My fiancè and I recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful property in Shaka's Rock, and I can't recommend it enough! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by breathtaking ocean views and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The house itself is spacious, well-equipped, and beautifully decorated. We especially loved the open-plan living area and the outdoor patio. The hosts were incredibly accommodating, providing us with helpful tips and ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. If you're looking for a relaxing beach vacation with all the comforts of home, this is the place to be. We can't wait to return!

Ballito Beachfront Paradise *with backup power*

AjaniRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I HIGHLY recommend this venue. It is perfect for a small family trip. The unit is spacious, fully equipped, and even has a washer/dryer. It is just steps from the beach/boardwalk, and the host provides helpful items like beach towels and beach chairs. Just note that it’s on the top floor of the building, so pack accordingly since you’ll need to carry your bags. Loren is an excellent host, fully responsive, and so very helpful. There are multiple beachside restaurants less than a 5 minute walk from the building, and lots of rock pools and safe swimming areas along the beach. If you are looking to stay in Ballito, this is the place.
