Cottage by the Sea. Early check in : 8.30am
We had a wonderful stay at The Cottage. The space was comfortable with homely amenities. The morning view of the ocean and the sunrise was special. We had dolphin sightings on both days that we stayed. We also spotted beautiful birds. We would definitely come back again. Thank you Bev - you have a special spot and your attention to detail made the cottage extra comfortable.

Seascape
Thank you for a wonderful week. We loved everything. Christine is very kind and helpful. Not our last time here.

On The Beach Ballito @ 1 The Grange
It was our second visit to Matt&Nadine’s place and once again everything was excellent. You can’t find a better spot and more comfortable unit. The location is magical and so easy if you are travelling with a family. We will definately be back. Thank you Matt&Nadine, you go above and beyond.

511 Umdloti Resort S/Catering 1bed Sea view Wow!
very good spot, looking out straight into the ocean, close to Durban. has all essentials that you need. hosts communicative and very kind. I recommend

Ocean Dunes G014 - Relax, Unwind & Recharge
Thank you for being a great host, the home was beautiful, and simply perfect I wish we stayed longer! Definitely will be booking again in the future. The place is extremely safe and secured which was amazing to experience. The decor of the home was perfect. I'm in love with the kitchen set up I could spending hours cooking there. Thank you.

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.

Casa Ciervo, cottage with foot path beach access
Dear Jan & Ricky, Thank you for yet another wonderful stay at Casa Cuervo! You make us feel like family and we always receive 5 star warmth and hospitality. Thank you for the most delicious breakfasts and the attention to detail and care you put into everything. Helen & Derek 💓

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 Ultimate Beach Front Home - 25 Sovereign Sands
A beautiful, spacious beach home with gorgeous views and an unspoilt beach. Right on the beach & with easy access to the beach. Secure complex. We’ll definitely be back!

The Villas No.4 (Direct Beach Access)
The house has amazing ocean views and the sound of the waves was a beautiful background to our stay. A few steps from the beach, we had a wonderful time.

Villa Bel Fiori Apartment - 2 Sleeper
Great location. Beautiful views. Evette, a friendly host who welcomed us to their wonderful place that we enjoyed staying at.

Azuri-Backup power (4 Adults & 2 Children) Umdloti
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!

Beautiful beach cottage in Salt Rock
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.

Incredible Beach House Sanctuary near Ballito!
Thank you Chad for a great stay ! The location of your home is perfect and the views from the house overlooking the sea and lagoon are spectacular. It was very peaceful sitting on the deck watching the sunsets. The kitchen was well equipped but lacking a dishwasher. Overall a great experience !

The Pearls of Umhlanga Elegant 2 Bedroom Apartment
We had the best stay at Magesh's place. I hope to return soon it's worth everything and more. Very clean and spacious, we felt comfortable immediately. Absolutely loved it.

Lovely beachfront 2 bedroom apartment with views
We had the most beautiful weekend away at Bonnies place. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a get away at Umhlanga. Bonnie was the perfect host, always available and so accommodating. The flat was exactly as advertised, beautiful views and location, clean and tastefully decorated. The only downside was that we only had 2 nights there.... Will definitely be back

Sunrise Beach Villa @26 Perissa Santorini
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 !

Lover's nest by the beach
Really enjoyed this peaceful unit. It is modern and spotless. Hosts graciously helped me out when I had to leave my other AirBnB early in the day. I opted for suggestion to go to a nearby mall for lunch. Uber is available but having a car (got one from nearby airport) made things easier. Stocked up on groceries from Woolworths. Strongly recommend this waterfront property. Views are from side balcony but still beautiful.

Modern loft with stunning views
We had a great stay - the place is very comfortable and we felt right at home. We loved the view of the harbor! It's very close to the prom and the beach. We were in town for the Ironman event -- and this place is absolutely the perfect location as it's just by the swim start and T1... we were able to bike and walk around very efficiently. And it was also quiet, secure, and convenient. Thanks again! If we're back in Durban for another IM we'd love to stay again.
