Coastal Home in Luxury Estate

DirkRating, 5 stars5 months ago

The Zululami Estate is very peaceful and the big bonus for us was the proximity of Sheffield beach with the rock pools, ideal for the little ones. The house is a good size holiday home, with a nice outside dining area, very child friendly (Thanks Rylee!) and with an extremely well equipped kitchen. Jenna, the host, was very responsive and friendly. She perfectly guided us to the house, explained everything you need to know and gave excellent advice. Thank you Jenna for the wonderful stay. We loved every moment of it and the kids had a blast.

The exterior of a multi-level apartment building is visible, showcasing multiple balconies with glass railings. Lush green grass surrounds the structure, complemented by neatly trimmed hedges. The bright blue sky provides a clear backdrop, emphasizing the building's modern design.

Simbithi Eco Estate / Full Solar / 4 Bed

NkosinjeRating, 5 stars9 months ago

Our family vacation at this accommodation was nothing short of exceptional. The house, located in a secure estate with beautiful wildlife, provided all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. Shops and beaches were within a convenient 10-kilometer radius. The host's generosity in allowing our kids to play with the toys was a heartwarming touch. While the security rules can be strict, the host's provided code helped to mitigate potential inconveniences. We experienced some minor issues with network coverage (this is somehow mitigated by wifi access and is not in the control of the host). The helper (cleaning lady) was amazing and we appreciated having someone to ask questions regarding the house. Overall, our stay was highly enjoyable and we would recommend this accommodation to families seeking a comfortable and convenient getaway.

A spacious outdoor area showcases a sleek swimming pool surrounded by green grass. Several lounge chairs with umbrellas are placed along the pool's edge, providing options for relaxation. The setting is complemented by distant views of contemporary buildings and a clear blue sky.

Coastal Bliss

IlishkaRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

Costal bliss went way over our expectations. The finishings in the house are immaculate, the estate itself is very peaceful and safe. It isn’t a walking distance to the beach though. The estate is still being constructed and the road to the beach is not completely tar. I also think that there should be 2 sets of towels per guest as using one set over multiple days is not what most people do. Other than the above two points, I would recommend the place to anyone and I would definitely be back.

An expansive outdoor patio features a spacious seating area with comfortable wicker chairs and a large dining table. The glass doors provide a seamless view into the modern interior, while the pool and lush green lawn enhance the outdoor atmosphere.

Salt Rock Escape

KellyRating, 5 stars5 months ago

Kimber and Byron were fantastic hosts, great on communication without any delay. The house was as described, the outside area was great for the kids to play. The pool safely secured with a net so kids played outside without a worry. Pool itself was nice and refreshing. We felt safe within Simbithi while still feeling we had our own private place amongst nature.

A serene outdoor scene features a swimming pool set within a lush green garden, reflecting the gentle glow of the morning sun. Tall trees and foliage frame the area, with a distant outline of homes visible in the background.
