Umdloti Resort - Prime Beachfront Apartment
Leslie's home was great. It was in a great location and Leslie was easy to get hold of when we had question. There were a couple of minor issues that were easily sorted out, like the location of the stove switch and the keys to one of the sliding doors. The only downside, had to do with the parking - there was something that dripped from the parking ceiling onto my windscreen and bonnet and I'm struggling to remove it.

Ive been coming to Umhlanga for 30 years and Jacque's place is by the far the best Ive ever stayed in - spacious, clean, right on the beach. Truly amazing, thanks!

Bush Willow Close
Gorgeous home with great layout and in a beautiful secure estate. Susie and Lauren were incredible hosts, very responsive and helpful and will definitely stay at their gorgeous house again when visiting Ballito again.

Luxury 3 Bed Villa in Setai Beach estate (8)
Thank u Frank for having us. The place is beautiful and clean. Definitely coming back again

Luxury at 230 (Cottage)
I cannot say enough positive things about my experience staying here. Nikki and Tom went above and beyond as air b&b hosts and truly made my experience amazing. When I landed in Durban, they picked me up from the airport and after learning that my luggage was stuck in Joburg, they took me to the store so that I could get some toiletries and food for the day. They were so patient and warm in every interaction that I had with them. When we lost water, they brought me a 5 liter jug and were extremely communicative any time we lost water or electricity. I was in Durban for two months and struggled to find people to travel with and they literally adopted me most weekends to hang out with them at their beach club. Regarding the air bnb itself, it was the perfect size for me. It is in the safest neighborhood with great restaurants and a bakery within walking distance! There's fiber internet and a washing machine. Loved this little cottage, love Nikki and Tom, and love Durban!!

Designer Home in North Coast Secure Estate
Leigh’s home is wonderful, spacious and beautifully decorated. The view from the deck into the the forest was so serene and peaceful. Leigh was a perfect host. She responded promptly thought our booking. Location of the property was perfect, close to shops and lots to do in the area for families. Thuli, the housekeeper was such a help. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Leigh’s and would definitely book again.

Luxury Ballito home in Simbithi with Jacuzzi
We had never stayed in an Airbnb property before and so had no idea what to expect. However, The Lilypad surpassed anything we could have imagined. The house itself was beautiful and much bigger than it seemed in the photos and Derrick and Margi are the perfect hosts. The house is spacious and very well equipped. Even the monkeys turned up to watch us eating lunch in the garden one day. It was like a wildlife documentary in reverse! We could not believe their generosity in taking our children to the airport at 5.30am after we left! If all Airbnb properties and hosts are all like this then we are hooked.

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.

Magical views of sea & forest, 1 min walk to beach
Sublime location with wonderful sea views! We had a really super time away!

NOMAX BEACH HOUSE. Ballito/Chakas Rock-beachfront
What can I say except WOW! Started off the day watching the sun rise over the ocean while enjoys a wonderful cup of tea on the two chairs dedicated to Nono and Maxime. We could then walk down to Thompson Bay beach directly from the garden. When a day in the waves was over, a short walk up the steps to the outdoor shower by the pool for a quick dip then a quick braai on the amazing stainless steel braai by the pool. To end it all, going to sleep with the doors open listening to the waves crashing all night! And in the morning, Elizabeth was there to sort out our messy dishes and Russel washed off all the kids beach toys…. I can’t recommend the place enough and hope to be back next year. Thank you Denise and team, truly amazing trip xx

Appin House (electrical & water backup)
The location was good, the house was jolly good, Essy was mega helpful, the facilities were fine, the grounds were delightful, the cottage next to the house was a pleasure, the gates worked well, and it was a decent place to stay. I thought it was useful value for the money. Before you arrive though you need to find a contact WhatsUp number because Roger was in Canada and the intercom at the gate didn't function. But that was a small thing. I'd be happy to go back again.

Spacious Cottage on secluded, child-friendly beach
Spectacular, from the location, the views, the beach access, space, and amenities, this place is heaven for those looking for a quiet, private breakaway to a pristine area just off the M4. Also close enough to Ballito for shopping. The house is perfect for families wanting to relax and enjoy the view, and really does have all you need. Debra was also an excellent host, very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely recommend!

THE NEST, Zinkwazi Beach
A comfortable, well appointed holiday home with mesmerising views over the ocean. It had everything we needed for a relaxing week's holiday. The pool is magnificent and beautifully set with the an awe-inspiring palm tree on one end (it must be the highest tree along the entire Zinkwazi ridge). It may be a long walk to the beaches, but we did not feel the need to use a car to get there at all as you get to see the neighborhood while getting some exercise. For fellow avid walkers, the beaches North or South of the village are well worth long ambling walks. The communication from Engela who runs reservations for the property was timely, accurate and helpful. Great stay!

WAZOS BEACH COTTAGE
Warren is a super cool host. Our stay was short and I wish I could stay on. The beach is just across the road. The cabin gives you that I’m on holiday feeling. Would go there again. Thanks again Warren for having us

Wowhaus - Courtyard Apartment
Stephanie was extremely welcoming and open to suggestions regarding our pets when we have to leave them whilst we were attending to shooping etc. She communicated everything well and was easy to talk to. We enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again.

Penthouse Apt With Amazing Sea View
We had an amazing stay at this gem on the Dolphin Coast! The apartment is beautiful and perfectly located—just steps from the beach and tidal pool. The sea views are breathtaking, and we loved spending time on the verandah overlooking Chakas Rock. It’s ideal for a couple or small family, with everything you need for a relaxing, self-catering holiday. The complex is safe and quiet, with restaurants just around the corner. Highly recommended for a coastal getaway!

top spot on Mentone
Jannes place is was perfect for myself and my 4 legged companion. We both felt right at home immediately and Janne was quite quick with responses with the very minor questions I had. Jannes place is definitely something to book if you are looking for a quiet, beautiful, well kept space. Definitely keeping this listing on a short list for future Durban visits. Thank you Janne for opening your home and for a great stay!

201 Bermudas Ocean Suite, Umhlanga. Back up power
Alan was responsive and ensured we had everything we needed, including getting us additional pots. Thank you for that. We had an amazing time. A special shout-out to Nandi, who made sure our apartment was perfectly clean throughout our stay.

Luxury beach holiday villa
Great location for a family. Private and quiet, yet an easy walk to beach and restaurants. Sandra the housekeeper was amazing!

Luxurious 44 - Sovereign Sands
We had a great relaxing family weekend away in this amazing space. Wish we could have stayed longer. The short walk directly onto the beach via an access controlled gate allowed us to enjoy the beach. The private pool was put to good use on returning from the beach to get away from the wind. The house is spacious with a great layout. Our host Elsie was great. We will definitely be back!

Beach Sea View Luxurious Umhlanga Apartment
Our second stay at Filip’s place. Again, great location with everything you need. Beautiful views. Filip was a great host and the apartment is perfect. Walking distance to beach, restaurants, and pubs.

Sheffield Views, Colwyn Drive, Sheffield Beach
Amazing stay - looks just like the pictures! The property agent Irvin was incredibly helpful in finding a solution to an area wifi issue that affected the property, so that we were still able to enjoy wifi. The cleaning staff were also very friendly and helpful.

Stay on the beach - 180° Unobstructed Sea View
We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this beachfront property! The location is unbeatable — right on the beach with breathtaking views of the ocean from sunrise to sunset. Waking up to the sound of waves and enjoying our morning coffee on the balcony with that incredible view was pure bliss. The home was spotless and equipped with everything we needed and more — from a fully stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, making our stay not just easy but genuinely relaxing. Communication with the host was smooth and friendly, and check-in was a breeze. You can tell they truly care about the guest experience. We’ve stayed at quite a few Airbnb properties, and this one really stands out. We’re already looking forward to our next visit! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful, well-appointed escape right on the water.
