Probably the best place to stay in Ballito, right on the beach with a beautiful balcony. We'd definitely stay here again for a next visit !

The Sabre Suite
Thank you Riana and Mike for an awesome stay, there were few glitches with booking but she was responsive and me feel super safe. The place is amazing, lives up to its standards and beyond. More than anything, the best part about the booking, were the hosts. I rate them 20/10!

201 Bali Hai, Sea Facing Apartment- Westbrook
Had such a great stay! The place is right across from the beach, the view was amazing. Absolutely beautiful and peaceful. Super clean, and I loved how the colors inside were all coordinated, it just felt really cozy and put together. The hosts were awesome , really friendly, super responsive, and the home made biscuits, such a sweet gesture! They also have a booklet for house rules, directions for appliances, and information on their favourite Salt Rock / Ballito restaurants, directions to the beach and other general information to help the guests enjoy their stay, how nice! Overall, a really peaceful and lovely place to stay. Would definitely come back!

From the moment we arrived, we were absolutely captivated. This accommodation is more than just a place to stay – it’s an experience. Nestled in a dreamlike location, with postcard-perfect views that shift beautifully with the light throughout the day. This stay truly fed the soul. If you’re looking for tranquility, beauty, and a place that will stay with you long after you leave, look no further. We can’t wait to return!

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!

Zimbali Estate Luxury Apartment with Sea Views
We had a wonderful experience staying here. Our host went above and beyond, providing invaluable advice on places to visit in the area, and every recommendation was spot on! The house was also exceptionally clean and had a lovely, warm atmosphere. We truly appreciated her hospitality and would definitely stay again.

Ballito Beachfront Bliss *with backup power*
We have just completed a 3 week stay with 4 adults sharing Loren's place. In our opinion it is the perfect place to stay if visiting Ballito. The apartment itself is large, very clean and extremely well equipped. The complex is very well maintained, in particular the pool and garden areas. It is also situated in an ideal spot with direct access to the boardwalk and beach, and is a within a short walking distance of shops and restaurants. Parking is secure and undercover. We can't add much more to all the other positive reviews which are spot on. For any golfers, we would highly recommend Umhlali Country Club golf course which is a 10 minute drive away. Thanks especially to our hosts Loren, Deon and Viv who are on hand and very quick to respond should you need anything.

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
