Family-friendly vacation rentals in Illovo South

Leslie's home was great. It was in a great location and Leslie was easy to get hold of when we had question. There were a couple of minor issues that were easily sorted out, like the location of the stove switch and the keys to one of the sliding doors. The only downside, had to do with the parking - there was something that dripped from the parking ceiling onto my windscreen and bonnet and I'm struggling to remove it.

Thank u Frank for having us. The place is beautiful and clean. Definitely coming back again

I cannot say enough positive things about my experience staying here. Nikki and Tom went above and beyond as air b&b hosts and truly made my experience amazing. When I landed in Durban, they picked me up from the airport and after learning that my luggage was stuck in Joburg, they took me to the store so that I could get some toiletries and food for the day. They were so patient and warm in every interaction that I had with them. When we lost water, they brought me a 5 liter jug and were extremely communicative any time we lost water or electricity. I was in Durban for two months and struggled to find people to travel with and they literally adopted me most weekends to hang out with them at their beach club. Regarding the air bnb itself, it was the perfect size for me. It is in the safest neighborhood with great restaurants and a bakery within walking distance! There's fiber internet and a washing machine. Loved this little cottage, love Nikki and Tom, and love Durban!!

We had never stayed in an Airbnb property before and so had no idea what to expect. However, The Lilypad surpassed anything we could have imagined. The house itself was beautiful and much bigger than it seemed in the photos and Derrick and Margi are the perfect hosts. The house is spacious and very well equipped. Even the monkeys turned up to watch us eating lunch in the garden one day. It was like a wildlife documentary in reverse! We could not believe their generosity in taking our children to the airport at 5.30am after we left! If all Airbnb properties and hosts are all like this then we are hooked.

Gary is such a pleasant host, easy reachable and very responsive. Beautiful place and surroundings. Beach front view is the best part. Would highly recommend!!!!

A lovely garden cottage, only 5min drive from the beach. Very peaceful and extremely clean! Loved my stay and would highly recommend it for solo travellers and couples. Thank you Oscar.

We had the most magnificent stay in Bev and Phil's place - everything was amazing! It is impossible to put that view into words - and to wake up to it every morning was just unreal. I had to pinch myself every day to make sure I wasn't dreaming. Everyone in the family had the best time - the kids, the grandparents, and the pups included! Thank you Bev for being so welcoming, and just so lovely to deal with. You made our stay even more special. We can't wait to come back.

This spot is the best and ideal for kids. From the big wrap around veranda, beautiful garden and big lawn (perfect for kiddies cricket and rugby matches) to the beach right on your doorstep, you can unwind, enjoy being outdoors and watch the kids living their best lives. We will definitely be back!

Thank you, it was a lovely place to stay and so close to the beach

Our stay was exquisite ! Roelof and team were always responsive and always looking for ways to make our stay comfortable with little to no inconvenience. The ocean views were incredible and the place was conveniently located near the beach. The place is filled with all the amenities you could think of - and we would definitely stay here again . We had a lovely time and we thank the team for ensuring we had a great stay .

Loved my stay here! Marian, Mauro, and Hajra (housekeeper) are extremely friendly and attentive. Not only are they great hosts but I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with them. The unit was actually better than the pictures. I booked this place initially because it’s one of the few Airbnb’s that offered everything… A/C, fast WiFi, backup power, a full kitchen, gas stove, separate bedroom and living space, etc. My biggest priority was safety and this unit was extremely secure being in the back of the property with lots of gates and cameras. I don’t think there is any other Airbnb in the area that matches up to it. I would absolutely stay here again!

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

The location was good, the house was jolly good, Essy was mega helpful, the facilities were fine, the grounds were delightful, the cottage next to the house was a pleasure, the gates worked well, and it was a decent place to stay. I thought it was useful value for the money. Before you arrive though you need to find a contact WhatsUp number because Roger was in Canada and the intercom at the gate didn't function. But that was a small thing. I'd be happy to go back again.

Super place in Hilton , was on business , but would like to come back and spend some time in Hilton at Philiipas spot

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!

Stephanie was extremely welcoming and open to suggestions regarding our pets when we have to leave them whilst we were attending to shooping etc. She communicated everything well and was easy to talk to. We enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again.

Calvin’s place offers sea views that are truly out of this world — waking up to that breathtaking sight was a daily gift. The cleanliness of the home is absolutely commendable; everything was spotless and well cared for. The cozy atmosphere made it feel like a comforting retreat, the perfect spot to relax and recharge. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend Jack’s place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with stunning views.

Beautiful home with outstanding views of the ocean. Spacious and welcoming. Everything we needed for our family holiday.

We had a lovely stay. Apartment great, location superb and hosting service excellent. Thank you Debs and company.

Craig and his staff are exceptionally good hosts. He went out of his way to accommodate us and really made us feel at home. The place was spotless and really well kept - everything you need! Well worth the stay!!

We had a wonderful stay at Ishara's place. It was such a lovely relaxing place. The place is way better than what u see in the pictures. It was so neat and clean and spacious.The most amazing thing about the place was the breathtaking views. The sea, the tidal pool, the dolphins...U can just sit on the deck, have your breakfast/lunch and enjoy the views. It was also so good to have your own braai area and own pool, we made good use of it. The unit has the best appliances and everything that u would need. It was also great having DSTV for the rainy days. Ishara was great in terms of communication, when we needed something she was very responsive, accommodating and welcoming, being flexible with the checkin arrangements for us when we arrived later than planned. Also the helper was Olive was very friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend this place, you would definitely enjoy every bit of it

The place was very beautiful quiet and homely. We enjoyed our stay my son wanted to stay forever. I guess we will be going back soon.

We loved everything about the place....peaceful, safe..clean. And Cynthia the house keeper is absolutely amazing. It was great. It accomodated 2 couples and 3 kids very spacious. We just love it. Close to the beach. Love love love. Liesl is a great communicator and responsive

Beautiful accommodation, quiet and peaceful. Lovely walks in the estate. Tania was an excellent host, friendly and helpful . Thank you Tania for a wonderful stay.
