RebiRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Amazing place to stay! Peet was an incredibly friendly and accommodating host. He went out of his way to make my later check-in smooth and stress-free, and his warm and welcoming nature really stood out throughout my stay. The views from the home were absolutely breathtaking—one of those places you instantly feel at peace in. I honestly regret not booking more days, it was that good. I’ll definitely be coming back to stay again. Highly recommend!

"Endless Summer" Tropical Beach Villa in Umdloti

AnneRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The house was perfect for a family holiday, we felt very at home there. Lovely rooms, clean good quality linen, with a great little pool. Best part was the close proximity to the stunning beach. The hostess was so helpful and understanding. I made a mixup with my booking and she was considerate and helpful and handled our late booking out with professional attitude. Thank you so much Corrine and so sorry again for the mixup on my behalf. The monkeys were a real pest, we had to keep the doors and windows closed all the time, they are so cheeky. The shutters on the windows and doors were fantastic as you could open the windows and keep the shutters closed to get fresh are but keep the monkeys out. We had a wonderful family holiday, we would book this house again. Thank you so much.

**Stunning Beach House on Salt Rock beach**

TomekRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This home has been one of our best stays in the Dolphin coast. The home is extremely spacious, catering for large families (we had 13) with breath taking ocean views, that flow into the house. Enough bedrooms and bathrooms to cater for privacy, fantastic open plan communal areas. A relaxing environment with all amenities you need to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Direct beach access made it super convenient for kids and elders getting to the ocean for swims Our family could not stop raving about what an amazing place it was. Recommend!

Ocean Luxury at The Quays (2/4 sleeper)

LungeloRating, 5 stars1 week ago
I had a great time with my mother. The place was easy to find, we enjoyed our stay and the view is absolutely amazing. I am a Durbanite, but I haven’t lived home in over 12 years so it was nice to take out my mom for her 64th birthday and enjoy this lovely home as our vacation home. It was sad to leave and I wish I booked more days, we will be returning on another family vacation.

Zimbali Estate Luxury Apartment with Sea Views

JacoRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Our family loved our stay at the Zimbali Suites. The location is beautiful, the apartment is well equipped with lots to do in and around Zimbali. The fridge broke down and Wendy and team arranged for an alternative within a very short time. Getting in and out of Zimbali as a short term rental is a bit of a pain with all adults needing to bring their drivers license or ID with every time but it keeps it nice and safe for everyone. Having to rely on the shuttles to get to around also takes a bit of planning but was worth the effort. Highly recommended.
