We had a wonderful stay at this lovely home away from home. The property was exactly as described in the listing, and it truly exceeded my expectations. I would gladly book again the next time I’m in the area. Thank you for a fantastic and comfortable stay.

511 Umdloti Resort S/Catering 1bed apart Sea view
Amazing place to stay! Peet was an incredibly friendly and accommodating host. He went out of his way to make my later check-in smooth and stress-free, and his warm and welcoming nature really stood out throughout my stay. The views from the home were absolutely breathtaking—one of those places you instantly feel at peace in. I honestly regret not booking more days, it was that good. I’ll definitely be coming back to stay again. Highly recommend!

We wish we could have stayed longer but the extended dates were already booked by others — a loss for us and a win for them, it was a pleasant stay and a very nice accommodation.

"Endless Summer" Tropical Beach Villa in Umdloti
The house was perfect for a family holiday, we felt very at home there. Lovely rooms, clean good quality linen, with a great little pool. Best part was the close proximity to the stunning beach. The hostess was so helpful and understanding. I made a mixup with my booking and she was considerate and helpful and handled our late booking out with professional attitude. Thank you so much Corrine and so sorry again for the mixup on my behalf. The monkeys were a real pest, we had to keep the doors and windows closed all the time, they are so cheeky. The shutters on the windows and doors were fantastic as you could open the windows and keep the shutters closed to get fresh are but keep the monkeys out. We had a wonderful family holiday, we would book this house again. Thank you so much.

Fabulous Beach House with Magnificent Ocean Views
The house was amazing, just what we needed and served our pupose perfectly The location as well, is beautiful Everything about our stay was perfect There was plenty of spcae for everyone and the setup for socialising was incredibly comfortable and to our needs I would suggest to anyone looking for a great place to stay close to the ocean, this is it

Salt Rock Beach getaway
Lovely home right on the ocean! We had a great stay at the Beach getaway in Salt Rock. You can't beat the location with direct access to the beach and a rock pool right there for swimming. The house has everything you could need and Nellie, the maid, was so helpful! It was so nice to be able to travel with our small dogs and they had a blast running up and down the large garden. Definitely recommend this home for the idyllic beach stay :)

Dolphin View Beach House
I had an amazing stay at this beautiful beach house! The location was perfect, just steps away from the ocean, with stunning views of the sunrise every morning. The house itself was clean, spacious, and thoughtfully decorated, providing a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. The fully equipped kitchen made it easy to prepare meals, and the outdoor patio was a perfect spot for morning breakfast. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I highly recommend this beach house for anyone looking for a peaceful, seaside getaway!

On Hewitt | Beach House | Salt Rock
We LOVED this house. We were 4 families with little kids and this place was so spacious, it never felt crammed. Waking up to ocean views every morning was magical. The house has direct access to the beach which we all loved. The housekeepers were so friendly and helpful. And the neighborhood is beautiful, safe, and close to cafes, restaurants, and activities. We will definitely come here again!

**Stunning Beach House on Salt Rock beach**
This home has been one of our best stays in the Dolphin coast. The home is extremely spacious, catering for large families (we had 13) with breath taking ocean views, that flow into the house. Enough bedrooms and bathrooms to cater for privacy, fantastic open plan communal areas. A relaxing environment with all amenities you need to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Direct beach access made it super convenient for kids and elders getting to the ocean for swims Our family could not stop raving about what an amazing place it was. Recommend!

Seaside Retreat - Main house
Absolutely breathtaking views! I wish we could wake up to this every day. Neil, thank you so much for accommodating my family and me, especially after the sudden passing of my uncle. Your kindness in rescheduling our stay was truly appreciated and demonstrates your exceptional care for clients.

Secure Ballito, Simbithi, solar power always on.
Jan was a great host and the house is beautiful. We'd love to stay again.

The Lighthouse Quarter: Heart of Umhlanga
Stunning location. No need to use your car to go to the restaurants, shops or even the beach. The apartment itself is just as stunning, with beautiful views.

Ocean Luxury at The Quays (2/4 sleeper)
What can I say about Bronwyn? She has helped us how no end she’s been calm relaxed helpful helped us out a lot. The place is amazing. The view is amazing. The people are amazing. This is definitely a place to go. If you wanna relax. We will definitely be coming back here with my wife.

Seaview Self Catering Apartment Amanzimtoti
My sister and myself had a wonderful time, the view was spectacular every day, you could hear the ocean the whole time. Apartment was beautiful and our hosts friendly, available when needed and helpfull.

Zimbali Estate Luxury Apartment with Sea Views
Our family loved our stay at the Zimbali Suites. The location is beautiful, the apartment is well equipped with lots to do in and around Zimbali. The fridge broke down and Wendy and team arranged for an alternative within a very short time. Getting in and out of Zimbali as a short term rental is a bit of a pain with all adults needing to bring their drivers license or ID with every time but it keeps it nice and safe for everyone. Having to rely on the shuttles to get to around also takes a bit of planning but was worth the effort. Highly recommended.

Shaka Shores Panoramic views - 2 bedroom unit
I had a great time and clean , nice view of the beach , a wonderful woman indeed, I’d definitely come back again

Seaview Apartment in Warner Beach
We had a lovely stay at Seaview. The views are awesome and everything that we needed was provided. Even the emergency light and gas stove when loadshedding was suddenly implemented without warning

Lagoon Drive Upmarket Beachfront Nest
Paola was an absolutely amazing host. She provided us with clear instructions up front and was extremely communicative. She assisted us with all of our inquiries and she made us feel right at home. The place is breathtaking and exactly as per the pictures. It’s peaceful, with an amazing view and close to any and every restaurant you would need. We will definitely be back

Ballito Beachfront Paradise *with backup power*
Loren’s place was an amazing stay. Checking in was seamless. The hosts were very welcoming. Our long trip away from home with the children felt like home away from home. The place had all the amenities that you could ask for. The views are amazing! It was a great and pleasant stay. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to visit Ballito.
