Apartment vacation rentals in Umbilo

My family and I recently had the opportunity to stay at Elise's place, and we felt right at home! There were tons of activities for the kids, and the staff are so, so friendly. Both Elise and Courtaney were great hosts, friendly and attentive. We will definitely be booking again. A true gem, a home away from home 🏡, 😊

I had such a wonderful stay here—one of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve had. The apartment is exactly as described (if not better): tastefully decorated, immaculately clean, and full of thoughtful touches that really elevate the stay. A bottle of wine and a selection of Nespresso pods were waiting for me on arrival, which was such a lovely welcome after a long journey. The location is peaceful and quiet, with a beautiful sea view that you can enjoy right from the upstairs lounge It felt like the perfect retreat, yet it’s still just a short drive to shops, restaurants and the beach is opposite! The hosts were brilliant—friendly, responsive, and clearly take great pride in making guests feel at home. Everything has been done to a really high standard, from the linens to the kitchen equipment to the little design details. It’s the kind of place where you instantly relax and know you’re in good hands. I’d come back in a heartbeat.

Carmen's place is very spacious, squeaky, clean, and peaceful. The view is breathtaking, the surroundings is very safe and walkable. She has an airfryer, which was a cherry on top for me even though I didn't use it cause we ate out. I'll definitely book again.

Fezeka’s place was great. It looked like the pictures. It was very clean.Everything worked. It was very peaceful. We would go back.

Hampton’s Collection place met all my expectations! The apartment was immaculately clean, stylishly decorated, and perfectly located for exploring Durban. The communication with Keshav was seamless. The little touches, such as personalised welcome note, made me feel truly welcome. I highly recommend Keshav’s place to anyone looking for a fantastic Airbnb experience in Durban. I can't wait to come back!

I really enjoyed the peaceful area, the place was so cute and intimate for us. loved, loved it and clean..

Great stay!! It was our first time in Durban and most shops and locations were around the apartment which was very convenient! Not to mention the host so attentive and friendly! The apartment looked exactly like the photos! No complaints overall it is a great apartment to stay in:)

The place was awesome..Daneshrie the host was amazing and friendly..Great views and place was as described...

What an amazing getaway - absolutely stunning views, walking distance from the beach and near amazing restaurants and shops. We had our toddler and our senior dog with us, and both of them enjoyed it thoroughly. Felt like home away from home. Will definitely be going back 😀 thank you Margriet for being such an amazing host.

Its my second stay at Hennos place and the consistency was fantastic. Had an absolutely great stay yet again in this prime location. Highly recommended

My family and I loved our time here together! The place is beautiful, spacious and very comfortable. Jackie was a wonderful host, very attentive and was always reachable if/when needed. Anyone looking for a “home away from home” while traveling or on holiday - I highly recommend this place! Thanks Jackie ☺️

Great place, right near the beaches. Maria is friendly & readily available for any needs, place is cleaned often. We very much enjoyed out stay, would come again.

Super satisfied with everything.

Amazing place, private, quiet, good WiFi connectivity making it easy to work after hours. Very friendly hosts, clean place, very spacious. Felt at home away from home.

Lovely setting and very friendly hosts. Loved the spacious bathroom as well.

This is the second time we stayed at Dawn’s place. We want space and views and creature comforts. Greedy, yes. Sometimes you can get your cake and eat it. I’ll get up early, around 6am. Get my feet on the dewy grass, grounded. I look out over the ocean. It’s seems deep and dangerous. So far away from the hustle back in Jozi. I come up with all sorts of plans for the day, that never materialise. Eish. Around 6:30am a bus edges through the visible forest just over the hedge. People just going to work. Then the ants start to bite my feet and head back inside. Coffee.

The place is as advertised. While it could be cleaner, it's not too bad. The furniture is in good condition, which adds to the comfort. The smart TVs are a nice addition, but unfortunately, none of the apps (DSTV, Netflix, Showmax) were working. Access and entry procedures are simple and straightforward. The host’s communication was excellent—responsive and helpful throughout the stay. Checkout can be a bit challenging for a family with kids, but it's understandable. Overall, I had a good experience and would definitely go back.

Great place to stay right by the beach with easy access. Loved the view and entire family loved that you could just take a short walk to the beach...

Lovely apartment overlooking a good beach where you can safely swim, nice pool area, secure building. Easy walk to both the nature reserve one way and the busy village area the other. Lots of food options. We enjoyed our stay.

Thoroughly enjoyed the stay at Avikar’s place. The view from the apartment was amazing, the apartment was located in a peaceful area and the place was within walking distance to restaurants and Ushaka Marine World. I’d stay at Avikar’s place again when next in Durban.

We had a lovely stay over the festive season. Great location and all necessary amenities. The jacuzzi and outside area were a massive plus and lovely to be able to walk into the village and to the beach.

Nihal was an excellent host. He was very responsive and accomadating. The place is absolutely stunning, location is fabulous. My family and I had an incredible stay and look forward to our next booking with Nihal at the Oysters.

Lerisha is an awesome host, gave clear and helpful instructions for checking in, very responsive… the place was peaceful and absolutely gorgeous.. I really enjoyed my stay

The place was amazing, my friends and I really enjoyed our stay.
