Beachfront vacation rentals in KwaZulu-Natal

This is an excellent house in an excellent location of the northern KZN coast. Beach is a small stroll away and the house is designed in a very functional way, with a big common area but very private bedrooms. One of my best finds on AirBnB.

Wow! What a wonderful, relaxing home to holiday in! The photos don’t do it justice, it is even more stunning in person. We loved every moment of our stay, especially the direct access to the beach. Lindiwe was so helpful too. Thank you Debbie, we can’t wait to book our next trip!

Great location. Beautiful views. Evette, a friendly host who welcomed us to their wonderful place that we enjoyed staying at.

Our stay was comfortable and we loved that we were just a short walk from the beach. Pieter and Velosh are extremely accommodating- with us and with our dogs. They made sure we felt right at home! Pieter’s communication was fantastic and very responsive.

We had a wonderful 2-night stay, beautiful house and garden in a very secluded area. Awesome views and a quick walk to the beach, which is very private. Loved the wrap around veranda with plenty of outdoor furniture to lounge around on. Will definitely be back!

Our second time staying here and we actually waited until this home was available and planned our trip around it. Even better the second time. thank you!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – A Stay We’ll Never Forget! This was hands down one of the most incredible places we’ve ever stayed! From the moment we arrived, everything felt like a dream. The views? Absolutely to die for. Waking up to the most breathtaking sunrises and dolphin sightings—it honestly felt like a slice of paradise. The home itself was immaculate and beautifully designed. But what truly made the experience unforgettable was our host. She went above and beyond every single day—bringing us fresh coffee each morning (yes, really!), aand treating us with such genuine kindness. Nothing was ever too much trouble. It felt less like staying at an Airbnb and more like being welcomed into someone's lovingly cared-for haven. We’ve stayed in many places, but this one? It’s something special. It’s the kind of place you start planning your return to before you've even left. Can’t recommend it highly enough—we'll absolutely be back 💃

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.

This was a stunning home that not just matched the pictures but was even more breathtaking in reality. The home was modern, clean and well maintained. Our hosts were very accommodating to our needs and were easy to get ahold of, definitely super hosts !

Probably the best place to stay in Ballito, right on the beach with a beautiful balcony. We'd definitely stay here again for a next visit !

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.

It’s the second time we went to Kerry and Leo’s place and still beautiful as always!!!

Jenny and her helper Cynthia were very nice and accomodating. We had a blast in this stunning house!

It is a nice and beautiful place on the ocean shore! Specially recommended for couples and families .

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.☺️

My family and I love the beauty of the place great hosts. Jessica and Antoinette very helpful very clean and spacious will definitely go back in the future. thank you Jessica for being an amazing host.

Great location if you are looking for a peaceful place. Close enough to a few shops and restaurants which is convenient. We only stayed for a night as it was a stop over but would gladly recommend to friends and family going to the area. Stayed with my husband and 2 kids who all loved the spot as well. One of the last spots that really hasn’t been built up. Very special location.

It’s a beautiful place and I felt right at home I would definitely book again

Our home away from home. Absolutely ove this place at the sea!

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. The views were absolutely stunning, and the space was thoughtfully set up with nice little touches throughout. 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!

We had the whole venue to ourselves which was an added bonus. Very chilled and relaxed environment... so close to the main beach yet private enough to get away from crowds. Loved the treehouse for sundowners... almost 180 degree view.

Best stay ever!! We loved the tranquillity and beautiful and clean house and beach. An exceptional place to rest in awesome amenities. Thank you everything was perfect. We will be back.

We had a great stay at Alize Beach Cottage. This pet-friendly stay was the perfect spot with our pups. The property was comfortable, and just steps from the beach. Our dogs loved the early morning beach walks to watch the sunrise with miles of unspoilt beach to ourselves. Annaleen and Howard were responsive and welcoming, providing us with all the info we needed to make the most of our stay. The neighborhood was quiet and safe and the hosts shared all the local hangouts and hiddem gems to visit. We'd highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing beach vacation with their pets. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Such a beautiful stay, amazing place with gorgeous views and easy access to beach
