"Endless Summer" Tropical Beach Villa in Umdloti
Our stay was next level. From check-in to check-out, everything was on point. This is a real gem. Corrine's communication was so good; she went the extra mile to make our stay even more special. Can't find fault with anything. We will be back!

The house was lovely, and Heather was a great host. We felt very welcome and comfortable. The complimentary wine was great! Thank you!

The Ultimate Beach Front Home - 25 Sovereign Sands
A beautiful, spacious beach home with gorgeous views and an unspoilt beach. Right on the beach & with easy access to the beach. Secure complex. We’ll definitely be back!

The Villas No.4 (Direct Beach Access)
The house has amazing ocean views and the sound of the waves was a beautiful background to our stay. A few steps from the beach, we had a wonderful time.

NOMAX BEACH HOUSE. Ballito/Chakas Rock-beachfront
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

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.

Incredible Beach House Sanctuary near Ballito!
Thank you Chad for a great stay ! The location of your home is perfect and the views from the house overlooking the sea and lagoon are spectacular. It was very peaceful sitting on the deck watching the sunsets. The kitchen was well equipped but lacking a dishwasher. Overall a great experience !

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.

Penthouse Apt With Amazing Sea View
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!

Lovely beachfront 2 bedroom apartment with views
We had the most beautiful weekend away at Bonnies place. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a get away at Umhlanga. Bonnie was the perfect host, always available and so accommodating. The flat was exactly as advertised, beautiful views and location, clean and tastefully decorated. The only downside was that we only had 2 nights there.... Will definitely be back

The best spot in Umdloti.
I had the absolute pleasure of staying at this incredible Airbnb and I can honestly say it exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by every bedroom’s stunning sea views, impeccable cleanliness with thoughtful touches like blackout shutters and fully equipped kitchen where we carb-loaded like champions. When I shared our comrades marathon story/journey with the host, she was very supportive of our initiative and shared a messages of support. Whether you're looking for a peaceful getaway or running the Comrades and need a serene, well equipped base camp, this place offers the perfect setting. I can't recommend it enough and can't wait to return!

Jean was a fantastic host—friendly and easy to communicate with and definitely went the extra mile for us. The unit was spotless, really comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay.

We enjoyed the small trail in the complex and loved being able to walk to Thompson’s Bay Beach. We’d definitely love to come back!
