.

Luxury Beach Getaway@Coral Point
We had a lovely stay here! The views were absolutely stunning. What really made our experience stand out was Noluthando's exceptional hospitality, she was super responsive and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed.🙏🏽 Highly recommend this place and I'll definitely be coming back.☺️
