The Beach house on Tiffany bay - newly revamped.
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.

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

The Villas No.4 (Direct Beach Access)

Shells Cozy on-the-beach Hideaway
We had an absolutely wonderful three days in Kathy’s place. The photos don’t do the place justice. The views are incredible… we chose staying in and enjoying the views over eating out. The beds and furniture are so comfortable and the place is beautifully decorated. Everything was clean and Kathy was so responsive and easy to communicate with. We loved the peace we felt in her home and will undoubtedly be back soon. Highly highly recommend!!

15 SEA LODGE
Yusuf’s apartment was in a great location close to everything. Short walk to beachfront, restaurants and was a well maintained place to stay. The security at the gate was friendly and welcoming, creating peace of mind.

Lagoon Drive Upmarket Beachfront Nest
I spent 1 night at the house and really had a great time, the place is nice and clean with nice sea views. Paula has been an amazing host, very responsive,I strongly recommend it and will definitely come back for a longer stay.

Luxury Beach Villa
Nicely laid out space for a group-share: four independent rooms, each with an en suite full bathroom. Proximity to beach is excellent. The condo is outfitted with everything you'd need--from kitchen gear to beach towels, etc. We were a group of seven attending a wedding and had a great time in the space. Trish was also very helpful: when one guest forgot his passport in the condo, she was quick to let us back into the space well after checkout. I would recommend Trish's place for anyone looking for a fun pad to connect with family and friends, beachside.

I had a wonderful stay at this property! The place was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything I needed.

The Waves1-Secure 1 Bed Beach Apartment
Martin was such a great host I must say. He’s place was beautiful and exactly as described in the pictures. The view was to die for we could see the beach and the lake with fish. The security guards downstairs at reception are so friendly and helpful any questions you have they were willing to help especially with directions to get the attractions. We had a wonderful stay and I definitely recommend this place it was clean even the bedding and linen was clean and it smelled fresh. Will definitely be staying here again.
