Family-friendly vacation rentals in Durban South

The place is as advertised. While it could be cleaner, it's not too bad. The furniture is in good condition, which adds to the comfort. The smart TVs are a nice addition, but unfortunately, none of the apps (DSTV, Netflix, Showmax) were working. Access and entry procedures are simple and straightforward. The host’s communication was excellent—responsive and helpful throughout the stay. Checkout can be a bit challenging for a family with kids, but it's understandable. Overall, I had a good experience and would definitely go back.

The place was great, even better than the pictures. All the amenities listed were available and so much more. It’s a dream for young kids, because of the large pool and yard space to run around. The communication was great, all our questions were answered very quickly. The place was spotless and remained so for our entire stay. It truly felt like a home away from home. Definitely recommend 10/10

Great spot to be if you want to experience Zimbali has to offer. A proper inverter system would be great improvement

Wonderful place to stay ,Elsen is a wonderful person ,very accomodating,the lodge highly recommended

Perfect location to the beach and the centre of uMhlanga. Our family of 8 had a wonderful stay. Thank you, we would definitely stay again.

I really enjoyed my stay. Oscar is a perfect host. He even invented me to braai he had with his friend and his son. We had greaf conversation over meal. The place is neat, clean and private.

I recently stayed at a fantastic Airbnb in Kloof for a work trip, and it exceeded all my expectations. The hosts were exceptionally friendly and accommodating, which made my stay smooth and stress-free. The place was spotlessly clean and maintained to a high standard. It was also very comfortable, providing a peaceful environment to relax and recharge after long workdays. All the amenities in the unit were up to standard, ensuring I had everything I needed for a productive stay. I highly recommend for anyone traveling to Kloof for work or leisure.

Hi Wayne, accommodation was fantastic thank you. close to the pools and the beach access. Unit was neat and clean. We will definitely be coming back and bringing the little girls so they can play on the slides and pool.

Amazing place enjoyed the beach walk with my family and our puppy

What an amazing getaway - absolutely stunning views, walking distance from the beach and near amazing restaurants and shops. We had our toddler and our senior dog with us, and both of them enjoyed it thoroughly. Felt like home away from home. Will definitely be going back 😀 thank you Margriet for being such an amazing host.

Janne's place really is a home away from home. The cottage is peaceful and surrounding by a wonderful garden that overlooks some of the best parts of Durban. We didn't want for anything, the kitchen was well stocked with essentials, the bed was large and comfy, the internet was fast, the aircon is very effective and the cottage was very easy to lock up and go. I highly recommend this spot when in Durban and will be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, love Hajra who really takes good care of the place. Marian is always checking in and keeps us updated. This is our third stay and will be returning. Thank you Marian and Hajra.

Place was exactly as described. A perfect place to rest a mere 10min drive away from Durban central. WiFi was exhausted on day 1 with my 3 children. I like to try new places. But Matt's place is a safe bet so will probably return. High 5 Matt.

An absolute paradise! Great for all ages, we had from a toddler for the day to 85 year old mama, who all felt at home and had a wonderful time. We lived on the back porch, soaking in the sun and breeze and catching up with each other after 2 years apart. Would absolutely stay again!

Spectacular, from the location, the views, the beach access, space, and amenities, this place is heaven for those looking for a quiet, private breakaway to a pristine area just off the M4. Also close enough to Ballito for shopping. The house is perfect for families wanting to relax and enjoy the view, and really does have all you need. Debra was also an excellent host, very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely recommend!

The fact that you can literally just cross the road and be on the beach makes this place a gem! The patio area chairs were so soft and comfortable, and it was so amazing that we could relax on the patio while listening to the ocean. Some small things to note - one, the garden is not fully “enclosed” so if you have a pet, keep in mind that there’s another airbnb and the owner sharing the same property as you. The unit also lists dstv and a tv, but unfortunately the tv seems too out of date to run dstv smoothly, and makes it unwatchable due to it getting stuck every few seconds. Second bed setup by the tv was so comfortable we enjoyed just relaxing there without the tv anyway. The bed was also comfy and there were plenty pillows! The kitchen was generously stocked with some basic food supplies and was very clean and the perfect size. Warren is one of the most proactive and friendly hosts we’ve met. He even brought us 10l of spring water during our stay! We recommend Wazo’s 🤟🏄‍♂️

I have booked places for celebrations and nothing, to date, comes close to Smith's Cottage. Their service was filled with much humility and comfort. I am more than convinced that as for now, they will always be my first choice. Thank you, Smith's Cottage.

What a Truly 5 Star experience than my wife, daughter and I had at Kerry's place. The house is truly 5 Start yet the pricing is actually very reasonable for the value One receives. Kerry is proactive in her communication, very responsive to the guests requests and is very flexible. The house is always spotless due to the very helpful and diligent cleaning team. Definitely going back there soon!

We stayed for the weekend with our daughter and her friend for my daughter’s 7th birthday and for them having the beach a stone throw away was perfect they had the time of their lives!! House was clean and neat and we loved the games Nicole has at the house we got to all play as a family. The girls enjoyed their room as you can see the ocean from there. Nicole was also understanding and friendly always. 100% enjoyed our stay!

We had a great stay in a perfect location. Loved sitting out on the terrace listening the to ocean break. Would come again in a heartbeat!

What an amazing long weekend getaway! Natalie was so so helpful with everything we needed. The unit is beautiful and cosy with a magnificent view! Natalie went out of her way to make sure we have everything we needed- she's such a sweet and kind host. The doggo's are so well behaved and the friendliest you'll ever meet- definitely one of the many highlights of this unit! I will definitely book again x

We had an amazing time, your home is stunning and your help is top notch. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. Best stay in Zimbali ever!

Pictures dont do the place justice. A lovely place. Easy access to the beach, 15min walk to oceans mall and tons of restaurant's. Two tvs. No complaints

Staying at Duncan's place for our festive holiday enabled us to make great memories, enjoy the fabulous layout and convenient amenities. The pool was perfect for cooling down in the hot weather and then relaxing in the tranquil garden. We appreciated the security and safety features too. The home is on a quiet street, with great views of the sea in the distance and a bit of the cityscape. Duncan and Kate are great communicators, always available to respond to messages to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We'd love to stay again in future.
